Camouflage Combat Uniform
CAMOUFLAGE COMBAT UNIFORM COL Robert F. Mortlock, USA (Ret.) The development, testing, and fielding of combat uniforms for soldiers offer acquisition professionals an opportunity to analyze how programs progress through the U.S. defense acquisition system. This case centers on the U.S. Army’s decision to change the camouflage patterns on combat uniforms and equipment for soldiers. The case is broadly applicable to project managers, business managers, engineers, testers, and logisticians involved in project management, while specifically targeting defense acquisition professionals. Emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking and analysis skills in the areas of stakeholder management, resource management, and decision making in a complex environment. The case is developed in two distinct parts. Part I provides an analysis of the Army’s development of a plan with an increased chance of success in meeting desired objectives. Part II analyzes how the Army decided to change the ITIO camouflage pattern on combat uniforms through UIS N Q UN C CH C A EAR OM IV an informed, knowledge-based process.

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. -

Assessment of Camouflage Effectiveness Based on Perceived Color Difference and Gradient Magnitude
sensors Letter Assessment of Camouflage Effectiveness Based on Perceived Color Difference and Gradient Magnitude Xueqiong Bai, Ningfang Liao * and Wenmin Wu National Laboratory of Colour Science and Engineering, School of Optics and Photonics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing 100081, China; [email protected] (X.B.); [email protected] (W.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-136-7121-0649 Received: 22 June 2020; Accepted: 16 August 2020; Published: 19 August 2020 Abstract: We propose a new model to assess the effectiveness of camouflage in terms of perceived color difference and gradient magnitude. The “image color similarity index” (ICSI) and gradient magnitude similarity deviation (GMSD) were employed to analyze color and texture differences, respectively, between background and camouflage images. Information entropy theory was used to calculate weights for each metric, yielding an overall camouflage effectiveness metric. During the analysis process, both spatial and color perceptions of the human visual system (HVS) were considered, to mimic real-world observations. Subjective tests were used to compare our proposed method with previous methods, and our results confirmed the validity of assessing camouflage effectiveness based on perceived color difference and gradient magnitude. Keywords: image processing; color appearance; camouflage effectiveness 1. Introduction Camouflage, which serves to blend objects into the background by using similar colors and patterns, has many applications in the fields of bionics and robotics, and for military purposes. Over the past few decades, elements of computer vision, statistical analysis, image processing, nanomaterials, human visual perception, and ergonomics have been introduced to camouflage research [1–5]. A good evaluation method to test the effectiveness of camouflage is very important—one which can provide an effective theoretical basis for camouflage research, predict the performance of camouflage in advance, and help to subsequently optimize the design of camouflage patterns. -

Devil Dog's Creed
As Marines, as members of both the League and the Order, as veterans of all wars of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, as well as service in peacetime; we sub- scribe to the Devil Dog’s Creed. DEVIL DOG’S CREED By PDD George E. Williams, August 1989 (modified, August 2008) I am an American, I was born in France. I hold the title of United States Marine, and understand the commitment of holding the title, Devil Dog. It is a tradition born at Belleau Wood in the year 1918, of a force in readiness and the “First to Fight.” As a Devil Dog, I ask no quarter and give no quarter. I will do everything in my power to uphold the objectives of the Military Order of Devil Dogs and to carry out my duties to a swift and satisfactory completion. RITUAL OF THE MILITARY ORDER OF THE DEVIL DOGS, INC. It was the intent of Chief Devil Dog Don Garland, in completely revising and revamping this Ritual, to give to the membership of the Military Order of the Devil Dogs, Inc. a guide for the proper procedure for the opening, conduct, and closing of growls; observance of the rites of installation, initiations and obligations; as well as funeral and memorial ceremonies befitting our departed members who were, at the same time, DEVIL DOGS and Marines. Although we have observed a Ritual procedure for many years, the most recent version is unorganized in sequence and hard to follow. As the FUN AND HONOR SOCIETY of the Marine Corps League, Inc.
