Preston ion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Sergeant Major of the Army Division, was conducting a routine security pa- trol with her unit in the Jani Khail district of O Paktika Province in Afghanistan when one of the vehicles in the convoy hit an improvised explosive device (IED). Immediately after the explosion, the patrol fell under machine-gun and ri- fle fire—they were under attack. PFC Brown and her platoon sergeant, SSgt. José Santos, left their vehicle and ran toward the Humvee that had exploded the IED. They could see that all five passengers had exited the burning vehicle, but PFC Brown also saw that each soldier was hurt.

Soldiers from her unit held off the attackers, who eventually began to re- treat. While the medevac helicopter was on its way, PFC Brown treated the soldiers’ injuries more thoroughly. Her brave, swift response ensured the sol- diers’ survival. Nearly a year later, at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Vice President Dick Cheney awarded Spc. Brown the Silver Star for her gallant actions during combat. She became the second female soldier since World War II to receive the award.

  • Small Arms… As a Last Resort
    1 Small Arms… As a Last Resort By Phil D. Harrison One can only contemplate the fearful moment of realisation that a situation has become dire, there are few options available, and in reality there will be ‘no quarter’ from your adversaries. At such a critical moment there is a desperate need for all systems, including small arms, to work flawlessly. The following Article discusses three historic battles, where such a situation arose. This Article aims to focus on dismounted infantry small arms and should not be considered as an exhaustive account of the battles or the circumstances surrounding those battles. I have also tried to address the small arms ‘bigger picture.’ This Article is my endeavour to better appreciate the role of small arms at three influential moments in history. The following is a ‘distillation’ of the information available in the public domain and consequently, there may be disappointment for those seeking new research findings. I hope that this ‘distillation’ may be helpful to those looking for insights into these events. The topic deserves a more lengthy discourse than can be afforded here and therefore, much has been omitted. The three battles discussed are as follows: th th (1) Ia Drang; November 14 -15 1965 (with reference to Hill 881; April-May 1967) (2) Mirbat: July 19th, 1972 (3) Wanat: July 13th, 2008 2 th th (1) Ia Drang; November 14 -15 1965 (with reference to Hill 881; April-May 1967) Above photo by Mike Alford LZ-Albany LZ-X Ray http://www.generalhieu.com/iadrang_arvn-2.htm 3 As an introduction I would like to mention a brief Article from: The Milwaukee Sentinel, of Tuesday 23rd may, 1967 entitled: Men Killed Trying to Unjam Rifles, Marine Writes Home.

    Comptroller General of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: FN Manufacturing, LLC File: B-402059.4; B-402059.5 Date: March 22, 2010 Joseph J. Dyer, Esq., Martin J. Golub, Esq., Amanda B. Weiner, Esq., and Daniel P. Wierzba, Esq., Seyfarth Shaw LLP, for the protester. Michael A. Hordell, Esq., Joyce K. Hackenbrach, Esq., Stanley R. Soya, Esq., and Heather Kilgore Weiner, Esq., Pepper Hamilton LLP, for the intervenor. Vera Meza, Esq., and Caridad Ramos, Esq., U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the agency. Edward Goldstein, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency’s evaluation of awardee’s past performance as relevant based on comparative complexity of awardee’s past performance references was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation which afforded the agency the discretion to consider “the degree to which contracts are of a comparable complexity, size or value to the proposed effort” in determining relevance. DECISION FN Manufacturing, LLC, of Columbia, South Carolina, protests the award of a contract to Colt Defense LLC, of West Hartford, Connecticut, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W56HZV-09-R-0402, issued by the U.S. Army Materiel Command for the supply of M240B machine guns. FN argues that the Army did not reasonably evaluate Colt’s past performance in accordance with the solicitation’s evaluation criteria, the Army’s technical evaluation was flawed, and its source selection decision was unreasonable.
