The issue of the use of human volunteers was considered by the Armed Forces Medical Policy Council during the early 1950 s. The Council concluded that essential data could not be obtained unless human volunteers were used, and the use of humans in medical research was authorized. By 1954, the Chemical Corps (formerly CWS) had established a framework within which to conduct human experimentation, but it lacked an adequate pool of volunteers. In 1955, it was decided that the most practical source of volunteers would be enlisted men stationed at Army installations in the vicinity of Edgewood Arsenal. 

Nearly a hundred years elapsed, after the invention of Lieut Moor, before interest in electric detonators was revived in USA. This was done during WWII when US Armed Forces began to fly electrical systems to perform fuzing and firing tasks. The first Army Ordnance Corps electric detonator, for use in fuzes, was the M36. It is described here in Section 5. 

Accdg to Ref 2, p 225, the Japanese Armed Forces developed both before and during WW11 a fairly extensive line of Grenades. This type of Ordnance primarily used by ground Forces was developed by the Army, but was also used by the Navy Ground Defense Units. Many Grenades were improvised and some of them, such...

Nou Expenditure by armed forces in countries where they were operating, plus expenditure in other countries (mainly the United States) on supplies shipped direct to armies and therefore not included in the trade returns, minus gifts from abroad from 1914, minus expenditure of American troops in Britain in 1917-18. 

The biggest break in the British way of warfare in the first half of the twentieth century related to the balance between loans or subsidies, and supplies, for allies on the one hand, and the size of the army on the other. In the First World War Britain not only adopted her traditional role of paymaster of the Allied coalition but she also put an army of unprecedented size into the field. The attempt to do both was beyond her economic power, and the role of paymaster had to be ceded to the United States in 1917. The loss of wealth left Britain in no position to be a major source of subsidies if she was also to maintain substantial armed forces of her own again. 

I hope that this book will be of interest to everyone involved with HEMs irrespective of their background R D laboratories, universities and institutes, production agencies, quality assurance agencies, homeland security, forensic laboratories, chemical industries and armed forces (army, navy and air force). This book will also be of immense use to organizations dealing with the production of commercial explosives and allied chemicals.

Dr. Randolph earned a bachelor of science degree in chemistry and biology from Wayland College in Texas. He also holds a Ph.D. in experimental pathology from the Bowman Gray School of Medicine at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He was introduced to his scientific career in clinical laboratory science at the Armed Forces Academy of Health Sciences, San Antonio, Texas during a 4-year tour of duty in the U.S. Army between 1972 and 1976. 

Zyklon B was scarce and expensive, and was needed everywhere to combat epidemics such as typhus, including in the army and German-allied armed forces, so that any avoidable squandering of it for other purposes would have been avoided—even, and especially, at Auschwitz, where typhus threatened not only the lives of the inmates, but also the guards and civilians entering the camp or who lived in the vicinity. In plain English, this means that the typhus epidemic in Auschwitz concentration camp threatened the extremely important production of the war industries located in... 

The Armed Forces have a considerable interest in the oxidative degradation of foods since they need to be able to store foods for long periods of time. For this reason, the US Army Research Office aided in the organization of a symposium entitled "Autoxidation in Food and Biological Systems" that was held in Natick, Massachusetts in October 1979. The proceedings of this symposium were published, with 33 contributions from leading research groups (6fi) ...
