During this period, the armaments industry underwent a radical transformation, moving from being based on public-owned arsenals and yards to being based on private firms – the system of military procurement prevalent today.

  • Marine Training Manual Symbology
    Marine training manual symbology Continue NATO standards for military map tagging symbols This article includes a general reference list, but it is still largely unverified because it lacks sufficient inline quotes. Please help improve this article by introducing more accurate quotes. (November 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The symbol of Poland's First Legion Infantry Division in modern NATO symbolizes NATO Alongside the Military Symbology is NATO standard for military map tagging symbols. Originally published in 1986 as The Publication of Allied Procedure 6 (APP-6), NATO's Military Symbol for Land-Based Systems, this standard has grown for years and is now in its fifth version (APP-6D). These symbols are designed to improve NATO's joint reliability by providing a standard set of general symbols. The APP-6 forms a joint military symboler system for land, air, space and formations and sea-based units, which can be displayed either for automatic map display systems or for manual map marking. It covers all joint services and can be used by them. The history of the symbol of the first basic military map was first used by western forces in decades following the end of the Napoleonic War. During World War I, there was a level of harmony between the British and French systems, including the use of red color for enemy and blue forces for allies; The British previously used red for friendly soldiers because of the traditional red coat of British soldiers. However, the system is now widely used based on those created by the U.S.

C. 2003 i Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Schlight, John. Help from above : Air Force close air support of the Army 1946-1973 / John Schlight. p. cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. 1. Close air support--History--20th century. 2. United States. Air Force--History--20th century. 3. United States. Army--Aviation--History--20th century. I. Title. UG703.S35 2003 358.4'142--dc22 2003020365 ii Foreword The issue of close air support by the United States Air Force in sup- port of, primarily, the United States Army has been fractious for years. Air commanders have clashed continually with ground leaders over the proper use of aircraft in the support of ground operations. This is perhaps not surprising given the very different outlooks of the two services on what constitutes prop- er air support. Often this has turned into a competition between the two serv- ices for resources to execute and control close air support operations. Although such differences extend well back to the initial use of the airplane as a military weapon, in this book the author looks at the period 1946- 1973, a period in which technological advances in the form of jet aircraft, weapons, communications, and other electronic equipment played significant roles. Doctrine, too, evolved and this very important subject is discussed in detail. Close air support remains a critical mission today and the lessons of yesterday should not be ignored. This book makes a notable contribution in seeing that it is not ignored.
