  • Benelux Soldier Reenlists in Historic WWII-Era Building
    Benelux Soldier reenlists in historic WWII-era building Dec. 13, 2011 By U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs " alt="U.S. Army Europe" /> Sgt. Alexander Frye, U.S. Army Garrison Benelux Military Police, reenlists in the basement of Base Bastogne, in the very room that Gen. Anthony McAuliffe refused the German Army's demand for surrender with the simple word "Nuts." CHIEVRES, Belgium -- Reenlistment is a special moment for a Soldier, as well as those Social Media who serve alongside. It is a conscious decision to extend one's term of service to the Facebook Nation and make a commitment to the profession of arms and the sacrifices that come with that profession. Twitter Flickr Reenlistments have been done in many ways from simple ceremonies in the workplace to the ramp of an aircraft before a parachute jump. YouTube For one U.S. Army Benelux Soldier reenlistment was an opportunity to show that commitment and dedication of a U.S. Soldier in a place that epitomizes the sacrifices of Soldiers everywhere. During this year's annual remembrance of the Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne, Belgium, Sgt. Alexander Frye, U.S. Army Garrison Benelux Military Police, reenlisted in the basement of Base Bastogne, in the very room that Gen. Anthony McAuliffe refused the German Army's demand for surrender with the simple word "Nuts." The Battle of the Bulge was the largest and bloodiest battle of World War II with 89,000 casualties, including 19,000 killed. These sacrifices have never been forgotten by the people of Bastogne and the commemoration services held every year grow in participation.

  • Alaska Trip Clothing and Gear List
    Alaska Trip Clothing and Gear List A list of suggested clothing based on our experience is indicated below. Mark all clothing with indelible ink. Campers will have the opportunity to do laundry on the trip. We recommend wrinkle-resistant clothing that dries quickly. “Good” clothes are not recommended. ALL ALASKA CAMPERS MUST HAVE A PASSPORT OR PASSPORT CARD TIPS ON PACKING: Campers are allowed only ONE duffel bag (size 26” x 42”) Everything - with the exception of your sleeping bag, sleeping pad, pillow, light blanket and any items kept in your daypack - must fit into your duffel bag. You can best organize your duffel by compartmentalizing your clothing. Group similar clothes, such as t-shirts, and place them into plastic bags. Feel free to use bags you have around the house instead of buying new bags. The plastic bags will serve a dual purpose; to help you keep your clothes sorted and easy to reach, and as added protection against moisture and accidental spilling. TIPS ON IMPORTANT GEAR: SLEEPING BAG: You will need a good summer bag with synthetic fill. No goose down or cotton filled bags are allowed. Synthetic will work well when wet and is less expensive than goose down bags. We recommend a synthetic, 20-degree bag. HIKING BOOTS: Boots should extend over the ankle for support. The upper portion should be made of nylon or leather and should have the capacity to become waterproofed. The boot should be worn for at least 6 weeks before the trip in order to prevent blisters. They should be waterproofed before the trip.

  • The United States Atomic Army, 1956-1960 Dissertation
    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

Dear Friend of the Museum, I invite you to join The National WWII Museum on a commemorative 75th anniversary tour of the sites made significant during the Battle of the Bulge. Expertly researched by our own staff, and led by expert battlefield guide Roland Gaul and military historian Edwin Popken, this is the most immersive tour of the Ardennes available today. From the famous “northern shoulder” of the Bulge near Elsenborn Ridge, through the Bastogne Corridor, and to the Luxembourg Ardennes, you will trace the routes of the last major German offensive in the West and encounter the heroic stories of the soldiers who fought and won America’s largest and costliest campaign of World War II. In late 1944, few thought that a massive German counterattack was possible.

    BOLD & GOLD EXPEDITIONS GENERAL PACKING INFORMATION All participants are responsible for bringing the items on the following list with them to check-in. Please check with your teen that every item is actually going into their pack before leaving home. Please take note of additional items necessary for your specific programs (see pages 12-18 in the handbook). The quality of clothing and equipment can have an enormous impact on the health and happiness of participants. When selecting equipment, size and weight can be important. BOLD & GOLD can provide many of these items, including clothing from an extensive outdoor clothing lending library; please call with any questions or to rent any gear. PACKING Since your teen will be carrying their own equipment as well as a portion of the group’s food and gear, choose personal gear that is lightweight, warm and easily packed. All items should be packed in a backpack that has a minimum capacity of 60-70 Liters, and should be capable of carrying 25-30 lbs. It should be an internal frame design and have adjustable hip and waist belts. If you will be renting a backpack from BOLD & GOLD, please bring gear in a duffel bag to check-in. CLOTHING Your teen will be living outside, so having the right clothing is important for their comfort and safety. There could be rain, snow, hot sun, or strong winds on your course. Our clothing list reflects the importance of the “layering” principle. Dressing in several light layers rather than one heavy layer allows them more flexibility as the weather and workloads change.

  • So Here It Is, the History of the 2Nd Tank Battalion, CCR, 9Th Armored Division During the Battle of the Bulge
    So here it is, the History of the 2nd Tank Battalion, CCR, 9th Armored division during the Battle of the Bulge. This is the chapter on the Bulge. The AAR’s for 9th AD and for CCR 9th AD painted some of the picture a little better than what I have seen in any of the history books but this is the most detailed account of the events of the 2nd Tank Battalion. In my opinion the 2nd TB probably fought the toughest tank vs tank battles of the Bulge. This is tank companies fighting with other companies of the armored division in a real slug fest with the leading elements of the German breakthrough. It is a shame that these units of CCR 9th AD are not - mentioned more but at the time, these units were beaten up pretty bad. They were scattered in the winds between being captured, wounded or killed, separated from the unit, infiltration and attachment IN THIS ISSUE to other units. I think it comes down to the comments in the AAR’s which result in the historians looking past them. History of the 2nd As historians for the Army the intent is to not place blame or point to failures of leaders. And Tank Battalion-Battle these AAR’s point to and mention the failure of the Corps Commander, MG Troy H. Middleton, as to of the Bulge the failures of the defense in the Bulge. Something I tend to agree with and have for some time but After Action Report, we are not to focus on that but learn from the mistakes and successes.
