‎The Fall of Fort Bowyer to the British following the Battle of New Orleans 1815. Contemporary Manuscript Copy of Autograph Despatch from Major John Lambert to Earl Bathurst describing the action.‎

‎'Head Quarters Isle Dauphine February 14th. 1815.' On paper with Golding & Snelgrove watermark dated 1811. 3pp foolscap 8vo. On laid paper with watermark: 'GOLDING & SNELGROVE 1811'. Aged and worn with closed tears along folds but with text complete and clear. The document includes two passages written in red ink which has faded but is still legible. The background to the present letter is given in Lambert's entry in the Oxford DNB: 'On 4 June 1813 Lambert was promoted major-general and was appointed to a brigade of the 6th division. … Having been sent to America he joined the army under Sir Edward Pakenham below New Orleans on 6 January 1815 with the 7th and 43rd foot regiments. In the unsuccessful attack on the American trenches made two days afterwards he commanded the reserve. When Pakenham was killed and General Gibbs mortally wounded the chief command devolved on Lambert. He decided not to renew the attack withdrew the troops which had been sent across the Mississippi and after retreating on 18 January re-embarked his force on the 27th. It went to the Bay of Mobile where Fort Bowyer was taken on 12 February and next day news arrived that peace had been signed.' The letter appears in its entirety in William James's 'A Full and Correct Account of the Military Occurrences of the Late War between Great Britain and the United States of America' London: 1818. It begins: 'My Lord My dispatch dated January 29th. will have informed your Lordship of the re-embarkation of this force which was completed on the 30th.: the weather came on so bad on that night and continued so until the 5th. February so that no communication could be held with the Ships at the inner anchorage a distance of about seventeen miles It being agreed between Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane and myself that operations should be carried towards Mobile it was decided that a force should be sent against Fort Bowyer situated on the eastern point of the entrance of the bay and from every information that could be obtained it was considered a brigade would be sufficient for this object with a respectable force of artillery.' Lambert proceeds to give a description of how following 'an incessant fire for two days' Fort Bowyer was 'given up to a British guard and British colours hoisted; the terms being signed by Major Smith military Secretary and Captain Ricketts R.N. and finally approved of by the Vice Admiral and myself'. He gives full credit to those involved. 'Head Quarters Isle Dauphine | February 14th. 1815.' [On paper with Golding & Snelgrove watermark dated 1811.] unknown‎

‎US Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group U S‎

‎Isthmian Canal Studies 1964 Title from Front Cover; Annex III Appendix 1 Inclosure A Excavation with Nuclear Explosions PNE-2001‎

‎Livermore CA: U.S. Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group 1964. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. The format is approximately 8 inches by 10.5 inches. Various paginations approximately 120 pages. Illustrations figures tables tabular data. Ex-library copy with the usual library markings some blacked out. This is part of Plowshare--civil industrial and scientific used for nuclear explosives. The US Army Corps of Engineers Nuclear Cratering Group NCG program activities include: 1 cratering calibration of various geologic media and development of techniques designed to provide a desired crater geometry with chemical high-explosive detonations; 2 joint planning of and technical participation in AEC nuclear-excavation experiments; 3 development of data on the engineering properties of nuclear craters; 4 development of civil works nuclear construction technology; 5 accomplishment of engineering studies of nuclear construction feasibility; and 6execution of joint CE/AEC civil works nuclear-construction experiments. Four conceptual nuclear-construction applications have been identified as having a significant potential for accomplishment: 1 nuclear quarrying to produce rock fill or aggregate; 2 nuclear ejecta dam construction; 3 nuclear harbor construction; and 4 nuclear canal excavation. This inclosure described the design of the nuclear explosions required to excavate the channel for an Isthmian sea-level canal. The Columbian nuclear cue would use 262 devices with a total yield of 2709 megatons fired in 21 separate detonations. Project Plowshare was the overall United States program for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. The program was organized in June 1957 as part of the worldwide Atoms for Peace efforts. As part of the program 35 nuclear warheads were detonated in 27 separate tests. A similar program was carried out in the Soviet Union under the name Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy. Successful demonstrations of non-combat uses for nuclear explosives include rock blasting stimulation of tight gas chemical element manufacture unlocking some of the mysteries of the R-process of stellar nucleosynthesis and probing the composition of the Earth's deep crust creating reflection seismology vibroseis data which has helped geologists and follow-on mining company prospecting. The project's uncharacteristically large and atmospherically vented Sedan nuclear test also led geologists to determine that Barringer crater was formed as a result of a meteor impact and not from a volcanic eruption as had earlier been assumed. This became the first crater on Earth definitely proven to be from an impact event. Negative impacts from Project Plowshare's tests generated significant public opposition which eventually led to the program's termination in 1977. These consequences included tritiated water projected to increase by CER Geonuclear Corporation to a level of 2% of the then-maximum level for drinking water and the deposition of fallout from radioactive material being injected into the atmosphere before underground testing was mandated by treaty. Peaceful nuclear explosions PNEs are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes. Proposed uses include excavation for the building of canals and harbors electrical generation the use of nuclear explosions to drive spacecraft and as a form of wide-area fracking. PNEs were an area of some research from the late 1950s into the 1980s primarily in the United States and Soviet Union. In the U.S. a series of tests were carried out under Project Plowshare. Some of the ideas considered included blasting a new Panama Canal constructing the proposed Nicaragua Canal the use of underground explosions to create electricity Project PACER and a variety of mining geological and radionuclide studies. The largest of the excavation tests was carried out in the Sedan nuclear test in 1962 which released large amounts of radioactive gas into the air. By the late 1960s public opposition to Plowshare was increasing and a 1970s study of the economics of the concepts suggested they had no practical use. Plowshare saw decreasing interest from the 1960s and was officially canceled in 1977. The Soviet program started a few years after the U.S. efforts and explored many of the same concepts under their Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy program. The program was more extensive eventually conducting 239 nuclear explosions. Some of these tests also released radioactivity including a significant release of plutonium into the groundwater and the polluting of an area near the Volga River. A major part of the program in the 1970s and 80s was the use of very small bombs to produce shock waves as a seismic measuring tool and as part of these experiments two bombs were successfully used to seal blown-out oil wells. The program officially ended in 1988. U.S. Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group paperback‎

The Army Service Forces was one of the three autonomous components of the United States Army during World War II the others being the Army Air Forces and Army Ground Forces created on 9 March 1942. By dividing the Army into three large commands the Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall drastically reduced the number of officers and agencies reporting directly to him. The Army Service Forces brought together elements of five different components of the Army: elements of the War Department General Staff WDGS especially its G-4 division responsible for logistics; the Office of the Under Secretary of War; the eight administrative bureaus; the nine corps areas which became service commands; and the six supply arms and services which became known as the technical services. The Army Service Forces was initially known as the United States Army Services of Supply but the name was changed on 12 March 1943 as it was felt that the term "supply" did not accurately describe the broad range of its activities. The Army Service Forces was abolished on 11 June 1946 and most of its functions were taken over by the War Department General Staff. For most of its existence the Army Service Forces was commanded by General Brehon B. Somervell with Lieutenant General Wilhelm D. Styer as his chief of staff. After Styer left for the Pacific he was succeeded by Major General LeRoy Lutes on 18 April 1945. Brigadier General Lucius D. Clay was the Deputy Chief of Staff for Requirements and Resources and as such he was responsible for the development of the Army Supply Program the operation of the Lend-Lease program and liaison with the War Production Board concerning the allocation of raw materials. Although he had his own logistics staff in the G-4 division of the War Department General Staff it was to Somervell and Styer that Marshall turned to for advice on logistical matters and it was Somervell who attended the important wartime conferences. Six supply arms and services became part of the new organization: the Corps of Engineers Signal Corps Ordnance Department Quartermaster Corps Chemical Warfare Service and the Medical Department. They were designated "supply services" in April 1942 and "technical services" in April 1943. A seventh technical service the Transportation Corps was created in July 1942. The technical services developed military equipment manufactured or purchased it stored it in depots maintained and repaired it and issued it to the troops. Each had its own budget and together they accounted for half of the Army's appropriations. The service commands were the field agencies of the ASF. There were initially nine of these each responsible for a different geographical region. In August 1942 the Military District of Washington also assumed the status of a service command. The Northwest Service Command was created in September 1942. It was responsible for the construction and maintenance of the Alaska Highway the operation of the railway between Skagway Alaska and Whitehorse and the Canol Project. Army installations in the continental United States that were placed directly under the service commands included recruiting stations induction and reception centers repair shops enemy alien and prisoner of war camps medical and dental laboratories Reserve Officers' Training Corps units dispensaries finance offices disciplinary barracks and named general hospitals except for the Walter Reed General Hospital.

‎The Tactical Use of Atomic Weapons; Unclassified Military Effects Department of the Army Pamphlet 39-1‎

‎Washington DC: United States Department of the Army Headquarters 1955. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. i 1 59 3 pages. Figures including fold-out. Sketch map. Index chart to damage estimation charts and nomographs. Cover has some wear and soiling/staining. Marked For Official Use Only but this limitation is understood to no longer apply. This pamphlet provides an unclassified basis for the utilization of atomic weapons in courses at the various schools and in training. The effects data herein are based primarily on the unclassified data contained in The Effects of Atomic Weapons and in Radiological Defense Volume II but also on other unclassified sources. The methods of casualty and damage estimation herein have been so designed as to provide an understanding of the role of target analysis in the tactical use of atomic weapons without at the same time burdening nonspecialized students with the details of a comprehensive target analysis. It is intended that this text be utilized for classroom purposes. The text has been reviewed by Headquarters Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. The damage estimation system it contains is based on certain material produced by the SANDIA CORPORATION. While the atomic bomb is admittedly a weapon of great power it is not to be regarded as an absolute weapon-that is to say it is not a weapon against which there is no defense. Throughout history the introduction of every new weapon has been followed by the development of defensive measures which hare lessened its effectiveness. However the tactical utilization of atomic weapons requires an understanding of the characteristics and effects of these weapons under various circumstances. In the event of a future war a commander must consider the enemy's use of atomic weapons in his own strategic plans or tactical decisions. He must know what precautionary measures will minimize the hazard to his own forces when taking advantage of the situation created by an atomic attack on the enemy. Further in an emergency each member of the Armed Services may have to act possibly without warning for his own protection. The explosion of an atomic bomb resembles that of an ordinary high explosive HE bomb in the respect that the explosion is due to the rapid release of a large amount of energy in a small space.

This pamphlet supersedes MS # P-039 "Armored Traffic Project" which was given a limited distribution by the Office of the Chief of Military History Special Staff U.S. Army. This pamphlet was prepared for the Historical Division EUCOM by a group of former German generals and general staff officers. All of the contributing authors saw considerable service on the Eastern Front during World War II. The principal author Brig. Gen. Hermann Burkhart Wueller-Hillebrand served as aide to the Chief of the Army General Staff before assuming command of an armored regiment on the Russian front. Successively appointed chief of staff of a panzer corps and a panzer army he saw action in the Ukraine Poland and East Prussia. One of the associate authors Brig. Gen. Oskar Munzel commanded a tank battalion and an armored regiment during the early phase of the Russian campaign. In 1943 General Munzel was assigned as instructor at the German armored school at<br/>Wuensdorf and subsequently became commandant of the one at Bergen-Fallingsbostel. Returning to the Russian front toward the end of the war he led a panzer brigade and served as deputy commander of a panzer division. In World War II the German Army doctrine on march and traffic control was firmly established and set forth in a field manual. The manual treated the subject in the broadest terms and was supplemented from time to time by pamphlets based on more current wartime experience. Unfortunately no copies of these publications were available to the authors when this study was written and much of the source material had to be drawn purely from memory. In view of the rapid strides made in the development of mechanized warfare and in deference to specific experience acquired<br/>during operations in various theaters of war the German manual avoided giving detailed directions and confined itself to such conventional principles as applied equally to all arms and services. It was then left to the discretion of each arm and service to prepare and issue such additional publications as were deemed necessary. One pamphlet entitled "The March of Motorized Troops" and published by the German Armored School in the fall of 1941 was used as a reference source for this study.

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
