Today, various SSA Units tried to attack our oil distribution buildings in south Kuwait in hope to inhibit our acess for crude oil, probably to gain time in a pointless, already lost fight against the new superior strength. But they did not knew our pump stations are armed well with tanks and EU Advanced Infantry units. It´s only a matter of time SSA will surrender. The Situation will be under control of EU Units, soon.

The spread wings of the Crested Caracara provide a subframe for the second Caracara at the top of a cell tower they have frequented over the past week or so. Before they move on, I will take as many pictures as possible. By the way, I’m not really sure if this counts as “subframing.”

"You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world."- Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower.
80 years ago today, the largest land, air, and sea invasion in the history of the world took place. After years of careful planning and deception, the Allied powers began the invasion of Nazi occupied Europe. In the early morning hours of June 6th, 1944, American and British paratroopers descended from their planes into the towns of Normandy to secure strategic towns and bridges, while the Allied navy was transporting the ground forces across the English Channel. The Americans would land at Omaha and Utah beaches, while the British and Canadians would land at Gold, Sword, and Juno beaches. They were also accompanied by free French, Dutch, Greek, Norwegian, Polish, Czech and others from occupied nations. A total of 156,000 of allied troops would take part in the invasion.
Upon landing, the Allies would encounter fierce German resistance, and the defenses of the Atlantic Wall. Despite suffering heavy casualties, the landings were successful. The Germans did not expect landings at such a scale to take place in Normandy, and instead prepared for landings at Calais. Within months, much of France would be liberated, with few remaining German holdouts. By the end of the invasion, a total of 1.4 million allied troops would be in France, with more on the way. The success of the invasion would pave the way for the eventual end of the war against Nazi Germany.

A Victorian special operations task force was assigned to ambush an exchange of radioactive material and capture a high value individual (HVI) codename Panther, a Russian arms dealer.
The tasks were assigned to the TF through drawing straws. The assault team consisted of Team 8, the Squadron Master Chief (Callsign Orca-minor), and two machine gunners from Team 7. The extraction team consisted of Team 55 with Squadron Commander (Callsign Orca-actual), and a fire support section from the Special Operations Regiment. The extraction team are mounted in two GMV, one LAV-FSV, one LAV-ICV, and one HMWV Cargo. The remaining operators from Team 7 in two HH-60 Pave Hawks would be the QRF and positioned at FOB Spade. Video links with the Task Force's TOC, Victoria’s National Command Centre (NCC), United States’ Situation Room and United Kingdom’s COBRA were also setup to monitor the mission on the day of the exchange.
As the assault team patrol to the exchange site after being inserted into the AO by high altitude high opening (HAHO) insertion, the extraction team departed the staging base and arrived at a rendezvous point.

Intelligence uncovered a weapons exchange between the financier Cerium and the arms dealer Cobalt, where the terrorist cell responsible for the oil platform attack also surfaced. A team from the Special Mission Unit was tasked to kill/capture those at the exchange.
The team from the Special Mission Unit was able to use the heavy foliage to conceal their advance. They reached the meeting location without detection and was able to achieve the element of surprise.
Only two members of the terrorist cell were able to notice the team approaching. They attempted to resist and were killed. The remainder were captured and the team immediately restrained them and moved them to an HLZ (Helicopter Landing Zone) for extraction. The team also prepared explosive charges to detonate the weapons and munitions recovered at the scene.

Operation Perch began on 7 June and was the attempt to capture Caen after the direct attack on D-day failed. The plan called for the 7th Armoured Division, supported by the 50th Division to strike south to capture Tilly-sur-Seulles, following which the 7th Armoured Division would capture Villers-Bocage and Evrecy. On 7 June, the 50th Division occupied Bayeux and advanced 3 miles (4.8 km) south. On 8 June a column from the division started south over the Caen–Bayeux railway into the Bocage. Advancing 6,000 yards (5,500 m) to the bridges between Tilly and Saint-Pierre (~1 mile (1.6 km) to the east), they were joined by the 8th D.L.I. but had placed themselves in a salient facing the Panzer Lehr Division and the SS Hitlerjugend Division. Saint-Pierre was captured after close-quarters fighting by 8 D.L.I. and 24th Lancers on 9 June. Counter-attacked on 10 June, they were for a time surrounded. This counter-attack blunted the advance to Villers-Bocage that day and the 69th Brigade attack on Cristot. The 8th D.L.I was finally withdrawn on 12 June after losing 212 officers and men in the struggle. During this time the remainder of the division had fought forward to hold a line (either side of the 7th Armoured Division) between La Belle Epine and Point 103 (~1 mile (1.6 km)) to the north-east of Saint Pierre.

ESA engineers test and debug ground control software and equipment, identifying and solving problems before a current or future mission can be affected.
They work close to real mission conditions to verify new software and hardware in a complete chain.
This runs from the flight controllers who sit at workstations through the complex and sophisticated mission control systems and ground tracking stations used to transmit commands right up to the satellite. And it’s all simulated in a safe, effective and rigorous way, helping to ensure the success of ESA missions.

A Sunwing passenger jet (SW703) traveling from Barkley Island to Victoria was hijacked by two gunmen from the Samedi Gang.
After two weeks of neogiation, an exchange of food and water for hostages, and the indication that the gunmen had a remote control, possibly a trigger for a bomb onboard, the Government of Victoria approved a hostage rescue and Team 7 of the National Mission Unit was deployed.
Just at dawn, snipers from Team 7 established an over-watch. Approaching from the plane's blind spot, the assault team also moved into position.

During Operation Blue Moon www.flickr.com/photos/8212187@N05/49182441817/in/datepost..., the Combined Anti-Terrorism Task Force (CATF) captured an Al-Asad financier. Interrogation of the financier revealed that they were in the process of purchasing radioactive material from Panther (a Russian arms dealer name Ulysses Klaue) as the terror group planned to build several dirty bombs to target Victoria, United States and the United Kingdom. He could not provide further details on the location of Panther, but the TF believed the plan was derailed with his capture. The financier, however, did revealed the location of several high value individuals in the network. The CATF began to surveil these individuals.
Several months later, the CATF captured a high value individual through the intelligence obtained from the financier. The HVI confirmed that Al-Asad did indeed had plans to obtain radioactive materials to build several dirty bombs and the plans became dormant since the capture of the financier. However, the plot had recently been revived. Further, the HVI provided the TF with the location where the terror group will be receiving the materials from Panther. The exchange would occur in an area within the Russian sphere of influence and Panther himself would be at the exchange. However, according to the HVI, security would be light since they wanted to avoid drawing any attention at the exchange. It was expected that they would be traveling in civilian vehicles.
The intelligence was shared among allied nations. After a discussion at the highest Government level, it was decided that CATF would be assigned to capture both the radioactive material and the HVT Panther.
A Victorian special operations task force was assigned with the operation. To keep the operation a secret, a task force out of rotation was assigned. After receiving their orders from the Squadron HQ's SCIF, the team commanders immediately gave Warning Orders to their team members and made preparations to depart for Camp Oasis.

The Night Watch is a 1642 painting by Rembrandt van Rijn. It is in the collection of the Amsterdam Museum but is prominently displayed in the Rijksmuseum as the best known painting in its collection. The Night Watch is one of the most famous Dutch Golden Age paintings.
The painting is famous for three things: its colossal size (363 cm × 437 cm (11.91 ft × 14.34 ft)), the dramatic use of light and shadow (tenebrism) and the perception of motion in what would have traditionally been a static military group portrait. The painting was completed in 1642, at the peak of the Dutch Golden Age. It depicts the eponymous company moving out, led by Captain Frans Banninck Cocq (dressed in black, with a red sash) and his lieutenant, Willem van Ruytenburch (dressed in yellow, with a white sash). With effective use of sunlight and shade, Rembrandt leads the eye to the three most important characters among the crowd: the two men in the centre (from whom the painting gets its original title), and the woman in the centre-left background carrying a chicken. Behind them, the company's colours are carried by the ensign, Jan Visscher Cornelissen. The figures are almost life-size.
Operation Night Watch will be the biggest and most wide-ranging research and conservation project in the history of Rembrandt’s masterpiece. The goal of Operation Night Watch is the long-term preservation of the painting. The entire operation will take place in a specially designed glass chamber so the visiting public can watch.
The Night Watch will be scanned millimetre by millimetre using a macro X-ray fluorescence scanner (macro-XRF scanner). This instrument uses X-rays to analyse the different chemical elements in the paint, such as calcium, iron, potassium and cobalt. From the resulting distribution maps of the various chemical elements in the paint it is possible to determine which pigments were used. The macro-XRF scans can also reveal underlying changes in the composition, offering insights into Rembrandt's painting process. To scan the entire surface of the The Night Watch it will be necesary to make 56 scans, each one of which will take 24 hours.
