1916réf. 229001916. World War I mobilization photo album group of 65 photographs dating circa 1916-1918 documenting the training and daily life of U.S. soldiers during the pre-deployment period. The material captures the organization and routines of stateside military encampments as the United States prepared for overseas engagement providing visual evidence of training exercises camp infrastructure and soldier life. These images record both formal military activity and informal moments illustrating how enlisted men adapted to regimented environments while maintaining social bonds during the transition from civilian life to military service. Sixty-five black-and-white silver gelatin photographs each approximately 3 x 4 inches mounted in a ring-bound black leather album measuring about 3.5 x 6 inches. The images depict rows of conical canvas tents arranged in orderly lines soldiers standing in formation and groups engaged in drilling and instruction. Additional scenes show men performing camp labor including driving tent stakes transporting supplies cooking and resting on cots within tent interiors. Several photographs capture a regimental band assembled with visible instruments while others present candid moments of leisure and interaction.

The Ordnance Company Medium Maintenance The Ordnance Battalion Maintenance; Ordnance School Text OS 9-25

1941réf. 86279Aberdeen 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.
