Let's break down the anatomy of a fence! The vertical components of a fence are called the posts. These provide the main support and structure for the entire fence. Attached to the posts are horizontal rails, which add stability and create a framework for the rest of the fence. The pointed tops of the fence are called pickets, named after the historical stakes used by infantry. Finally, the cap sits on the top of the fence, providing a finished look and additional protection. There you have it! The basic components of a fence: posts, rails, pickets and caps. Each plays a crucial role in the fence's structure, functionality and aesthetics. #fenceanatomy #fencing #outdoorliving #prestigepicketsandfencing #qualitytimberfencingmaterials

Digital Photographs Four Pack "WWII German Tiger Tank Collection with Crew & Grenadiers. The Tiger I was a German heavy tank of World War II that operated beginning in 1942 in Africa and in the Soviet Union, usually in independent heavy tank battalions. It gave the German Army its first armored fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun (derived from the 8.8 cm Flak 36). 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. After August 1944, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favor of the Tiger II. While the Tiger I has been called an outstanding design for its time, it has also been called over-engineered, using expensive materials and labor-intensive production methods. In the early period Tiger was prone to certain types of track failures and breakdowns and was in general limited in range by its high fuel consumption. It was expensive to maintain, but generally mechanically reliable. It was difficult to transport and vulnerable to immobilization when mud, ice, and snow froze between its overlapping and interleaved Schachtellaufwerk-pattern road wheels, often jamming them solid. This was a problem on the Eastern Front in the muddy rasputitsa season and during periods of extreme cold. The tank was given its nickname "Tiger" by Ferdinand Porsche, and the Roman numeral was added after the Tiger II entered production. The initial designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H (literally "armored combat vehicle VI version H", abbreviated PzKpfw VI Ausf. H) where 'H' denoted Henschel as the designer/manufacturer. It was classified with ordnance inventory designation Sd.Kfz. 182. The tank was later re-designated as PzKpfw VI Ausf. E in March 1943, with ordnance inventory designation Sd.Kfz. 181.

Look 👇👇👇 One of the most striking types of bunkers you can find in France is the Regelbau S414. It is a fire control bunker for coastal gun batteries designed for the German navy. It has multiple levels for observation crews and rangefinders, to establish targets and their range so firing solutions could be made for the guns. Around 3,500 tons of concrete and 110 tons of steel were used in the construction of a single S414 bunker. Only two can be seen in France and these are found at the Le Grand Blockhaus in Batz-sur-Mer and at the Battery Graf Spee near Brest. The latter is the one in this image; it was constructed to protect the port of Brest, one of the few harbors in France that could handle the Tirpitz and Bismarck. 📸 - 270862

Combat Hunter Course Learn about the Combat Hunter Course that Marines go through at SOI. https://lnkd.in/gKJdJMDs In the Marine Corps, "Combat Hunter" is more than just a title, it's a mindset. It's a challenge for Marines to be more intuitive and more aware of their surroundings. The "Combat Hunter" course is designed to teach Marines how to track targets, friendly or enemy, by noticing differences in the environment around them. Marines are taught three main skills throughout the Combat Hunter course: tracking, observation, and profiling. These skills are the foundation of the program and teach Marines to be aware of dangers at all times. The observation and pattern analysis skills inherent to hunting help Marines identify a threat, reduce the risk of casualties, and increase their chances of survival. Marines learn to balance movement with stealth and speed. They are taught to take into consideration how they could be viewed by a target on a potential landscape and to take advantage of concealment when possible.

The Safran STERNA GLPS (Gun Laying and Positioning System) accurately determines True North in nearly any terrain and weather condition, maintaining high accuracy even on reinforced concrete floors and in dense urban areas. Its performance remains unaffected by the operator's gear or the presence of heavy armored vehicles. The STERNA GLPS operates reliably in GPS-denied environments without requiring the operator to carry additional support resources. This man-portable system offers high azimuth accuracy and ensures precise, predictive fires, even in GPS-denied or spoofing areas. It integrates seamlessly with standard FCC/BMS and features a user-friendly display for easy operation. Designed for use with mortars, as well as towed or self-propelled artillery, the multifunctional STERNA GLPS also supports observing tasks, making it a versatile tool for modern artillery operations.

A Roman "Scorpio" was similar in appearance to a medieval crossbow. It was a torsion powered device, using ox sinew ropes that were good for holding power while under load, that could fire a bolt 600 metres from a large machine and 200 on the small units. This design fired wooden or metal arrows while the different model (onager) could propel huge stone projectiles using a throwing arm with a large bowl sized to match the dimensions of the ball, these were primarily used for siege warfare capable of launching up to 60 kg balls. According to Polybius, during the 2nd Punic War each legion had 60 of these two-man artillery pieces. The enemy was very aware of the lethal accuracy and range of these weapons. Due to their small size they were easily transported, manoeuvrable and repairable. They could be mounted on a wagon, attached to wheels and pushed or pulled by a horse. A small single man unit could plausibly be carried by a man depending on fitness levels. Caesar writes that they were invaluable during his Gallic Campaign, with efficient units able to fire three bolts per minute, accurately, at a range of up to 400 metres. These machines had their own operating team and extra manned protection due to the effectiveness of them in all types of conflict. Photo: Public Domain.
