Shore Protection Manual
Fort Belvoir Va. : Washington: U.S. Army Coastal Engineering Research Center: for sale by the Supt. 1975. Second edition. Wraps. Good. Signed by previous owner. Three-hole punched. 3 volume set. 3 v. 27 cm. Illustrations. Various paginations Vol I. approx. 500 p; Vol II. approx. 550 p; and Vol III. 130 p. References. Selected Bibliography. Supersedes its Technical report no. 4 and the first edition: Shore protection planning and design. Includes bibliographies and index. From WIkipedia for Coastal Management: "In some jurisdictions the terms sea defense and coastal protection are used to mean respectively defense against flooding and erosion. The term coastal defence is the more traditional term but coastal management has become more popular as the field has expanded to include techniques that allow erosion to claim land.The coastal zone is a dynamic equilibrium area of natural change and of increasing human use. They occupy less than 15% of the Earth's land surface; yet accommodate more than 40% of the world population it is estimated that 3.1 billion people live within 200 kilometres from the sea. With three-quarters of the world population expected to reside in the coastal zone by 2025 human activities originating from this small land area will impose an inordinate amount of pressures on the global system. Coastal zones contain rich resources to produce goods and services and are home to most commercial and industrial activities. In the European Union almost half of the population now lives within 50 kilometres of the sea and coastal zone resources produce much of the Union's economic wealth. The fishing shipping and tourism industries all compete for vital space along Europe's estimated 89 000 kilometres of coastline and coastal zones contain some of Europe's most fragile and valuable natural habitats. Shore protection consists up to the 50's of interposing a static structure between the sea and the land to prevent erosion and or flooding and it has a long history. From that period new technical or friendly policies have been developed to preserve the environment when possible. Is already important where there are extensive low-lying areas that require protection. For instance: Venice New Orleans Nagara river in Japan the Netherlands Caspian Sea Protection against the sea level rise in the 21st century will be especially important as sea level rise is currently accelerating. This will be a challenge to coastal management since seawalls and breakwaters are generally expensive to construct and the costs to build protection in the face of sea-level rise would be enormous. Changes on sea level have a direct adaptative response from beaches and coastal systems as we can see in the succession of a lowering sea level. When the sea level rises coastal sediments are in part pushed up by wave and tide energy so sea-level rise processes have a component of sediment transport landwards. This results in a dynamic model of rise effects with a continuous sediment displacement that is not compatible with static models where coastline change is only based on topographic data." The U.S. Army Coastal Engineering Reserach Center CERC formerly the Beach Erosion Board has since 1930 conducted studies on shore processes and methods of shore protection. It is also involved in both shore protection and offshore engineering techniques. This SHore Protection Manual SPM incorporates new material and expands the coverage within the shore protection field. Volume I describes the physical environment in the coastal zone. Volume II addresses the interaction of the physical environment and the coastal structures and presents design parameters for use in the solution of coastal engineering problems. Volume II containcs four appendixes including a glossary of coastal engineering terms a list of symbols tables and plates and a subject index.

Errata slip present! Some illustrations have color. LIV plates. This reflects the state of the art knowledge and practice in the mid to late Victorian period. From Wikipedia: "Military engineering is loosely defined as the art and practice of designing and building military works and maintaining lines of military transport and communications. This discipline of engineering is regarded as the oldest form of engineering and is also the precursor of the civil engineering discipline. While both of these disciplines of engineering are responsible for building the same types of projects their environments differ. Military engineers construct and maintain facilities that serve military servicemen on war-fronts. Military engineers are also responsible for logistics behind military tactics. Modern military engineering requires more than civil engineering techniques. In the 21st Century military engineering also includes other engineering disciplines such as mechanical and electrical engineering techniques. According to NATO "Military Engineering is that engineer activity undertaken regardless of component or service to shape the physical operating environment. ' Military Engineering incorporates support to manoeuvre and to the force as a whole including military engineering functions such as engineer support to Force Protection Counter-Improvised Explosive Devices Environmental Protection Engineer Intelligence and Military Search. Military Engineering does not encompass the activities undertaken by those 'engineers' who maintain repair and operate vehicles vessels aircraft weapon systems and equipment." Majesty's hardcover

Research in CBR: Department of the Army Pamphlet No. 3-2: A Report of the Committee on Science and Astronautics The House of Representatives The Congress of the United States Eighty-Sixth Congress First Session No. 23 House Report No. 815
Washington DC: United States Department of Defense Dept. of the Army 1960. Wraps. Good. Cover has some wear and soiling. 2 40 2 p. Bibliography. This is a relatively early overview of Chemical Biological and Radiological research. It was produced by the army from a Congressional study/report. The report included recommendations and an input from the United States Army Chemical Corps. From Wikipedia: "Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Defense often abbreviated to CBRN defense or CBRND is protective measures taken in situations in which any of these four hazards are present. To account for improvised devices the term CBRNe e for explosives is used. CBRN defense consists of CBRN passive protection contamination avoidance and CBRN mitigation. CBRN weapons/agents are often referred to as weapons of mass destruction WMD. However this is not entirely correct. Although CBRNe agents often cause mass destruction this is not necessarily the case. Terrorist use of CBRNe agents may cause a limited number of casualties but a large terrorizing and disruption of society. Terrorist use of CBRNe agents intended to cause terror instead of mass casualties is therefore often referred to as weapons of mass disruption. A CBRN incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both effect scope i.e. CBRNe can be a mass casualty situation and in intent. CBRN incidents are responded to under the assumption that they are deliberate malicious acts with the intention to kill sicken and/or disrupt society. Evidence preservation and perpetrator apprehension are of greater concern with CBRN incidents than with HAZMAT incidents." United States, Department of Defense, Dept. of the Army paperback

United States. War Department. Quartermaster General of the Army
U.S. Army Uniforms and Equipment 1889: Specifications for Clothing Camp and Garrison Equipage and Clothing and Equipage Materials
Lincoln NE: University of Nebraska Press 1986. First Bison Book printing stated. First published in 1889. Trade paperback. Very good. ix 1 375 5 p. Illustrations. Index. Foreword by Jerome A. Greene a noted western military historian. This rare book contains not only complete specifications but detailed line drawings of virtually every item of uniform and equipment issued. It is a valuable reference for articles used during the 1870s and 1880s the period of the Indian wars. 'This book marked a milestone in the development of standards and specifications for clothing and equipment.by the War Department'-Jerome A. Greene. For much of the nineteenth century the production of military clothing and equipment was geared to national emergencies. During the Mexican and Civil wars the hardpressed Quartermaster Department was forced to rely on civilian and later European suppliers. A contract system too often resulted in profiteering inferior goods and administrative confusion. By 1887 reforms in the system were accompanied by strict specifications for material which were published by the War Department in 1889 and distributed to fewer than sixty officers in the Quartermaster Department. Never before reprinted this rare book contains not only complete specifications but detailed line drawings of virtually every item of uniform and equipment issued from mosquito bars and tent stoves to overalls for mounted men and uniform coat buttons 'the burnishing to be done in the best manner known to the trade'. This valuable reference for articles used by the army during the period of the Indian wars will be of special interest to collectors historians archaeologists curators and antique dealers.

Fort Dix Nuclear/Chemical Accident/Incident Control Plan FD-NCAICP
Fort Dix NJ: Headquarters US Army Training Center 1976. Wraps. Good. Pencil erasure residue on first page. Includes illustrations. Three-hole punched and staple bound. Various paginationsapproximately 150 pages. References. Thius plan was published for the information guidance and necessary action of commanders directors and office/activity chiefs concerns and supersedes the previous plan dated 1 February 1975. From Wikipedia: "Fort Dix the common name for the Dix unit of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is a United States Army base located approximately 16.1 miles 25.9 km south-southeast of Trenton New Jersey. Dix is under the jurisdiction of the United States Army Reserve Command USARC. Fort Dix established in 1917 was consolidated with two adjoining U.S. Air Force and Navy facilities to became part of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst JB MDL on 1 October 2009. However it remains commonly known as Fort Dix as of 2012.Fort Dix is named for Major General John Adams Dix a veteran of the War of 1812 and the Civil War. Construction began in June 1917. Camp Dix as it was known at the time was a training and staging ground for units during World War I. The camp became a demobilization center after the war. Between the World Wars Camp Dix was a reception training and discharge center for the Civilian Conservation Corps. Camp Dix became Fort Dix on March 8 1939 and the installation became a permanent Army post. During and after World War II the fort served the same purpose as in the first World War. It served as a training and staging ground during the war and a demobilization center after the war. On July 15 1947 Fort Dix became a Basic Training Center and the home of the 9th Infantry Division. In 1954 the 9th moved out and the 69th Infantry Division made the fort home until it was deactivated on March 16 1956. During the Vietnam War rapid expansion took place. A mock Vietnam village was constructed and soldiers received Vietnam-specific training before being deployed. Since Vietnam Fort Dix has sent soldiers to Operation Desert Shield Desert Storm Bosnia Afghanistan and Iraq. The Atlantic Strike Team AST of the U.S. Coast Guard is based at Fort Dix. As part of the Department of Homeland Security the AST is responsible for responding to oil pollution and hazardous materials release incidents to protect public health and the environment. Fort Dix is also home to Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution the largest single federal prison in America. It is a low security installation for male inmates located within the military installation. As of November 19 2009 it housed 4 310 inmates and a minimum-security satellite camp housed an additional 426. Inmates use plastic pouches of mackerel as commodity money. Knowing that Fort Dix was on a base closure list the U.S. Air Force attempted to save the U.S. Army post during 1987. The USAF moved the Security Police Air Base Ground Defence school from Camp Bullis Texas to Dix in the fall of 1987. It was eventually realized that it was not cost effective to put 50-100 S.P. trainees on a commercial flight from San Antonio Texas to Philadelphia Pennsylvania every couple of weeks so the school was later moved back to Camp Bullis Texas. Fort Dix was an early casualty of the first Base Realignment and Closure process in the early 1990s losing the basic-training mission that had introduced new recruits to military life since 1917. But Fort Dix advocates attracted Army Reserve interest in keeping the 31 000-acre 13 000 ha post as a training reservation. With the reserves and millions for improvements Fort Dix actually has grown again to employ 3 000. As many as 15 000 troops train there on weekends and the post has been a major mobilization point for reserve and National Guard troops since the September 11 2001 attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. Fort Dix has completed its realignment from an individual training center to a FORSCOM Power Projection Platform for the Northeastern United States under the command and control of the United States Army Reserve Command. Primary missions include being a center of excellence for training mobilizing and deploying. Headquarters, US Army Training Center paperback
