When issued distribution was only authorized to U.S. Government agencies. This field manual prescribed doctrine and provides techniques procedures and guidance for commanders staffs and soldiers. It applies to all echelons that include nuclear weapons units and their security in support of the AirLandBattle. This field manual also provides training doctrine specifically for nuclear ordnance units and their supporting units during the dispersing modes transition to war and dispersed mode wartime. It explains the nuclear weapons support structure and the associated military police and ordnance units and describes how US host-nation and user-nation support unites are structures and how they divide and deploy with their host-nation units to form NASPs. This field manual also provides general guidance for many of the emergency operations associated with nuclear weapons. As noted in the field manual ordnance soldiers must maintain transport store issue and provide security for nuclear weapons. Military police and other personnel performing security must aggressively screen nuclear weapon storage sites and movements of nuclear weapons. They must also detect delay or divert threat using an overall in-depth security operation that is based on the factors of METT-T. Ordnance MP and host-nation or user-nation soldiers must work together to assure that custodial and nuclear delivery units receive proper types and quantities of nuclear weapons in a reliable condition. They also must be able to defeat forces targeted against US and NATO nuclear capabilities. This manual addresses Nuclear Weapons Units the Threat the Dispersing Mode the Dispersed Mode Ground Convoy Procedures and Emerging Operations.

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

196879713Washington 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.

Fort Dix Nuclear/Chemical Accident/Incident Control Plan FD-NCAICP

197667415Fort Dix NJ: Headquarters US Army Training Center 1976. Wraps. Good. Pencil erasure residue on first page. Includes illustrations. Three-hole punched and staple bound. Various paginationsapproximately 150 pages. References. Thius plan was published for the information guidance and necessary action of commanders directors and office/activity chiefs concerns and supersedes the previous plan dated 1 February 1975. From Wikipedia: "Fort Dix the common name for the Dix unit of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is a United States Army base located approximately 16.1 miles 25.9 km south-southeast of Trenton New Jersey. Dix is under the jurisdiction of the United States Army Reserve Command USARC. Fort Dix established in 1917 was consolidated with two adjoining U.S. Air Force and Navy facilities to became part of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst JB MDL on 1 October 2009. However it remains commonly known as Fort Dix as of 2012.Fort Dix is named for Major General John Adams Dix a veteran of the War of 1812 and the Civil War. Construction began in June 1917. Camp Dix as it was known at the time was a training and staging ground for units during World War I. The camp became a demobilization center after the war. Between the World Wars Camp Dix was a reception training and discharge center for the Civilian Conservation Corps. Camp Dix became Fort Dix on March 8 1939 and the installation became a permanent Army post. During and after World War II the fort served the same purpose as in the first World War. It served as a training and staging ground during the war and a demobilization center after the war. On July 15 1947 Fort Dix became a Basic Training Center and the home of the 9th Infantry Division. In 1954 the 9th moved out and the 69th Infantry Division made the fort home until it was deactivated on March 16 1956. During the Vietnam War rapid expansion took place. A mock Vietnam village was constructed and soldiers received Vietnam-specific training before being deployed. Since Vietnam Fort Dix has sent soldiers to Operation Desert Shield Desert Storm Bosnia Afghanistan and Iraq. The Atlantic Strike Team AST of the U.S. Coast Guard is based at Fort Dix. As part of the Department of Homeland Security the AST is responsible for responding to oil pollution and hazardous materials release incidents to protect public health and the environment. Fort Dix is also home to Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution the largest single federal prison in America. It is a low security installation for male inmates located within the military installation. As of November 19 2009 it housed 4 310 inmates and a minimum-security satellite camp housed an additional 426. Inmates use plastic pouches of mackerel as commodity money. Knowing that Fort Dix was on a base closure list the U.S. Air Force attempted to save the U.S. Army post during 1987. The USAF moved the Security Police Air Base Ground Defence school from Camp Bullis Texas to Dix in the fall of 1987. It was eventually realized that it was not cost effective to put 50-100 S.P. trainees on a commercial flight from San Antonio Texas to Philadelphia Pennsylvania every couple of weeks so the school was later moved back to Camp Bullis Texas. Fort Dix was an early casualty of the first Base Realignment and Closure process in the early 1990s losing the basic-training mission that had introduced new recruits to military life since 1917. But Fort Dix advocates attracted Army Reserve interest in keeping the 31 000-acre 13 000 ha post as a training reservation. With the reserves and millions for improvements Fort Dix actually has grown again to employ 3 000. As many as 15 000 troops train there on weekends and the post has been a major mobilization point for reserve and National Guard troops since the September 11 2001 attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. Fort Dix has completed its realignment from an individual training center to a FORSCOM Power Projection Platform for the Northeastern United States under the command and control of the United States Army Reserve Command. Primary missions include being a center of excellence for training mobilizing and deploying. Headquarters, US Army Training Center paperback

General Orders

191769371New York City France: United States Army 27th Division 1917. Presumed first edition/first printing thus. Wraps. Fair. Signed by previous owner. Two hole cloth bound binder. General Orders 1-33 # 16 absent for 1917. General Orders 1-40 111 120-125 128-129 132 134-140. A remarkable substantial set of WWI Divisional General Orders covering the Division for the time Major General John O'Ryan assumed command on July 25 1917 to General Order 140 of August 25 1918. This may have belonged to Major later Colonel John Tabor Loree who after the war was a senior official at the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. From Wikiepedia: "The 27th Infantry Division was a unit of the Army National Guard in World War I and World War II. The division traces its history from the New York Division formed originally in 1908. The 6th Division designation was changed to the 27th Division in July 1917. When the New York Division was organized in 1908 the New York National Guard became the second state after Pennsylvania to structure its National Guard at such a high tactical level in peacetime. The New York Division was called to active duty during the Mexican border crisis of 1916. While on federal duty it was redesignated as the 6th Division in June 1916. It was released from active duty in December 1916 only to be recalled for World War I service in July 1917. The 6th Division was reorganized and redesignated as the 27th Division on 1 October 1917.Called into federal service on July 15 1917 the Twenty-Seventh Division hastily recruited to increase its numbers and late in August was concentrated at Camp Wadsworth near Spartanburg SC for intensive training. In the spring of 1918 the division began its movement toward embarkation camps. The division s advance detachment left Hoboken on May 2 and arrived at Brest France May 10 1918. Until July 24 the division was in the final stages of training under British mentors in Picardy and Flanders. On July 25 the 27th Division occupied the Dickebusch Lake and Scherpenberg sectors in Flanders. The great Somme "push " lasting from September 24 to October 1 saw the 27th engaged in severe fighting along the Saint Quentin Canal Tunnel. Later the Twenty-Seventh Division was back into action again moving steadily toward Busigny. Major Operations: Meuse-Argonne only the artillery Ypres-Lys Somme offensive. Battle of Dickebusche Lake Summer 1918 Battle of Vierstratt Ridge Summer 1918 Hindenburg Line September 1918.

Isthmian Canal Studies 1964 Title from Front Cover; Annex III Appendix 1 Inclosure A Excavation with Nuclear Explosions PNE-2001

196487717Livermore CA: U.S. Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group 1964. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. The format is approximately 8 inches by 10.5 inches. Various paginations approximately 120 pages. Illustrations figures tables tabular data. Ex-library copy with the usual library markings some blacked out. This is part of Plowshare--civil industrial and scientific used for nuclear explosives. The US Army Corps of Engineers Nuclear Cratering Group NCG program activities include: 1 cratering calibration of various geologic media and development of techniques designed to provide a desired crater geometry with chemical high-explosive detonations; 2 joint planning of and technical participation in AEC nuclear-excavation experiments; 3 development of data on the engineering properties of nuclear craters; 4 development of civil works nuclear construction technology; 5 accomplishment of engineering studies of nuclear construction feasibility; and 6execution of joint CE/AEC civil works nuclear-construction experiments. Four conceptual nuclear-construction applications have been identified as having a significant potential for accomplishment: 1 nuclear quarrying to produce rock fill or aggregate; 2 nuclear ejecta dam construction; 3 nuclear harbor construction; and 4 nuclear canal excavation. This inclosure described the design of the nuclear explosions required to excavate the channel for an Isthmian sea-level canal. The Columbian nuclear cue would use 262 devices with a total yield of 2709 megatons fired in 21 separate detonations. Project Plowshare was the overall United States program for the development of techniques to use nuclear explosives for peaceful construction purposes. The program was organized in June 1957 as part of the worldwide Atoms for Peace efforts. As part of the program 35 nuclear warheads were detonated in 27 separate tests. A similar program was carried out in the Soviet Union under the name Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy. Successful demonstrations of non-combat uses for nuclear explosives include rock blasting stimulation of tight gas chemical element manufacture unlocking some of the mysteries of the R-process of stellar nucleosynthesis and probing the composition of the Earth's deep crust creating reflection seismology vibroseis data which has helped geologists and follow-on mining company prospecting. The project's uncharacteristically large and atmospherically vented Sedan nuclear test also led geologists to determine that Barringer crater was formed as a result of a meteor impact and not from a volcanic eruption as had earlier been assumed. This became the first crater on Earth definitely proven to be from an impact event. Negative impacts from Project Plowshare's tests generated significant public opposition which eventually led to the program's termination in 1977. These consequences included tritiated water projected to increase by CER Geonuclear Corporation to a level of 2% of the then-maximum level for drinking water and the deposition of fallout from radioactive material being injected into the atmosphere before underground testing was mandated by treaty. Peaceful nuclear explosions PNEs are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes. Proposed uses include excavation for the building of canals and harbors electrical generation the use of nuclear explosions to drive spacecraft and as a form of wide-area fracking. PNEs were an area of some research from the late 1950s into the 1980s primarily in the United States and Soviet Union. In the U.S. a series of tests were carried out under Project Plowshare. Some of the ideas considered included blasting a new Panama Canal constructing the proposed Nicaragua Canal the use of underground explosions to create electricity Project PACER and a variety of mining geological and radionuclide studies. The largest of the excavation tests was carried out in the Sedan nuclear test in 1962 which released large amounts of radioactive gas into the air. By the late 1960s public opposition to Plowshare was increasing and a 1970s study of the economics of the concepts suggested they had no practical use. Plowshare saw decreasing interest from the 1960s and was officially canceled in 1977. The Soviet program started a few years after the U.S. efforts and explored many of the same concepts under their Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy program. The program was more extensive eventually conducting 239 nuclear explosions. Some of these tests also released radioactivity including a significant release of plutonium into the groundwater and the polluting of an area near the Volga River. A major part of the program in the 1970s and 80s was the use of very small bombs to produce shock waves as a seismic measuring tool and as part of these experiments two bombs were successfully used to seal blown-out oil wells. The program officially ended in 1988. U.S. Army Engineer Nuclear Cratering Group paperback
