A bivouac is a structure formed by migratory army ant and driver ant colonies, where a nest is constructed out of the living ant worker s own bodies to protect the queen and larva e, and is later deconstructed as the ants move on. ref William B.

Brown 1954 The Bivouac or Temporary Nest as an Adaptive Factor in Certain Terrestrial Species of Army Ants. Ecological Monographs 24 3 269 296 ref Army ants can forage and feed on insects over large areas of more than 1,800 square yards in a single day, so they must constantly move to new areas. During what is called the migratory phase, the ants set up bivouacs at new sites each night. As many as 150,000 to 700,000 worker bodies cover and protect the queen, linking legs and bodies in a mass that measures a metre across. Thousands of larvae are located near the center with the queen, and workers are responsible for feeding them. Larger workers also serve as porters, carrying larvae to new bivouacs. In the morning, the bivouac dissolves into raiding columns that form a fan shaped front. These raiding columns can travel up to 20 meters per hour with lead workers laying a chemical trail for other workers to follow. Smaller workers lead the column, while larger, formidable soldiers protect the flanks. References reflist ant stub Category Myrmecology de Biwaknest ... more details

Few tribal risings occur and the amir Abdor Rahman continues to express friendly relations with Britain. Yet there is a disquieting rumour that Russia is preparing to advance on Herat in certain eventualities, and that an experimental mobilization of Russian troops from Tiflis to Kushk some sixty miles from Herat was made at the close of the year. The amir keeps up a friendly correspondence with the viceroy , George Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston Lord Curzon , during the year, and the relations between Afghanistan and the Indian government were never more cordial. February 1899 Several small disturbances are created along the frontier by marauding bands of Waziris and Mahsud s, which are easily suppressed by the local militia without aid from regular troops. March 1, 1899 Capt. George Roos Keppel makes a sudden attack on a predatory band of Chamkanni s that have been raiding in the Kurram Valley and captures 100 prisoners with 3,000 head of cattle. These raids, though tiresome, are, however, of no political importance. May 1899 In consequence of repeated outrages committed by the Waziris, and especially because of the murder of Col. E.H. le Marchant of the Royal Hampshire Regiment Hampshire Regiment , the Indian government orders the partial disarmament of the Peshawar division, and of all trans border Pashtun people Pashtun s at the frontier, and the disarmament of all persons without licenses in all municipalities and cantonments within the division. July 1899 In spite of punitive measures the Waziri robbers continue their lawless attacks, chiefly with a view to cattle raiding.

By 08 00 hours, 40 Commando had captured the town and controlled the approaches. So complete was the surprise that German vehicles and motor cyclists still drove into a Commando ambush position until noon. The Germans counter attacked in strength and 2 Commando with 40 Commando, the Special Raiding Squadron and some reinforcements from the 78th Infantry Division United Kingdom 78th Division , held off repeated and heavy infantry and armoured counter attacks by the 26th Panzer Division until eventually the Eighth Army United Kingdom 8th Army linked up with them on 6 October. The operation was an outstanding success.
