Format is approximately 4 inches by 6.25 inches. 20 pages counting front and back covers. Marked For Official Use Only presumed to no longer apply. Illustrations. An improvised explosive device IED is a bomb constructed and deployed in ways other than in conventional military action. It may be constructed of conventional military explosives such as an artillery shell attached to a detonating mechanism. IEDs are commonly used as roadside bombs. IEDs are generally seen in heavy terrorist actions or in asymmetric unconventional warfare by insurgent guerrillas or commando forces in a theater of operations. In the second Iraq War IEDs were used extensively against US-led invasion forces and by the end of 2007 they had become responsible for approximately 63% of coalition deaths in Iraq. They are also used in Afghanistan by insurgent groups and have caused over 66% of coalition casualties in the 2001present Afghanistan War. The Marine Corps Intelligence Activity MCIA is the Intelligence Support and Coordination Center for the Marine Corps Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Enterprise. MCIA produces all-source intelligence provides intelligence services and conducts intelligence and counterintelligence operations in support of current and future operations and force development. MCIA's Enterprise Operations Center is the Marine Corps' 24/7 single point of access for all-source intelligence reach-back support. MCIA is comprised of the service intelligence center CI/HUMINT Support Company and the Marine Cryptologic Support Battalion MCSB. MCIA headquarters is located in Quantico Virginia while MCSB headquarters is at Fort Meade Maryland. Marine Corps Intelligence Activity unknown‎

Figures. Tables. Ink notation at bottom of front cover. Distribution notice on front cover is understood to no longer apply do to the passage of time and advancement of technology. CATFAE stands for Catapult Launched Fuel-Air Explosive which is a land mine countermeasure. Prime Item Development Specifications is also known by the acronym PIDS. This document addresses military specification Military standards other relevant publications. It proves a general description of this all-up fuel-air explosive munition. It addresses ballistic dispersion and launch velocity. It presents its physical characteristics and components and assemblies. It discusses the Preproduction sample and Preproduction verification as well as quality assurance and preproduction inspections. Various aspects of testing and inspection are also discussed. Environmental factors such as shipboard vibration and mechanical shock are also discussed. A thermobaric weapon is a type of explosive that uses oxygen from the surrounding air to generate a high-temperature explosion and in practice the blast wave typically produced by such a weapon is of a significantly longer duration than that produced by a conventional condensed explosive. The fuel-air bomb is one of the best-known types of thermobaric weapons. Most conventional explosives consist of a fuel-oxidizer premix whereas thermobaric weapons are almost 100% fuel so thermobaric weapons are significantly more energetic than conventional condensed explosives of equal weight. Their reliance on atmospheric oxygen makes them unsuitable for use underwater at high altitude and in adverse weather. They are considerably more destructive when used against field fortifications such as foxholes tunnels bunkers and caves-partly due to the sustained blast wave and partly by consuming the oxygen inside. Many types of thermobaric weapons can be fitted to hand-held launchers. Marine Corps Research, Development and Acquisition Command, Mobility and Logistics Division paperback‎

This set of regulations reflects the standards in place between the first and second Persian Gulf Wars. The United States Marine Corps Officer Candidates School OCS is a training regiment designed to screen and evaluate potential Marine Corps Officers. Those who successfully complete the period of instruction are commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the United States Marines. Unlike the other United States military services the majority of Marine Corps officers complete OCS to earn a commission; the exceptions are midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy limited duty officers and inter-service transfers. It is located at Marine Corps Base Quantico. Officer Candidates go through either a 10-week PLC Combined/OCC or two 6-week courses PLC over separate summers designed primarily to screen and evaluate candidates' fitness to lead Marines by placing them in leadership positions in a stressful environment. Students are evaluated during 2-3 day garrison command billets at the company and platoon level and squad and fire-team level tactical billets during field exercises.

‎Four Centuries of Friendship; America-Bermuda Relations 1609-2009‎

‎Old Royal Naval Dockyard Bermuda: Bermuda Maritime Museum Press 2009. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 152 pages. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations some in color. Appendices. Photo sources. DJ has slight wear soiling and sticker residue. The book has become a Bermuda best-seller. The Library of Congress believes that it is the first complete historical summary of US-Bermuda relations written from an American perspective ever published. The book also provided the images and materials for the "400 Years of Friendship Walls" that had erected at the American Consulate and the U.S. Preclearance facility at the airport. The "Friendship Walls" convey America and Bermuda's long-lasting and mutually beneficial friendship for the hundreds of thousands of visitors that pass through the airport and the Consulate each year. Containing chapters on famous Americans who loved Bermuda from Mark Twain Babe Ruth Winslow Homer and Georgia O'Keefe to present day superstars such as Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones the book is an intimate portrait of a partnership that has meant so much to both lands. Covering everything from the early days through the Revolutionary War to Bermuda's key role in the allied victories in WWII and the Cold War the book will be a touchstone for everyone interested in US-Bermuda relations. And with chapters covering recent history - and a look at the potential future of the US/Bermuda alliance by US Consul General to Bermuda Gregory W. Slayton - Four Centuries of Friendship is a must-have for anyone interested in any aspect of US/Bermuda relations. Bermuda Maritime Museum Press hardcover‎

Bibliography. No restrictive markings but a statement that the contents were not to be reproduced without permission. Ex-library with usual library markings. Cover has some wear and soiling. Small tear in frontis illustration. Foreword by Major General K. D. Nichols Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. This volume is a compilation of lectures presented in Washington D. C. during 1947 1948 and 1949 in a joint course on "Medical Aspects of Nuclear Energy" presented by the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. This joint course was conducted for indoctrination of Medical Officers of the Armed Services with participation open to representatives of all interested government agencies. This volume should assist defense personnel preparing for complex casualty problems and others in the civil defense structure. The Armed Forces Special Weapons Project AFSWP was a U. S. military agency responsible for those aspects of nuclear weapons remaining under military control after the Manhattan Project was succeeded by the Atomic Energy Commission. These responsibilities included the maintenance storage surveillance security and handling of nuclear weapons as well as supporting nuclear testing. The AFSWP was a joint organization staffed by the U. S. Army U. S. Navy and U. S. Air Force. Major General Leslie R. Groves was its first chief. The early nuclear weapons were stored as components rather than complete devices and required expert knowledge to assemble. The short life of their lead-acid batteries and modulated neutron initiators and the heat generated by the fissile cores precluded storing them assembled. The large quantity of explosives in each weapon demanded special care be taken in handling. A team of regular Army officers were trained in the assembly and handling of the weapons. GPO hardcover‎
