April 26, 2019 Prepare for ‘Rangers Lead the Way’ Extreme Weather, Wildfires Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security Vol. 77, No. 16 April 26, 2019 Prepare for ‘Rangers lead the way’ extreme weather, wildfires Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security With summer quickly approaching, it is time to consider several hazards which have the potential to affect the Fort Carson community. ’Tis the season for severe thunder and lightning storms, which can start fires and create flash flood conditions. Extreme weather happens throughout the year, however, the current focus of the emergency management staff in Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security (DPTMS) is on the summer extreme weather conditions and wildfires. Extreme weather includes tornadoes, hailstorms, flooding and severe thunderstorms. This time of year, humidity is very low, typically in the single digits or in the teens, which can lead to very dry fire conditions. These conditions provide for an intense wildland fire season, yet the periodic flash floods can menace many of the creeks. The one thing each of these extreme weather conditions or wildfires have in common is each individual person and how well-prepared a person is. Now is the time to think about preparing emergency kits and talking with family about creating a plan in the case of severe weather or wildfires. What is the plan? How will family members communicate? What about pets? If power is lost for an extended period of time, is there enough shelf stable food and potable water on hand to last for three days? Fort Carson community members should consider participating in the following activities to help prepare for future severe weather events. • Sign up for local alerts and warnings by enrolling in Fort Carson’s emergency warning and mass notification system, called AtHoc; a link is on the Fort Carson homepage • El Paso County operates a mass warning notification system as well; register cell phone numbers by visiting the El Paso-Teller 911 Authority at https:// elpasoteller911.org • Assemble or update emergency supplies for home, car and workplace • Learn about local hazards and create a Family Emergency Plan; don’t forget pets • Collect and safeguard critical documents, keep them in a fireproof, safe place or create password- protected digital copies Photo by Markeith Horace • Document property and obtain appropriate The 28 remaining teams of the 2019 Best Ranger Competition begin day two events at Todd Field with various insurance for relevant hazards round-robin events April 13 at Fort Benning, Ga. The teams took part in a modified Army Combat Fitness Test, an Expert Infantryman Badge weapons lane and a dual-tower and knot-testing challenge.

Calhoun Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Dr. Theodore A. Wilson ________________________________ Dr. Robert F. Baumann ________________________________ Dr. Christopher R. Gabel ________________________________ Dr. Jeffrey P. Moran ________________________________ Dr. Brent J. Steele Date Defended: April 6, 2012 The Dissertation Committee for Mark T. Calhoun certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: General Lesley J. McNair: Little-Known Architect of the U.S. Army ________________________________ Dr. Theodore A. Wilson Date approved: April 6, 2012 ii ABSTRACT General Lesley J. McNair demonstrated an innovative spirit and exceptional intellectual capacity in his efforts to organize and train the U.S. Army for World War II. The influence he exerted on Army doctrine, training, equipment development, unit organization, and combined arms fighting methods placed him among the handful of generals most responsible for both the effectiveness and the flaws of the force that the United States sent to war in 1942. Through his strong views and aggressive leadership, McNair played a key role in guiding the Army’s interwar mechanization and doctrinal development efforts. Many studies of this period have described aspects of his participation in that process. However, no comprehensive study of McNair’s forty-year military career exists, largely because he did not survive the war, and he left behind no personal memoirs or diaries when he died of wounds inflicted by errant American bombs in Normandy on July 25, 1944.

This conflict has been categorized as a "police action", not a war, therefore little has been published by the Chief of Military History, Department of the Army or by individuals. However, the material available to our historian is believed to be of such importance as to justify its publication in this volume of our official history. While Washington National Guard units did not actually serve in Korea during this "police action", our Air National Guard and certain artillery units were inducted into service to replace like regular air and army units withdrawn for service in Korea. However, many Washington men participated in the action as did the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Divisions, both of which had been stationed at Fort Lewis and other Washington military installations.

Lewis, Ph.D. ________________________________ Co-Chair: Theodore A. Wilson, Ph.D. Date approved: 06 December 2016 iii Abstract In late spring, 1941, a small group of U.S. Army officers traveled to Britain to plan for Anglo-American cooperation if and when the U.S. entered World War II. Because the United States was still a neutral country and to prevent potential enemies from knowing the group's purpose, the U.S. Army called its mission to Britain the "U.S. Army Special Observer Group" (SPOBS). From May, 1941 until June, 1942, SPOBS (known as U.S. Army Forces in the British Isles or USAFBI after January 8, 1942) developed plans with the British for establishing U.S forces in the British Isles. Changing strategic conditions however, made much of this work obsolete. As a result, the Allies had to develop new plans for establishing U.S.

Present Owner: National Capital Region, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior Present Occupant: Various park units in the National Capital Region Present Use: Park and recreational facilities Significance: The Civilian Conservation Corps activities in the National Capital Region of the National Park Service illustrate the important role of this program in employing out-of-work youth to create a national recreation infrastructure during the 1930s. The National Capital Region work represents a mix of rural and urban projects indicative of CCC initiatives in metropolitan areas. While not as well-known as the rustic architecture built by the CCC for national parks in wilderness areas, the Washington-area CCC camps participated in many types of construction and tasks including parkways, picnic groves, erosion control, playgrounds, athletic fields, historical restorations, and Recreational Demonstration Area camping facilities. Many of these projects formed the basis for later expansion of recreational amenities in the National Capital Region. Historians: Lisa Pfueller Davidson (overview narrative), James A.
