C., 12 September1952 FM 7-17, 23 March 1951, is changed as follows: 285.1 FORWARD AIR CONTROLLER (Added) a. A tactical air control party (TACP) consisting of a forward air controller (FAC), who normally is a combat experienced fighter pilot, his enlisted assist- ants and equipment, may operate with an armored infantry battalion. The primary mission of the TACP is to direct close air support strikes in the vicinity. of forward ground elements by visual methods. It is a highly mobile element having air- to-ground communication to vector aircraft to tar- gets, and point-to-point communications with the tactical air control center (TACC) or tactical air direction centers (TADC) and with the division air liaison officer (ALO). At times the forward air con-. troller may be airborne to facilitate control and direc- tion of air strikes. Under these conditions the con- troller is referred to as a tactical air coordinator (TAC). At other times the forward air controller may ride in a tank equipped with the necessary ground-to-air communication. A tank is provided in the T/O & E of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Combat Command for this purpose. b. Functions of TACP(s)- (1) To direct close offensive air support air- craft to targets in the vicinity of friendly AGO 848C-Sept. 2004 1 UICk SSItFtI positions and to direct visual reconnaissance of specified areas. (2) To receive information from reconnaissance or other aircraft for transmission to the bat- talion commander, the division ALO, and the appropriate TADC. (3) To report observed results of air strikes to the battalion commander, the division ALO, and the appropriate TADC. (4) To advise the battalion commander and his staff on matters pertaining to tactical air operations. (5) To assist in identifying the location of friendly front line units. 322. CLOSE AIR SUPPORT DURING THE ATTACK (Superseded) a. Close air support may be available to the armored infantry battalion commander for the exe- cution of either preplanned or immediate missions. Frequently air or ground alert aircraft are made available to the division or combat command in order that immediate missions may be accomplished with the minimum delay. Air strikes are controlled by 'the tactical air control party. The forward air con- troller remains with the command group until a target is designated; he then moves to a vantage point where he can direct the air strike on the desig- nated target. Close liaison is maintained between the forward air controller and artillery liaison officer to insure prompt exchange of information gained from both ground and air observation and to assist in marking of targets. Fighter planes normally support the attack by bombs, rockets, incendiary missiles, and by strafing. 2 AGO 848C b. Typical Targets To Be Selected. (1) Gun positions. (2) Vehicles, including armor. (3) Command posts. (4) Concentration of troops. (5) Strongly defended positions. (6) Pill boxes. (7) Defended road blocks. (8) Other targets artillery may not be able to engage effectively. 322.1 AIR REQUESTS (Added) a. Requests for close air support will include the following minimum information: (1) Location of target indicated by grid refer- ence or other means. (2) Description of target including sufficient detail to permit selection of appropriate armament. (3) Results desired; for example, destruction or neutralization. (4) Location of nearest friendly troops with re- spect to the target at the time of attack. (5) Attack time limits, to include time of attack. and latest time attack can be made and still accomplish desired results. (6) Tactical significance. (7) Special control information including target and front-line marking and forward air controller in position to control attack- ing aircraft. (8) Other pertinent information to be supplied by appropriate FSCC's, such as ordinates of ground fires in the area and restrictive fire plans. AGO 848C 3 6. Requests for reconnaissance air support will in- clude the following minimum information: (1) Area, routes ortargets to be covered. (2) Time the coverage is to be effected. (3) Type reconnaissance desired (visual or photo). (4) Significance of desired information. (Jus- tification for the request.) (5) Specific information desired. (6) Forward air controller in position to con- trol aircraft, if necessary. (7) In addition for photo reconnaissance- (a) Type photograph desired (vertical, oblique, mosaic, etc.). (b) Scale desired. (c) Distribution desired. (d) Number of prints desired. c. Normally, requests for air support originating at the battalion will be given a priority and transmitted to combat command. When the division has estab- lished, based on traffic load, a separate air request net, immediate requests may be transmitted from bat- talion direct to division. 322.2 TARGET IDENTIFICATION (Added) a. Close air support targets located between the bomb line and friendly troops must be properly iden- tified to the striking aircraft prior to attack. The forward air controller normally accomplishes the tar- get identification and control for these strikes. He must coordinate with, advise, and receive assistance from ground elements when required. He should 4 AGO 848C work closely with the artillery liaison officer. A for- ward air controller may identify a target for aircraft through any one or a combination of the methods indicated in (1) through (10) below- (1) Reference to grids or coordinates on large scale maps or photographic mosaics. (2) Reference to nearby landmarks or terrain features readily discernible to the pilot. (3) Use of colored panels to establish refer- ence points for navigational aid. (4) Mark targets with smoke shells from artil- lery, mortars, grenades, recoilless rifles, etc.; colored smoke is preferable. (5). Use of searchlights or illuminating shells; i. e., artillery, mortar, naval, etc., to illumi- nate specified target areas at night or as reference points. (6) Verbal description of the target by the for- ward air controller to the aircraft. (7) Adjustment of simulated air attacks for pilot orientation. (8) Radio communication from friendly unit to Army light aircraft, who can in turn lead attacking aircraft to the target. (9) Use of electronic equipment (radio homing devices, beacons, etc.). (10) Use of any one or a combination of the above methods to orient a tactical air co- ordinator who, in turn, leads attacking air- craft to the target. b. It is normal for the battalion to establish a standing operating procedure on employment of close air support based on the standing operating pro- cedure or policies of the next higher headquarters. AGO 848C0S 322.3 MARKING FORWARD TROOP LOCATIONS (Added) a. Close air support strikes require a simple, yet exacting, system of marking of forward troop loca- tions at the time of the air attack. Forward troop locations may be marked or identified for aircraft through any one or a combination of the methods indicated in (1) through (6) below. (1) Reference to grids or coordinates on large scale maps or photographic mosaics. (2) Reference to nearby landmarks or terrain feature readily descernible to the pilot. (3) Displaying colored panels to portray loca- tions of forward troops with relation to target. (4) Establishment of reference points with colored panels or smoke shells. Colored smoke is preferable. (5) Verbal description of forward troop loca- tions or reference points by the forward air controller to the aircraft. (6) Use of electronic equipment (radio homing devices, beacons, etc.). b. It is normal for the battalion to establish a standing operating procedure on marking of forward' troop locations based on the standing operating pro- cedure or policies of the next higher headquarters. 376.1 CLOSE AIR SUPPORT (Added) Normally a tactical air control party (TACP) operates with each armored infantry battalion com- mander. The forward air controller (FAC) who commands this party acts as an advisor to the bat- a AGO 848C talion commander on air support matters. On large scale defensive operations, the availability of close air support aircraft is frequently greatly reduced since the number of such aircraft required for air superiority and interdiction tasks is greatly in- creased.

  • The Working Planetologist Speculative Worlds and the Practice of Climate Science
    Chapter 2: The Working Planetologist Speculative Worlds and the Practice of Climate Science Katherine Buse In a 2010 editorial in the journal Nature, the climate scientist and Executive Direc- tor of the International Geosphere–Biosphere Programme, Sybil Seitzinger, ar- gues that scientists ought to be more centrally involved in international policy dis- cussions about sustainable development. “In Frank Herbert’s 1965 science-fiction classic Dune,” she writes, “the number-one position on the planet is held not by a politician, but by a planetary ecologist” (Seitzinger 2010: 601). Seitzinger invokes Herbert’s novel here to make a pointed comparison. In Dune, the inhabitants of the planet Arrakis are engaging in a long-term terraforming project that neces- sitates the oversight of a planetary ecologist. But here on Earth, we too have been making such changes, “altering, in profound and uncontrolled ways, key biologi- cal, physical and chemical processes of ecosystems.” For Seitzinger, grappling re- sponsibly with these processes requires a global, far-sighted perspective that she finds lacking in most Earth politicians. She advises that, while the governments of Earth have not yet considered appointing a planetary ecologist, “perhaps it is time to take the idea seriously.” And she is dead serious, both as a worried scientist and policy analyst, and also as a reader of Dune. Although she discusses the novel explicitly only in the first and last sentences of her editorial, Seitzinger does not invoke Dune merely to provide a bit of ‘science communication’ flavor to entertain Nature’s interdisciplinary read- ership. After all, the perspective she takes in the editorial is profoundly similar to Frank Herbert’s vision in Dune: both pragmatic and theoretical, it subsumes socio-political concerns as components of a planetary ecological model.

  • TOTO Bio (PDF)
    TOTO Bio Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of TOTO. As individuals, the band members’ imprint can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a HALF A BILLION albums. Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with 225 Grammy nominations. Band members were South Park characters, while Family Guy did an entire episode on the band's hit "Africa." As a band, TOTO sold 35 million albums, and today continue to be a worldwide arena draw staging standing room only events across the globe. They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles, and 35 years in to a career enjoy a multi-generational fan base. It is not an exaggeration to estimate that 95% of the world's population has heard a performance by a member of TOTO. The list of those they individually collaborated with reads like a who's who of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, alongside the biggest names in music. The band took a page from their heroes The Beatles playbook and created a collective that features multiple singers, songwriters, producers, and multi-instrumentalists. Guitarist Steve Lukather aka Luke has performed on 2000 albums, with artists across the musical spectrum that include Michael Jackson, Roger Waters, Miles Davis, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, Don Henley, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick and many more. His solo career encompasses a catalog of ten albums and multiple DVDs that collectively encompass sales exceeding 500,000 copies.

  • The Blackness of Liet-Kynes: Reading Frank Herbert's Dune Through
    religions Article The Blackness of Liet-Kynes: Reading Frank Herbert’s Dune Through James Cone Peter Herman Theology & Religious Studies, Marymount University, Arlington, VA 22207, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 August 2018; Accepted: 17 September 2018; Published: 18 September 2018 Abstract: Frank Herbert’s landmark science fiction novel Dune has received numerous sequels, prequels, and film treatments. Detailing the saga of humanity’s far future beyond our present solar system, the work plays successfully with religious, political, and ecological themes. This essay deals with the social/theological implications of two figures within the story-world of Dune: Its protagonist and visible hero, Paul Atreides/Muad’Dib and the lesser figure of the “Imperial Planetologist” Dr. Kynes, also known to the Fremen as “Liet”. By reading these two figures through the theology of James Cone, we discover that the obvious hero is not a messianic figure but a demonic one. Further, it is the lesser character of Liet-Kynes who actually fulfills the messianic role in Cone’s theological system. This essay is preceded by and makes use of Jeremy Ian Kirk’s work with the film Avatar that provides similar analysis. Where Kirk’s principal concern is with the ethical considerations of Avatar, this essay will more closely bear on Cone’s dynamic of redemption and conversion, specifically his notion of dying to white identity to be reborn in blackness. Keywords: theology; whiteness; black liberation; liberation theology; soteriology; salvation 1. Introduction Frank Herbert’s six Dune novels provide an amazing and detailed view of a possible future for the human race among the stars.1 The world-building in which he engaged spans thousands of years and billions of miles in his speculative future version of our known universe.2 Religion, specifically the often cynical manipulations of the Bene Geserit Sisterhood, plays a role in the narrative.

  • Foundation and Dune
    Mythmoot III: Ever On Proceedings of the 3rd Mythgard Institute Mythmoot BWI Marriott, Linthicum, Maryland January 10-11, 2015 Foundation and Dune or, Hari Seldon and the Golden Path Neil A. Ottenstein and Phillip Menzies Introduction The idea of there being a similarity between the Dune novels by Frank Herbert and Foundation series by Isaac Asimov became apparent during one of the Mythgard Academy classes on Dune led by Corey Olsen. During this class we examined in great detail what Paul Atreides was experiencing when his ability to see the future started to surface in his consciousness. In describing the mechanics of Paul’s view of the future it became clear that Paul was not “seeing” the future in any kind of mystical way. This view of seeing the future reminded some participants in the class of Psychohistory as put forward by Hari Seldon in the Foundation series. In this series Psychohistory was entirely based upon science and mathematics once again totally unrelated to mysticism or magic in any way. This paper will look at these two methods of foretelling or predicting the future by describing and comparing what was experienced by Paul and the Psychohistorians. It will also examine the mechanics of “seeing” the future. We are able to do this because these abilities were rational based on science, mathematics, observation and extrapolation and totally explainable unlike magic or metaphysical forces. Both novels also described limitations to seeing the future by showing that some things were not able to be seen and anticipated. We will examine this by venturing into the sequel Foundation and Empire.

Meza 2 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enska The Bene Gesserit in Frank Herbert’s Dune An Analysis. Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs. Luis Felipe Torres Meza Kt.: 250786-3959 Leiðbeinendur: Matthew Whelpton og Valgerður Guðrún Bjarkadóttir December 2010 T. Meza 3 Abstract. The following is a work of literary analysis involving Frank Herbert’s Dune, which is the first published tome of what later became known as the Dune Chronicles. The Chronicles comprise six books authored by Frank Herbert many of which are referred to here, but this work centres only on Dune. This literary analysis focuses on the Bene Gesserit, an organization of women which plays a large part in the development of Herbert’s novel. The main objective of the discussion is to describe this conglomerate of characters and analyse it as one single collective character with its own story and its own characteristics in order to expand the understanding of Dune. Although much work about this science fiction novel exists today, the implications of the Bene Gesserit have not been adequately discussed. There are critics who condemn Herbert’s depiction of women in his universe based on the comparison of power between the novel’s protagonist hero, Paul Atreides and his Bene Gesserit counterparts. Another important tendency in Dune criticism is the inaccurate view that limits the understanding of the Bene Gesserit as a religious organization, although Dune itself provides readers with evidence to the contrary.
