It was Mr. Trump's most important order so far for the use of force — virtually all of his administration's other operations in Syria, Yemen and Iraq have been carried out under authorization delegated to his commanders — and appeared intended to send a message to North Korea, Iran and other potential adversaries that the new commander in chief was prepared to act, sometimes on short notice.

One component of this system is the Incident Command System. All radio communication in the United States is under authorization from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC); as such, fire departments that operate radio equipment must have radio licenses from the FCC. Ten codes were popular in the early days of radio equipment because of poor transmission and reception. Advances in modern radio technology have reduced the need for ten-codes and many departments have converted to simple English (clear text).

Escobar kept four hippos in a private menagerie at Hacienda Nápoles. They were deemed too difficult to seize and move after Escobar's death, and hence left on the untended estate. By 2007, the animals had multiplied to 16 and had taken to roaming the area for food in the nearby Magdalena River. In 2009, two adults and one calf escaped the herd and, after attacking humans and killing cattle, one of the adults (called "Pepe") was killed by hunters under authorization of the local authorities.

Outside the inhabited center, almost behind the city walls (in fact called in Latin "extra moenia"), there is the restored and, over time, enlarged church of San Sebastiano, built under authorization issued by the bishop of Camerino in 1479 to protect the plague. The first thing that stands out as soon as you are in front of this church is the portal decorated with terracotta tiles. Its interior is divided into two naves by three arches that support the roof. The bell of the binnacle during the last restorations was removed and is now kept in the Belfortese Town Hall.

The county began taking formation on November 14, 1788, under authorization of the Virginia General Assembly and was founded on October 5, 1789. The county was named for the Kanawha River, which in turn was named after a Native American tribe that lived in the area. (WV County Etymology) During the American Civil War, a number of state infantry and cavalry regiments were organized in the county for both Confederate Army and Union Army service. In 1863, West Virginia's counties were divided into civil townships, with the intention of encouraging local government. This proved impractical in the heavily rural state, and in 1872 the townships were converted into magisterial districts.

As all three states have portions of the ACF river basin, ACT river basin, or both within their borders, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida are involved in the issue. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed Lake Lanier under authorization and appropriations by Congress, and controls its flow of water for multiple purposes, so it is involved in the dispute. Concerned with the environmental effects on the two river basins, the Tri-State Conservation Coalition—a league of more than 45 organizations, including the Alabama Rivers Alliance, Southern Environmental Law Center, American Rivers, Lake Watch of Lake Martin, and Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper—is involved with the goal of preserving the water quality and other environmental factors.

The Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission is an agency of the government of Oklahoma charged with permitting and overseeing the display, creation, alteration, and usage of art and architecture for both the interior and exterior of the Oklahoma State Capitol building and associated complex. Under authorization by the Oklahoma Legislature in 2009, the Commission installed a Ten Commandments Monument on the north side of the Capitol in 2012. The Monument was not created using public funds but was rather a donation by Republican State Representative Mike Ritze from Broken Arrow. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) brought suit against the Commission in the District Court of Oklahoma County, alleging the Monument violated Article 2, Section 5 of the Oklahoma Constitution.

Officially named F. W. Gross High School on January 2, 1936, the Victoria Colored School, in Victoria County, Texas, United States, was built in 1901 under authorization of the newly elected school board. The Victoria Independent School District, formed in 1898, chose a design by architect Jules Leffland for the district's second high school, a segregated school for the "coloreds". The Colored School was built at 702 E. Convent Street, in the Diamond Hill area of Victoria, which had been settled by freedmen after the Civil War. The building was next door to the Freedmen's School (built in 1868 by the Freedmen's Bureau of Goliad County), which was turned into a dormitory for teachers of The Colored School.

In 1930 it was forbidden to distribute books that contained Marxist, Socialist or Anarchist like ideologies, but these books could be collected in public libraries in special sections not open to the general public. The same happened for the books that were sequestrated. All these texts could be read under authorization for scientific or cultural purposes, but it is said that this permission was quite easy to obtain. In 1938 there were public bonfires of forbidden books, enforced by fascists militias ("camicie nere"): any work containing themes about Jewish culture, freemasonry, communist, socialist ideas, were removed also by libraries (but it has been said that effectively the order was not executed with zeal, being a very unpopular position of the Regime).

During testimony before the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee, in which he voluntarily testified on the record, he stated "if it happened during my tenure then I am ultimately responsible"; he apologized for the actions that had been taken by certain members of the department stating that those names should not have been entered into that data base. He further stated on the record, that one of those named did in fact raise concerns for violence due to past actions and statements and went on to say that "sometimes advocacy groups can have one or more fringe people who have their own agenda" meaning they attach themselves to the group.
