Random information on the term “___ de los Reyes”:
Antonio de los Reyes Correa [note 1] (c. 1665 – June 9, 1758), also known as El Capitán Correa, was a Puerto Rican native who served as a Captain in the Spanish Army. Correa and his men defended the town of Arecibo from an English invasion in 1702.
Correa was born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, to Jose Rodriguez Correa and Francisca Rodriguez de Valdez Colon. He was in charge of a small militia whose job was to protect the city of Arecibo from any attack which the city may be subject to, either by pirates or foreign forces. His claim to fame came as a result of his defense of the city from an invasion by an English force on August 5, 1702.
During the early part of the 18th century the Kingdom of England was at war with Spain, and the English government ordered their military to attack all Spanish possessions in the Americas. On August 5, 1702, two English warships approached the coastal town of Arecibo. Two smaller boats with a company of Royal Marines landed on Arecibo’s beach. The Spanish militia – headed by Correa – had only thirty men, armed with just spears and machetes, as muskets and swords were not readily available to them during the time of the invasion. At the end of the battle there were twenty-two English dead on land and eight at sea, including the captain in charge of the landing troops, who had died at the hands of Correa. Correa himself was wounded in action, but he succeeded in forcing the English to retreat.
Random information on the term “DIA”:
The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is an intelligence agency of the United States federal government, specializing in defense and military intelligence.
A component of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the United States Intelligence Community (IC), DIA informs national civilian and defense policymakers about the military intentions and capabilities of foreign governments and non-state actors. It also provides intelligence assistance, integration and coordination across uniformed military service intelligence components, which remain structurally separate from DIA. The agency’s role encompasses the collection and analysis of military-related foreign political, economic, industrial, geographic, and medical and health intelligence. DIA produces approximately one-fourth of all intelligence content that goes into the President’s Daily Brief.
DIA’s intelligence operations extend beyond the zones of combat, and approximately half of its employees serve overseas at hundreds of locations and in U.S. embassies in 140 countries. The agency specializes in the collection and analysis of human-source intelligence (HUMINT), both overt and clandestine, while also handling U.S. military-diplomatic relations abroad. DIA concurrently serves as the national manager for the highly technical measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) and as the Defense Department manager for counterintelligence programs. The agency has no law enforcement authority, contrary to occasional portrayals in American popular culture.
