During the Second World War U.S. artillery regiments consisted of an HQ detachment one 155 mm artillery battalion and three 105 mm artillery battalions. Both the 155 mm and 105 mm battalions had twelve guns each divided into three batteries of four guns. The 105 mm M101A1 howitzer previously designated M2A1 was an artillery piece developed and used by the United States. It was the standard U.S. light field howitzer in World War II and saw action in both the European and Pacific theaters. Entering production in 1941 it quickly gained a reputation for accuracy and a powerful punch. The M101A1 fired 105 mm 4.1 in high explosive HE semi-fixed ammunition and had a range of 12330 yards making it suitable for supporting infantry. All of these qualities of the weapon along with its widespread production led to its adoption by many countries after the war. Its ammunition type also became the standard for many foreign countries' later models. United States, War Department paperback‎

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

Abbreviations. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some corners creased. Some page wear and soiling. Format is 8 inches by 10.25 inches. This is one of the American Forces in Action Series. The Historical Division's Information and Historical Units attached to field armies conducted extensive interviews with personnel of units engaged in typical unusual or critical actions. The interviews were accompanied by terrain study of the battlefield sometimes conducted with members of the units being interviewed. Every effort was made by careful checking and rechecking to obtain a full and accurate account. The four narratives given here will serve as samples of the source materials thus obtained containing in very large measure data which are not to be found in unit records. The latter were used in every case however to check and supplement interviews. The actions chosen for this publication illustrate widely varying tactical problems and methods. Only one Pointe du Hoc represents a highly specialized form of action; the others are typical of scores of battles in their respective theaters of operations. All are average in the sense that they are not 'success' stories but cross sections of a war which involved reverses as well as victories. This fact will be obscured in histories of campaigns and major battles for in these U.S. forces were almost uniformly successful. But the larger successes were won by actions like those recorded here; in every phase of the war battalions and companies went through a daily fare of experience that was never uniform that nearly always included some measure of trial and even defeat as part of the fuller pattern which over a longer period added up to victory.

The Hague Convention of 1899 are a series of international treaties and declarations negotiated at two international peace conferences at The Hague in the Netherlands. Along with the Geneva Conventions the Hague Conventions were among the first formal statements of the laws of war and war crimes in the body of secular international law. The Convention with respect to the Laws and Customs of War on Land contains the laws to be used in all wars on land between signatories. It specifies the treatment of prisoners of war includes the provisions of the Geneva Convention of 1864 for the treatment of the wounded and other provisions. The section was ratified by all major powers mentioned above. The Hague Convention of 1907 reaffirmed these rules with minor revisions and was also ratified by the major powers. Reflects the rules of war baseline that the United States Army took into the First World War. The First World War was one of the earliest major conflicts fought under or around the provisions of the Hague Conventions. This work on the Rules of Land Warfare had been prepared for the use of officers of the land forces of the United States. It had been found essential to make many additions to the texts of the Hague and Geneva conventions since these do not deal exhaustively with their subject matter. The text of the manual which is for the guidance of officers of our Army is the official translation of the French as ratified by the United States Senate. Especial use was made of The Rules of Land Warfare prepared by officers of the English Army and Prof. Nagao Ariga's book "La Guerre Russo-Japonaise" which dealt so carefully and thoroughly with the laws and uses of war during one of the greatest wars in the period just prior to the First World War.

This represents the state of knowledge and the state of practice after the United States Army had been 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. 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. In 1925 Berry was elected New York City Comptroller. He served from 1926 to 1933. United States Infantry Association paperback‎

‎Washington DC: Government Printing Office 1917. presumed First Edition First printing thus. Hardcover. Fair. 235 1 pages. Illustrations. Diagrams. Music. Appendix. War Department Document No. 438 Office of the Surgeon General. Covers and spine have edge damage Name in ink on bottom edge and ink notation related to Camp Devens on fep. The following system of Drill Regulations and Service manual for Sanitary Troops United States Army was approved and published for the information and government of the Regular Army and the Organized Militia of the United States. All sanitary exercises and maneuvers not embraced in this system were prohibited. The story of the U.S. Army Medical Service Corps is evolutionary. Precursors such as Revolutionary War apothecaries and officers of the Civil War Ambulance Corps evolved into the World War I Sanitary Corps which was established on June 30 1917 as a temporary part of the Medical Department based on authority provided by an 18 May 1917 Act of Congress. This corps which rapidly expanded to nearly 3000 officers during the War enabled the relief of physicians from a variety of administrative technical and scientific duties. The Sanitary Corps was demobilized following the war. Camp Devens was established on September 5 1917 as a temporary cantonment for training soldiers during World War I. It was a reception center for war selectees and became a demobilization center after the war. Upon assuming office in January 1914 Surgeon General William C. Gorgas initiated planning for what he believed would be the eventual U.S. participation in the war. His experiences in Cuba and Panama led him to support the establishment of a corps to provide the administrative and scientific specialists necessary for the military medical team. By spring 1916 Gorgas regularly testified before Congress interspersing his testimony with excerpts from the proceedings of the French Chamber of Deputies on military medical lessons the French had learned. He noted the difficulty created by an insufficient number of military physicians and the burdening of that group with administrative responsibilities "which hamper and delay them in the performance of their regular tasks." Gorgas described steps the French had taken to remove those responsibilities from military physicians to the extent that in the first year of the war the French medical department had nearly twenty-five hundred administrative officers and twenty-five hundred apothecaries. Establishment of such a corps in the U.S. Army had to wait until entry of the United States into the war. Then General Gorgas' ability to put together an expanded medical support team for the Army was greatly advanced by War Department General Orders No. 80 30 June 1917 which created an important precursor of the Medical Service Corps. Called the Sanitary Corps "for want of a better name" the organization enrolled newly commissioned officers with "special skills in sanitation sanitary engineering in bacteriology or other sciences related to sanitation and preventive medicine or who possess other knowledge of special advantage to the Medical Department." The officer strength was set at a maximum of 1 per 1000 total Army active duty strength and the grades were initially capped at major. The order also provided for 3905 enlisted personnel in grades from private to hospital sergeant. Just as the USAAS provided the Medical Department with nonphysician commissioned specialists for the benefit of the French and Italian armies the Sanitary Corps did the same for the U.S. Army. This corps gave the department the capability to capitalize on new technology in a rich diversity of units with missions ranging from surgical instrument repair to cinematography. Maj. Gen. Merritte W. Ireland Gorgas' successor as surgeon general wrote that the corps "assisted notably" in the Medical Department's wartime performance. In fact the principal Medical Department wartime accomplishments cited in an account authorized by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker were those made possible by Sanitary Corps officers.
