On 31 July 1942 the Department of War recognized the need for a single manager of Army transportation and created a new branch the Transportation Corps. Since the Revolutionary War Army transportation had evolved through two branches the Quartermaster Corps and the Corps of Engineers. The demands of World War I made the Army first realize its need for a single manager for military transportation. So began an evolution over the next quarter century that culminated in the birth of the Transportation Corps during the opening months of World War II. The War Department directed the Quartermaster Corps to transfer the functions and responsibilities of truck and aviation units to the Transportation Corps by General Orders No. 77 on 24 July 1946. The same year the Transportation School consolidated all training except for drivers at Fort Eustis Virginia because of its intermodal rail and sea capability. In 1950 the Army turned over its deep-draft ships to the Military Sealift Command so the Army no longer had the largest navy in the United States military. That same year Brigadier General William B. Bunker convinced the Chief of Transportation Major General Frank S. Besson Jr. of the importance of helicopters in logistics. As a result in May the Army approved the organization of five helicopter companies with the first the 6th Transportation Company Helicopter activated in July 1952. In 1954 the Engineer Corps turned its landing craft over to the Transportation Corps making the Transportation Corps responsible for all modes of Army transportation. Coincidentally the Navy lifted the size limit on Army watercraft allowing the Army to build landing craft utility LCUs. This led the Transportation Corps to activate the 159th Boat Battalion. The Soviet threat against Europe provided the peacetime Army an enemy to plan against. In anticipation of the needs of the Army the Chief of Transportation directed and championed the development of military transportation. Contingency planners assumed the worst-case scenario in which the Soviet Union would use its bombers or worse yet its nuclear arsenal to destroy the fixed ports in France thus severing the vital lines of communication at their European end. This contingency required the Army to rely heavily on over-the-beach operations. The Transportation Corps is a Force Sustainment branch of the U.S. Army headquartered is now at Fort Lee Virginia and is responsible for the movement of personnel and matériel by truck rail air and sea. The Transportation Corps provides a full spectrum of transportation capabilities at the tactical operational and strategic levels of war. The Transportation School trains Soldiers to operate and maintain Army tactical trucks material handling equipment and watercraft. The school trains Transportation Operations Traffic Management Convoy Operations Cargo Transfer Cargo Documentation Movement Control Operation of Heavy Material Handling Equipment Sailing and Maintenance of Army Vessels and Unloading Aircraft Ships Railcars and Trucks.

Figures including photographs and drawings/diagrams and tables. Name in ink on front cover. Cover has some wear and soiling. This publication was provided for resident instruction at the U. S Army Missile and Munitions Center and School. It reflects the then current thought of the school and conformed to printed Department of the Army doctrine as closely as possible. The mission of the US Army Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center & School is to ensure the combat commander is supported during Army joint and combined operations by developing doctrine materiel CSS concepts requirements and organizational structure. The School is also tasked with producing mission focused motivated ordnance officers warrant officers soldiers and civilians who are technically competent in the munitions management explosive ordnance disposal electronic and missile maintenance and test measurement and diagnostic equipment arenas. Redstone Arsenal RSA is a United States Army post and a census-designated place CDP adjacent to Huntsville in Madison County Alabama United States and is part of the Huntsville-Decatur Combined Statistical Area. The Arsenal is a garrison for a number of tenants including the United States Army Materiel Command Army's Aviation and Missile Command the Missile Defense Agency of the Department of Defense and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. RSA has benefited from decisions by the Defense Base Realignment and Closure Commission. The Redstone Arsenal CDP had a population of 1946 as of the 2010 census. The base contains a government and contractor workforce that averages 36000 to 40000 personnel daily. Originally a chemical weapons manufacturing facility for World War II in the immediate post-war era it became home to the German rocket scientists that were brought to the US as part of Operation Paperclip. The team first worked on ballistic missiles starting with V-2 rocket derivatives before moving on to a series of ever larger designs. Many of their tests were carried out at White Sands Missile Range and flights between the two locations were common. In late 1956 the Army was relieved of most of its ballistic missiles in favor of similar weapons operated by the US Air Force. The German design team was then spun off to become part of the newly founded NASA. Redstone served as the primary site for space launch vehicle design into the 1960s. In March 1952 the commanding officer at Redstone Arsenal officially established the Provisional Redstone Ordnance School. In December the Ordnance Guided Missile School OGMS was established taking over the provisional operation. The OGMS greatly expanded through the years occupying a large land area with many buildings and providing a wide variety of missile and munitions courses for thousands of students from the U.S. as well as many foreign countries. The name was later changed to the Missile and Munitions Center & School in 1966 and then to the Ordnance Missile and Munitions Center and School in the mid-1980s. In 1994 the School Brigade disbanded and was replaced by the reformed 59th Ordnance Brigade which had previously disbanded in Europe in 1992. The school was then renamed the Ordnance Munitions and Electronic Maintenance School in 2002 and moved to Fort Lee in 2011. U. S. Army Missile and Munitions Center and School paperback

Tufts Medical School Huge Class Portrait with Two Graduating Female Students 1923

1923225531923. Women's HistoryWomen's EducationWomen in Science and Medicine Tufts Medical School 1923 graduating class portrait featuring two female graduates. Panoramic silver gelatin photograph. 1923. Approx. 19 x 7.5 in. framed to 22 x 10.5 in. Dark wood frame hanging wire attached. Panoramic class portrait capturing the 1923 graduating class of Tufts Medical School notably featuring two female graduates at a time when women still constituted a small minority in the field of medicine. The image shows 44 students and faculty in full academic regalia with the two women clearly visible among their peers positioned in the front row and at the far left both wearing the same cap and gown ensemble as their male counterparts. Their inclusion offers a rare and tangible visual record of the slow but growing inclusion of women in American medical education in the early 20th century a development that remained the subject of considerable social resistance. While coeducation in medical schools became more common after World War I women remained significantly underrepresented. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges women made up just 4.4% of all U.S. medical school students in 1920. Tufts Medical School which has remained coeducational since its founding in 1893 was among the progressive institutions that accepted female students early on. The presence of women in this image is particularly significant against the backdrop of evolving gender roles following the passage of the 19th Amendment just three years earlier in 1920. Their appearance in a class photo from a prestigious medical institution not affirms the inroads women made in education during this era. Lower right corner includes the imprint of "Rowe Photo 35 Court St. Boston". Photo retains strong contrast and detail. Wood Frame shows scattered scuffing. Overall very good condition. An exceptional image of early women physicians breaking barriers in a male-dominated profession. unknown
