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.

Army Engineers in Aleutian Islands AlaskaBiblio.com

World War II in the Aleutians: U.S. Army Engineers and Military Operations in Alaska's North Pacific Frontier

1945215781945. AArchive of 64 original black-and-white photographs documenting American military operations and engineering activities in the Aleutian Islands during World War II. Photographs measure approximately 4.5" x 3.5" and provide an extensive visual record of one of the most remote and environmentally challenging theaters of the war. The images chronicle the daily work of U.S. Army personnel and Army Engineers stationed across the Aleutian chain where military forces confronted not only the threat of enemy action but also some of the harshest conditions faced by American troops anywhere during the conflict. Soldiers appear throughout the archive wearing cold-weather gear field jackets heavy boots and M1 steel helmets while working patrolling and constructing infrastructure amid windswept volcanic landscapes. A significant portion of the collection documents the enormous logistical effort required to sustain military operations in the islands. Engineers are shown surveying terrain operating equipment cutting and processing timber and building facilities essential to maintaining isolated military outposts. Several striking photographs depict large timber-log chutes descending steep hillsides toward the shoreline apparently designed to move heavy equipment and supplies through terrain where conventional transportation proved difficult. Other images record lumber operations construction projects and the continual adaptation of military infrastructure to the rugged environment. The archive also contains numerous panoramic views of the Aleutian landscape itself. Snow-covered mountains barren volcanic ridges isolated coastlines glacial valleys and treeless tundra dominate many photographs illustrating why the campaign became as much a battle against geography and weather as against enemy forces. The Aleutian chain stretching deep into the North Pacific and containing dozens of active and dormant volcanoes represented one of the most isolated regions under American military control during the war. Naval and maritime operations are likewise represented. Several photographs show transport and supply vessels anchored offshore or approaching remote coastal installations highlighting the dependence of Aleutian bases upon sea-borne logistics. Military camps consisting of Quonset huts and tent encampments appear throughout the collection while one particularly notable image captures an aircraft flying above a military installation underscoring the importance of aerial reconnaissance and patrol operations in protecting the northern approaches to Alaska. Although often overshadowed by campaigns in Europe and the Central Pacific the Aleutian campaign held considerable strategic importance. Following the Japanese occupation of Attu and Kiska in 1942 American forces undertook a costly effort to secure the islands and maintain control of the northern Pacific. These photographs document the infrastructure manpower and determination required to operate in a theater where extreme weather isolation and difficult terrain shaped every aspect of military life. A substantial and visually compelling archive documenting the engineering logistical and environmental realities of America's northernmost front during World War II. Photographs remain in very good condition with minor surface wear and occasional light creasing. unknown

US Army Airforce Pilot TrainingBiblio.com

Wartime Pilot Training US Army Airforce Large Format Photograph Archive Documenting the First Effective Flight Simulator Training Device circa 1942 to 1945

1942235381942. World War II U.S. Army Air Forces Link Trainer training photo archive of five large format silver gelatin prints circa 1942 to 1945 documenting simulator instruction during the wartime expansion of American military flight training using the first effective training device. The men wear Army Air Forces uniforms aviation badges officer caps and the winged star shoulder sleeve insignia commonly called the Hap Arnold emblem an insignia approved in 1942 for AAF personnel. The photographs place the pilot inside a ground based cockpit trainer while instructors and fellow cadets observe a visual record of how instrument procedure radio communication and cockpit discipline were taught before airborne practice. Invented by Edwin Albert Link in 1929 the Link Trainer was the world's first widely successful and effective mechanical flight simulator. Affectionately dubbed the "Blue Box" it revolutionized aviation by allowing pilots to safely train for blind instrument-only flying and poor weather conditions without leaving the ground. Photo archive of 5 silver gelatin photographs 8 x 10 inches United States circa 1942 to 1945. The photographs show Army Air Forces cadets and officers in a training room with a large cockpit simulator built with stub wings a tail round U.S. star insignia hinged canopy panels external bracing and a cockpit just large enough for one seated trainee. Several images show a trainee wearing headphones and working inside the enclosed trainer; another shows a man raising the canopy while holding a hand microphone; another shows three uniformed men observing a cadet seated at the controls. One image shows a pilot being congratulated or greeted at the simulator door by three officers with a placard on the fuselage reading "International flight." Visible uniform details include the AAF shoulder patch on a cadet's sleeve pilot or aircrew wings over shirt pockets aviation branch collar devices and officer cap insignia linking the group to the Army Air Forces rather than the postwar U.S. Air Force. The Link Trainer became one of the defining instruments of World War II flight instruction because it moved dangerous lessons in blind flying night navigation instrument reading and radio procedure into a controlled classroom setting. The U.S. Army Air Corps had adopted the device before the war and wartime mobilization turned simulator instruction into a standard component of pilot preparation as the Army Air Forces trained pilots at unprecedented scale for bomber fighter transport and liaison service. These photographs are strongest where they show the training process itself: the student isolated inside the cockpit the instructor watching from outside the headset and microphone linking simulated flight to communication procedure and the fuselage marked for an "International flight" exercise. Light curling and occasional creasing; some handling marks in the margins. Overall good condition. A focused visual record of World War II Army Air Forces simulator training and the classroom machinery that converted cadets into wartime pilots. unknown

General Sir Kenneth Anderson [General Sir Kenneth Arthur Noel Anderson, KCB, MC] (1891-1959), commander of British First Army duBiblio.com

General Sir Kenneth Anderson commander of British First Army during Operation Torch. Autograph Letter Signed 'Kenneth Anderson' discussing Kenya the 'severe crisis' in Britain conscription. With ANS from recipient Brigadier H. H. Dempsey

20974Dun Eaglais Kippen Stirlingshire Scotland. 14 February 1947. Dempsey's note dated 10 August 1960. Dempsey's obituary in The Times explains how 'In April 1945 he was appointed Brigadier I/C Administration East Africa Command' holding the position into the following year and retiring in December 1947 on account of ill health. For a full account of Dempsey's military career see his entry in Catholic Who's Who vol.35 1952. In an eight-line Autograph Note Signed at the end of Anderson's letter Dempsey states that Anderson 'had been my personal & immediate superior as G.O.C. in C. East Africa Command when I was his Brigadier I/C Administration. He became Governor of Gibraltar and has been dead some time now having himself got a coronary thrombosis.' The present item is an Air Mail letter. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium on blue paper. Addressed to 'Brigadier M. C. sic Demspey CBE No 87 General Hospital Nairobi Kenya Colony'. Anderson has confused Dempsey with the more illustrious General Sir Miles Christopher Dempsey 1896-1969.Anderson begins by condoling with Dempsey on 'a return of your thrombosis': 'it is no use going on kicking against the pricks and you must I fear face the need for a quiet life'. He next describes the weather in Scotland 'our 21st day of hard frost & snow'. A report on his wife's trip to the metropolis turns into an attack on the postwar Labour government: 'Kathleen is in London trying to buy clothes by candle & torch light and shivering in her hotel. I fear this country is in for a very severe crisis made worse by the theories & idealisms of the Govt which fiddles while Rome does not burn.' After more domestic news he reports: 'I saw Brown and also Fisher while in London at the end of last month. The War Office continues hopeful about all their grand schemes for Kenya: but it will be a miracle if they get 1/10th of the present estimated cost. And on the same lines I dont see how the country can carry a large Army and 18 months conscription. We are so hard pressed economically that I think it is fanstastic to try & carry such a Burden.' Dun Eaglais, Kippen, Stirlingshire [Scotland]. 14 February 1947. Dempsey's note dated 10 August 1960. hardcover
