‎History of Military Mobilization in the United States Army 1775-1945; CMH Pub 104-10‎

‎Washington DC: United States Army Center of Military History 1989. Facsimile edition. Trade paperback. Good. xvi 2 741 1 pages. Footnotes. Charts some folding. Tables. Index. This publication replaces DA Pam 20-212 November 1955. Names of two previous owners in ink on title page. This study is essentially a treatment of the manpower aspects of military mobilization. Mobilization is the assembling and organizing of troops materiel and equipment for active military service in time of war or other national emergency; it is the basic factor on which depends the successful prosecution of any war. The purpose of this study is to provide staff officers students at Army schools and other interested persons with usable and detailed information on the procedures of past mobilizations and the lessons learned. The footnotes will guide anyone who wishes to make a more complete study of individual phases of the subject matter. Its primary objective is to provide a more comprehensive record of military mobilizations in the United States for the use of General Staff officers and students in the Army school system than has been available before in a single work. It was hoped that this study would assist mobilization planners of the future. The material was also expected to assist the thoughtful civilian in understanding some of the basic problems of national security. Mobilization is the act of assembling and readying military troops and supplies for war. The word mobilization was first used in a military context in the 1850s to describe the preparation of the Prussian Army.1 Mobilization theories and tactics have continuously changed since then. The opposite of mobilization is demobilization. Mobilization became an issue with the introduction of conscription and the introduction of the railways in the 19th century. Mobilization institutionalized the mass levy of conscripts that was first introduced during the French Revolution. A number of technological and societal changes promoted the move towards a more organized way of deployment. These included the telegraph to provide rapid communication the railways to provide rapid movement and concentration of troops and conscription to provide a trained reserve of soldiers in case of war. Intricate plans for mobilization contributed greatly to the beginning of World War I since in 1914 under the laws and customs of warfare then observed not to mention the desire to avoid compromising national security general mobilization of one nation's military forces was invariably considered an act of war by that country's likely enemies. On April 6 1917 the United States entered the war on the Allied side. At the entrance the U.S. only could mobilize its army of 107641 soldiers ranked only seventeenth in size worldwide at the time. The United States Navy quickly mobilized adding 5 dreadnoughts to the Allied navy. However conscription quickly ensued. By March 1918 318000 U.S. soldiers had been mobilized to France. Eventually by October 1918 a force of 2 million U.S. soldiers joined in the war effort. United States Army, Center of Military History paperback‎

This captures the state-of-practice the state-of-knowledge and the state-of-the-art during the later phases of the Second World War and has been informed by the experiences of United States Army and other military land forces engaged in vigorous combat in varied geographic locations and diverse conditions. The drill prescribed herein was designed for general use and could be adapted to any type of units. Stress should be place on precision in execution of the manual of arms and in marching in step with proper alinement. Nothing inspires the military spirit more than to see or to be a part of a compact group moving in unison confidently and to a measured cadence. The purposes of the drill to enable the commander to move his command in an orderly manner to aid in disciplinary training to enhance the morale through ceremonies and to give junior officers and noncommissioned officers practice in commanding troops. Foot drill is a part of the training regimen of organized military and paramilitary elements worldwide. "Foot drill" or "Drill" stems from time since antiquity when soldiers would march into battle be expected to gather in a formation and react to words of command from their commanders once the battle commenced. Much of the drill done today is either ceremonial or implemented as a core part of training in the armed forces. Military discipline is enhanced by drill as it requires instant obedience to commands and synchronized completion of said commands with the others in the unit. Drill proved useful when marching formations of soldiers cross-country. For example officers could form men from an eight-wide route march formation to a two-wide formation for passing through gates and other narrow passages without losing time or cohesion. Drill was used to efficiently maneuver formations around and through obstacles. Drill was often used as a forerunner to great battles; during them it justified itself. It was also utilized after battles where quick restoration of the corporate unity of an element was required. United States military drill originated in 1778 as part of a training program implemented by Baron Friedrich von Steuben to improve the discipline and organization of soldiers serving in the Continental Army. The following year Baron von Steuben by then a Major General and the Inspector General of the Continental Army wrote the Army's first field manual "The Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States" which has come to be more commonly known as the "Blue Book". The methods of drill that von Steuben initiated remained largely unchanged between their inception and the time of the American Civil War. One major change to come about since that time is that troops now march at a cadence of 120 steps per minute instead of the original 76 steps per minute at the time of the American Revolution. The stated aim of drill is to "enable a commander or noncommissioned officer to move his unit from one place to another in an orderly manner; to aid in disciplinary training by instilling habits of precision and response to the leader's orders; and to provide for the development of all soldiers in the practice of commanding troops." Between branches of the military as well as between the military forces of various countries the methods of drill will vary. In the United States Armed Forces the basis of drill procedures can be traced to von Steuben's "Blue Book". Drill is most commonly seen at ceremonial and public functions and has evolved into something of an art-form. Many nations have dedicated Drill Teams. The Military Service Publishing Co hardcover‎

Stapled at center of top edge. Various paginations approximately 330 pages. Illustrations. Name and phone number written inside the front cover. This is a small manual designed to be carried in the pocket of a Ranger candidate during training. It contains a wealth of information on demolitions boobytraps first aid rappelling combat intelligence survival weapons counter-guerilla tactics and over 32 important subjects. Includes a Glossary and well as chapters on Leadership Combat Orders Coordination Checklists Departure and Reentry of Forward Units Actions at the Objective Patrol Bases Linkup Operations Communications First Support Army Aviation Movement Reconnaissance Demolitions and Mines Stream Crossing and Waterborne Operations Military Mountaineering Evasion/Survival Combat Intelligence First Aid and References. The last page is The Ranger's Creed. Rangers were organized in 1756 by Major Robert Rogers a native of New Hampshire who recruited nine companies of American colonists to fight for the British during the French and Indian War. Ranger techniques and methods were an inherent characteristic of the frontiersmen in the colonies but Major Rogers was the first to capitalize on them and incorporate them into a permanently organized fighting force. His "Standing Orders" were written in the year 1759. Even though they are over 200 years old they apply just as well to Ranger operations conducted on today's battlefield as they did to the operations conducted by Rogers and his men. The 75th Ranger Regiment is a lethal agile and flexible force capable of conducting many complex joint special operations missions. Today's Ranger regiment is the Army's premier direct-action raid force. Each of the four geographically dispersed Ranger battalions is always combat ready mentally and physically tough and prepared to fight our country's adversaries. Their capabilities include conducting airborne and air assault operations seizing key terrain such as airfields destroying strategic facilities and capturing or killing enemies of the nation. Rangers are capable of conducting squad through regimental-size operations and are resourced to maintain exceptional proficiency experience and readiness. The regiment remains an all-volunteer force with an intensive screening and selection process followed by combat-focused training. The 75th Ranger Regiment is a proud unit and a team of teams - serving the nation. Ranger School is one of the toughest training courses for which a Soldier can volunteer. Army Rangers are experts in leading Soldiers on difficult missions - and to do this they need rigorous training. For more than two months Ranger students train to exhaustion pushing the limits of their minds and bodies. The purpose of the Army's Ranger course is to prepare these Army volunteers - both officers and enlisted Soldiers - in combat arms related functional skills. The Rangers' primary mission is to engage in close combat and direct-fire battles. The Ranger Course was conceived during the Korean War and was known as the Ranger Training Command. The Ranger Training Command was inactivated and became the Ranger Department a branch of the Infantry School at Fort Benning Ga. Oct. 10 1951. Its purpose was and still is to develop combat skills of selected officers and enlisted men. This requires them to perform effectively as small-unit leaders in a realistic tactical environment and under mental and physical stress; approaches that are found in actual combat. Emphasis is placed on the development of individual combat skills and abilities through the application of the principles of leadership while further developing military skills in the planning and conduct of dismounted infantry airborne airmobile amphibious independent squad and platoon-size operations. Graduates return to their units to pass on these skills. United States Army Infantry School, Ranger Training Brigade unknown‎

‎MARKER SET CONTAMINATION: NBC‎

‎Germany: Manufacturer GereckeLauer GmbH 1986. Military Equipment. Good. Sturdy piece of US Army combat equipment dispenses plastic placards permitting the marking of contaminated areas: radiological biological and chemical. A sticker on the piece dates it from March 1986 manufactured in Germany. This equipment show some wear scratches soiling etc. This marking set provides the necessary equipment to mark contaminated areas as defined by FM 3-3. Chemical biological radiological and nuclear defense CBRN defense or CBRNE defense are protective measures taken in situations in which chemical biological radiological or nuclear warfare including terrorism hazards may be present. CBRN defense consists of CBRN passive protection contamination avoidance and CBRN mitigation. A CBRN incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both scope i.e. CBRN can be a mass casualty situation and intent. CBRN incidents are responded to under the assumption that they are intentional and malicious; evidence preservation and perpetrator apprehension are of greater concern than with HAZMAT incidents. Signs used for marking contaminated areas are standard throughout NATO in color shape and size. A contamination marking set is available for use by U.S. and NATO forces. Container holds 20 marking flags: 20 white flags for marking nuclear contamination 20 blue flags for marking biological contamination and 20 yellow flags for marking chemical contamination. There is a carrying container/straps that can be adjusted for front or back wear. This equipment is indicative of post-Vietnam pre-Gulf War tools for the NBC mission. MARKING PURPOSES ; Marking a CBRN-contaminated area warns U.S. and allied forces of contamination threats/hazards but the signs must be placed where they are most likely to be seen. Without visible markings unprotected military personnel may enter into a contaminated area and become casualties.<br/>CBRN reconnaissance is conducted to detect contamination:<br/> Before forces must move into or through or occupy an area of unknown CBRN contamination.<br/> When boundaries of a known contaminated area must be identified and marked.<br/> When at the time of survey identification of a route or other key terrain as uncontaminated is required.<br/>Once a CBRN R&S element surveys an area and CBRN contamination is located the area is marked using CBRN marking signs and a CBRN report is submitted to the requesting headquarters. Marking a contaminated area or equipment designates a hazard. A more detailed reconnaissance survey determines the extent and intensity of the contamination. Markings warn individuals and forces visually identify routes through or around contaminated areas to maximize operational maneuverability and identify equipment that is hazardous to military personnel.<br/>Marking of a contaminated area bypasses and surveyed uncontaminated key terrain is accomplished in two ways:<br/> Hasty. Action taken as soon as possible following the identification of contaminated terrain to<br/>mark the area with the intent of avoiding an unwarned encounter with the hazard.<br/> Deliberate. Actions taken to improve hasty marking adding additional markers increasing<br/>visibility and adding control measures when time and other resources permit. Manufacturer Gerecke+Lauer GmbH unknown‎

Illustrations Tables Figures. Formulae. Glossary. Bibliography. Upper right corner has damp stains; all pages complete and separate.

The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance to engineers engaged in designing facilities that are required to resist nuclear weapon effects. It has been written for systems structural mechanical electrical and test engineers possessing state-of-the-art expertise in their respective disciplines but having little knowledge of nuclear weapon effects on facilities. While it is applicable as general design guidelines to all Corps of Engineers specialists who participate in designing permanent military facilities it has been written and organized on the assumption a systems-engineering group will coordinate design of the facilities. The effects of a nuclear explosion on its immediate vicinity are typically much more destructive and multifaceted than those caused by conventional explosives. In most cases the energy released from a nuclear weapon detonated within the lower atmosphere can be approximately divided into four basic categories:<br/> <br/> the blast itself: 40-50% of total energy<br/> thermal radiation: 30-50% of total energy<br/> ionizing radiation: 5% of total energy more in a neutron bomb<br/> residual radiation: 5-10% of total energy with the mass of the explosion.<br/> Depending on the design of the weapon and the location in which it is detonated the energy distributed to any one of these categories may be significantly higher or lower. The physical blast effect is created by the coupling of immense amounts of energy spanning the electromagnetic spectrum with the surroundings. The environment of the explosion e.g. submarine ground burst air burst or exo-atmospheric determines how much energy is distributed to the blast and how much to radiation. In general surrounding a bomb with denser media such as water absorbs more energy and creates more powerful shockwaves while at the same time limiting the area of its effect. When a nuclear weapon is surrounded only by air lethal blast and thermal effects proportionally scale much more rapidly than lethal radiation effects as explosive yield increases. This bubble is faster than the speed of sound. The physical damage mechanisms of a nuclear weapon blast and thermal radiation are identical to those of conventional explosives but the energy produced by a nuclear explosion is usually millions of times more powerful per unit mass and temperatures may briefly reach the tens of millions of degrees.<br/> <br/> Energy from a nuclear explosion is initially released in several forms of penetrating radiation. When there is surrounding material such as air rock or water this radiation interacts with and rapidly heats the material to an equilibrium temperature i.e. so that the matter is at the same temperature as the fuel powering the explosion. This causes vaporization of the surrounding material resulting in its rapid expansion. Kinetic energy created by this expansion contributes to the formation of a shockwave which expands spherically from the center. Intense thermal radiation at the hypocenter forms a nuclear fireball which if the explosion is low enough in altitude is often associated with a mushroom cloud. In a high-altitude burst where the density of the atmosphere is low more energy is released as ionizing gamma radiation and X-rays than as an atmosphere-displacing shockwave.<br/> <br/> In 1942 there was some initial speculation among the scientists developing the first nuclear weapons in the Manhattan Project that a large enough nuclear explosion might ignite the Earth's atmosphere. This notion concerned the nuclear reaction of two atmospheric nitrogen atoms forming carbon and an oxygen atom with an associated release of energy. The scientists hypothesized that this energy would heat up the remaining atmospheric nitrogen enough to keep the reaction going until all nitrogen atoms were consumed thereby burning all of the Earth's atmosphere which is composed of nearly 80% diatomic nitrogen in one single massive combustion event. Hans Bethe was assigned the task of studying this hypothesis from the project's earliest days and eventually concluded that combustion of the entire atmosphere was not possible: the cooling of the fireball due to an inverse Compton effect all but guaranteed that such a scenario would not become a reality. Richard Hamming a mathematician was asked to make a similar calculation just before the first nuclear test with the same result. Nevertheless the notion has persisted as a rumor for many years and was the source of apocalyptic gallows humor at the Trinity test. United States, Department of the Army, Headquarters paperback‎

The Reserve Officers' Training Corps ROTC is a group of college- and university-based officer training programs for training commissioned officers of the United States Armed Forces. In 1915 Major General Leonard Wood instituted the Citizen's Military Training Corps the first series of training camps to make officers out of civilians. For the first time in history an attempt was made to provide a condensed course of training and commissioning competent reserve line officers after only a summer of military training. Over 5000 men arrived at Plattsburgh in May 1917 for the first of the large training corps. By the end of 1917 over 17000 men had been trained. By the eve of its entry into World War One the U.S. had a prepared corps of officers including one of the earliest Plattsburgh graduates Theodore Roosevelt Jr. The Army Reserve Officer Training Corps AROTC program is the largest branch of ROTC as the Army is the largest branch of the military. A crew-served weapon is any weapon system that is issued to a crew of two or more individuals performing the same or separate tasks to run at maximum operational efficiency as opposed to an individual-service weapon which only requires one person to run at maximum operational efficiently. The weight and bulk of the system often also necessitates multiple personnel for transportation. Crew-served weapons operated by infantry include sniper rifles anti-materiel rifles machine guns automatic grenade launchers mortars anti-tank guns anti-aircraft guns recoilless rifles shoulder-launched missile weapons and static anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.

Under the heading Special Considerations it states that "b. All operations involving nuclear warheads will be performed in strict compliance with Department of Defense approved peacetime safety rules as promulgated in TM 9-1100-212-12. c. If nuclear units are to be airdropped tape container with weapon arming device and warhead section logbook to the rocket motor. ." The MGR-3 Little John was a free flight artillery rocket system designed and put into service by the U.S. Army during the 1950s and 1960s. Carried on the XM34 rocket launcher it could carry either nuclear or conventional warheads. It was primarily intended for use in airborne assault operations and to complement the heavier self-propelled MGR-1 Honest John rocket. Development of the missile was started at Army's Rocket and Guided Missile Agency laboratory at Huntsville Alabama the Redstone Arsenal in June 1955. In June 1956 the first launch of the XM47 Little John occurred. This initial model was spin-stabilized by larger triangular fins and a longer launch rail. It was stabilized by the fins alone until it began to spin. The production XM51 version had smaller rectangular fins too small to stabilize the rocket and was stabilized from launch by a unique "spin-on-straight-rail" system. The XM51 Little John was delivered to the field in November 1961 and remained in the regular Army's weapons inventory until August 1969. It was a spin-stabilized field artillery rocket that followed a ballistic trajectory to ground targets. The rocket XM51 consisted of a warhead a rocket motor assembly and an igniter assembly. The components were shipped in separate containers with the warhead and motor assembled before issue and the igniter inserted immediately before use. The Little John differs from the Honest John in not only its size but how it is stabilized in flight. The flight of the Honest John is stabilized by a spin that is imparted to the rocket by spin rockets after the round leaves the launcher. The XM51 Little John rocket flight is stabilized by applying spin to the rocket while on the launcher just before firing. This manual method of stabilization was called "spin-on-straight-rail" SOSR. A hand-wound mechanical clock spring on the launcher rotates the missile through gears when the firing lanyard is pulled. Once the rocket is rotating at 3½ rev. per second inertial switches connect the thermal batteries to the rocket motor's igniter. In flight the spin is maintained by canted fins. The system was manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company. The missile and launcher system were light enough to be easily transported by helicopters and other aircraft or towed by a vehicle. The Phase II Little John weapon system was initially deployed with the 1st Missile Battalion 57th Field Artillery in Okinawa Japan. The missile was retired beginning in July 1967 with the final missile removed from inventory in 1970. Five hundred missiles were produced during the life of the weapon program.

‎Washington DC: Departments of the Army and the Navy 1968. Reprint which includes current pages from Change 1. Wraps. Good. Three-hole punched and stapled at left side. Various paginations approximately 160 pages. Figures. Tables. References. Glossary. Index. Figures D and E and present in an envelop inside the back cover. Figure D is a Circular Map Scale with a scale of 1:50000 and the numbers are in hundreds of meters. Figure E is a Circular Map Scale with a scale of 1:100000 and the numbers are in hundreds of meters. This manual supersedes FM 101-31-1 1 February 1963 including all changes. This manual provides guidance to commanders and staff officers in the operational and logistical aspects of nuclear weapon employment in combat operations. The doctrine presented in this manual is basically concerned with nuclear weapon employment within the field army and the Fleet Marine Force. When the manual discusses special ammunition logistics and vulnerability analyses the scope is extended to include the area of operations. Guidance is presented for the employment of nuclear weapons in the attack of targets on or near the earth's surface. The doctrine in this manual is based on the following basic concepts: a. The U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps are organized equipped and trained to fight in nuclear warfare nonnuclear warfare or under the threat of nuclear warfare. In the latter case units are prepared to take the actions indicated in this manual should nuclear warfare begin. b. Nuclear weapons may be employed within the area of operations when the theater commander announces that their use has been authorized. c. Once nuclear warfare has commenced the authority to employ nuclear weapons is decentralized. d. United States nuclear weapons may be employed in support of Allied forces using either United States or Allied delivery means. The nuclear warhead section to include artillery projectiles remains under the control of United States military personnel until time of launching or firing. e. A commander who plans to employ a nuclear weapon coordinates with any adjacent unit commander into whose zone or sector militarily significant weapon effects are expected to extend. Lacking concurrence the commander requests authority to fire from the next higher commander who controls both sectors. f. Nuclear firepower is a form of combat power. Nuclear weapons may on occasion be used alone to accomplish tasks that might otherwise require the maneuver of close combat units; however most tasks require a combination of fire and maneuver. Plans for the employment of nuclear firepower nonnuclear firepower and maneuver forces are integrated to provide decisive results. g. Nuclear weapons are employed to destroy or degrade enemy combat capabilities. Consistent with the requirements imposed by the tactical mission casualties among civilian personnel are held to a minimum. Destruction of manmade structures or natural terrain features tree blowdown or fire areas and creation of high-intensity residual contamination areas may create undesired obstacles to movement. Consistent with military objectives unnecessary destruction and contamination should be held to a minimum. h. Commanders employ the smallest and most readily available weapon with a sufficiently high probability of providing the coverage that insures the desired results. i. Commanders employ surface bursts when surface bursts accomplish the results desired more effectively than do Airbursts. j. Commanders conduct poststrike analysis as required.

Format is approximately 6.5 inches by 9.5 inches. iii 1 166 pages. Figures. Tables. References. Shipping Data. Cover has some wear and soiling. The text discusses the impact of tactical and logistical operations upon the world-wide distribution of special ammunition and other components of Army missile weapon systems. It describes the distribution sequence defines the control exercised over the distribution system and identifies the responsibilities of logistic agencies. the text also describes the transportation requirement transportation service responsibilities and the capabilities and limitations of the several modes of transportation. The text includes a discussion of the characteristics of special ammunition and transportability data applicable to all components of army missile weapon systems. The Special Text discusses: Distribution with CONUS Distribution within Oversea Commands The Transportation Environment and Transportation System Characteristics. Appendix I is References. Appendix II is the Safe Handling of explosives and other dangerous articles and protection of classified shipments. Appendix III is Characteristics and Properties of Propellants. Appendix IV is Army Missile Systems Component Shipping Data and this includes sections on Hawk Nike-Ajax Nike-Hercules Little John LaCrosse Sergeant Honest John Corporal Pershing Redstone SS-10 SS-11 Redeye Mauler Shillelagh Nike-Zeus Davy Crockett and a Quick reference complete round loading and shipping guide. On 31 July 1942 the Department of War recognized the need for a single manager of Army transportation and created a new branch the Transportation Corps. Since the Revolutionary War Army transportation had evolved through two branches the Quartermaster Corps and the Corps of Engineers. The demands of World War I made the Army first realize its need for a single manager for military transportation. So began an evolution over the next quarter century that culminated in the birth of the Transportation Corps during the opening months of World War II.<br /> <br /> The War Department directed the Quartermaster Corps to transfer the functions and responsibilities of truck and aviation units to the Transportation Corps by General Orders No. 77 on 24 July 1946. The same year the Transportation School consolidated all training except for drivers at Fort Eustis Virginia because of its intermodal rail and sea capability. In 1950 the Army turned over its deep-draft ships to the Military Sealift Command so the Army no longer had the largest navy in the United States military.<br /> <br /> That same year Brigadier General William B. Bunker convinced the Chief of Transportation Major General Frank S. Besson Jr. of the importance of helicopters in logistics. As a result in May the Army approved the organization of five helicopter companies with the first the 6th Transportation Company Helicopter activated in July 1952.<br /> <br /> In 1954 the Engineer Corps turned its landing craft over to the Transportation Corps making the Transportation Corps responsible for all modes of Army transportation. Coincidentally the Navy lifted the size limit on Army watercraft allowing the Army to build landing craft utility LCUs. This led the Transportation Corps to activate the 159th Boat Battalion.<br /> <br /> The Soviet threat against Europe provided the peacetime Army an enemy to plan against. In anticipation of the needs of the Army the Chief of Transportation directed and championed the development of military transportation. Contingency planners assumed the worst-case scenario in which the Soviet Union would use its bombers or worse yet its nuclear arsenal to destroy the fixed ports in France thus severing the vital lines of communication at their European end. This contingency required the Army to rely heavily on over-the-beach operations.<br /> <br /> The Transportation Corps is a Force Sustainment branch of the U.S. Army headquartered is now at Fort Lee Virginia and is responsible for the movement of personnel and matériel by truck rail air and sea. The Transportation Corps provides a full spectrum of transportation capabilities at the tactical operational and strategic levels of war. The Transportation School trains Soldiers to operate and maintain Army tactical trucks material handling equipment and watercraft. The school trains Transportation Operations Traffic Management Convoy Operations Cargo Transfer Cargo Documentation Movement Control Operation of Heavy Material Handling Equipment Sailing and Maintenance of Army Vessels and Unloading Aircraft Ships Railcars and Trucks.

‎Radiation Injury Following an A-Bomb Explosion‎

‎Washington DC: Armed Forces Institute of Pathology June 1951. Reprinted from the Annals of Internal Medicine Vol. 36 No. 6 June 1952. Wraps. Good. Format is approximately 6.75 inches by 10 inches. Pages 1444-1458 1 pages. Stamp and Ink notations on first page. This was presented at the Thirty-second Annual Session of the American College of Physicians St. Louis Mo. April 10 1951. Topics covered include Thermal Radiation Effects and Nuclear Radiation Effects. This document includes footnotes 11 black and white photographs a summary and a bibliography. On the day of the bombing the outstanding symptoms of the Japanese exposed to radiation were nausea and vomiting followed soon by fever leukopenia and diarrhea. Epilation purpura and oropharyngeal lesions appears about two weeks after exposure. Epilation was the surest external sign of exposure to ionizing radiation. This work reported that blast injuries and burns accounted for approximately 85 per cent of the casualties from an atomic bomb explosion high in the air. Studies in Japan indicated that 90 per cent of all persons who needed medical care in the first week had burns and that 60 to 85 per cent of all patients were burned. The ionizing radiation from an explosion of the Hiroshima or Nagasaki type is delivered in about 90 seconds and 50 per cent of the total is delivered in the first second. Clinically significant amounts of radioactivity are not left in the target area following detonations of this type. Because ionizing radiation injuries are unique effects of the atomic bomb these phenomena sometimes provoke emphasis out of proportion to the actual danger and thus create new psychologic hazards.

Various paginations approximately 400 pages. Illustrations. Appendixes on training information a conversion chart and tactical vehicle identification gaming device. Glossary. References. Index. When issues the distribution was restricted for official Government use only. Given the passage of time and the introduction of information into the public domain this restriction is understood to no longer apply. Book has small creases to a few text pages. Cover is somewhat worn and soiled. The purpose of this manual is to familiarize aircrews with modern combat equipment provide a reference for aircrew field use and provide a guide for commanders conducting unit training in equipment recognition. The equipment shown in this manual is grouped by type: rotary-wing aircraft fixed-wing aircraft antiaircraft guns surface-to-air missiles armor artillery light armored vehicles and miscellaneous equipment. This manual provides information on current operational combat vehicle guns and aircraft of the United States allied western powers and threat countries which reasonable can be expected to be observed from the air during hostilities. Included in this manual are the best photographs available at writing time. The tactical vehicle identification gaming device depicted in Appendix C can be used as an instructional tool for increasing knowledge of combat equipment and for proficiency testing. The device also may be effectively used in class instruction or for self-testing. Aircraft recognition is a visual skill taught to military personnel and civilian auxiliaries since the introduction of military aircraft in World War I. It is important for air defense and military intelligence gathering. Aircraft recognition generally depends on learning the external appearance of the aircraft both friendly and hostile most likely to be encountered. Techniques used to teach this information have included scale models printed silhouette charts slide projectors computer aided instruction and even specially-printed playing cards. In the United Kingdom The Royal Observer Corps ROC was formed as a defence warning organization with civilians trained in aircraft recognition and operated primarily as such between 1925 and 1957. Aircraft recognition was first developed between the First and Second World wars when aerial warfare was first recognized as a future threat after 208 Zeppelin and 435 aircraft raids over London during the First World War. In 1917 Germany had started using fixed-wing bombers and the number of airship raids diminished rapidly. To answer this new threat Major General Edward Bailey Ashmore a First World War pilot who had later been in command of an artillery division in Belgium was appointed to devise improved systems of detection communication and control. The Metropolitan Observation Service was created covering the London area known as the London Air Defence Area and was soon extended to the coasts of Kent and Essex. This led to the establishment of the Observer Corps in 1925. In September 1942 the government recognized the usefulness and effectiveness of the systems developed by volunteer observers and first published Aircraft Recognition The Inter-services Recognition Journal. With official recognition by HQ Royal Observer Corps and the Air Ministry that accurate recognition of aircraft was achievable the systems developed by the volunteers were adopted as official training. In the US during World War II civilians were enlisted into a Ground Observer Corps to support air defense operations receiving training in aircraft identification. The US military continues to use "WEFT" as a mnemonic for the major features of an aircraft: Wings or rotors to provide lift Engines to provide power a Fuselage to carry the payload and pilot and a Tail assembly which controls the direction of flight. These elements differ in shape size number and position. The differences distinguish one aircraft type from another. The individual components can be taught as separate recognition and identification features but it is the composite of these features that must be learned to recognize and identify an aircraft.

This Technical Bulletin describes the colors and patterns to be used for the camouflage of ARMCOM equipment which require camouflage pattern painting and provides a uniform system of marking such equipment. Additional camouflage patterns will be added as new equipment is developed. Nuclear weapons and ammunition Class V are not included in this bulletin. Military camouflage is the use of camouflage by a armed force to protect personnel and equipment from observation by enemy forces. In practice this means applying colour and materials to military equipment of all kinds including vehicles ships aircraft gun positions and battledress either to conceal it from observation crypsis or to make it appear as something else mimicry. The French slang word camouflage came into common English usage during World War I when the concept of visual deception developed into an essential part of modern military tactics. In that war long-range artillery and observation from the air combined to expand the field of fire and camouflage was widely used to decrease the danger of being targeted or to enable surprise. As such military camouflage is a form of military deception. Camouflage for equipment and positions was extensively developed for military use by the French in 1915 soon followed by other World War I armies. In both world wars artists were recruited as camouflage officers. United States, Department of the Army, Headquarters paperback‎
