A front line in military terminology is the position closest to the area of conflict of an armed force's personnel and equipment referring to land forces. When a front between opposing sides forms, the front line is the area where each side's forces are engaged in conflict. All branches of the U. S. armed services use the related technical terms, Forward Line of Own Troops and Forward Edge of Battle Area. These terms are used as battlespace control measures that designate the forward-most friendly maritime or land forces on the battlefield at a given point in time during an armed conflict. FLOT/FEBA may include screening forces; the Forward Line of Enemy Troops is the FEBA from the enemy's perspective. Although the term "front line" first appeared in the 1520s, it was only in 1842 that it was recorded used in the military sense, its first use as an adjective was from 1915. The word "front" gained the military sense of "foremost part of an army" in the mid-14th century, which, in turn, led the word to take on the meaning "field of operations in contact with the enemy" in the 1660s.

That sense led to the phrase home front, which first appeared in 1919. In a non-combat situation or when a combat situation is not assumed, front can mean the direction in which the command is faced; the attributive adjective version of the term front line describes materiel or personnel intended for or in forward use: at sea, on land or in the air: at the front line. In the land campaigns of World War I, FEBAs, FLOTs and FLETs could be identified by eye. For example, in France and Belgium they were defined by opposing defensive trench systems. Typical modern conflicts are vastly different, characterised by "war amongst the people", the concept of a "Three Block War", the presence of an asymmetric threat from irregular or terrorist combatants. In those cases, the concepts of front line, FEBA, FLOT and FLET may be of little relevance; the term "front line" has come to refer more to any place where bullets and bombs are flying or are to fly.

An archaeological open-air museum is a non-profit permanent institution with outdoor true-to-scale architectural reconstructions based on archaeological sources. It holds collections of intangible heritage resources and provides an interpretation of how people lived and acted in the past; the above definition was made by EXARC. By that time Roeland Paardekooper was their director. Further explanation of its components: Museum – "A museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, researches and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education and enjoyment." Professional practice and performance in archaeological open-air museums should respect the ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums. True to scale architectural reconstructions in the open air – Archaeological open-air museums deal with outdoor true to scale reconstructed buildings; these can be constructed and interpreted only under the condition that: "the original buildings of the type portrayed are no longer available the copies or reconstructions are made according to the strictest scientific methods".

The authenticity of materials and techniques used should be accounted for through written and accessible records, quoting the sources of information on which the reconstructions are based. An honest assessment of each reconstruction should be feasible. Collections of intangible heritage resources – The overall presentation of an archaeological open-air museum can be regarded as a collection of intangible heritage resources which provides an interpretation of how people lived and acted with reference to a specific context of time and place. Connected to scientific research – The connection between scientific research and any specific archaeological open-air museum is provided by the active role of a trained archaeologist among the staff or an archaeological counsellor belonging to an affiliated organisation. Appropriate interpretation with organisation of activities for visitors – Depending on the nature and number of visitors, different kinds of interpretation can be appropriate; these activities can involve guided tours, educational programmes, presentation of experimental archaeology research, demonstrations of ancient crafts and techniques, live interpretation and living history activities.

Examples of archaeological open-air museums are Flag Fen, Lake Dwelling Museum Unteruhldingen, Colonial Williamsburg, Plimoth Plantation, West Stow Anglo-Saxon village, Butser Ancient Farm, Havránok, the Scottish Crannog Centre and the Eindhoven Museum.

The Couronian colonisation of the Americas was performed by the Duchy of Courland, the second smallest state to colonise the Americas, with a colony on the island of Tobago from 1654 to 1659, intermittently from 1660 to 1689. Courland was located in present-day Latvia, had a population of only 200,000 of Latvian and Baltic German ancestry, was itself a vassal of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at that time. Under Duke Jacob Kettler, a Baltic German, it established one of the largest merchant fleets in Europe, with its main harbours in Windau, Libau. During his travels to Western Europe, Duke Jacob became an eager proponent of mercantilism. Metalworking and shipbuilding became much more developed. Trading relations were established not only with nearby countries, but with England, the Netherlands and others; the Duchy's ships started undertaking trade voyages to the West Indies at least as early as 1637, when a Couronian ship attempted to found a colony on Tobago with 212 settlers. An earlier European settlement on the island, a Dutch colony named New Walcheren, formed in 1628, had been wiped out a few months earlier by Spain.

The first Couronian colony met a similar end, whilst a second attempt was blockaded by Spain and strangled in infancy by 1639. In 1642 two ships under Captain Caroon with about 300 settlers attempted to settle on the north coast near Courland Bay; this colony proved more successful. Jesuit missionaries among the Carib agitated and armed the tribes to attack the settlement, subsequently evacuated to Tortuga and Jamaica. Under agreement with other Protestant powers who saw their various individual efforts insufficient to trade and/or colonise the Americas and the Indies Courland's attention shifted to Africa. In 1651 the Duchy gained its first successful colony in Africa, on St. Andrews Island in the Gambia River and it established Fort Jacob there. Soon afterwards the Protestant powers felt sufficiently organised and prepared to launch several colonial expeditions against Spanish interests in the Caribbean; the alliance between England and the Netherlands against Spain began to break apart under England's new trading program.

The Dutch were primary competitors to Courland, which decided to support the English in the brewing conflict. Therefore, Courland received permission from its Protestant English allies to make still another attempt at a colony on Tobago. On 20 May 1654, the ship Das Wappen der Herzogin von Kurland arrived carrying 45 cannon, 25 officers, 124 Couronian soldiers and 80 families of colonists to occupy Tobago. Captain Willem Mollens declared the island "New Courland". A fort was erected on the southwest of the island called Fort Jacobus with the surrounding town called Jacobsstadt. Other features were given Couronian names such as Great Courland Bay, Jacobs Bay, Courland Estate, Neu-Mitau, Libau Bay and Little Courland Bay. In their first year on the island the Couronians built an Evangelical Lutheran church; the colony was successful, but the Netherlands was not willing to accede to losing the West Indies and replied by establishing its own colony nearby a few months later. Thus, the small Couronian colony soon became overshadowed by a second Dutch colony.

While 120 Couronian colonists had come in 1657, the Dutch colony reached a population of 1,200 by the next year, when 500 French Protestant refugees fleeing Catholic persecution joined them. Goods exported to Europe included sugar, coffee, ginger, rum, tortoise shells, tropical birds and their feathers; the Duchy of Courland became a focus of strategic interest for both Poland-Lithuania. In 1655 the Swedish army entered the territory of the Duchy and the Northern Wars began; the Swedish army held Duke Jacob captive from 1658 to 1660. During this period both colonies continued to thrive until they were taken by the more numerous Dutch settlers, who surrounded Fort James and forced Hubert de Beveren, Governor of the Couronians, to surrender; the merchant fleet and factories were destroyed. Courland yielded New Courland on 11 December 1659. However, this war ended with the Treaty of Oliwa of 1660, on the basis of which Tobago was returned to Courland. Although peace had been established between the Couronians and the Dutch, there still remained Spain.

Following several attacks by buccaneers seeking new harbours, an expeditionary fleet of Spanish vessels, the Couronians left Tobago in 1666. In 1668 a Couronian ship was driven off by the Dutch. Tobago was regained again just for a short period at the end of Duke Jacob's rule with an attempt in July 1680 at a new colony which later failed, he began to restore the fleet and factories, the Duchy never again reached its previous level of prosperity. The island was abandoned except for visiting buccaneers from March 1683 to June 1686, before again being occupied by a collection of scattered Couronians from throughout the Dutch and English West Indies, as well as by fresh settlers from the home country. In May 1690, shortly after the island was sold by Courland the previous year, the Couronian government permanently left Tobago, those who remained joined the buccaneers or other Anglo-Dutch colonies. Absentee governors would continue to be appointed until 1795, thereby facilitating the continued use of covert privateering Letters of Marque and Reprisal in the region.
