Besides these speciaUy-designed decontaminants and kits there are a number of commercially available materials that wiU partiaUy decontaminate chemical agents. Such materials are Hsted in the US. Army Yield Manual FM 3 —5, NBC Decontamination. [Pg.404]

Fluorine-containing rubbers were originally developed during the search for fluid-resisting elastomers which could be used over a wide temperature range. Much of the initial developmental work was a result of contracts placed by the US Army and Air Force. Whilst the eurrent commercial materials are very expensive compared with general purpose rubbers they find a number of both military and non-military applications, particularly in the area of seals and 0-rings.

Modern materials handling techniques in US Army Ammunition Plants are detailed in the Refs given under Modernization Engineering Project for US Army Ammunition Plants in this Vol, A study of materials handling at the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, carried out under the above project, is reported in Ref 6. The principal objectives of this study were to develop recommendations to modernize materials handling in a cost effective and safe manner. [Pg.60]

The use of nuclear techniques for the detection of buried expls (in mines) has been investigated by the US Army over the past 25 years. The basic approach is the use of a direct beam of highly penetrating radiation to irradiate the soil and the measurement of a reflected, scattered, induced or secondary signal to indicate the presence of a buried mine. A complete historical review and analysis of this work has been prepared by Coleman et al (Ref 18), A brief summary of the highlights of the overall effort is provided here... [Pg.379]

Of these neutron interactions, those that produce prompt-7 rays were evaluated as the most feasible for mine detection. As discussed in the Introduction, we define a prompt 7-ray as one which is produced as a direct result of the primary neutron interaction, usually within nanoseconds of that initial event. Such reactions are obviously attractive because they can best satisfy the desired rapid sweep rate over a minefield. The three specific neutron-prompt gamma reactions that were intensively investigated by the US Army are listed below ... [Pg.379]

History. The US Army organization that formerly, for over 100 years, had responsibility for the design, manufacture and procurement from private industry of weapons, ammunition and vehicles, for the training of personnel in their use, and for their storage, issue and maintenance. The Ordnance Department also served both the Navy and Air Force as directed by higher authority... [Pg.426]

In the early years of its history the US Army functioned without a distinct ordnance branch. At first, in 1775, ordnance was the responsibility of a Military Stores Committee then, from 1776 to 1812, of an officer titled the Commissary of Artillery Stores and a secret committee under a Board of War and Ordnance ... [Pg.427]

The formation of the Ordnance Department resulted from four events following cessation of hostilities in 1784. In 1785, the Secretary of War was charged with taking into his care all military stores, equipment, and supplies of the US Army. Second, a Surveyor of Ordnance was authorized in 1789. Third, Congress provided for the erection and repair of magazines and arsenals, and for the establishment of national armories. Fourth, in 1795, a Purveyor of Public Supplies was appointed to conduct the procurement of all military and naval stores necessary for the service of the USA. Finally, the establishment of the Ordnance Department as a separate corps was effected by Congressional Act of 14 May 1812... [Pg.427]

Based on reports and recommendations of the Army Materiel Acquisition Review Committee (AMARC) on 1 April 1974, a major reorganization of AMC was instituted for completion within four years (Ref 4). The concept of separate development and logistic centers was replaced with Research and Development (R D) Commands or Materiel Readiness Commands, under the US Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM).

Munition Plant Modernization Program. Both the US Army and the Navy have extensive plant modernization and pollution abatement programs planned and underway, and the waste-water picture is changing rapidly. So rapidly, in fact, that field data are out of date by the time they can be put into a report. Perhaps the best way to present the story is to force-fit all information into one of three time eras ... [Pg.799]

The primary mixt widely used by the US Army for small arms ammo in the early period of 1900 was based on Mercury Fulminate (MF) and is believed to be of Austrian origin (Ref 2), The most widely used formula is reported to have been as follows ... [Pg.850]

Some time later, circa 1917, the US Army changed to a non-mercuric formula, which eventually was known as FA70 (Ref 20) (the FA signifying Frankford Arsenal)... [Pg.850]
