197583984Washington 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

Topics covered include introduction and principles of boobytraps basic doctrine planning and installation equipment firing devices demolition materials including small missile construction techniques miscellaneous boobytraps from improvised materials. 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.

194282535Houston TX: E. M. Berry c1942. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. All Photographs courtesy of the Fort Eustis Public. Format is approximately 9 inches by 6 inches. Unpaginated but 32 pages plus covers. Pictorial work that is mostly photographs and captions. Cover is worn and soiled. Cover printing has faded and can be hard to read. Inside the front cover it states: Guardian of Our Ramparts! The Coast Artillery Replacement Training Center at Fort Eustis Virginia under the command of Brig. General Forrest E. Williford is the largest of its kind in the nation. Fort Eustis a World War No. 1 camp was rehabilitated and activated on January 22 1941 under the government's preparedness program and selectees began training here immediately. In less than a year there have been 25000 men assigned to Fort Eustis trained in coastal harbor and anti-aircraft defense and sent on to permanent stations in the United States and to Uncle Sam's newly acquired island bases. 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. Currently The post is the home to the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command as well as the U.S. Army Aviation Logistics School and 7th Transportation Brigade. Other significant tenants include the Army Center for Initial Military Training USACIMT Army Training Support Center ATSC the Army Aviation Applied Technology Directorate AATD and Enterprise Multimedia Center EMC. At Fort Eustis and Fort Story officers and enlisted soldiers receive education and on-the-job training in all modes of transportation aviation maintenance logistics and deployment doctrine and research.

Pack Animals in Support of Army Special Operations Forces; FM 31-27

200073764Washington DC: United States. Department of Defense. Department of the Army Headquarters 2000. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Staplebound. Various paginations approximately 125 pages. Illustrations. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. Three-holed punched and two staples at left side between the punch holes. Approximately 8.5 inches and 11 inches. Cover has some wear and soiling. Distribution was restricted but there is evidence that this restriction is no longer applicable copies on line. This manual provides guidance for training Army special operations forces ARSOF personnel in the techniques of animal pack transport and for organizing and operating pack animal units. It captures some of the expertise and techniques that have been lost in the United States U.S. Army over the last 50 years. The chapters on care feeding and veterinary medicine compose a considerable portion of the manual; however this material is not intended as a substitute for veterinary expertise nor will it make a veterinarian out of the reader. ARSOF personnel must have a rudimentary knowledge of anatomy and physiology common injuries diseases feeding and watering to properly care for the animals and to avoid abusing them from overloading or overworking. Though many types of beasts of burden may be used for pack transportation this manual focuses on horses mules and a few other animals. One cannot learn how to pack an animal by reading; there is no substitute for having a horse or mule while you practice loading a packsaddle. The manual is useful for anyone going into an environment where these skills are applicable. Field Manual FM 31-27 is a guide for ARSOF personnel to use when employed in training or combat situations using pack animals. For millenia horses carried the armies of the world. Other pack animals along with horses carried the heavy loads of food ammunition and equipment but horses predominated as the mounts for cavalry and the draft power for heavy artillery and supply wagons. But that all changed during a very short time in the early twentieth century. Rapid mechanization starting in World War I transformed armies by substituting machine power for animal power. In the first half of the 20th century horses and mules once the mainstay of military transportation all but disappeared from those roles. The internal combustion engine that emerged in the early 1900s quickly found its way into military equipment and operations. In World War I trucks greatly reduced the former dependence on horses while tractors were introduced as artillery prime movers and the tank appeared for the first time. Between World Wars I and II a debate raged over the proper role of armored vehicles for cavalry and infantry support as well as the suitability of motor transportation for supply and artillery under varying conditions. Infantry was augmented by tanks but for a few decades horse cavalry continued. By the late 1930s as World War II loomed the Cavalry became partially mechanized expanding that mechanization and joining with tanks to form the Armored Force for World War II. Reconnaissance was transformed by jeeps and motorcycles as well as aircraft another role lost by the horse. Except for a few battle zones of exceptionally rugged conditions legions of pack animals were almost completely replaced by the hundreds of thousands of trucks produced during WW II. A few die-hard Cavalry officers insisted on maintaining a minimal capability to train and manage animals in case of war in very unfavorable terrain like Italy or CBI in WW II. This faith was actually rewarded in Afghanistan in 2001-2002 where Special Forces found that the only option for movement in parts of that harsh and rugged land was by horse or mule. Understanding that pack animals have their unique uses even in a time of computers lasers GPS and the stealth bomber the Dept. of Defense authorized the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center to create a rigorous Animal Packers Course for all the services and the Army Special Forces issued a field manual on the subject.

The Army Lawyer: A History of the Judge Advocate General's Corps 1775-1975; Vanguard of Freedom United States Army Bicentennial 1775-1975

197590771Washington DC: United States Army 1975. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good. 4 278 6 pages. Illustrations. Bibliographic Note. Bibliography. This history celebrates the Bicentennial of The Judge Advocate General's Corps of the United States Army. Army lawyers have been with their commanders in that national service since the beginning: the institution of the Army lawyer is but 23 days younger than the Army of 1775 commanded by George Washington. This is a history of the law they practiced. Many kinds of lawyers appear here in text and vignette. Wells Blodgett Blanton Winship and Eugene Caffey were combat soldiers of great distinction wearers of the Medal of Honor There are "great" names too: John Marshall and Felix Frankfurter of the Supreme Court; great law teachers such as John Chipman Gray Edmund Morgan and John Henry Wigmore; and such prominent public servants as Henry L. Stimson and Leon Jaworski. The American military legal system both produced and is the product of great lawyers. George Washington established the JAG Corps on July 29 1775. Judge advocates were involved in writing and implementing Abraham Lincoln's General Orders No. 100: Instructions for the Government of the Armies of the United States in the Field which was the first systematic code of the law of war in the United States. The Judge Advocate General's Corps of the United States Army also known as the U.S. Army JAG Corps is the legal arm of the United States Army. It is composed of Army officers who are also lawyers "judge advocates" who provide legal services to the Army at all levels of command and also includes legal administrator warrant officers paralegal noncommissioned officers and junior enlisted personnel and civilian employees. The Judge Advocate General of the United States Army TJAG-the commanding general of the Army JAG Corps-is a lieutenant general. All military officers are appointed by the U.S. president subject to the advice and consent of the Senate but the Judge Advocate General is one of the few positions in the Army explicitly provided for by law in Title 10 of the United States Code and requiring a distinct appointment. When officers who have already been appointed to another branch of the Army join the JAG Corps rather than merely transferring branches they are administratively dismissed and simultaneously recommissioned anew as judge advocates. The U.S. Army JAG Corps was founded by General George Washington with the appointment of William Tudor as the Judge Advocate General on 29 July 1775. The Army JAG Corps is the oldest of the judge advocate communities in the U.S. armed forces - as well as the oldest law firm in the United States. The Judge Advocate General who is referred to as TJAG pronounced "tea-jag" serves a term of four years. The position was a 2-star major general billet until December 2008 when the promotion of Scott C. Black to the grade of lieutenant general brought it into parity with the Army's Surgeon General and Chief of Engineers. United States Army hardcover
