Book Synopsis Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans and Agent Orange Exposure by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans and Agent Orange Exposure written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 3 million U.S. military personnel were sent to Southeast Asia to fight in the Vietnam War. Since the end of the Vietnam War, veterans have reported numerous health effects. Herbicides used in Vietnam, in particular Agent Orange have been associated with a variety of cancers and other long term health problems from Parkinson's disease and type 2 diabetes to heart disease. Prior to 1997 laws safeguarded all service men and women deployed to Vietnam including members of the Blue Navy. Since then, the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) has established that Vietnam veterans are automatically eligible for disability benefits should they develop any disease associated with Agent Orange exposure, however, veterans who served on deep sea vessels in Vietnam are not included. These "Blue Water Navy" veterans must prove they were exposed to Agent Orange before they can claim benefits. At the request of the VA, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) examined whether Blue Water Navy veterans had similar exposures to Agent Orange as other Vietnam veterans. Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans and Agent Orange Exposure comprehensively examines whether Vietnam veterans in the Blue Water Navy experienced exposures to herbicides and their contaminants by reviewing historical reports, relevant legislation, key personnel insights, and chemical analysis to resolve current debate on this issue.

Book Synopsis Army Water Sustainment by : Thomas P. Murphy
Download or read book Army Water Sustainment written by Thomas P. Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Army, access to water is fundamental to ensure unit readiness and preparedness to execute effective combat operations. Clean, potable water enables commanders to achieve military success in support of campaign and political objectives. Planners in general and logisticians specifically, at every level, must understand and analyze the Army's capability and capacity to purify and distribute water, in order to implement the Tenets of Unified Land Operations successfully. The intent of planning water purification and distribution operations is to determine if the Army can meet and sustain its forces' water requirements during contingency operations effectively in anticipated, austere environments. Such capabilities are critical to enable the Army to perform its two core competencies of combined arms maneuver and wide are security. This paper offers an analysis of the Army's Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) current water purification and distribution capabilities and capacities; examines the Army's shortfalls in water support; and recommends steps to alleviate these shortfalls.

This book was released on 2015-11 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-44 / MCRP 3-17.7Q Water Support Operations October 2015 is the United States Army and United States Marine Corps manual for planning and executing water support for missions conducted across the full range of military operations. In the U.S. Army, water support operations are a Quartermaster Corps function, as well as a component of Army Logistics. Army Logistics is an element of the sustainment warfighting function, which provides the operational commander freedom of action, extended operational reach, and operational endurance. Water support operations include water treatment, storage and distribution. Water treatment is a field service function, while water storage and distribution are supply functions. In the U.S. Marine Corps, water support operations are a general engineering function, as well as a component of tactical-level logistics. Logistics is a warfighting function in the Marine Corps. Water support operations are critical to the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps; they directly impact the depth and duration of military operations. ATP 4-44/MCRP 3-17.7Q will combine, restructure, and update information previously published in three field manuals: FM 10-52, Water Supply in Theaters of Operations, dated 11 July 1990. FM 10-52-1, Water Supply Point Equipment and Operations, dated 18 June 1991. FM 10-115, Quartermaster Water Units, dated 15 February 1989. ATP 4-44/MCRP 3-17.7Q contains numerous revisions. The title has been changed to Water Support Operations to correctly incorporate terminology from FM 4-40, Quartermaster Operations and JP 4-03, Joint Bulk Petroleum and Water Doctrine. This publication incorporates current terminology from the Army's operational concept described in ADRP 3-0, Unified Land Operations. Additional current terminology is also included from FM 4-40, Quartermaster Operations, Technical Bulletin Medical 577, Sanitary Control And Surveillance of Field Water Supplies, JP 4-03, Joint Bulk Petroleum and Water Doctrine, STANAG 2136, Requirements for Water Potability during Field Operations and in Emergency Situations, and STANAG 2885, Emergency Supply of Water in Operations. Information that has been revised from previous publications includes force structure changes, new equipment fielding, and improved planning techniques. Information that has been added to this publication includes strategic partners, web-based planning tools, environmental stewardship, and location of joint welldigging capabilities. ATP 4-44/MCRP 3-17.7Q contains five chapters: Chapter 1 provides an overview of water support operations, to include water treatment, storage, distribution, and issue. In addition, this chapter will familiarize the reader with water organizations and staffs in the United States Army and United States Marine Corps. Chapter 2 discusses planning for water support operations. Water consumption requirements, water reconnaissance, and deployment preparation are explained in detail. Water planning tools are provided up front to assist staff members and water support personnel in planning operations. Environmental and health considerations are also discussed. Chapter 3 provides considerations for developing a water site to improve efficiency. This chapter will also include techniques for improving a water source to meet raw water requirements. Chapter 4 discusses water treatment operations, to include water quality, water treatment process, operator level planning, equipment, reports, and safety. In addition, this chapter will discuss extreme weather and environmental considerations. Chapter 5 discusses water storage, distribution, and issue operations. This chapter will include information on hypo-chlorination standards, as well as respective equipment and reports.
Book Synopsis The U.S. Military's Reliance on Bottled Water During Military Operations by : James S. Moore
Download or read book The U.S. Military's Reliance on Bottled Water During Military Operations written by James S. Moore and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The United States has been the world's leading superpower when it comes to capability and capacity since the end of World War II. History continues to show us that we will provide military forces in support of domestic, international conflicts and instability worldwide, now and in the future. With our capacity and capability we can do many things, especially provide drinkable water to our military forces, partners and those who are tasked to help in support of the military and humanitarian operations we conduct. This thesis examines the U.S. military's increasing reliance on the use of bottled water in conducting these military operations. The U.S. military has been conducting operations across all spectrums of conflict throughout history, and most recently in Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti and support to Japan. In all of these operations, the U.S. military was heavily reliant on the use of bottled water to support our forces, as part of the tool to win the hearts and minds of the people in the execution of our mission. The military has the capability to produce its own water once established in an area of operations, but bottled water has been the drink of choice by a majority of our forces and other personnel. Bottled water is not always economically effective and is very resource intensive, but some indications show that it may be a necessity in the early stages of the mission in a theater of operations, mainly because it is easy to procure and the choice of a majority of the military force. This thesis begins with a review of the history, economic impact, and planning considerations when using bottled water in military operations. The paper will then offer a look at our water supply capability and dependence upon bottled water through two elements of operational design, operational reach and arranging operations, while looking at our water support capacity through the lens of Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personnel, and Policy (DOTMLP-P). Lastly, this thesis will propose alternatives and considerations regarding this military problem."--Abstract

Book Synopsis The Russian Way of War by : Lester W. Grau
Download or read book The Russian Way of War written by Lester W. Grau and published by Mentor Military. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Force Structure, Tactics, and Modernization of the Russian Ground Forces The mighty Soviet Army is no more. The feckless Russian Army that stumbled into Chechnya is no more. Today's Russian Army is modern, better manned, better equipped and designed for maneuver combat under nuclear-threatened conditions. This is your source for the tactics, equipment, force structure and theoretical underpinnings of a major Eurasian power. Here's what the experts are saying: "A superb baseline study for understanding how and why the modern Russian Army functions as it does. Essential for specialist and generalist alike." -Colonel (Ret) David M. Glantz, foremost Western author on the Soviet Union in World War II and Editor of The Journal of Slavic Military Studies. "Congratulations to Les Grau and Chuck Bartles on filling a gap which has yawned steadily wider since the end of the USSR. Their book addresses evolving Russian views on war, including the blurring of its nature and levels, and the consequent Russian approaches to the Ground Forces' force structuring, manning, equipping, and tactics. Confidence is conferred on the validity of their arguments and conclusions by copious footnoting, mostly from an impressive array of primary sources. It is this firm grounding in Russian military writings, coupled with the authors' understanding of war and the Russian way of thinking about it, that imparts such an authoritative tone to this impressive work." -Charles Dick, former Director of the Combat Studies Research Centre, Senior Fellow at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, author of the 1991 British Army Field Manual, Volume 2, A Treatise on Soviet Operational Art and author of From Victory to Stalemate The Western Front, Summer 1944 and From Defeat to Victory, The Eastern Front, Summer 1944. "Dr. Lester Grau's and Chuck Bartles' professional research on the Russian Armed Forces is widely read throughout the world and especially in Russia. Russia's Armed Forces have changed much since the large-scale reforms of 2008, which brought the Russian Army to the level of the world's other leading armies. The speed of reform combined with limited information about their core mechanisms represented a difficult challenge to the authors. They have done a great job and created a book which could be called an encyclopedia of the modern armed forces of Russia. They used their wisdom and talents to explore vital elements of the Russian military machine: the system of recruitment and training, structure of units of different levels, methods and tactics in defense and offence and even such little-known fields as the Arctic forces and the latest Russian combat robotics." -Dr. Vadim Kozyulin, Professor of Military Science and Project Director, Project on Asian Security, Emerging Technologies and Global Security Project PIR Center, Moscow. "Probably the best book on the Russian Armed Forces published in North America during the past ten years. A must read for all analysts and professionals following Russian affairs. A reliable account of the strong and weak aspects of the Russian Army. Provides the first look on what the Russian Ministry of Defense learned from best Western practices and then applied them on Russian soil." -Ruslan Pukhov, Director of the Moscow-based Centre for the Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST) and member of the Public Council of the Russian Federation Ministry of Defense. Author of Brothers Armed: Military Aspects of the Crisis in Ukraine, Russia's New Army, and The Tanks of August.
Book Synopsis Water Survival Training by : Department of the Army
Download or read book Water Survival Training written by Department of the Army and published by . This book was released on 1991-06-25 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are times during military training when soldiers may need to negotiate water obstacles. Leaders at all levels should be aware of the potentially dangerous situation this presents for soldiers who fear water or cannot swim. Each year many soldiers lose their lives through their inability to manage themselves in water. In addition, soldiers hamper water maneuvers by their lack of confidence and expertise. It is unrealistic to expect that every soldier will be a proficient swimmer. However, every soldier can be trained to participate safely in military training conducted in aquatic environments. Water survival training will build soldiers' confidence for operations in and around water. This publication presents the Army's water survival training program, which has three classification levels: Class Three - Basic, Class Two Intermediate, and Class One - Advanced. The main goal of the program is to train soldiers to meet the requirements of the Class Three - Basic level. Soldiers who achieve competency at this level should pose little threat to themselves or the unit during most operations in and around water. Soldiers qualified at Class Two - Intermediate level should be able to survive in water for a prolonged period and perform tasks and negotiate obstacles while in the water. Soldiers who can perform Class One - Advanced skills should be extremely proficient at water survival. Soldiers who complete the entire program will know how to do the following actions, which are explained and illustrated in this circular: * Maintain buoyancy in full gear.* Swim 15 yards underwater.* Swim the travel stroke, breaststroke, and sidestroke.* Assist other swimmers in the water.* Use personal safety and water survival techniques.Company commanders and platoon leaders are responsible for knowing the water survival ability level of each of their soldiers. This knowledge lets them assign responsibilities and take protective measures to ensure the safety of each soldier.
