Volume Three: Guarding The Channel Ports.
This publication prescribes guidance for leaders and crewmen of
mortar squads. It concerns mortar crew training, and it is used
with the applicable technical manuals (TMs) and Army Training and
Evaluation Programs (ARTEPs). It presents practical solutions to
assist in the timely delivery of accurate mortar fires, but does
not discuss all possible situations. Local requirements may dictate
minor variations from the methods and techniques described herein.
However, principles should not be violated by modification of
techniques and methods. The scope of this publication includes
mortar crew training at the squad level. The 60-mm mortar, M224;
81-mm mortar, M252; and 120-mm mortars, M120/M121 are discussed, to
include nomenclature, sighting, equipment, characteristics,
capabilities, and ammunition.

In 1975, U.S. Army Center of Military History commissioned a report
on the History of Strategic Air and Ballistic Missile Defense,
Volume I (1945-1955) and Volume II (1956-1972), which was part of a
larger study of the strategic arms competition that developed
between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II.
The report addresses each country's approach to civil defense
against the threat from the air and each country's emphasis on
specific elements of air defense strategy at various periods
between 1945 and 1972. Two central questions concerned the U.S. and
Soviet defense planners: "How might we be attacked?" and "How shall
we defend our country?"

Performed During The Years 1825 And 1826.
The Shelf2Life Weapons and Warfare Collection is an intriguing set
of pre-1923 materials focused on the art and science of weaponry
and its use in wars. From the study of topography, field artillery
weapons and types of projectiles to military strategies and
tactics, these titles offer a behind-the-scenes look at the
extensive preparations for battle. Significant attention is given
to training, including photographs and descriptions of drill
instruction, the study of fire discipline and detailed directions
on cleaning and care of equipment, highlighting the meticulous
precision and precautions soldiers practiced to prevent disastrous
errors on the battlefield. The Weapons and Warfare Collection
provides historians, researchers and militarists with a broader
understanding of the intense preparation and training required to
effectively utilize weaponry in the theater of war.

that the booji has attracted very little notice, and that if its
merits are to be computed by its popularity, the care tha.t has
been bestowed on this edition might as well be spared. Such, at
least, has been its fate in America; whether it has met with better
success in any other country we have no means of knowing.
chapter{Section 4THE DEERSLAYER. CHAPTER I. " There is a pleasure
in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in
its roar: I love not man the less, but nature more, From these our
interviews, in which I steal, From all I may be, or have been
before, To mingle with the universe, and feel What I can ne'er
express, yet cannot all conceal.' Child Harold. On the human
imagination, events produce the effects of time. Thus, lie who has
travelled far and seen much, is apt to fancy that he has lived
long; and the history that most abounds in important incidents,
soonest assumes the aspect of antiquity. In no other way can we
account for the venerable air that is already gathering around
American annals. When the mind reverts to the earliest days of
colonial history, the period seems remote and obscure, the thousand
changes that thicken along the links of recollections, throwing
back the origin of the nation to a day so distant as seemingly to
reach the mists of time; and yet four lives of ordinary duration
would suffice to transmit, from mouth to mouth, in the form of
tradition, all that civilized man has achieved within the limits of
the republic. Although New York alone possesses a population
materially exceeding that of either of the four smallest kingdoms
of Europe, or materially exceeding that of the entire Swiss
Confederation, it is little more than tw...
