  • For Immediate Release. Versalift & Mercedes Benz Unimog Join Forces
    26th May 2017 Ref: AB/03/17 – LAT-38-150-H Press Release: For immediate release. Versalift & Mercedes Benz Unimog Join Forces Date: 26 May 2017 Closer ties: Versalift Managing Director Cameron Burnett, right, and Director Andy Bray, centre, are pictured with Mercedes-Benz Head of Special Trucks – Unimog Bernhard Dolinek, and the versatile U218 access platform Unveiled! All-new Mercedes-Benz Unimog-based Versalift platform offers high performance at low cost. The vehicle made its world debut on the Versalift stand at last week’s (24-25 May) Vertikal Days exhibition, a major European showcase for lifting and access equipment. Truck-mounted access platform market leader Versalift and the team responsible for the legendary Mercedes-Benz Unimog in the UK have joined forces to launch an exciting new model. Based on a Unimog U218 implement carrier with nominal 7.5-tonne gross weight, it is designed to provide utilities companies with a compact, fast and reliable off-road package for work on low-voltage power lines in difficult-to-reach areas, at a highly attractive price. Following the Vertikal Days event, which took place at Silverstone, the new truck is being made available to operators for trial – although Versalift has been mounting its equipment on Unimog chassis for many years, this is the first time the two have invested together in a joint demonstration unit. The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is renowned for its unrivalled combination of on-road speed and all-terrain capability. The new vehicle is fitted with an all-steel boom and platform that offers a maximum working height of 15 metres.

This prehistoric man kept the fire going by piling up the moss for cooking and warmth. As man evolved, he invented hunting tools to kill animals, such as the Woolly Mammoth and other fur bearing animals for their skins to make clothes and their meat for food. Roving bands of people attempted to barter for the things they needed or sometimes took the materials they wanted by harming or killing the opposing party. Eventually, mankind learned to cultivate crops allowing him to settle in farms to provide food for his family. With these beginnings of civilization, leaders and councils were picked to organize communities and make decisions for the betterment of the citizenry. The leaders formed governments and declared certain regions for themselves; forming kingdoms, granting councils the ability to make laws, and enforce regulations.

  • Hand to Hand Combat
    *FM 21-150 i FM 21-150 ii FM 21-150 iii FM 21-150 Preface This field manual contains information and guidance pertaining to rifle-bayonet fighting and hand-to-hand combat. The hand-to-hand combat portion of this manual is divided into basic and advanced training. The techniques are applied as intuitive patterns of natural movement but are initially studied according to range. Therefore, the basic principles for fighting in each range are discussed. However, for ease of learning they are studied in reverse order as they would be encountered in a combat engagement. This manual serves as a guide for instructors, trainers, and soldiers in the art of instinctive rifle-bayonet fighting. The proponent for this publication is the United States Army Infantry School. Comments and recommendations must be submitted on DA Form 2028 (Recommended Changes to Publications and Blank Forms) directly to Commandant, United States Army Infantry School, ATTN: ATSH-RB, Fort Benning, GA, 31905-5430. Unless this publication states otherwise, masculine nouns and pronouns do not refer exclusively to men. iv CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Hand-to-hand combat is an engagement between two or more persons in an empty-handed struggle or with handheld weapons such as knives, sticks, and rifles with bayonets. These fighting arts are essential military skills. Projectile weapons may be lost or broken, or they may fail to fire. When friendly and enemy forces become so intermingled that firearms and grenades are not practical, hand-to-hand combat skills become vital assets. 1-1. PURPOSE OF COMBATIVES TRAINING Today’s battlefield scenarios may require silent elimination of the enemy.

  • A Sharp Little Affair: the Archeology of Big Hole Battlefield
    A Sharp Little Affair: The Archeology of the Big Hole Battlefield By Douglas D. Scott With Special Sections by Melissa A. Connor Dick Harmon Lester Ross REPRINTS IN ANTHROPOLOGY VOLUME 45 1994 Published by J & L Reprint Company 410 Wedgewood Drive Lincoln, Nebraska 68510 Revised for PDF publication June 2009 Acknowledgments First and foremost we wish to acknowledge and thank Hank Williams, Jr. for his interest and financial support. The National Park Service seldom has the luxury of conducting an archeological research project that is not tied to some development project or some overriding management action. Mr. William's support allowed us to pursue this investigation for the benefit of the park without being tied to a specific management requirement. His support did allow us to accomplish several management goals that otherwise would have waited their turn in the priority system. This project has had more than its fair share of those who have given their time, resources, and knowledge without thought of compensation. Specifically Irwin and Riva Lee are to be commended for their willingness to ramrod the metal detecting crew. They volunteered for the duration for which we are truly grateful. Aubrey Haines visited us during the field investigations and generously shared his vast knowledge of the Big Hole battle history with us. His willingness to loan material and respond to our questions is truly appreciated. Former Unit Manager Jock Whitworth and his entire staff provided much support and aid during the investigations. Jock and his staff allowed us to invade the park and their good-natured acceptance of our disruption to the daily schedule is acknowledged with gratitude.

Demolition Materials 1-1. Characteristics. To be suitable for use in military operations, explosives must have certain properties. Military explosives— - Should be inexpensive to manufacture and capable of being produced from readily available raw materials. - Must be relatively insensitive to shock or friction, yet be able to positively detonate by easily prepared initiators. - Must be capable of shattering and must have the potential energy (high energy output per unit volume) adequate for the purpose of demolitions. - Must be stable enough to retain usefulness for a reasonable time when stored in temperatures between -80 and +165 degrees Fahrenheit. - Should be composed of high-density materials (weight per unit volume). - Should be suitable for use underwater or in damp climates. - Should be minimally toxic when stored, handled, and detonated.
