	China Burma India Theater of World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The US forces in the CBI theater were grouped together for administrative purposes under the command of General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell, but unlike the other theaters in the war, for example the European Theater of Operations, it was never a "theater of operations" and did not have an overall operational command.
		This continued after the formation of the South East Asia Command (SEAC) and the appointment of Admiral Lord Mountbatten as the Supreme Allied Commander of South East Asia in October 1943.
		When the joint allied command was agreed upon, it was decided that the senior position should be held by a member of the British military because the British dominated Allied operations on the South-East Asian Theatre by weight of numbers (in much the same way as the US did in the Pacific Theater of Operations).

	Archaeology
		In the study of relatively recent cultures which have been observed and studied by Western scholars, archaeology is closely allied with ethnography.
		Among the goals of CRM are the identification, preservation, and maintenance of cultural sites on public and private lands, and the removal of culturally valuable materials from areas where they would otherwise be destroyed by human activity, such as proposed construction.
		CRM archaeologists face considerable time pressure, often being forced to complete their work in a fraction of the time that might be allotted for a purely scholarly endeavor.

	Talk:Battle of the Bulge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In both World War I and World War II the Allies fondly believed "no one will ever attack through the Ardennes" because of hills, forests, snows, few roads, etc. Whereupon, the Germans attacked twice achieving only partial success both times because it really is a poor place to attack through.
		Originally slated for the early hours of December 16, because of bad weather and fuel shortages Operation Stösser was delayed for a day with the new drop-time being set at 0300 hrs on December 17, their drop-zone was 11 km north of Malmedy and their target was the "Baraque Michel" crossroads.
		Although the German forces continued to stream rearward, by early October the supply situation was so poor that the Allied armies were unable to make much headway.
