Inside the rear cover it states: Taps. We hope this book has given you a glimpse into our lives as soldiers in the service of our country at Fort Eustis and will be a reminder now and in years to come of scenes and events that enrich our memories of the fulfillment of our duty to the United States of America. During WWI then Colonel Williford DSM served with marked efficiency as Director of the Trench Artillery School at Langres and Commandant of the Trench Artillery Center at Vitrey. Later as Chief of the Trench Artillery Section in the Office of the Chief of Artillery A. E. F. he initiated the plans of and controlled the training of this important branch of the Artillery arm with exceptional ability rendering services of inestimable value to the A. E. F. On 7 March 1918 the Army bought Mulberry Island and the surrounding land for $538000 as part of the military build-up for World War I. Approximately 200 residents were relocated many to the Jefferson Park area nearby in Warwick County. Camp Abraham Eustis was established as a coast artillery replacement center for Fort Monroe and a balloon observation school. It was named for Brevet Brigadier General Abraham Eustis a 19th-century U.S. military leader who had been the first commanding officer of Fort Monroe a defensive fortification at the mouth of Hampton Roads. Camp Abraham Eustis became Fort Eustis and a permanent military installation in 1923. The post was garrisoned by artillery and infantry units until 1931 when it became a federal prison primarily for bootleggers during Prohibition. The repeal of Prohibition resulted in a prisoner decline and the post was taken over by various other military and non-military activities including a WPA camp that utilized some of the barracks on the post during the Great Depression. Fort Eustis was reopened as a military installation in August 1940 as the Coast Artillery Replacement Training Center. In 1943 the Caribbean Regiment of the British Army was formed there. In 1946 Fort Eustis became home to the newly formed Transportation School which moved from New Orleans. Training in rail marine amphibious operations and other modes of transportation was consolidated at Fort Eustis.

Sturgis Jr. August 1 1861 - March 7 1933 was a senior officer of the United States Army who commanded the 87th and 80th divisions during World War I. In August 1917 Sturgis was promoted to temporary major general and assigned to command Camp Pike Arkansas and the 87th Division. After leading it though its organization and training Sturgis led the division in France beginning in August 1918 when it was used to provide replacement troops for front line units. He remained in command until the end of the war in November. From November 1918 until April 1919 Sturgis commanded the 80th Division during its post-war occupation duty. After the war Sturgis commanded the demobilization centers at Camp Gordon Camp Pike and Camp Sherman between 1919 and 1921. Camp Pike Arkansas was named in honor of Brigadier General Zebulon M. Pike U.S. Army discoverer of Pike's Peak; killed in action 1818. Established July 18 1917 to serve as training camp for 87th Division National Army which occupied the cantonment August 1917 to June 1918. Construction started June 17 1917 and continued through 1918. Designated as infantry replacement and training camp April 1918 as infantry training center August 21 1918 and as a demobilization center December 3 1918. Retained as permanent reservation. Known as Camp Joseph T. Robinson since 1937. The cantonment was awarded to Little Rock on June 11 1917. A major factor in the decision to award the cantonment to Little Rock was the similarity of the terrain to that of European battlefields. The first troops began to arrive on September 5 1917. The first man to register was Walter Sherman Sarten a farmer from Bentonville Arkansas. By September 8 1917 there were 1500 men in camp; that number would grow to as many as 100000 by the fall of 1918. Construction on the camp was completed in December 1917. After arriving at the camp all new soldiers were restricted to barracks for a ten-day quarantine to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. After completing the quarantine the soldiers were issued uniforms and began training. The majority of the soldiers stayed in two story wooden structures. Sleeping quarters were on the top floor and consisted of approximately 100 cots arranged in single rows along the two outer walls and down the middle. Each cot had a mattress filled with straw. Located on the first floor were a mess hall and a squad room. All cots and mattress were moved outside each day weather permitting and the floors were scrubbed. The camp had an immediate impact on the economy of central Arkansas. Although no records exist to determine how much of the camp's supplies were purchased locally of necessity a large portion would have been procured from sources in central Arkansas. The post was built as a home for the 87th Division of the National Army. After completing their training the 87th left Camp Pike for France in August 1918 and an infantry training center was established at Camp Pike. A total of 22291 soldiers received infantry training at Camp Pike and were sent overseas. The post was designated as a demobilization center on December 3 1918 and over 105000 soldiers were demobilized at Camp Pike.

The New Infantry Drill Regulations United States Army with Rifle Marksmanship Caliber .30 Model 1903 Springfield Caliber .30 M1 and U. S. Carbine Caliber .30 MI Military Courtesy and Discipline Interior Guard Duty The Infantry Pack and Equipment
Harrisburg PA: The Military Service Publishing Co 1944. Eleventh Edition stated. Presumed first printing thus. Hardcover. Good. 6 424 pages. Includes: illustrations sketches diagrams photographs Tabular data. Cover has some wear and soiling. Topics covered include: The Soldier without Arms The Soldier with Arms Drill for Foot Troops Drill for Unites with Animal-Drawn Carts or Pack Animals Drill for Units with Motor Carriers Drill for Motor and Wagon Units Formations of Battalion and Regiment Ceremonies Extended Order Signals Rifle Marksmanship U.S. Rifle Caliber .30 Model 1903 "Springfield" Rifle Marksmanship U.S. Rifle Caliber .30 M1 Rifle Marksmanship U.S. Rifle Carbine Caliber .30 M1 Military Courtesy and Discipline Interior Guard Duty and The Infantry Pack and Equipment. 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

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

German Military Improvisations During The Russian Campaign
Forest Grove OR: Normount Technical Publications 1971. Reprint Edition. Hardcover. Good. v 1 110 4 pages. Reference Map and other Maps. This was originally published as MS T-21 'German Military Improvisations' and subsequently revised as 'German Military Improvisations During The Russian Campaign' DA Pam 20-201. Includes chapters on Tactical Improvisations; The Defensive; Troop Movements; Combat Arms; Improvisations in the Fields of Supply and Transportation; Technical Improvisations; Organizational Improvisations; and Conclusions. This pamphlet was prepared for the Historical Division European Command by a group of former German generals and general staff officers. The reader is reminded that all publications in the GERMAN REPORT were written by Germans from the German point of view and that the procedures of the German Army differ considerably from those of the United States Army. Authorized German tables of organization and equipment official German combat doctrine or standard German staff methods form the basis for improvisations throughout this pamphlet. As prepared by the authors this study consisted of a collection of 157 examples of improvisations which wee screened by the authors for pertinence clarity and interest to the American reader. Moreover an attempt was made to establish common denominators for the great variety of examples. Although the manuscript was completely reorganized during this editorial process every effort was made to retain the point of view the expressions and even the prejudices of the authors. The Eastern Front of World War II was a theater of conflict between the European Axis powers against the Soviet Union USSR Poland and other Allies which encompassed Central Europe Eastern Europe Northeast Europe Baltics and Southeast Europe Balkans from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945. It was known as the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union and some of its successor states while everywhere else it was called the Eastern Front. The battles on the Eastern Front of the Second World War constituted the largest military confrontation in history. They were characterized by unprecedented ferocity and brutality wholesale destruction mass deportations and immense loss of life due to combat starvation exposure disease and massacres. Of the estimated 70-85 million deaths attributed to World War II around 30 million occurred on the Eastern Front including 9 million children. The Eastern Front was decisive in determining the outcome in the European theater of operations in World War II eventually serving as the main reason for the defeat of Nazi Germany and the Axis nations. The two principal belligerent powers were Germany and the Soviet Union along with their respective allies. Though never sending in ground troops to the Eastern Front the United States and the United Kingdom both provided substantial material aid to the Soviet Union in the form of the Lend-Lease program along with naval and air support.

Area Predictor Radiological Fallout ABC-M52A; For Instructions on use see FM 3-22 and TM 3-6665-304-10
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

Fallout Prediction; Field Manual FM 3-22
Washington DC: Department of the Army 1973. First Edition thus later 1975 printing. Wraps. Good. Format is approximately 8.25 inches by 11 inches. Three-hole punched and staplebound. 80 pages. Illustrations graphs nomograms diagrams formulae. References. Cover has some wear and soiling. A few pencil marks noted inside. This manual supersedes TM 3-210 3 December 1967 including all changes. Its contents address Introduction to Fallout Prediction Detailed Fallout Prediction Simplified Fallout Predictions Fallout Prediction for Atomic Demolition Munitions Friendly Nuclear Strike Warning Message and References. This manual provides guidance in the preparation of detailed and simplified fallout predictions to commanders of all echelons within the Army and provides procedural guidance for those persons operating the Chemical Biological and Radiological Element CBRE. The material in this manual is applicable to nuclear warfare conditions. This manual is in consonance with the international standardization agreements STANAG referenced within this manual. The need for a fallout prediction system stems form the large-area radiological contamination hazard that can develop from fallout-producing nuclear detonations. This large-area hazard is capable of producing mass casualties is its presence is not detected or if commanders at all echelons do not understand its effects and take action to minimize these effects. Thus fallout has a considerable impact on military planning and operations. Nuclear fallout or 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 have 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. Now the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale INES is the primary form of categorizing the potential health and environmental effects of a nuclear or radiological event and communicating it to the public. The need for a fallout prediction system stems from the large-area radiological hazard that develops from fallout-producing nuclear bursts. Contamination has a large impact on military planning and operations. This hazard produces mass casualties if its presence is not detected and actions taken to minimize the radiological hazards. Commanders at all echelons must understand its effects and take action to minimize those effects. There are many occasions when a commander will require a fallout prediction. Three examples follow: When the commander plans to use a nuclear weapon that lacks 99-percent probability of being fallout safe or whenever a contact backup fuze is used a prestrike fallout prediction is prepared as part of the target analysis. Information may indicate that fallout is occurring or that fallout probably will occur from a nuclear burst friendly or enemy. In this case a fallout prediction is required to enable the commander to warn higher adjacent and subordinate units. When a fallout-producing burst occurs an evaluating procedure is begun that will answer the commander's questions about the hazard. However a time lag of several hours to a day or more may occur between the time of burst and the availability of measured data from radiological monitoring and/or survey. This delays evaluation of the actual hazard. During this time lag the fallout prediction area of expected hazard or at best the fallout prediction supplemented by measured radiation data may be the only available information for estimating the effects of the radiation hazard on tactical operations or plans. This information is significant in that it will enable the commander to avoid the contamination if possible In both simplified and detailed prediction a zone of primary hazard Zone I and one of secondary hazard Zone II are predicted. These zones are defined as areas where exposed unprotected personnel may receive militarily significant total doses of nuclear radiation within four hours after arrival of fallout. These doses may result in a reduction in combat effectiveness. Department of the Army paperback

Immediate Action Interim Change No. I01 dated 12 February 1982 4 pages laid in. This disseminates the revised first aid procedure for nerve agent poisoning and was considered critical in view of the recent replacement of nerve agent antidote with atropine. This manual tells how units of the United States Army can use the principles and techniques of nuclear biological and chemical NBC defense in the conduct of combat operations. The probability that the U.S. Army will be outnumbered at the start of any future war makes it essential that every unit gain the highest level of survival proficiency and basic operational skills. The concepts of training to fight and factually fighting under NBC conditions are the same. This manual services two purposes. It provides doctrine and guidance for the commander and his staff in NBC defense an d it provides the technical information necessary for chemical personnel and other personnel assigned NBC defense duties to evaluate NBC situations and advise their commander.

Nuclear Contamination Avoidance; FM 3-3-1 and FMFM 11-18
Washington DC: Department of the Army Headquarters and US Marine Corps 1994. Presumed First Edition First Printing thus. Wraps. Good/No Dust Jacket issued. Three hole-punched and staplebound. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Distribution was authorized to US government agencies only to protect technical or operational information as well as unclassified controlled nuclear information UCNI material from automatic dissemination under the International Exchange Program or by other means. This determination was made 29 November 1991. It is understood that due to the passage of time and increase in publicly available information this restriction no longer applies. This publication supercedes the nuclear/radiological portions of FM 3-3 dated 30 September 1986. Various paginations approximately 300 pages. Figures. Tables/Tabular Data Appendices. References. Glossary. Reproducible Forms. This we understand was the Army's last and most comprehensive word on how troops would confront the effects of nuclear weapons on the battlefield. IT was also jointly issued with the Marine Corps since their troops could also be expected to be on the ground in a 'post-detonation' operational environment. Much of the emphasis is on establishing and communicating the spatial extent of fallout from adversarial nuclear weapons explosions and understanding its impact on battlefield operations. This really is the definitive work on the subject at the end of the Twentieth Century. Included also is AREA PREDICTOR RADIOLOGICAL FALLOUT ABC-M5A2 a 24"X39" flexible translucent overlay sheet with stenciled templates for first-order fallout area delineation on US Army maps; its use is fully described in the FM 3-3-1 manual. The mission of the Chemical Corps is to prepare the Army to survive and win in a nuclear environment by developing doctrine organizations training products and equipment for nuclear defense and nuclear retaliation. Minimizing the impact of nuclear weapons through contamination avoidance protection and decontamination. Employing smoke and flame are part of the operational options. This manual FM 3-3-1 defines and clarified the entire process of nuclear contamination avoidance. It details the NBC Warning and Reporting System NBCWRS how to locate and identify nuclear contamination and how to operate in and around nuclear contamination. This manual is designed and intended to be an easy-to-read step-by-step manual depicting the manual method of calculating nuclear contamination avoidance procedures for chemical officers and NCOs at brigade level and high organizations. The manual addresses vulnerability analysis nuclear operations Fallout prediction Radiation Monitoring Reconnaissance Nuclear Defense Neutron-Induced Radiation Civilian Radiation Hazards Operational Exposure Guidance Shielding Nuclear Burst Effects Nuclear Effects on Electronics Wind Vector Planning Nomograms and Nuclear Operations Checklists.

United States Department of the Army, Headquarters
Tactical Nuclear Operations; Field Manual FM 100-30
Washington DC: U.S. Army Headquarters 1996. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Good/No dust jacket issued. Three-hole punched and staplebound. Distribution Restriction--authorized to U.S. Government agencies only. Various paginations approx. 100 pages. Figures. Glossary. References. Index. Cover creased and has some wear and soiling. This manual establishes Army doctrine for operations in a nuclear environment and details the doctrine for integrating nuclear consideration into all other aspects of the battlefield. It also describes the Army's role in nominating tragets at corps and above levels and protecting the force from the effects of a nuclear weapons detonation. Nuclear employment in a theater of operations has theater strategic operational and tactical results; execution has national strategic implications. The corps' role is to function at either the tactical or operational levels of war. At the tactical level the corps accomplishes missions as Field Manual FM 199-15 describes. At the operational level when directed and augmented the corps functions as either the Army force ARFOR the joint force land component command JFLCC or a joint task force JTF. By viewing the corps in its many possible roles the reader can also discern nuclear procedures for echelons above corps EAC and joint missions. This manual can help educate and train commanders and staff at corps and operations levels in nuclear operations and educate and train divisions in nuclear force protection. It is used with Joint Publications JP 3-12.1 3-12.2 SRD or 3-12.3 and serves as the bridge between joint and Army doctrine. It is also uses with FM 25-50 which contains training doctrine for nuclear survivability. Among the topics addressed are: Nuclear Weapons; Joint Nuclear Doctrine; Deterrence Proliferation Weapons Effects Survivability Countermeasures Nuclear Operations Targeting Battlefield Operating Systems Nuclear Support Nuclear Tactics; Tactical Operations; Military Training; Nuclear Combat; Theater Nuclear; Nuclear Environment FM-100-30 Mobile Defense Command and Control Decision-Making Collateral-Damage and Troop Safety. A tactical nuclear weapon TNW or non-strategic nuclear weapon NSNW is a nuclear weapon that is designed to be used on a battlefield in military situations mostly with friendly forces in proximity and perhaps even on contested friendly territory. Generally smaller in explosive power they are defined in contrast to strategic nuclear weapons which are designed mostly to be targeted at the enemy interior far away from the war front against military bases cities towns arms industries and other hardened or larger-area targets to damage the enemy's ability to wage war. No tactical nuclear weapon has ever been used in a combat situation. Tactical nuclear weapons include gravity bombs short-range missiles artillery shells land mines depth charges and torpedoes which are equipped with nuclear warheads. Also in this category are nuclear armed ground-based or shipborne surface-to-air missiles SAMs and air-to-air missiles. Small two-man portable or truck-portable tactical weapons such as the Special Atomic Demolition Munition and the Davy Crockett recoilless rifle have been developed but the difficulty of combining sufficient yield with portability could limit their military utility. In wartime such explosives could be used for demolishing "chokepoints" to enemy offensives such as at tunnels narrow mountain passes and long viaducts. There is no exact definition of the "tactical" category in terms of range or yield of the nuclear weapon. The yield of tactical nuclear weapons is generally lower than that of strategic nuclear weapons but larger ones are still very powerful and some variable-yield warheads serve in both roles. Some tactical nuclear weapons have specific features meant to enhance their battlefield characteristics such as variable yield which allow their explosive power to be varied over a wide range for different situations or enhanced radiation weapons which are meant to maximize ionizing radiation exposure and to minimize blast effects. Tactical nuclear weapons were a large part of the peak nuclear weapons stockpile levels during the Cold War. U.S. Army Headquarters paperback

The United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases USAMRIID; pronounced: you-SAM-rid is the U.S Army's main institution and facility for defensive research into countermeasures against biological warfare. It is located on Fort Detrick Maryland near Washington D.C. and is a subordinate lab of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command USAMRDC headquartered on the same installation. USAMRIID is the only U.S. Department of Defense DoD laboratory equipped to study highly hazardous viruses at Biosafety Level 4 within positive pressure personnel suits. USAMRIID employs both military and civilian scientists as well as highly specialized support personnel totaling around 800 people. In the 1950s and '60s USAMRIID and its predecessor unit pioneered unique state-of-the-art biocontainment facilities which it continues to maintain and upgrade. Investigators at its facilities frequently collaborate with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the World Health Organization and major biomedical and academic centers worldwide. USAMRIID was the first bio-facility of its type to research the Ames strain of anthrax determined through genetic analysis to be the bacterium used in the 2001 anthrax attacks. By U.S. Department of Defense DoD directive as well as additional U.S. Army guidance USAMRIID performs its "biological agent medical defense" research in support of the needs of the three military services. This mission and all work done at USAMRIID must remain within the spirit and letter of both President Richard Nixon's 1969 and 1970 Executive Orders renouncing the use of biological and toxin weapons and the U.N. Biological Weapons Convention of 1972. During the period of Desert Shield and Desert Storm 1990-91 USAMRIID provided the DoD with expert advice and products vaccines and drugs to ensure an effective medical response if a medical defense were required. USAMRIID scientists trained and equipped six special laboratory teams for rapid identification of potential BW agents which fortunately never appeared. Following the conflict USAMRIID physicians and engineers were key members of a United Nations Special Commission UNSCOM Inspection Team that evaluated the BW capabilities in Iraq during the 1990s.

United States Army, The Ordnance School
The Ordnance Company Medium Maintenance The Ordnance Battalion Maintenance; Ordnance School Text OS 9-25
Aberdeen Proving Ground MD: The Ordnance School 1941. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Four-hole punched and held together with two two pronged clips. Good. Format is approximately 8 inches by 13 inches four-hole punched with two two pronged clips holding the text together. 3iii-vii 250 pages. Three pages of errata sheets. 18 appendices. 50 Figures. Printed single-sided only. Cover worn torn and soiled with some page wear and soiling noted. Pencil marks and notations on cover and some pages. The major portion of this text appears to be an early version of Field Manual No. 9-10 The Ordnance Company -Medium Maintenance; The Ordnance Battalion--Maintenance. It was apparently expected to be issued in July 1941 the the date of issue is blank. FM 9-10 Ordnance Field Manual Ordnance Field Maintenance was published on April 20 1942. There are substantial differences between this text and what was officially published as FM 9-10. This publication was intended solely for use as an Ordnance School text for instruction purposes only. It was not intended for general distribution to agencies or personnel outside the Ordnance training Center at Aberdeen Proving ground Md. It is reasonable to conclude that this instructional text was also a draft text for what would eventually become FM 9-10 and that the experience gained in its use at The Ordnance School contributed to the development of material changes. As such then this early version not labeled as a draft provides a significant and perhaps unique insight into the development of Ordnance doctrine training and practice at the Company and Battalion level at the time when the United States entered the Second World War. One page on Machine Gun Repairs to the M9197A1 laid in. The purpose of this manual was to present a coordinated and complete picture of the problem of ordnance field maintenance together with a logical solution of that problem. While this manual will be found to be helpful as a reference for operation of the maintenance organizations in garrison it was intended primarily as a guide for use in field operations. There are included in the various parts of this manual a discussion of a typical ordnance field shop and a method of conducting operations; a discussion of details pertaining to a typical maintenance company; and discussions of particular problems in ordnance field maintenance as they are encountered and solved. Except where obviously necessary in the interests of uniformity throughout all ordnance service it is not intended that this manual shall impose unnecessary restrictions on the imagination and initiative of ordnance personnel responsible for the operation of the units covered by this manual. On the contrary it is intended that the thoughts and imagination of such personnel will be stimulated to evolve more satisfactory solutions to the problems of ordnance field service. The organization of ordnance maintenance in the field army is based on the principle of progressive increases in available maintenance facilities from front to rear. The equipment and personnel assigned to each echelon are designed to carry the normal load of that echelon plus a certain peak load of the subordinate echelons. In Part I. The Ordnance Company - Medium Maintenance there are Chapters on General; Organization and Equipment; Operations; Duties of Individuals; and Administrative Details. Part II. The Ordnance Battalion Maintenance has Chapters on General and Operations. A list of appendices follow and are in turn followed by the list of Figures. There are specific discussions of ordnance weapons and vehicles and materiel. There is significant discussion of the inspection of ordnance materiel especially ammunition. The Ordnance School unknown

Typographical error on front cover has date of 1945 instead of 1954. Circled in ink. This manual superseders FM 21-40 6 September 194 Including C1 11 April 1949; TC 12 1950 TB 3-215-1 28 June 1950; TC 40 1951 TC 17 1952 and FM 21-45 21 October 1952. This manual describes the basic facts about chemical biological and radiological CBR warfare; how the enemy may use these agents; and measures which may be taken to protect personnel. The manual is published for the information and guidance of all Air Force personnel. Chemical biological radiological/nuclear defense is protective measures taken in situations in which chemical biological radiological/nuclear warfare including terrorism hazards may be present. CBR defense consists of CBR passive protection contamination avoidance and CBR mitigation. A CBR incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both scope i.e. CBR can be a mass casualty situation and intent. CBR 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. U.

This publication supersedes pages 3-49 through 3-62 of ARTEP 7-115 25 January 1980 and ARTEP 7-248-13-MTP 1 September 1987. There is a distribution restriction notice on the front cover. The issuing organization was contacted with a request to clarify if the restriction still applied nearly thirty years after publication. After nearly a year with no response it is presumed that no restriction applied. This material reflects the state of the art the state of knowledge and the state of military practice just prior to U.S. Army combat operations in the first Persian Gulf War. This Mission Training Plan was prepared for the antiarmor company platoon and sections. Leader tasks supporting the T&EOs were written for the company platoon and section leader. The antiarmor platoon leader performs many of the same actions or standards as the antiarmor section leader. The mission of the antiarmor company platoon and section is to provide long-range direct antitank fire for the battalion. This MTP in combination with the applicable soldier's manuals established the training tasks and standards for antiarmor individual and collective skills needed by antiarmor companies platoons and sections to accomplish the mission of providing long-range direct antiarmor fires. The operations described in this MTP are the principal ones that the antiarmor company platoon and section must execute with a high level of proficiency. Each unit was expected to train as a minimum to the standards of the operation TE&Os in this MTP. United States, Department of Defense, Department of the Army, Headquarters paperback

Also chapter on detecting and removing boobytraps clearing and disarming methods. A booby trap is a device or setup that is intended to kill harm or surprise a person or animal unknowingly triggered by the presence or actions of the victim. As the word trap implies they sometimes have some form of bait designed to lure the victim towards it. At other times the trap is set to act upon trespassers that violate personal or restricted areas. The device can be triggered when the victim performs some type of everyday action e.g. opening a door picking something up or switching something on. They can also be triggered by vehicles driving along a road as in the case of victim-operated improvised explosive devices IEDs. Booby traps should not be confused with mantraps which are designed to catch a person. Lethal booby traps are often used in warfare particularly guerrilla warfare and traps designed to cause injury or pain are also sometimes used by criminals wanting to protect drugs or other illicit property and by some owners of legal property who wish to protect it from theft.

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

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.

Fallout Prediction: Department of the Army Technical Manual No. 3-210
Washington DC: Department of the Army December 1967. First Edition thus revision of previous manuals. Wraps. Good. Format is approximately 8 inches by 10 inches. 76 4 pages. Illustrations. This manual supersedes TM 3-210 22 May 1962 including C 1 2 April 1964 and C 2 17 January 1966; and TC 3-15 23 June 1965. Includes Appendix A. References and Appendix B. Example Problems. Three-hole punched. Covers somewhat discolored text somewhat darkened. Ink note on the cover. Topics covered include Introduction to Fallout Prediction Detailed Fallout Prediction Simplified Fallout Prediction; Special Fallout Prediction Cases; Fallout Wind Vector Plot; Detailed Fallout Prediction Techniques; Effective Downwind Message; Prediction of Fallout From Atomic Demolition Munitions ADM; Friendly Nuclear Strike Warning Message General Format for transmitting data; Tables Figures and Nomograms Used in Fallout Prediction General Purpose. Nuclear fallout or 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 have 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. Now the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale INES is the primary form of categorizing the potential health and environmental effects of a nuclear or radiological event and communicating it to the public. The need for a fallout prediction system stems from the large-area radiological hazard that develops from fallout-producing nuclear bursts. Contamination has a large impact on military planning and operations. This hazard produces mass casualties if its presence is not detected and actions taken to minimize the radiological hazards. Commanders at all echelons must understand its effects and take action to minimize those effects. There are many occasions when a commander will require a fallout prediction. Three examples follow: When the commander plans to use a nuclear weapon that lacks 99-percent probability of being fallout safe or whenever a contact backup fuze is used a prestrike fallout prediction is prepared as part of the target analysis. Information may indicate that fallout is occurring or that fallout probably will occur from a nuclear burst friendly or enemy. In this case a fallout prediction is required to enable the commander to warn higher adjacent and subordinate units. When a fallout-producing burst occurs an evaluating procedure is begun that will answer the commander's questions about the hazard. However a time lag of several hours to a day or more may occur between the time of burst and the availability of measured data from radiological monitoring and/or survey. This delays evaluation of the actual hazard. During this time lag the fallout prediction area of expected hazard or at best the fallout prediction supplemented by measured radiation data may be the only available information for estimating the effects of the radiation hazard on tactical operations or plans. This information is significant in that it will enable the commander to avoid the contamination if possible In both simplified and detailed prediction a zone of primary hazard Zone I and one of secondary hazard Zone II are predicted. These zones are defined as areas where exposed unprotected personnel may receive militarily significant total doses of nuclear radiation within four hours after arrival of fallout. These doses may result in a reduction in combat effectiveness. Department of the Army paperback

Aviator's Recognition Manual; Field Manual No. 1-402
Washington DC: Department of the Army Headquarters 1984. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. This Manual Supersedes FM 1-88 7 July 1980. Wraps. Good. 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.

Staff Officers' Field Manual Nuclear Weapons Employment Doctrine and Procedures; Department of the Army Field Manual FM 101-31-1; Marine Corps Fleet Marine Force Manual FMFM 11-4
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.

Airdrop of Supplies and Equipment; Rigging 318-MM Rocket System
Washington DC: Departments of the Army and the Air Force 1965. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Good. 2 53 3 pages. Tables. Illustrations/Figures. References. Five-hole punched and stapled at the left side. Stamps and ink notation on front cover. Ex-library with usual library markings. This includes Change No. 1 dated 11 March 1966 stapled behind the front cover and in front of the page 1 of this manual. Cover has some wear and soiling. This manual supersedes TM 10-500-51-1/TO 13C7-3-261 6 November 1963; TM 10-500-51-3/TO 13C7-3-281 24 April 1963; TM-500-76-1/TO 13C7-32-11 28 May 1962; TM 10-500-76-3/TO 13C7-32-31 30 January 1963; TM 10-500-81-1/TO 13C7-32-41 15 June 1963; and TM 10-500-81-3/TO 13C7;32-61 18 March 1963. 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.

Fort Eustis VA: U. S. Army Transportation School 1962. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. Five-hole punched and stapled on left side. 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.

U S Army Missile and Munitions Center and School
Missile Orientation Handbook; Handout X-4750
Redstone Arsenal Alabama: U. S. Army Missile and Munitions Center and School 1967. Revised Edition. Wraps. Good. Staplebound at left side. 148 pages. Figures including photographs and drawings/diagrams and tables. Name in ink on front cover. Cover has some wear and soiling. This publication was provided for resident instruction at the U. S Army Missile and Munitions Center and School. It reflects the then current thought of the school and conformed to printed Department of the Army doctrine as closely as possible. The mission of the US Army Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center & School is to ensure the combat commander is supported during Army joint and combined operations by developing doctrine materiel CSS concepts requirements and organizational structure. The School is also tasked with producing mission focused motivated ordnance officers warrant officers soldiers and civilians who are technically competent in the munitions management explosive ordnance disposal electronic and missile maintenance and test measurement and diagnostic equipment arenas. Redstone Arsenal RSA is a United States Army post and a census-designated place CDP adjacent to Huntsville in Madison County Alabama United States and is part of the Huntsville-Decatur Combined Statistical Area. The Arsenal is a garrison for a number of tenants including the United States Army Materiel Command Army's Aviation and Missile Command the Missile Defense Agency of the Department of Defense and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. RSA has benefited from decisions by the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The Redstone Arsenal CDP had a population of 1946 as of the 2010 census. The base contains a government and contractor workforce that averages 36000 to 40000 personnel daily.<br /> <br /> Originally a chemical weapons manufacturing facility for World War II in the immediate post-war era it became home to the German rocket scientists that were brought to the US as part of Operation Paperclip. The team first worked on ballistic missiles starting with V-2 rocket derivatives before moving on to a series of ever larger designs. Many of their tests were carried out at White Sands Missile Range and flights between the two locations were common. In late 1956 the Army was relieved of most of its ballistic missiles in favor of similar weapons operated by the US Air Force. The German design team was then spun off to become part of the newly founded NASA. Redstone served as the primary site for space launch vehicle design into the 1960s.<br /> <br /> In March 1952 the commanding officer at Redstone Arsenal officially established the Provisional Redstone Ordnance School. In December the Ordnance Guided Missile School OGMS was established taking over the provisional operation. The OGMS greatly expanded through the years occupying a large land area with many buildings and providing a wide variety of missile and munitions courses for thousands of students from the U.S. as well as many foreign countries. The name was later changed to the Missile and Munitions Center & School in 1966 and then to the Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center and School in the mid-1980s. In 1994 the School Brigade disbanded and was replaced by the reformed 59th Ordnance Brigade which had previously disbanded in Europe in 1992. The school was then renamed the Ordnance Munitions and Electronic Maintenance School in 2002 and moved to Fort Lee in 2011. U. S. Army Missile and Munitions Center and School paperback
