DOD Contractor's Safety Manual for Ammunition and Explosives DoD 4145.26-M DOD Contractor’s Safety Manual For Ammunition and Explosives March 13, 2008 UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR ACQUISITION, TECHNOLOGY, AND LOGISTICS DoD 4145.26-M, March 13, 2008 This Manual is reissued under the authority of and in accordance with DoD Instruction 4145.26 (Reference (a)) and, accordingly, is applicable to all contractual actions entered into on or after the reissue date. The prior DoD 4145.26-M (Reference (b)), dated September 16, 1997, is hereby rescinded and superseded, yet will remain applicable and effective for contractual actions entered into on or after September 16, 1997 and before the reissue date. The Manual provides safety standards common to DoD and private industry ammunition and explosives (AE), operations, and facilities performing AE work or AE services under DoD contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, or other procurement methods. DoD 6055.9-STD (Reference (c)) establishes these AE safety standards and serves as the primary source document for this Manual. The explosives safety requirements included in this Manual are consistent with Reference (c) so that AE safety standards for DoD Components and DoD contractors are equivalent. Subpart 223.370 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (Reference (d)) requires contracting officers to incorporate this Manual in all AE procurement actions. The purchasing activity may include additional AE or related safety requirements that are not inconsistent with this Manual as it deems necessary. The Manual should be incorporated into AE procurement actions in order to legally bind the contractor to follow the provisions contained therein. This revision removes the chapter on hazard component data statements and updates quantity distance requirements and basic AE safety principles. Questions on interpretation of any requirement in this Manual by the contractor should be submitted through the contractor’s assigned administrative contracting officer to the procuring contracting officer for further review and resolution. This Manual applies to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Military Departments (including their Reserve Components), the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Combatant Commands, the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense, the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities, and all other organizational entities in the Department of Defense (hereafter referred to collectively as the “DoD Components”). This Manual is effective immediately, and is mandatory for use by all the DoD Components as specified in Reference (a). 2 FOREWORD DoD 4145.26-M, March 13, 2008 Forward recommendations for change to this Manual to: Chairman Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board Room 856C, Hoffman Building I 2461 Eisenhower Avenue Alexandria, VA 22331-0600 RELEASABILITY.

This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.

The site has been recorded by several surveys, and was subjected to salvage excavations from 2003-2007. This excavation confirmed multiple components identified in previous surveys, and added a wider chronological range and occupation area. Current excavations also identified a palisade that appeared to have been built before all of the adjacent Mississippian structures, as well as one of the mounds. Using stratigraphy, GIS, and ceramic analysis, the date of this palisade was determined to be Late Woodland or Early Mississippian.

The first step was to perform archaeological test excavations on the Fort Fair Haven site in order to confirm that we had, in fact, located the 1862 historical site of Fort Fair Haven. Once we successfully determined that it was indeed the fort, then the second step was to analyze these findings and use them in conjunction with archival research in order to better understand what kind of actual defensive function it could have provided.

  • Volume Two Appendix 1: Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible Villa Sites in Britain 4Ppendix 1 Introduction to the Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible
    Volume Two Appendix 1: Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible Villa Sites in Britain 4ppendix 1_ Introduction to the Catalogue of Known, Suspected and Possible Roman Villas in Britain The existence of some villas can be held to be self-evident: they have been at least partially excavated and shown to be rectilinear masonry buildings, perhaps with baths, mosaics arid hypocausts. However, before a site is actually excavated - or given a thorough geophysical or successful aerial survey - it is difficult to discern its exact nature. Any surface scatter of Roman artefacts, particularly building debris, may indicate the presence of a villa. This presents the thorniest of problems to the compiler of a catalogue of possible villa sites, for a field scatter of Roman material may also represent the site of a temple, a mansio, a small town, a 'native settlement' or even a heavily manured field. Yet field scatters must be taken into account, because they may prove to be villas. They are certainly likely to prove to be a settlement of some sort. Even a light field scatter belies a much greater amount of material beneath the surface. Ebcperiments by Ainmerman (1985) and Parker- Pearson (pers. comm.) on the relationship of surface to sub-surface artefact densities have demonstrated that a relatively small amount of material - as little as 2% of the total - is present on the surface at any one time. These results have been confirmed with Roman material in Britain by Gaffney and Tingle (1985) at Maddle Farm (BK27) and by Hayfield at 1harram (NK37)(pers. Comm.).
