During the early 1970s, the necessary telecommunications technology became available with packet switching. ARPANet, the first operational packet-switched digital communications network, was implemented by the U.S. Department of Defense. Commercial systems (eg. Telenet, TYMNET, and GENet) became available shortiy thereafter.

Military munitions. Military munitions are all ammunition products and components produced for or used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) or U.S. Armed Services for national defense and security. Unused or defective munitions are solid wastes when abandoned (i.e., disposed of, burned, incinerated) or treated prior to disposal rendered nonrecyclable or nonuseable through deterioration or declared a waste by an authorized military official. Used (i.e., fired or detonated) munitions may also be solid wastes if collected for storage, recycling, treatment, or disposal. 

The primary document outlining risk assessment methods in the U.S. Department of Defense is a Military Standard, Ref. 39. This document requires a well-documented system safety program, based on risk assessment methods to be included in all new Department of Defense systems and facilities. Hazards analyses of the systems are mandated by this publication. 

Drugs There is an antitoxin stored at the CDC. To arrange to use this antitoxin, call your state health department (or CDC at 404-639-2206 or 404-639-3753 workdays, or call weekends or evenings at 404-639-2888). This chemotherapy (antitoxin) available from CDC is a licensed trivalent equine antitoxin for serotypes A, B, and E. There is no reversal of botulism disease with this drug, but the antitoxin does usually prevent further nerve damage. The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has a heptavalent equine despeciated antitoxin for serotypes A - G (IND). DOD also has pentavalent toxoid (vaccine) for serotypes A - E (IND). The currently recommended schedule is for use at zero, two, and twelve weeks with a one year booster. This vaccine is supposed to induce solidly protective antitoxin levels in greater that 90 percent of those vaccinated after one year.

In 1978, the U.S. Department of Defense began manufacturing military ammunition using depleted U-238, since it had more than 700,000 tons of this byproduct material left from nuclear weapon and nuclear power production. The material was attractive for ammunition production since it had no other use, cost nothing to produce, and is pyrophoric (bursts into flames on contact with a target). 

Hundreds of biological agents are candidates for terrorist weapons however, some are more likely than others. The U.S. Department of Defense published a list of the 17 most likely biological agents that fall into three categories ... 

In 1996 Congress enacted two laws, Public Law 104-201 (authorization) and Public Law 104-208 (appropriation), mandating that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) assess technology alternatives to the baseline incineration system developed by the Army for the demilitarization of assembled chemical weapons and that it conduct demonstration tests for at least two of them. The laws included the following stipulations ... 

This section of the handbook contains field site information. Most of the worldwide summaries were extracted from an lEA paper. Information on the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Fuel Cell Demonstration was taken from the following web site www.dodfuelcell.com. Finally, Fuel Cell Energy, IFC, and Siemens Westinghouse provided information on their field sites. The IFC PAFC summary includes a number of projects reported by DoD. In the DoD demonstration program, a total of 30 PAFC units were installed at DoD sites across the United States. These were model B and C PC-25 units. 

Johnston Atoll consists of Johnston Island and three much smaller nearby islands that function primarily as nesting sites for various seabird species. The entire atoll complex, including Johnston Island, is managed jointly by the U.S. Department of Defense and the Fish and Wildlife Service as a national wildlife refuge.

According to the vendor, the approximate cost of using organoclay to remove oil and grease from wastewater at the U.S. Department of Defense s (DOD s) Hill Air Force Base in Utah was 0.55 to 0.65 per 1000 gal. The influent water contained grease, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and heavy metals. It is not clear whether this cost estimate was for the entire treatment system or only for oil and grease removal (D149001).
