Grenadier Sighting System (GSS) Serves As a Replacement for the Previously Fielded Sight to the M320/M320A1 Grenade Launcher Module (GLM)

TDS158, A-5 MODULAR BY DESIGN™ GSS GRENADIER SIGHTING SYSTEM PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Wilcox Grenadier Sighting System (GSS) serves as a replacement for the previously fielded sight to the M320/M320A1 Grenade Launcher Module (GLM). The GSS addresses the capability gap within the forces to effectively engage targets, during day and at night, with the M320/M320A1 GLM. The GSS is designed for mounting to both the M4 carbine /M16 rifle forward rail when the M320 is in the under barrel configuration as well as on the top of the M320 GL when carried in a standalone configuration. The GSS produces dramatic increases in probability of hit both day and night engagements in an extremely compact package. WEAPON COMPATIBILITY FORWARD COMPATIBILITY • M16A4 rifle / M4A1 carbine (under-barrel configuration) • Add/store ballistic solutions for current/future ammunition • M320 (stand-alone configuration) • Updatable firmware/software • Interface capability with external devices for data transmission FEATURES & BENEFITS • 0-45 degree firing angle for compatibility with current/future ammunition • Reflex optical sight with integral back up iron sights • Near infrared (NIR) aiming laser engagement at night SPECIFICATIONS • NIR illuminator for increased recognition and identification Weight: less than 11 ounces • Aiming references to correspond to ballistic range Size: Volume: less than 16 cubic inches Color: coyote / tan • User selectable ballistic solution for weapon/ammunition NIR Laser Output Power: Low: ~ 0.6 milliwatts • Quick selector for 2 pre-programmed ballistic solutions High: ~ 30 milliwatts NIR Illumination Output Power: • Sensors (temperature, pressure) for ballistic compensation Low: ~ 3.5 milliwatts High: ~ 30 milliwatts Cant Indicator for increased accuracy when firing • • Sleep mode with auto wake up • Mounts to MIL-STD-1913 rail without modification • Includes M320 stand-alone mount ©2018 Wilcox Industries Corp.

Defense at the Forward Edge of the Battle Or Rather in the Depth? Different Approaches to Implement NATO’S Operation Plans by the Alliance Partners, 1955-1988
Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 15, ISSUE 3, 2014 Studies Defense at the Forward Edge of the Battle or rather in the Depth? Different approaches to implement NATO’s operation plans by the alliance partners, 1955-1988 LTC Helmut R. Hammerich Military historians love studying battles. For this purpose, they evaluate operation plans and analyze how these plans were executed on the battlefield. The battle history of the Cold War focuses first and foremost on the planning for the nuclear clash between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Although between 1945 and 1989-90 the world saw countless hot wars on the periphery of the Cold War, the “Cold World War,” as the German historian Jost Dülffer termed it, is best examined through the operational plans of the military alliances for what would have been World War Three. To conduct such an analysis we must consider Total War under nuclear conditions. Analyzing the war planning, however, is far from easy. The main difficulty lies in access to the files. The records of both the Warsaw Pact and NATO are still largely classified and therefore relatively inaccessible. Nor is access to the archives in Moscow two decades after glasnost and perestroika at all encouraging. At the request of historians, NATO has begun to declassify some of its key documents. Nonetheless, the specific details of the nuclear operational planning will continue to remain inaccessible to historians for the foreseeable future. As an alternative, historians then are forced to rely on collateral documents in the various national archives or on the compilations of ©Centre of Military and Strategic Studies, 2014 ISSN : 1488-559X VOLUME 15, ISSUE 3, 2014 diverse oral history projects.

Dutch Military Power at the Time of the Early Bakufu Army, 1861-1864
Title Dutch Military Power at the Time of the Early Bakufu Army, 1861-1864 Author(s) Bara, Xavier Citation 国際公共政策研究. 16(1) P.295-P.307 Issue Date 2011-09 Text Version publisher URL http://hdl.handle.net/11094/23027 DOI rights Note Osaka University Knowledge Archive : OUKA https://ir.library.osaka-u.ac.jp/ Osaka University 295 Dutch Military Power at the Time of the Early Bakufu Army, 1861-1864 BARA Xavier * Abstract During the Bunkyū Era (1861-1864), the Tokugawa Bakufu created its fi rst regular army, while the Kingdom of the Netherlands was its main provider of Western military science. Consequently, the bakufu army was formed according to a new model that introduced regulations and equipment of Dutch origins. However, what was the real military power of the Netherlands behind this Dutch primacy in Japan? The article presents an overview of the Dutch defences and army in the early 1860s, in order to evaluate the gap between the Dutch military infl uence in Japan and the Dutch military power in Europe. Keywords： Royal Dutch Army, Belgian secession, middle power, fortifi cations, Prussian-Dutch entente * Belgian Doctoral Student (University of Liège), Research Student (Osaka University), and Reserve Second Lieutenant (Belgian Army, Horse-Jagers), the author is a military historian and experimental archaeologist specialized in the armies of the Austro-Prussian rivalry be- tween 1848 and 1866, and in their infl uence in some other armies of the same period, including the Dutch army. 296 国際公共政策研究第16巻第1号 Introduction In 1862, the bakufu army was established by the Bunkyū Reforms, in order to revive the shogunal power of the Tokugawa.

The 7Th.Royal Fusiliers
The 7th.Royal Fusiliers And their part in The American War of Independence 1775 - 1781 and New Orleans 1815 Compiled and Collated from Regimental Records By J P Kelleher II In March 1773 the Royal Fusiliers embarked at Portsmouth England bound for Canada. Having arrived, they performed garrison duty at Quebec for several months then embarked for Montreal, and occupied several posts in Lower Canada. While here the misunderstanding between Great Britain and her North American colonies, on the subject of taxes, attained a crisis; thirteen states united against the mother country, and hostilities having commenced, the Congress resolved to attempt the conquest of Canada. The only forces in Lower Canada, at this period, were the 7th.and 26th.Regiments, and their numbers being weak, even though the 7th. had received a draft from England under Lieut. Despard, they were unequal to the defence of this extensive province against the very superior numbers of the enemy and in the autumn of 1774 re-embarked for Montreal leaving a detachment under the command of Major the Honourable Joseph Stopford of the 7th. at Fort Chamblé, 1775 On 10th.May, 1775, a body of Americans ( Continentals) led by Ethan Allan surprised and captured the posts of Ticonderago and Crown-Point; and this success was followed by the advance of two divisions of the American army at different points. The British governor, Lieutenant General Carlton, sent 150 Royal Fusiliers and part of the 26th.Regt.from Montreal to St.John's, where they were employed in constructing two redoubts. In the autumn one division of the Continentals or American army, under Colonel Montgomery ( a native of Ireland who had quitted the British service a short time before, and settled in New York)and under the command of General Schuyler besieged St.

Conscript Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard
The Napoleon Series Conscript-Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard By Paul Dawson The Imperial Guard of Napoleon is perhaps the most famous military organisation of the early 19th century. The senior regiments of this organisation have been the subject of much scholarly research over the last 170 years. However, the junior cadre of the Guard has not been the subject of any detailed research to the same degree as the Grenadiers a Pied or the history of the Guard in general. In late 1808, Napoleon’s Grande Armee returned from Spain, and the Emperor was in an economising mood; he needed a way in which to make the army more attractive to conscripts with the troubles in Spain continuing and war with Austria plainly coming. Napoleon’s economy drive of 1808 saw the disbandment of the ‘extremely expensive’ 2eme Grenadiers and Chasseurs a Pied de la Garde, and the birth of the ‘Young Guard’. Thus on 16th January the cadre of the Grenadiers and were transformed into Grenadiers-Conscripts, which were soon restyled Grenadier- Tirailleur. The ranks were filled with the best of the year’s conscripts. The regiment was attached to the Grenadiers a Pied, and was equipped as light infantry. The new regiment was organised into two battalions of six companies, of 200 men each, to be commanded by a Major, assisted by two Chef de Bataillon, each company to be headed by a Capitaine, all of which were drawn from the 2eme Grenadiers a Pied who retained their status, uniforms and pay. The sous-lieutenants were drawn from the school at Saint-Cyr.
