This history celebrates the Bicentennial of The Judge Advocate General's Corps of the United States Army. Army lawyers have been with their commanders in that national service since the beginning: the institution of the Army lawyer is but 23 days younger than the Army of 1775 commanded by George Washington. This is a history of the law they practiced. Many kinds of lawyers appear here in text and vignette. Wells Blodgett, Blanton Winship and Eugene Caffey were combat soldiers of great distinction, wearers of the Medal of Honor, There are "great" names, too: John Marshall and Felix Frankfurter of the Supreme Court; great law teachers such as John Chipman Gray, Edmund Morgan, and John Henry Wigmore; and such prominent public servants as Henry L. Stimson, and Leon Jaworski. The American military legal system both produced and is the product of great lawyers. More

Washington DC: United States Army, Center of Military History, 1989. Facsimile edition. Trade paperback. xvi, [2], 741, [1] pages. Footnotes. Charts (some folding). Tables. Index. This publication replaces DA Pam 20-212, November 1955. Names of two previous owners in ink on title page. This study is essentially a treatment of the manpower aspects of military mobilization. Mobilization is the assembling and organizing of troops, materiel, and equipment for active military service in time of war or other national emergency; it is the basic factor on which depends the successful prosecution of any war. The purpose of this study is to provide staff officers, students at Army schools and other interested persons with usable and detailed information on the procedures of past mobilizations and the lessons learned. The footnotes will guide anyone who wishes to make a more complete study of individual phases of the subject matter. Its primary objective is to provide a more comprehensive record of military mobilizations in the United States for the use of General Staff officers and students in the Army school system than has been available before in a single work. It was hoped that this study would assist mobilization planners of the future. The material was also expected to assist the thoughtful civilian in understanding some of the basic problems of national security. More
Germany: Manufacturer Gerecke+Lauer GmbH, 1986. Military Equipment. Sturdy piece of US Army combat equipment, dispenses plastic placards permitting the marking of contaminated areas: radiological, biological, and chemical. A sticker on the piece dates it from March 1986, manufactured in Germany. This equipment show some wear, scratches, soiling, etc. This marking set provides the necessary equipment to mark contaminated areas as defined by FM 3-3. Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense (CBRN defense or CBRNE defense) are protective measures taken in situations in which chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear warfare (including terrorism) hazards may be present. CBRN defense consists of CBRN passive protection, contamination avoidance and CBRN mitigation. A CBRN incident differs from a hazardous material incident in both scope (i.e., CBRN can be a mass casualty situation) and intent. CBRN incidents are responded to under the assumption that they are intentional and malicious; evidence preservation and perpetrator apprehension are of greater concern than with HAZMAT incidents. Signs used for marking contaminated areas are standard throughout NATO in color, shape, and size. A contamination marking set is available for use by U.S. and NATO forces. Container holds 20 marking flags: 20 white flags for marking nuclear contamination, 20 blue flags for marking biological contamination, and 20 yellow flags for marking chemical contamination. There is a carrying container/straps that can be adjusted for front or back wear. This equipment is indicative of post-Vietnam, pre-Gulf War tools for the NBC mission. More
