| Centurion | I would like to make mention of the Army of Occupation in the Mexican/American War. It fought very well against much larger enemies.

| Optio | 23 Punjab Regiment of the Indian Army. Battle of Longewala in 1971, a company of around 120 with just 2 recoiless rifles held out an outpost, with no minefield or artillery, against a Pakistani force of over 2000 troops and atleast 50 tanks, untill air support could come in. Mauryan forces under Chandragupta (322-298BC) and his successors. Forces overran almost all of South Asia. (Expansion stopped because of Emperor Asokas conversion to Buddhism). Gained control of ex-Persian territories, including large areas of Aghanistan and bits of Iran, through war and treties with Seleucus Nicator, Alexander's heir to the Greco-Bactrian areas. |

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Im surprised nobody mentioned this: THE IRON BRIGADE (2nd, 6th, and 7th Wisconsin, 19th Indiana) Union Army, aka 'The Black Hats'. Probably one of the best infantry brigades in the entire Civil War. These were crack troops. Only one of the exploits (but most famous) 1st Day at Gettsysburg the held off an entire division allowing Meade's Army of the Potomac to join the engagement and prevented Lee from capturing Culps Hill and the Little Round tops. They took 85% casualties...

| Banned  | I would have to add to the list. USS W.S. Sims - FF1059 USS Whipple - FF1062 USS Clark - FFG11 USS Samuel E. Morrison - FFG13 USS Saratoga - CV60 These Ships (units) are added due to the commonality of having a certain EWCS serve onboard each of them in various periods of his career! |
