Beale Air Force Base, CA: United States Air Force, Headquarters 4126th Strategic Wing (H) (SAC), Deputy Commander for Operations, 1962. Presumed First Edition, First printing this (part of original distribution list). One sheet (information on both sides) with photograph of Wendover weapons range with Wing Standardization Division recommended ballistic settings. One sheet with information on each side and a black and white photograph of the Wendover Weapons Range Complex stapled to it at the upper left corner. Both have multiple holes punched on the left side. Scarce surviving SAC ephemera. The purpose of this DCOL was to establish areas for emergency jettisoning of BMA 72 while flying normal training missions. The Wendover weapons range complex had been selected at the emergency area for GAM 72s. This area was to be utilized only as a last resort after all normal and emergency procedures failed to configure the aircraft for a safe landing at its home base. The procedures to be used are presented. Aircrews were directed to effect jettison at the lowest possible altitude commensurate with aircraft and range safety. The photograph presents ballistics, identifies some salvo areas. The data was clearly stated as not to be used for bombing. The origins of the 4126 Strategic Wing can be traced to 1 July 1956 when Continental Air Command transferred Beale Air Force Base California to Strategic Air Command (SAC) which put Beale under the control of the 4126th Air Base Squadron to prepare the base for SAC's plan to disperse its Boeing B-52 Stratofortress heavy bombers over a larger number of bases, thus making it more difficult for the Soviet Union to knock out the entire fleet with a surprise first strike. As SAC's strength at Beale expanded, the 4126th became the 4126th Combat Support Group on 8 February 1959 and was assigned to the newly organized 4126th Strategic Wing. The wing gained its first operational squadron on 1 April 1959. More

Washington DC: United States Air Force, Headquarters, Air Force Studies and Analysis, 1976. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Stapled at upper left corner. [1], ii, 32, [1] pages. Printed single sided. Tables. RARE! OCLC World Cat reports: 1 edition published in 1976 in English and held by 4 WorldCat member libraries worldwide. This paper assesses the Quanbeck-Wood report, which proposes to replace the concept of manned aircraft penetrating hostile airspace with air launched cruise missiles launched from aircraft flying outside of the defended airspace. The discussion contained herein deals with the relative effectiveness of either force concept in the context of the strategic nuclear mission. Air launched cruise missiles are small, pilotless, fan jet powered aircraft using advanced propulsion and guidance techniques and modern structural design and materials. In this paper, such cruise missiles are used exclusively with nuclear warheads to attack fixed, preplanned targets on the ground. Nothing in this commentary should be construed to denigrate the value of cruise missile technology as it might apply to other missions, to include a wide variety of nuclear and non-nuclear roles. Such subjects were not addressed in the Quanbeck-Wood report. The Air Force believes that there are promising applications for air launched cruise missiles in many areas. This assessment summarizes the study conclusions and recommendations, and provides a comparison with the Joint Strategic Bomber Study. The assessment concludes with a review of the Quanbeck-Wood study threat projections and examples of inconsistencies contained in the report. 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

This disseminates the revised first aid procedure for nerve agent poisoning and was considered critical in view of the recent replacement of nerve agent antidote with atropine. This manual tells how units of the United States Army can use the principles and techniques of nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) defense in the conduct of combat operations. The probability that the U.S. Army will be outnumbered at the start of any future war makes it essential that every unit gain the highest level of survival proficiency and basic operational skills. The concepts of training to fight and factually fighting under NBC conditions are the same. This manual services two purposes. It provides doctrine and guidance for the commander and his staff in NBC defense, an d it provides the technical information necessary for chemical personnel and other personnel assigned NBC defense duties to evaluate NBC situations and advise their commander.
