Usafalmanac ■ Gallery of USAF Weapons
USAFAlmanac ■ Gallery of USAF Weapons By Susan H.H. Young The B-1B’s conventional capability is being significantly enhanced by the ongoing Conventional Mission Upgrade Program (CMUP). This gives the B-1B greater lethality and survivability through the integration of precision and standoff weapons and a robust ECM suite. CMUP will include GPS receivers, a MIL-STD-1760 weapon interface, secure radios, and improved computers to support precision weapons, initially the JDAM, followed by the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) and the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM). The Defensive System Upgrade Program will improve aircrew situational awareness and jamming capability.

THE SOLDIER: Centerpiece of the United States Army
Torchbearer National Security Report � �llcrl.bicmFo Centerpiece ofthe United States Anny 15 October 2004 The U.S. Army continues to be a decisive component of America’s national security strategy and a critical part of the joint team. At the heart of the U.S. Army are its Soldiers—the centerpiece of its formations and the foundation of the nation’s combat power. At a House Armed Services Committee hearing in September 2004, Colonel Michael Linnington, who served as a 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) brigade commander in Iraq, testified: “It was not uncommon for my Soldiers to be rebuilding schools and medical clinics during the day and conducting mounted and foot patrols at night, or fighting insurgents in one part of town while assisting with elections in another. In all of these operations, our Soldiers performed magnificently with courage, dedication, selflessness, compassion and respect for the Iraqi people.” It is no wonder that TIME magazine, in its issue of 5 January 2004, named the American Soldier as the TIME “Person of the Year.” The American Soldier—active, Army National Guard, Army Reserve—has consistently embodied all that is good about America. We at AUSA understand and appreciate the values, contributions and sacrifices of our Soldiers. In recognition of their selfless and loyal service yesterday, today and tomorrow, our Council of Trustees is presenting the prestigious George Catlett Marshall Medal to the American Soldier on 27 October 2004 at the AUSA Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. In this latest installment of AUSA’s signature Torchbearer series, we highlight the significance of America’s Soldiers to today’s Army and Joint Force and sound the clarion call to make them more effective and survivable by ensuring they have the necessary resources to conduct tough warrior-like training and receive state-of-the-art equipment before they deploy. -

Carlron Ian Whitaker r External Examiner Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Simon Fraror Univerrlty ABSTRACT This thesis examines a number of ethno~raphicallycol- lected socketed harpoon heads and valves from the Northwest Coast. The aim of this thesis is to discover correlations between the formal attributes of harpoons and recorded func- tion. One hundred and twenty-seven specimen8 from the British Columbia Provincial Museum in Victoria, the National Museum of Man in Ottawa and the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnoloay at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby were examined and recorded. The methodology involved first of all establishine a standard- ized terminoloey for socketed harpoon heads and their consti- tuent parts. This terminology was then applied to the des- criptions of harpoon heads found in the ethnographic literature. Once the morpholoeical-functional types had been defined for the various groups, extendine from the Coast Salish in the south to the Tlingit in the north, the typology was ap~liedto the data in order to specify the formal attributes of the pre- viously defined types, or, conversely, to modify and redefine those types presented in the literature on the basis of the substantive data.
