General rules for execution of field works -..--.--..-.-..... 74 ..292 IV FM 5-15 ENGINEER FIELD MANUAL FIELD FORTIFICATIONS (The matter contained herein supersedes chapter 2, part two, Engineer Field Manual, volume II (tentative), June 25, 1932; TR 195-5, October 1, 1926;: TR 195-50, February 20, 1929; and TR 1195-65, January 28, 1926.) SECTION I GENERAL U 1. DErNITIONS.-Field /ortiflcations are works constructed by military forces in combat operations to increase natural defensive strength of a locality. They are of two general classes- a. Hasty, constructed when in contact or about to make contact with the enemy and consisting generally of such fox holes, open weapon emplacements, and simple obstacles as the situation permits. b. Deliberate, constructed out of presence of the enemy or developed gradually from hasty fortifications as a result of long occupation, and consisting generally of such standard trenches, covered emplacements, obstacles, etc., as the situa- tion requires. * 2. EMPLOYMENT.-a. Defense,-Field fortifications are used in defensive operations to- (1) Fortify any position not protected by permanent forti- fications. (2) Supplement permanent fortifications. (3) Provide local security for isolated installations such as coast defense guns. b. Offense.-In offensive operations they are used by- (1) Any portions of the force assigned defensive missions, thus increasing their defensive strength and thereby releas- ing other troops for the offensive. (2) Attacking troops making a temporary halt, thereby Increasing their resistance to counter attacks. I 2-4 ENGINEER FIELD MANUAL c. In general, any occupied position should be protected by field fortifications whether in preparation for defensive or in connection with offensive combat. However, the primary use is in defense. · 3. ExtcuTroN.--a. In general, field fortifications are laid out and constructed by the troops occupying them. b. In divisions, corps, and armies the unit engineer assists in preparation of plans and in technical inspections to insure carrying out such plans. It is seldom that small units have engineer assistance in the planning or laying out. c. Primary duties of engineer troops in execution are- (1) Supply of tools and materials. (2) Execution of works of general use such as command and observation posts, aid stations, etc., for higher units, main communications for supply and evacuation, and water supply facilities. Engineer troops may also assist other units in execution of works for which engineers are better trained and equipped than are the other troops, such as large shelters, obstacles of special nature, special works for drainage, and demolitions. d. Rear positions usually are planned and laid out by the unit engineer under general instructions from the com- mander. Engineer troops assisted by reserve unit and labor troops, and civilian labor if available, usually execute these works. * 4. NATURE OF WORK.-a. Work of fortifying a locality con- sists generally of the following tasks, listed in the order of importance most frequently applicable: (1) Hasty.-The general rule is first to concentrate the bulk of the force on those things which most increase defensive strength of the position. (a) Providing camouflage, limited generally to selection of positions affording natural cover or ease of concealment. (b) Clearing reasonable fields of fire for flat trajectory weapons. (c) Digging open emplacements for machine guns. (d) Digging fox holes (small pits for individual soldier). (e) Erecting obstacles, principally wire entanglements. (i) Digging shallow trenches connecting fox holes when time permits. 2 FIELD FORTIFICATIONS 4-5 (2) Deliberate.-The general rule is first to concentrate as much of the force as is necessary on those things which re- quire the longest time. (a) Adequate communications. (b) Providing shelter for those working on the position. (c) Providing camouflage of important installations. (d) Constructing splinterproof or shellproof observation posts. (e) Constructing protected shelters for troops, command 'posts, aid stations, etc. (f) Constructing splinterproof or shellproof emplacements for infantry supporting weapons. (g) Constructing standard fire and communication trenches. (h) Constructing artillery emplacements. (i) Constructing obstacles of all types, including antitank obstacles. b. In both hasty and deliberate fortifications, the above tasks are undertaken concurrently so that the position is fairly well coordinated for defense at all times. Provision for camouflage must be made before work is commenced. Camouflage is then carried on continuously throughout the work so that as much of the position as possible is concealed from the enemy no matter when he observes it. c. Hasty fortifications are developed into deliberate forti- fications by deepening and extending trenches, strengthening obstacles, adding protected shelters, etc. This development normally is a continuing process, its extent depending prin- cipally upon length of time the position is occupied. As engi- neers may have to assist in development work, they should be familiar with both hasty and deliberate fortifications. d. Breastworks and surface shelters are used in place of trenches, dugouts, etc., where natural conditions such as high ground water level or rock prohibit normal excavation. · 5. EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST PROJECTILES AND BOMBS.-a. Trenches and open emplacements properly constructed pro- vide effective protection against all small-arms fire, artillery projectiles up to 4 inches in caliber, and fragmentation bombs (usually 20 pounds), except direct hits. Such works can be 3 5-6

  • Shoot-Out at Rimling Junction, January 8–9, 1945 by Rufus Dalton, 397-H
    Shoot-Out at Rimling Junction, January 8–9, 1945 by Rufus Dalton, 397-H Why another article about the battle of Rimling? That is a good question. I feel one last one is due because the story of the last two days of that battle has not been told. This was when the very life of the 2nd Battalion, 397th Infantry was on the line with a pitched battle going on within the town itself. The stories of the individual men involved have not been fully told. This article is an attempt to use their stories to give a composite feeling of what those last two days were like. The Rimling battle lasted from 0005 hours, January 1, 1945, until shortly after dark on January 9. It might be helpful to outline the main events of those days. I used Operations of the 397th Infantry Regiment 100th Infantry Division (the monthly narrative report submitted by the 397th’s commander) to glean the following: December 31 – 1st Battalion was in position at Bettviller. – 2nd Battalion was in reserve around Guising and Gare de Rohrbach. – 3rd Battalion was on the main line of resistance (MLR), in and around Rimling. January 1 – 3rd Battalion at 0005 was hit by a major enemy attack and held, but the 44th Division, on the 3rd Battalion’s left flank, fell back, exposing the Battalion’s left flank. January 2 – 3rd Battalion held onto its position. – 1st and 2nd platoons of Company G (2nd Bn.) were moved up to the MLR to shore up the left flank of the 3rd Battalion.

  • Henry D. Tiioreau
    84 HENRY D. TIIOREAU ago you could see the top of a pitchpine, of the kind called yellow pine hereabouts, though it is not a distinct species, projecting above the surface in deep water, many rods from the shore.It was even supposed by some that the pond had sunk, and this was one of the primitive forest that formerly stood there.I find that even so long ago as 179Q, in a "Topographical Descrip- tion of the Town of Concord," by one of its citizens, in the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical So- ciety, the author, after speaking of Walden and White Ponds, adds, "In the middle of the latter may be seen, when the water is very low, a tree which appears as if it grew in the place where it now stands, although the roots are fifty feet below the surface of the water; the top of this tree is broken off, and at that place measures four- teen inches in diameter." In the spring of '4I talked with the man who lives nearest the pond in Sudbury, who told me that it was he who got out this tree ten or fifteen years before. As near as he could remember, it stood twelve or fifteen rods from the shore, where the water was thirty or forty feet deep. It was in the winter, and he had been getting out ice in the forenoon, and bad resolved that in the afternoon, with the aid of his neigh- bors, he would take out the old yellow pine. He sawed a channel in the ice to'ard the shore, and hauled it over and along and out on to the ice withoxen; but, before lie had gone far in his work, he was surprised to find that it was wrong end upward, with the stumps of the branches pointing down, and the small end firmly fastened in the sandy bottom.It was about a foot in diameter at the big end, and he had expected to geta good saw-log, but THE PONDS 85 it was so rotten as to be fit only for fuel, if for that.

  • GREGORY the Natures of War FINAL May 2015
    !1 The Natures of War Derek Gregory for Neil 1 In his too short life, Neil Smith had much to say about both nature and war: from his seminal discussion of ‘the production of nature’ in his first book, Uneven development, to his dissections of war in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries in American Empire – where he identified the ends of the First and Second World Wars as crucial punctuations in the modern genealogy of globalisation – and its coda, The endgame of globalization, a critique of America’s wars conducted in the shadows of 9/11. 2 And yet, surprisingly, he never linked the two. He was of course aware of their connections. He always insisted that the capitalist production of nature, like that of space, was never – could not be – a purely domestic matter, and he emphasised that the modern projects of colonialism and imperialism depended upon often spectacular displays of military violence. But he did not explore those relations in any systematic or substantive fashion. He was not alone. The great Marxist critic Raymond Williams once famously identified ‘nature’ as ‘perhaps the most complex word in the [English] language.’ Since he wrote, countless commentators have elaborated on its complexities, but few of them 1 This is a revised and extended version of the first Neil Smith Lecture, delivered at the University of St Andrews – Neil’s alma mater – on 14 November 2013. I am grateful to Catriona Gold for research assistance on the Western Desert, to Paige Patchin for lively discussions about porno-tropicality and the Vietnam war, and to Noel Castree, Dan Clayton, Deb Cowen, Isla Forsyth, Gastón Gordillo, Jaimie Gregory, Craig Jones, Stephen Legg and the editorial collective of Antipode for radically improving my early drafts.

SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW THE NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR CRISIS: PAST FAILURES, PRESENT SOLUTIONS MORSE TAN* ABSTRACT North Korea has recently announced that it has developed nuclear weapons and has pulled out of the six-party talks. These events do not emerge out of a vacuum, and this Article lends perspective through an interdisciplinary lens that seeks to grapple with the complexities and provide constructive approaches based on this well-researched understanding. This Article analyzes political, military, historical, legal and other angles of this international crisis. Past dealings with North Korea have been unfruitful because other nations do not recognize the ties between North Korean acts and its ideology and objectives. For a satisfactory resolution to the current crisis, South Korea and the United States must maintain sufficient deterrence, focus on multi-lateral and international avenues, and increase the negative and later positive incentives for North Korean compliance with its international obligations.

  • Storms and Coastal Defences at Chiswell This Booklet Provides Information About
    storms and coastal defences at chiswell this booklet provides information about: • How Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon formed and how it has What is this changed over the last 100 years • Why coastal defences were built at Chiswell and how they work • The causes and impacts of the worst storms in a generation booklet that occurred over the winter 2013 / 14 • What will happen in the future Chesil Beach has considerable scientific about? significance and has been widely studied. The sheer size of the beach and the varying size and shape of the beach material are just some of the reasons why this beach is of worldwide interest and importance. Chesil Beach is an 18 mile long shingle bank that stretches north-west from Portland to West Bay. It is mostly made up of chert and flint pebbles that vary in size along the beach with the larger, smoother pebbles towards the Portland end. The range of shapes and sizes is thought to be a result of the natural sorting process of the sea. The southern part of the beach towards Portland shelves steeply into the sea and continues below sea level, only levelling off at 18m depth. It is slightly shallower at the western end where it levels off at a depth of 11m. This is mirrored above sea level where typically the shingle ridge is 13m high at Portland and 4m high at West Bay. For 8 miles Chesil Beach is separated from the land by the Fleet lagoon - a shallow stretch of water up to 5m deep.

He replied “that would be awesome.” Th e Mandan Dacotah Lions board of directors quickly acted to approve the project and Mandan Lions Club President; Jeff Erickson called his club for workers and within THREE hours Kevin and Pat had organized donations of water, food, and tents. Th e grills were lit and our journey began. Because of the working relationship that all of the Lions of Mandan have with business owners in our community, those businesses quickly got on board to support this project. Many businesses stepped up to the plate when asked to help. Others called us to ask “what do you need, we want to help.” Th is was truly a community wide eff ort where every church, organization, Setting up to feed the volunteers in the 2011 fl ood fi ght are Lion business and private person united in the fi ght to save our city.
