This manual was designed for use by antiaircraft searchlight batteries as a guide in the handling of materiel selection of personnel employment of practical training methods and service of the piece. This manual reflects the state of knowledge and the standards of practice at the time of entry of the U. S. into World War II. An Anti-Aircraft Searchlight Battery was used for the detection location and illumination of enemy aircraft during darkness enabling Gun Batteries to fire at enemy aircraft efficiently. The battery was made up of 2 transport trucks Searchlight Control Station Sound Locator Power plant and interconnecting cables. It took a team of 12 men to operate One Searchlight Battery. The U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps CAC was an administrative corps responsible for coastal harbor and anti-aircraft defense of the United States between 1901 and 1950. The CAC also operated heavy and railway artillery during World War I. The outbreak of war in Europe in September 1939 and the Fall of France in June 1940 greatly accelerated US defense planning and funding. On 27 July 1940 the Army's Harbor Defense Board recommended the construction of 27 eventually 38 16-inch two-gun batteries to protect strategic points along the US coastline to be casemated against air attack. The 16-inch guns were only the top end of the World War II program which eventually replaced almost all previous coast defense weapons with newer or remounted weapons. Generally each harbor defense command was to have two or three 16-inch or 12-inch long-range batteries plus 6-inch guns on new mountings with protected magazines and 90 mm Anti Motor Torpedo Boat AMTB guns.29 In 1943-44 with most of the new defenses completed U.

The following system of Drill Regulations for Infantry is approved and published for the information and government of the Regular Army and the Organized Militia of the United States. With a view to ensure uniformity throughout the Army all infantry drill formations not embraced in this system are prohibited. This represents the state of knowledge and the state of practice at the time the United States Army was engaged in overseas combat operations during the First World War. Success in battle is the ultimate object of all military training; success may be looked for only when the training is intelligent and thorough. Commanding officers are accountable for the proper training of their respective organizations within the limits prescribed by regulations and orders. The excellence of an organization is judged by its field efficiency. The field efficiency of an organization depends primarily upon its effectiveness as a whole. Thoroughness and uniformity in the training of the units of an organization are indispensable to the efficiency of the whole; it is by such means alone that the requisite teamwork may be developed. The Drill Regulations are furnished as a guide. They provide the principles for training and for increasing the probability of success in battle. The principles of combat are considered in Part II of these regulations. They are treated in the various schools included in Part I only to the extent necessary to indicate the functions of the various commanders and the division of responsibility between them. The amplification necessary to a proper understanding of their application is to be sought in Part II. Drill combat marches and camps ceremonies and inspections as well as manuals are all addressed.

Drill Regulations for 155 MM. Howitzer Model 1915 S. Translated and Prepared at the Headquarters AEF France
Washington DC: Army War College 1917. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Stiff wraps. Good. Pocket-sized. 2 97 3 pages. Wraps. Table. Appendix. War Department Document No. 719. Before entering World War I the United States was poorly equipped with heavy artillery. To address this problem a number of foreign heavy artillery guns were adopted including the Canon de 155 mm GPF. After the end of the war the Westervelt Board was convened to assess the artillery experience of the combatant powers and map out future directions for the US Army artillery. The conclusion of the board vis-a-vis heavy field artillery was that the French 155mm GPF should be adopted as the standard heavy field piece but further development work should occur to achieve a heavy field gun with a max. range of 25000 yards a vertical arc of fire from 0° to 65° a projectile not exceeding 100 lbs and the capability to be mounted on a caterpillar mount or a rubber tired towed mounting. The Canon de 155 C modèle 1915 Saint-Chamond was a French howitzer used during World War I. It was based on a private prototype of a 150 millimetres 5.9 in howitzer presented to the Mexican government in 1911. The French government ordered 400 Saint-Chamond howitzers in 1915 these being delivered starting in late 1916. Small numbers of Saint-Chamond howitzers were given to the Serbian and Romanian armies towards the end of World War I. The Saint-Chamond howitzer served in the French Army after World War I and were mobilized at the outbreak of World War II. Finland bought 24 Saint-Chamond howitzers during the Winter War and these served until the 1960s. Although the Saint-Chamond howitzer was 400 kg lighter than the equivalent Schneider howitzer its maximum range was 2400 metres 2600 yd shorter. It was used in second line and training units until the end of World War 1. Army War College paperback

Charles White Berry April 11 1871 - April 30 1941 was an American physician soldier and New York City Comptroller. Berry graduated from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1896. He then began practicing medicine in Brooklyn devoting much of his time to childhood diseases. He was heavily involved in public health working for the New York City Department of Health and the New York State Department of Health as a diagnostician and epidemiologist. In 1917 he received a degree in doctor of public health from New York University. In 1911 when trouble was brewing with Mexico he sought and obtained a commission as first lieutenant in the 14th Infantry. A year later he was commissioned a captain. While serving he was commended by Major General Leonard Wood for having the most efficient company in the National Guard. From 1913 to 1914 he was an Aide to governor Martin H. Glynn. Shortly afterwards he was mustered in to serve with the 14th Infantry during the Mexican Border War. He received an honorable discharge in 1916. When America was preparing to enter World War I Berry again enlisted as a private in the 14th Infantry. He was commissioned a major of infantry transferred to the 106th Infantry 27th Division and set sail for France in May 1918. He commanded the 2nd Battalion of the 106th stationed in the Ypres sector in Belgium. He was then promoted to lieutenant-colonel and transferred to the 105th Infantry. He led the regiment at Dickebusch Lake and the Battle of Vierstraat Ridge. He was second in command of the regiment in the Battle of the Hindenburg Line and the subsequent advance to Canal De La Sambre. After the Armistice was signed he returned to the United States in November 1918. For his military service he was awarded the Croix de guerre with Palms the Conspicuous Service Cross and was cited for gallantry in action. In January 1919 New York governor Al Smith commissioned Berry Brigadier General and appointed him Adjutant General of New York. He served until 1920. In 1923 Smith again appointed Berry Adjutant General of New York. In May 1923 Smith appointed him Major-General Commander of the New York National Guard to replace General John F. O'Ryan.
