199484973Washington DC: Department of the Army Headquarters and US Marine Corps 1994. Presumed First Edition First Printing thus. Wraps. Good/No Dust Jacket issued. Three hole-punched and staplebound. Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Distribution was authorized to US government agencies only to protect technical or operational information as well as unclassified controlled nuclear information UCNI material from automatic dissemination under the International Exchange Program or by other means. This determination was made 29 November 1991. It is understood that due to the passage of time and increase in publicly available information this restriction no longer applies. This publication supercedes the nuclear/radiological portions of FM 3-3 dated 30 September 1986. Various paginations approximately 300 pages. Figures. Tables/Tabular Data Appendices. References. Glossary. Reproducible Forms. This we understand was the Army's last and most comprehensive word on how troops would confront the effects of nuclear weapons on the battlefield. IT was also jointly issued with the Marine Corps since their troops could also be expected to be on the ground in a 'post-detonation' operational environment. Much of the emphasis is on establishing and communicating the spatial extent of fallout from adversarial nuclear weapons explosions and understanding its impact on battlefield operations. This really is the definitive work on the subject at the end of the Twentieth Century. Included also is AREA PREDICTOR RADIOLOGICAL FALLOUT ABC-M5A2 a 24"X39" flexible translucent overlay sheet with stenciled templates for first-order fallout area delineation on US Army maps; its use is fully described in the FM 3-3-1 manual. The mission of the Chemical Corps is to prepare the Army to survive and win in a nuclear environment by developing doctrine organizations training products and equipment for nuclear defense and nuclear retaliation. Minimizing the impact of nuclear weapons through contamination avoidance protection and decontamination. Employing smoke and flame are part of the operational options. This manual FM 3-3-1 defines and clarified the entire process of nuclear contamination avoidance. It details the NBC Warning and Reporting System NBCWRS how to locate and identify nuclear contamination and how to operate in and around nuclear contamination. This manual is designed and intended to be an easy-to-read step-by-step manual depicting the manual method of calculating nuclear contamination avoidance procedures for chemical officers and NCOs at brigade level and high organizations. The manual addresses vulnerability analysis nuclear operations Fallout prediction Radiation Monitoring Reconnaissance Nuclear Defense Neutron-Induced Radiation Civilian Radiation Hazards Operational Exposure Guidance Shielding Nuclear Burst Effects Nuclear Effects on Electronics Wind Vector Planning Nomograms and Nuclear Operations Checklists.

"By this time sophisticated aerial photography from kites balloons and even pigeons had already developed significantly thanks to a century of experiments by scientists and militaries. In The Balloon Prospect Caren Kaplan writes that balloons were used for military reconnaissance as early as June 26th 1794 when the French Revolutionary Army floated balloons over their engagement with the Austrian-Dutch coalition in Fleurus Belgium. Aerial reconnaissance from balloons also saw use in the American Civil War the Spanish-American War the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and in the Boer War. Balloons and other methods of aerial photography began to give way to airplanes in the Italo-Turkish War in which aircraft were used for the first time for military reconnaissance directing naval gunfire. At the 1913 Paris Aero Salon French engineers revealed the first airplane to be equipped with a specially configured aerial camera. By 1914 each of Europes major powers had developed dedicated aircraft corps for aerial intelligence. The single use in war for which the machines of the Military Wing of the Royal Flying Corps were designed and the men trained was let it be repeated reconnaissance It was designed to operate with an expeditionary force and to furnish that force with eyes wrote Walter Raleigh in The War in the Air: In Being the Story of the Part Played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force 1922.

This manual establishes Army doctrine for operations in a nuclear environment and details the doctrine for integrating nuclear consideration into all other aspects of the battlefield. It also describes the Army's role in nominating tragets at corps and above levels and protecting the force from the effects of a nuclear weapons detonation. Nuclear employment in a theater of operations has theater strategic operational and tactical results; execution has national strategic implications. The corps' role is to function at either the tactical or operational levels of war. At the tactical level the corps accomplishes missions as Field Manual FM 199-15 describes. At the operational level when directed and augmented the corps functions as either the Army force ARFOR the joint force land component command JFLCC or a joint task force JTF. By viewing the corps in its many possible roles the reader can also discern nuclear procedures for echelons above corps EAC and joint missions. This manual can help educate and train commanders and staff at corps and operations levels in nuclear operations and educate and train divisions in nuclear force protection. It is used with Joint Publications JP 3-12.1 3-12.2 SRD or 3-12.3 and serves as the bridge between joint and Army doctrine. It is also uses with FM 25-50 which contains training doctrine for nuclear survivability. Among the topics addressed are: Nuclear Weapons; Joint Nuclear Doctrine; Deterrence Proliferation Weapons Effects Survivability Countermeasures Nuclear Operations Targeting Battlefield Operating Systems Nuclear Support Nuclear Tactics; Tactical Operations; Military Training; Nuclear Combat; Theater Nuclear; Nuclear Environment FM-100-30 Mobile Defense Command and Control Decision-Making Collateral-Damage and Troop Safety. A tactical nuclear weapon TNW or non-strategic nuclear weapon NSNW is a nuclear weapon that is designed to be used on a battlefield in military situations mostly with friendly forces in proximity and perhaps even on contested friendly territory. Generally smaller in explosive power they are defined in contrast to strategic nuclear weapons which are designed mostly to be targeted at the enemy interior far away from the war front against military bases cities towns arms industries and other hardened or larger-area targets to damage the enemy's ability to wage war. No tactical nuclear weapon has ever been used in a combat situation. Tactical nuclear weapons include gravity bombs short-range missiles artillery shells land mines depth charges and torpedoes which are equipped with nuclear warheads. Also in this category are nuclear armed ground-based or shipborne surface-to-air missiles SAMs and air-to-air missiles. Small two-man portable or truck-portable tactical weapons such as the Special Atomic Demolition Munition and the Davy Crockett recoilless rifle have been developed but the difficulty of combining sufficient yield with portability could limit their military utility. In wartime such explosives could be used for demolishing "chokepoints" to enemy offensives such as at tunnels narrow mountain passes and long viaducts. There is no exact definition of the "tactical" category in terms of range or yield of the nuclear weapon. The yield of tactical nuclear weapons is generally lower than that of strategic nuclear weapons but larger ones are still very powerful and some variable-yield warheads serve in both roles. Some tactical nuclear weapons have specific features meant to enhance their battlefield characteristics such as variable yield which allow their explosive power to be varied over a wide range for different situations or enhanced radiation weapons which are meant to maximize ionizing radiation exposure and to minimize blast effects. Tactical nuclear weapons were a large part of the peak nuclear weapons stockpile levels during the Cold War. U.S. Army Headquarters paperback
