Washington DC: United States Army c1975. Presumed First Edition First issuance thus. Clears plastic/vinyl sheet with printing on one side only. Fair. Overall dimensions: 40 inches long by 23½ inches wide. RARE surviving copy of this map overlay. This has been folded and refolded. There has been some transfer of printing to otherwise clear portions of the plastic sheet. Information is presented in red purple orange yellow blue and black colors. Scale is 1:250000 kilometers and 1 to 50000 kilometers. Show yields of 2kt 5kt 30kt 100kt 300kt and 1MT. On the right side is a yield scale for 150kt to 1 MT. To its left is another scale in KM from 4 to 1000 with a designation of DWD at the top. Further to its left is a smaller scale in KM from 8 to 160 with the designation of EWS at the top. The ABC-M5A2 radiological fallout predictor is a transparent device used to outline the zones of hazard resulting from surface bursts for preselected yield groups. The ABC-M5A2 fallout predictor is composed of two simplified predictors and a nomogram for determining the downwind distance of Zone I. One simplified predictor is drawn to a scale of 1: 50000; the other predictor is drawn to a scale of 1: 250000. This predictor contains six preselected yield groups A B C D E and F. All you need to know to use this is: Wind speed and direction location of ground zero and actual or estimated with your ABC-M4A1 yield of the nuclear weapon. This overlay is used for surface or low air burst weapons. Nuclear fallout is the residual radioactive material propelled into the upper atmosphere following a nuclear blast so called because it "falls out" of the sky after the explosion and the shock wave has passed. It commonly refers to the radioactive dust and ash created when a nuclear weapon explodes. The amount and spread of fallout is a product of the size of the weapon and the altitude at which it is detonated. Fallout may get entrained with the products of a pyrocumulus cloud and fall as black rain rain darkened by soot and other particulates which fell within 30-40 minutes of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This radioactive dust usually consisting of fission products mixed with bystanding atoms that are neutron-activated by exposure is a form of radioactive contamination. Fallout comes in two varieties. The first is a small amount of carcinogenic material with a long half-life. The second depending on the height of detonation is a large quantity of radioactive dust and sand with a short half-life. All nuclear explosions produce fission products un-fissioned nuclear material and weapon residues vaporized by the heat of the fireball. These materials are limited to the original mass of the device but include radioisotopes with long lives. When the nuclear fireball does not reach the ground this is the only fallout produced. Its amount can be estimated from the fission-fusion design and yield of the weapon. United States Army unknown

Front cover is separated but present. Cover has wear and soiling. Cold War era item. At its basic level a formulary is a list of medicines. Traditionally a formulary contained a collection of formulas for the compounding and testing of medication a resource closer to what would be referred to as a pharmacopoeia today. Today the main function of a prescription formulary is to specify particular medications that are approved to be prescribed at a particular hospital in a particular health system or under a particular health insurance policy. The development of prescription formularies is based on evaluations of efficacy safety and cost-effectiveness of drugs. Depending on the individual formulary it may also contain additional clinical information such as side effects contraindications and doses. By the turn of the millennium 156 countries had national or provincial essential medicines lists and 135 countries had national treatment guidelines and/or formulary manuals. This technical manual uses portions of the text of The United States Pharmacopeia Fifthteenth Revision official December 15 1955 portions of The National Formulary Tenth Edition with permission quotations from New and Nonofficial Drugs and other texts with permission. This is an important snapshot in time reflecting the state of knowledge and the state of practice in the U.S. Army during an early period in the Cold War. The Army Medical Department of the U.S. Army - known as the AMEDD; formerly named the Army Medical Service AMS - comprises the Army's six medical Special Branches or "Corps" of officers and its enlisted medical soldiers. It was established as the "Army Hospital" in July 1775 to coordinate the medical care required by the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. The AMEDD is led by the Surgeon General of the U.S. Army a lieutenant general. The AMEDD is the U.S. Army's healthcare organization not a U.S. Army command. It is found in all three branches of the Army: the Active Army the U.S. Army Reserve and the Army National Guard. Its headquarters is at Fort Sam Houston San Antonio Texas which hosts the AMEDD Center and School AMEDDC&S. Large numbers of AMEDD senior leaders can also be found in the Washington D.C. area divided between the Pentagon and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center WRNMMC. The Academy of Health Sciences within the AMEDDC&S provides training to the officers and enlisted service members of the AMEDD. As a result of BRAC 2005 enlisted medical training was transferred to the new Medical Education and Training Campus consolidating the majority of military-enlisted medical training in Fort Sam Houston.
