The United States Army Ordnance Corps formerly the United States Army Ordnance Department is a Sustainment branch of the United States Army headquartered at Fort Lee Virginia. The broad mission of the Ordnance Corps is to supply Army combat units with weapons and ammunition including at times their procurement and maintenance. Along with the Quartermaster Corps and Transportation Corps it forms a critical component of the U.S. Army logistics system. The U.S. Army Ordnance Corps mission is to support the development production acquisition and sustainment of weapon systems ammunition missiles electronics and ground mobility materiel during peace and war to provide combat power to the U.S. Army. The officer in charge of the branch for doctrine training and professional development purposes is the Chief of Ordnance. Even though World War I had been raging in Europe for nearly three years the Ordnance Department had to play catch-up when the United States entered the war. With only 97 officers and 1241 enlisted soldiers the department had a myriad of problems to overcome. However by the end of the war it had solved all these problems matured as an organization and adapted to modern mechanized warfare. It established an embryonic process for echelon based maintenance for field units a tradition of Ordnance education at one of the officer or enlisted Ordnance schools a new proving ground at Aberdeen Maryland and a plan to coordinate production and mobilize industry. By the end of the war the Ordnance Department numbered 5954 officers and 62047 enlisted soldiers with 22700 of those officers and soldiers serving in the American Expeditionary Force in France. During the interwar period the lessons from WWI were studied and consolidated. The Ordnance Field Manual of 1933 was a foundational doctrinal statement prior to the onset of the Second World War. The Ordnance mission in the field during WWII operated on a scale never experienced previously by the Ordnance Department. During World War II the Ordnance Branch gained its third core competency Bomb Disposal renamed Explosive Ordnance Disposal after WWII added to its previous missions of ammunition handling and maintenance. By war's end there were more than 2200 Ordnance units of approximately 40 types ranging in size from squads to regiments. United States, War Department, Chief of Ordnance hardcover‎

‎Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1944. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Good. v 1 248 2 pages. Illustrations. Fold-outs. Charts and Tables. Index. With Change No. 1 7 1 pages laid in. Change No. 1 includes Figure 106 Standard time zones in the United States. Cover has some wear and soiling. This manual supersedes TM 4-225 Orientation 15 July 1941. 1. Definition Orientation is defined as any process by which direction is ascertained. When the word orientation is used in connection with artillery however it includes the location of points in both a horizontal and vertical direction and the establishment of lines of known length and azimuth. 2. Methods The methods of solution of an orientation problem are dependent upon the time available for the solution and the equipment at hand. The methods presented in this manual include both quick approximate methods and more lengthy precise methods. 3. Precision Precision is the ideal which is sought for in the solution of any orientation problem. However the time permitted for the solution may not be sufficient to allow the completion of the problem by a precise method. A hasty approximation of direction is far preferable to an uncompleted survey made with a high degree of precision. The greatest precision consistent with the time available must be the goal of all reconnaissance officers. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback‎

The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was an all-weather interceptor aircraft designed and produced by the American aircraft manufacturer Convair. The F-106 was designed in response to the 1954 interceptor program. Envisioned as an imagined "Ultimate Interceptor" it was a development of the F-102 Delta Dagger and commenced as the F-102B prior to being redesignated by the United States Air Force USAF. The F-106 was designed without a gun or provision for carrying bombs instead carrying its AIM-4 Falcon air-to-air missiles within an internal weapons bay its clean exterior was beneficial to supersonic flight. Major differences from the F-102 included the adoption of the more powerful Pratt & Whitney J75 turbojet engine heavily redesigned air inlets along with a variable-geometry inlet duct to suit a wide range of supersonic speeds application of the area rule to the fuselage shaping and a general increase in size. On 26 December 1956 the first prototype performed its maiden flight. After flight testing demonstrated lesser performance gains than anticipated the USAF ultimately only ordered 350 of the planned 1000 F-106s. Becoming operational in June 1959 the F-106 was the primary all-weather interceptor aircraft of the USAF through much of the Cold War era; it ended up being the final specialist interceptor to be used by the service to date. It was never used in combat nor were any export opportunities secured. During the 1960s a competitive evaluation between the F-106 and the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II determined the latter to be marginally superior yet the type continued to be operated for a further two decades due to extensive demand for the F-4 in other roles. Convair proposed various improved models of the F-106 typically focused on the radar communications and other avionics but none of these schemes were pursued. In one high-profile incident over Montana on 2 February 1970 an unmanned F-106 recovered from a flat spin after its pilot had ejected belly landing relatively intact in a snow-covered cornfield; it was recovered and continued to be flown for numerous years afterwards. The F-106 was gradually withdrawn from USAF service during the 1980s as the arrival of newer air superiority fighters particularly the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle had made the role of dedicated interceptors obsolete. Numerous F-106s would be operated for a time by the Air National Guard. Many withdrawn aircraft were promptly converted into target drones and redesignated QF-106 under the Pacer Six program which were used up in 1998. A handful of F-106s were operated by NASA for experimental purposes such as the Eclipse Project through to 1998. Air Force/Frye & Smith (Convair) unknown‎
