This is an important Vietnam War era military manual focused on soldier's training for combat. This manual supersedes FM 21-75, 14 June 1957, including C 1, 26 March 195. , This manual is dedicated to the soldier - the key to success on the battlefield. Wars are not won by machines and weapons but by the soldiers who use them. Even the best equipped army cannot win without motivated and well-trained soldiers. If the US Army is to win the next war, its soldiers must be motivated by inspired leadership, and they must know how to do their jobs and survive on the battlefield. This is the soldier's field manual. It tells the soldier how to perform the combat skills needed to survive on the battlefield. These are basic skills that must be learned by soldiers in all military occupational specialties. If the enemy can see you, he can hit you with his fire. So you must be concealed from enemy observation and have cover from enemy fire. When the terrain does not provide natural cover and concealment, you must prepare your cover and use natural and man-made materials to camouflage yourself, your equipment, and your position. This chapter provides guidance on the preparation and use of cover, concealment, and camouflage.

Ephemera. Zustand: Good. Supersedes GTA 3-6-2, June 1975. 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. NBC has been updated to be described as Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense (CBRN defense or CBRNE defense) is 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. This ephemeral training aid was distributed to US Army Training and Audio-visual Support Centers (TASC). Distribution was restricted because it contained technical or operational information that was for official government use only. Distribution was limited to US government agencies. Request for release outside the US government needed to be made to HQ TRADOC, Fort Monroe, Virginia. Due to its age and advances in technical and operational information, it is understood that this distribution restriction no longer applies.

A Cannon Fire Direction Specialist is a member of the Army's field artillery team. Artillery are weapons that fire large ammunition or missiles and are used by the Army to support infantry and tank units in combat, as well as protect land and sea forces from air attack. The Cannon Fire Direction Specialist is primarily responsible for leading, supervising or serving as a member of a field artillery cannon unit. Here are some duties of a Cannon Fire Direction Specialist: Establish, maintain and operate communications systems; Assist in the preparation of computer centers for operation; Prepare field artillery tactical data systems for operation; Determine target location using computers or manual calculations. Requirements: Cannon Fire Direction Specialists must have the physical stamina to perform strenuous activities for long periods without rest. They're also required to have normal color vision in order to identify color-coded ammunition. Job training for a Cannon Fire Direction Specialist consists of nine weeks of Basic Training, where you'll learn basic Soldiering skills, and seven weeks, four days of Advanced Individual Training. Part of this time is spent in a classroom and part in the field under simulated combat. Some of the skills you'll learn are: Methods of computing target locations; Ammunition-handling techniques; Gun, missile and rocket system operations; and Artillery tactics.

TCs contain material that is directive or informational, is transitory, or needs to be published only once. Circulars expire 2 years from the date of issue or earlier. The Army subsequently issued Field Manual FM 3-97.61 Military Mountaineering. Military mountaineering is a means to enable a commander to negotiate complex terrain, both ascent and descent in mountainous environments, using ropes and other specialized equipment, Military mountaineers understand how environmental factors and terrain can be overcome and used to gain an advantage over enemy forces. Topics such as intelligence collection, offensive and defensive postures, sustainment operations, direct and indirect fires, and communications are examined by military mountaineers. Mountainous environments have variables that elevate the risk level because of the lack of mobility or how quickly the weather can change, while the same mission in other terrain would be low risk and routine. Basic Military Mountaineering training provides soldiers in the fundamental knowledge and skills required to successfully conduct small-unit operations in typical mountainous terrain found throughout the world. Advanced training builds on previous instruction and trains soldiers in the knowledge and skills required to lead small units and teams over technically difficult, hazardous or exposed mountainous terrain during summer months. The course is intended for units or individuals who will conduct operations in mountainous terrain and must operate independently of major units or organizations, or who will lead larger organizations over technically hazardous terrain. This is a reprint which includes current pages from C1.

Cover has some wear, and soiling/staining. Marked For Official Use Only, but this limitation is understood to no longer apply. This pamphlet provides an unclassified basis for the utilization of atomic weapons in courses at the various schools and in training. The effects data herein are based primarily on the unclassified data contained in The Effects of Atomic Weapons and in Radiological Defense, Volume II, but also on other unclassified sources. The methods of casualty and damage estimation herein have been so designed as to provide an understanding of the role of target analysis in the tactical use of atomic weapons without at the same time burdening nonspecialized students with the details of a comprehensive target analysis. It is intended that this text be utilized for classroom purposes. The text has been reviewed by Headquarters, Armed Forces Special Weapons Project. The damage estimation system it contains is based on certain material produced by the SANDIA CORPORATION. While the atomic bomb is admittedly a weapon of great power, it is not to be regarded as an absolute weapon-that is to say, it is not a weapon against which there is no defense. Throughout history, the introduction of every new weapon has been followed by the development of defensive measures which hare lessened its effectiveness. However, the tactical utilization of atomic weapons requires an understanding of the characteristics and effects of these weapons under various circumstances. In the event of a future war, a commander must consider the enemy's use of atomic weapons in his own strategic plans or tactical decisions. He must know what precautionary measures will minimize the hazard to his own forces when taking advantage of the situation created by an atomic attack on the enemy. Further, in an emergency, each member of the Armed Services may have to act, possibly without warning, for his own protection. The explosion of an atomic bomb resembles that of an ordinary high explosive (HE) bomb in the respect that the explosion is due to the rapid release of a large amount of energy in a small space.

This bulletin supersedes TB 746-95-1, 12 October 1971, and TB 746-95-2, 24 August 1964. Cover has some wear and soiling. This Technical Bulletin describes the colors and patterns to be used for the camouflage of ARMCOM equipment which require camouflage pattern painting and provides a uniform system of marking such equipment. Additional camouflage patterns will be added as new equipment is developed. Nuclear weapons and ammunition (Class V) are not included in this bulletin. Military camouflage is the use of camouflage by a armed force to protect personnel and equipment from observation by enemy forces. In practice, this means applying colour and materials to military equipment of all kinds, including vehicles, ships, aircraft, gun positions and battledress, either to conceal it from observation (crypsis), or to make it appear as something else (mimicry). The French slang word camouflage came into common English usage during World War I when the concept of visual deception developed into an essential part of modern military tactics. In that war, long-range artillery and observation from the air combined to expand the field of fire, and camouflage was widely used to decrease the danger of being targeted or to enable surprise. As such, military camouflage is a form of military deception. Camouflage for equipment and positions was extensively developed for military use by the French in 1915, soon followed by other World War I armies. In both world wars, artists were recruited as camouflage officers. Reprint which includes current pages from Change 1.

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.

This test field manual represents the state-of-knowledge, state-of-practice, and state-of doctrine for the U.S. Army toward the end of the Vietnam War. Equipment addressed reflect, at an unclassifed level, the current state-of-the-art in such technologies. S.T.A.N.O. represents Surveillance Target Acquisition and Night Observation. This is a real grouping of technology in our military. The type of equipment included in this grouping are night vision devices, Intrusion detection devices, man portable surveillance radar, laser aiming, ranging and detecting devices, certain specialized optical systems such as stabilized optical monoculars and binoculars. The concept of S.T.A.N.O. evolved from a high tech solution for maximizing intelligence gathering efficiency while minimizing human risk. The term S.T.A.N.O. was first coined by General Westmoreland which represented his perspective of a specialized grouping of technological innovations pertaining to the electronic battlefield. The purpose of this manual was to provide the guidance required for the tactical planning, employment, and management of surveillance, target acquisition, and night operations (STANO) systems at division and lower echelons. STANO is an element of the Intelligence subsystem of the Integrated Battlefield Control System (IBCS). The IBCS is the structural framework of personnel,o organizations, concepts, doctrine and equipment integrating the functions of combat into a coherent system. This document is a field manual (Test) as defined in Army Regulation 310-3. There is no information that this was ever issued as an authorized field manual. This may have been superseded by Surveillance, Target Acquisition, Night Operations, and Countersurveillance (STANOC). United States Army Field Manuals are published by the United States Army's Army Publishing Directorate. As of 27 July 2007, some 542 field manuals were in use. They contain detailed information and how-tos for procedures important to soldiers serving in the field. Starting in 2010, the US Army began review and revision of all of its doctrinal publications, under the initiative "Doctrine 2015". Since then, the most important doctrine have been published in Army Doctrine Publications and Army Doctrine Reference Publications, replacing the former key Field Manuals. Army Techniques Publications, Army Training Circulars, and Army Technical Manuals round out the suite new of doctrinal publications. Not all FMs are being rescinded; 50 select Field Manuals will continue to be published, periodically reviewed and revised.

This manual provides guidance for training Army special operations forces (ARSOF) personnel in the techniques of animal pack transport and for organizing and operating pack animal units. It captures some of the expertise and techniques that have been lost in the United States (U.S.) Army over the last 50 years. The chapters on care, feeding, and veterinary medicine compose a considerable portion of the manual; however, this material is not intended as a substitute for veterinary expertise nor will it make a veterinarian out of the reader. ARSOF personnel must have a rudimentary knowledge of anatomy and physiology, common injuries, diseases, feeding, and watering to properly care for the animals and to avoid abusing them from overloading or overworking. Though many types of beasts of burden may be used for pack transportation, this manual focuses on horses, mules, and a few other animals. One cannot learn how to pack an animal by reading; there is no substitute for having a horse or mule while you practice loading a packsaddle. The manual is useful for anyone going into an environment where these skills are applicable. Field Manual (FM) 31-27 is a guide for ARSOF personnel to use when employed in training or combat situations using pack animals. For millenia, horses carried the armies of the world. Other pack animals, along with horses, carried the heavy loads of food, ammunition, and equipment but horses predominated as the mounts for cavalry and the draft power for heavy artillery and supply wagons. But that all changed during a very short time in the early twentieth century. Rapid mechanization, starting in World War I, transformed armies by substituting machine power for animal power. In the first half of the 20th century, horses and mules, once the mainstay of military transportation, all but disappeared from those roles. The internal combustion engine that emerged in the early 1900s quickly found its way into military equipment and operations. In World War I, trucks greatly reduced the former dependence on horses while tractors were introduced as artillery prime movers and the tank appeared for the first time. Between World Wars I and II, a debate raged over the proper role of armored vehicles for cavalry and infantry support as well as the suitability of motor transportation for supply and artillery under varying conditions. Infantry was augmented by tanks but, for a few decades, horse cavalry continued. By the late 1930s, as World War II loomed, the Cavalry became partially mechanized, expanding that mechanization and joining with tanks to form the Armored Force for World War II. Reconnaissance was transformed by jeeps and motorcycles, as well as aircraft, another role lost by the horse. Except for a few battle zones of exceptionally rugged conditions, legions of pack animals were almost completely replaced by the hundreds of thousands of trucks produced during WW II. A few die-hard Cavalry officers insisted on maintaining a minimal capability to train and manage animals, in case of war in very unfavorable terrain, like Italy or CBI in WW II. This faith was actually rewarded in Afghanistan in 2001-2002 where Special Forces found that the only option for movement in parts of that harsh and rugged land was by horse or mule. Understanding that pack animals have their unique uses, even in a time of computers, lasers, GPS and the stealth bomber, the Dept. of Defense authorized the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center to create a rigorous Animal Packers Course for all the services and the Army Special Forces issued a field manual on the subject.

Artillery are weapons that fire large ammunition or missiles and are used by the Army to support infantry and tank units in combat, as well as protect land and sea forces from air attack. The Cannon Fire Direction Specialist is primarily responsible for leading, supervising or serving as a member of a field artillery cannon unit. This Field Manual reflects the state of the art, the state of knowledge, the state of practice, and the standards of proficiency after the Vietnam War, during the period of the Panama and Grenada operations, and prior to the Persian Gulf wars. Here are some duties of a Cannon Fire Direction Specialist: Establish, maintain and operate communications systems; Assist in the preparation of computer centers for operation; Prepare field artillery tactical data systems for operation; Determine target location using computers or manual calculations. Requirements: Cannon Fire Direction Specialists must have the physical stamina to perform strenuous activities for long periods without rest. They're also required to have normal color vision in order to identify color-coded ammunition. Job training for a Cannon Fire Direction Specialist consists of nine weeks of Basic Training, where you'll learn basic Soldiering skills, and seven weeks, four days of Advanced Individual Training. Part of this time is spent in a classroom and part in the field under simulated combat. Some of the skills you'll learn are: Methods of computing target locations; Ammunition-handling techniques; Gun, missile and rocket system operations; and Artillery tactics.
