Omaha, NE: United States Air Force, Strategic Air Command, 1955. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Single sheet, printed on one side. Format is approximately 10.5 inches by 8 inches. Three hole punched. 1 single sheet, printed on one side. Diagrams and text. At the bottom edge is the following printed notation: 231 (fragment due to punched hole) 1 Mar 1955 RB-52B 52-8710 Punched hole appears to have removed another notation. This material was produced before the Strategic Air Command (SAC) started taking delivery of the aircraft in June 1955. SAC was both a Department of Defense (DoD) Specified Command and a USAF Major Command, responsible for Cold War command and control of two of the three components of the U.S. military's strategic nuclear strike forces, the land-based strategic bomber aircraft and intercontinental ballistic missiles. This sheet is believed to have been produced by the Strategic Air Command, but could be a Boeing produced document. It is extremely rare for any of such technical material associated with a new aircraft to have survived--but the B-52 itself is still flying (albeit with many system changes having occurred). The center of the page is a diagram that starts with the A. R. receiver then addresses the forward landing gear, bomb bay door, and aft landing gear. There are separate diagrams on stabilizer trim, tip gear and spoilers. There is a legend the addresses normal and emergency conditions, normal and emergency slave poser and the Hydraulic pressure supply system. Brakes, Crosswind trim, landing gear actuator, brakes, and steering are identified. Former owner's name in upper right corner. Valuable for content and as a display item. More

Rangers were organized in 1756 by Major Robert Rogers, a native of New Hampshire, who recruited nine companies of American colonists to fight for the British during the French and Indian War. Ranger techniques and methods were an inherent characteristic of the frontiersmen in the colonies, but Major Rogers was the first to capitalize on them and incorporate them into a permanently organized fighting force. His "Standing Orders" were written in the year 1759. Even though they are over 200 years old, they apply just as well to Ranger operations conducted on today's battlefield as they did to the operations conducted by Rogers and his men. More
Manhattan, KS: Sunflower University Press, 1996. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Trade paperback. xvii, [1], Various paginations. Illustrations. Introduction by Ronald Schaffer. Cover has slight wear and sticker residue at back. Name in ink on half-title page. The Small Wars Manual is a United States Marine Corps manual on tactics and strategies for engaging in certain types of military operations. The Marine Corps' role in small wars has a long and complex history. During the early years of the 20th century, the Corps was widely viewed as the nation's overseas police and initial response force. Moreover, the actual execution of these roles were a natural adjunct of the Corps' officially directed mission of sea-based power projection, in turn buttressed by its fundamental expeditionary operational character; i.e., the availability for "sudden and immediate call" More

W: U. S. Department of the Army, 1985. Supersedes GTA 3-6-2, June 1975. Ephemera. Single sheet, printed on both sides, 10 inches by 12 inches. Folded and re-folded so that there are 16 panels, eight on each side. Two panels are for notes and is almost completely blank space. Illustrations. Pencil erasure residue on title panel. The primary means of warning units of an actual or predicted CB hazard is the NBC Warning and Reporting system (NBCWRS). It is a key in limiting the effects of attacks. The NBCWRS allows units to determine required protective measures and plan operations. Units take action depending on the mission and type of hazard present. Affected units alter plans to avoid the hazard. The units can upgrade protective measures and occupy or cross the hazard area. The NBCWRS consists of six reports. Each is standardized. The six standard reports are— NBC 1-Initial report, used for passing basic data compiled at unit level. NBC 2-Report used for passing evaluated data. NBC 3-Report used for immediate warning of predicted contamination and hazard areas. NBC 4-Report used for passing monitoring and survey results. NBC 5-Report used for passing information on areas of actual contamination. NBC 6-Report used for passing detailed information on chemical or biological attacks. The reports use standard formats. The warning and reporting system is based on a code letter system. More
