198681638Germany: Manufacturer GereckeLauer GmbH 1986. Military Equipment. Good. Sturdy piece of US Army combat equipment dispenses plastic placards permitting the marking of contaminated areas: radiological biological and chemical. A sticker on the piece dates it from March 1986 manufactured in Germany. This equipment show some wear scratches soiling etc. This marking set provides the necessary equipment to mark contaminated areas as defined by FM 3-3. Chemical biological radiological and nuclear defense CBRN defense or CBRNE defense are protective measures taken in situations in which chemical biological radiological or nuclear warfare including terrorism hazards may be present. CBRN defense consists of CBRN passive protection contamination avoidance and CBRN mitigation. A CBRN incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both scope i.e. CBRN can be a mass casualty situation and intent. CBRN incidents are responded to under the assumption that they are intentional and malicious; evidence preservation and perpetrator apprehension are of greater concern than with HAZMAT incidents. Signs used for marking contaminated areas are standard throughout NATO in color shape and size. A contamination marking set is available for use by U.S. and NATO forces. Container holds 20 marking flags: 20 white flags for marking nuclear contamination 20 blue flags for marking biological contamination and 20 yellow flags for marking chemical contamination. There is a carrying container/straps that can be adjusted for front or back wear. This equipment is indicative of post-Vietnam pre-Gulf War tools for the NBC mission. MARKING PURPOSES ; Marking a CBRN-contaminated area warns U.S. and allied forces of contamination threats/hazards but the signs must be placed where they are most likely to be seen. Without visible markings unprotected military personnel may enter into a contaminated area and become casualties.<br/>CBRN reconnaissance is conducted to detect contamination:<br/> Before forces must move into or through or occupy an area of unknown CBRN contamination.<br/> When boundaries of a known contaminated area must be identified and marked.<br/> When at the time of survey identification of a route or other key terrain as uncontaminated is required.<br/>Once a CBRN R&S element surveys an area and CBRN contamination is located the area is marked using CBRN marking signs and a CBRN report is submitted to the requesting headquarters. Marking a contaminated area or equipment designates a hazard. A more detailed reconnaissance survey determines the extent and intensity of the contamination. Markings warn individuals and forces visually identify routes through or around contaminated areas to maximize operational maneuverability and identify equipment that is hazardous to military personnel.<br/>Marking of a contaminated area bypasses and surveyed uncontaminated key terrain is accomplished in two ways:<br/> Hasty. Action taken as soon as possible following the identification of contaminated terrain to<br/>mark the area with the intent of avoiding an unwarned encounter with the hazard.<br/> Deliberate. Actions taken to improve hasty marking adding additional markers increasing<br/>visibility and adding control measures when time and other resources permit. Manufacturer Gerecke+Lauer GmbH unknown

19774931Lund Sweden: Verlag Bo Cavefors 1977. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 599 pages. An anthology of writings and publications by the leaders of the Red Army Faction the violent radical leftist group that bombed government targets in Germany in the 1970s. The organization often known as the Baader-Meinhof Group after the surnames of its founders was banned in West Germany so this book was published in Sweden. Many copies of the book were seized by German police in raids on bookstores. In response some copies were bound as romance novels Karlek med forhinder Love with obstacles by A. Rosenberg. The covers are cream-colored with reddish-pink lettering and a small illustration of three naked women cavorting in nature after Manet.<br/> <br/> This modern example of deceptive packaging or tarnschriften echoed an earlier practice used by the Communist Party in Germany during the Nazi era. Given the anti-Semitic leanings of the RAF it is interesting that the name chosen for the cover "A. Rosenberg" could be mistaken for a Jewish surname. First edition first printing.
