  • The United States Atomic Army, 1956-1960 Dissertation
    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

  • 1775 – Spring 2015
    The Journal of the Adjutant General’s Corps Regimental Association SPRING 2015 INTEGRATED PERSONNEL AND PAY SYSTEM - ARMY Military Pay Transition US ARMY HUMAN RESOURCES WILL WELCOME A NEW COMMANDING GENERAL FORT KNOX, KY – On 5 June 2015, MG Richard P. Mustion, Commanding General, US Army Human Resources Command, will relinquish command to MG Thomas Seamands and retire from the US Army after more than 34 years of honorable service to the Army and the Nation. MG Mustion assumed command of Human Resources Command in August 2012 and has guided the command through an Army in persistent conflict and continuous deployments to an Army that is resetting and facing significant turbulence through a substantial draw down of forces. MG Mustion’s vision for future human resources support of Army operations resulted in his spearheading the new HR Optimization initiative that will accomplish the following: 1) Enable execution of Mission Command by MG Richard P. Mustion Senior Commanders over the HR domain and allow G1s to effectively conduct training readiness oversight (TRO) support for Corps / Divisions / Brigades, and execute the resultant additional HR oversight; 2) Realign Army HR support to Senior Commanders through the multifunctional HR capability and direct support execution from the HR Company; 3) Reassess Standard Requirements Code 12 HR unit structure / requirements and determine new HR Company structure for DS at Corps and a new HR Operations Center (HROC) construct for ASCCs; and 4) Assess a potential shift of responsibility for the Army’s Postal mission and review the HR Operations Branch (HROB) structure in Sustainment Brigades and ESCs.

    OULD SEPT. 11'S FLIGHT 93 be the key to unraveling the entire 9-11 mystery? In Phantom C Flight 93—-the first and only book to emerge from the 9-11 truth movement on this subject—you will discover how this event in Shanksville could very well be the smoking gun which exposes the government's falsehoods once and for all. Starting with physical evidence—especially a 10 x 12 foot crater in an abandoned strip mine—it becomes clear that a passenger jetliner could not have possibly crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where federal officials said it did. Rather, the reality of that fateful morning is much more troublesome, and far more sinister. Also revealed in this book are a plethora of lies concerning the now-infamous cell phone calls purportedly made by individuals such as Todd Beamer, 9-11 passenger list oddities, corrupt officials who have been covering-up this matter, and the many inexplicable anomalies surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks on America and the fate of Flight 93. For far too long, Flight 93 has been overlooked by researchers and commentators in the alternative media. With the arrival of Phantom Flight 93, the public will finally see that they were deceived not only about the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon, but also about an unproven crash in southwest Pennsylvania which became the stuff of legend, but was ultimately nothing more than a poorly executed hoax. DEDICATION: This book is dedicated to all those who lost their lives on the morning of September 11, 2001, their survivors, and to those who have relentlessly pursued the truth about what really happened that fateful day.
