US Army, BLOOD, ELECTROLYTES, AND INTRAVENOUS INFUSIONS, SUBCOURSE MD0564, EDITION 200, Survival Medical Manual

INTRODUCTION
This subcourse is concerned with knowledge that is vital in order to understand the
"whys" and "hows" for using the intravenous route to administer the kinds of fluids that can save life and limb. You should possess the knowledge to correct and expand on the medical procedures used by the Combat Medical Specialist and also have the ability to interact with the physicians and physician assistants who will have the final responsibility for treating battle injuries and illnesses.

Contained in the third chapter is the currently accepted method for starting and for
discontinuing an intravenous infusion and a blood transfusion. Mastery of this section is not enough to begin giving infusions and transfusions. You must be trained under the supervision of a person who is qualified to instruct you in these processes, supervise your practice, and evaluate your skills and abilities very carefully.

This subcourse consists of three lessons and an appendix. They are:
Lesson 1, Human Blood.
Lesson 2, Fluids and Electrolytes.
Lesson 3, Intravenous Preparations and Methods for Administration.

US Army, DENTAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY, SUBCOURSE MD0501, EDITION 200, Survival Medical Manual

In order for the Army to utilize its professional dental staff to the utmost, a carefully organized dental service system providing technical and administrative support for that professional staff is necessary. Dental specialists and other auxiliary personnel play very important roles in making this possible. A dental officer working with an efficient assistant can provide better and substantially more dental care than can one working alone. An additional significant increase in capabilities is shown among dental officers having the support of two or more auxiliary personnel.

The subcourses in the series for dental assistants and dental laboratory specialists
are not designed to turn out completely trained personnel. This can be accomplished only in conjunction with close supervision in an on-the-job training status. The subcourses are designed to provide a review for personnel working in the dental area and provide basic fundamentals and techniques for personnel interested in the auxiliary dental fields.

This subcourse presents a general discussion of basic sciences related to the
technical procedures in dentistry. It includes the principles of anatomy and physiology and dental anatomy.

The subcourse instructional material consists of four lessons as follows:
Lesson 1, Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology.
Lesson 2, The Skull and Jaws.
Lesson 3, Topography of the Mouth and Tooth Structures.
Lesson 4, Dental Anatomy. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars a new look at a famous campaign
The US First Army was the overall command for American troops in France from D-Day until the breakout from Normandy when Patton's Third Army was added to the mix.Patton's Third Army gets more press, but the First Army was the senior partner and was right beside the Third all the way into Germany.This French-produced publication looks at the US First Army in Normandy. Overall the traslation from the original French is quite good.The book is organized by location and follows the efforts of the Americans to drive the Germans back to create a secure lodgement in Europe and then to liberate France.The content is heavily pictorial and includes over 200 newly pubished photos as well as some old favorites.Some photos offer comparisons between an area during combat and current pictures of the rebuilt buildings.There are better books describing the course of the battle and the strategic implications, but this volume will be welcomed by many historians due to its excellent graphics.It really compliments a WW2 historical collection. ...

SHOOTING AERIALS - QUICK AND EASY

RIFLE QUICK KILL - US ARMY TT 23-71-1

US Army publication: TT 23-71-1, is a training text on the fast and accurate method of fire called Rifle Quick Kill, and Basic Rifle Marksmanship.

Rifle Quick Kill, was taught BEFORE the soldier was introduced to aimed fire utilizing the sights (Rifle Marksmanship). In just minutes, soldiers were taught to use Rifle Quick Kill to hit small aerial targets with BB guns.

This short e-book focuses on and contains information on Rifle Quick Kill, not Rifle Marksmanship.

As aerial targets are not required to learn the method, anyone who has a garage, and legally can use airsoft, can quickly learn it.

The how-to-do-that information is included in this 2010 e-book revision. Also included is info on using an airsoft pistol to shoot aerials (pop cans tossed in the air).

This e-book is availalbe as a MobiPocket, Kindle, or .PDF file e-book via the web or my site: www.pointshooting.com

US Marine Corps, First Aid, MCRP 3-02G, Survival Medical Manual

PREFACE
This manual meets the first aid training needs of individual service
members. Because medical personnel will not always be readily available,
the nonmedical service members must rely heavily on their own skills and
knowledge of life-sustaining methods to survive on the integrated battlefield.
This publication outlines both self-aid and aid to other service members
(buddy aid). More importantly, it emphasizes prompt and effective action in
sustaining life and preventing or minimizing further suffering and disability.
First aid is the emergency care given to the sick, injured, or wounded before
being treated by medical personnel. The term first aid can be defined as
“urgent and immediate lifesaving and other measures, which can be
performed for casualties by nonmedical personnel when medical personnel
are not immediately available.” Nonmedical service members have received
basic first aid training and should remain skilled in the correct procedures for
giving first aid. This manual is directed to all service members. The
procedures discussed apply to all types of casualties and the measures
described are for use by both male and female service members. ... Read more

Product Description
The Plains Indian War was one of the most controversial conflicts in American military history, as the US Army faced a tough opponent that challenged it for decades following the end of the Civil War.The Army leadership endured a severe lack of resources, political constraints, an indifferent public, tough environmental conditions, and other problems of the frontier. Army officers and men had to adapt to these constraints, and this period also proved to be a trial of the ability and endurance of the common soldier.This title details the organization, development, training, tactics and command structures of the US Army during its subjugation of the Plains Indian tribes. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars An excellent dissection of the US Army in the Plains Wars
Osprey's new Battle Orders series is continuing to evolve as a hybrid, somewhere between the earlier Order of Battle series, the Elite series and the Campaign series.So far, each volume in this new series seems to have been put together with a different methodology.Dr. Clayton K S Chun, a lecturer at the US Army War College, offers keen insight into the evolution of the US Army in the period in between the end of the Civil War and prior to the Spanish-American War.Unlike other volumes in the Battle Order series, Dr. Chun does not try to describe the campaigns of the units in question, but focuses almost exclusively on the organization, doctrine and training of the frontier army.Despite the title, this volume is less about the Indian Wars per se than the slow transformation of the US regular army into a more professional force in the late 19th Century. Modern US Army readers might want to consider how the regular army in the late 19th Century dealt with an elusive foe, nation-building and a myriad of other civic tasks - all familiar to American soldiers today in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Dr. Chun begins his study of the frontier army with a short introduction and an enumeration of the mission of each of its three principle branches (infantry, cavalry and artillery).Readers conditioned to thinking that the frontier army was composed primarily of cavalry will be surprised to see that it constituted only 37% of the actual strength in 1876; the much-cheaper infantry was 50% and the all-but-ignored artillery branch was 12%.Dr. Chun then spends seven interesting pages discussing the doctrine and training of the frontier army; as Chun notes, the army's leadership was focused on preparing for war against a European foe and did not believe that intermittent conflict with Indian tribes (i.e. "low intensity conflict") warranted any significant doctrinal revisions.The army's leadership was shaped by the total war mentality of the recent Civil War and held any form of "police actions" in low regard.However, the basis of frontier doctrine rested on a belief in the offensive, executed by converging columns and winter attacks.General Sherman began to change US strategy in 1867 from "pacification" to "total war upon hostiles." Chun notes that the strategy evolved into "selective totality" - where the reservation system was used to contain the Indians and the US Army was used to punish tribes that left the reservation.

The heart of this volume lies in the 32 pages that Dr. Chun devotes to unit organization, which has maps and line and block charts that depict all the major US Army posts and unit dispositions in the West for the years 1867, 1876 and 1884. For example, a reader could find that in 1876 there were two companies of the 19th Infantry with 99 soldiers stationed at Fort Lyon in Colorado.Dr. Chun also details the organization of infantry, cavalry and artillery units from regimental down to squad level. There is a wealth of information in this section, including statistics on desertion (one-third of all enlistments between 1867-1891 ended in desertion; the desertion rate on the Plains was 25-40%, whereas it had only been 14% in the Civil War), cuts in pay and strength authorizations by Congress, frontier posts and Indian scouts.

Dr. Chun also provides a lengthy section on tactics, which indicates that while French Napoleonic-era influences were still strong, Army officers on the frontier were adapting to local circumstances.A good deal of this section focuses on the work of Emory Upton in codifying a post-Civil War doctrine for the US Army; Upton was important for introducing standardized marksmanship training and an attempt to standardize tactical training (previously, mostly done at unit level).Dr. Chun notes throughout this volume that the greatest weakness of the frontier army was inadequate training, although this was beginning to improve by the end of the 19th Century.Although Upton's ideas helped to increase professionalism in the US Army, some of his ideas - such as the concept of "fours" - did not work. The next section, on weapons and equipment is also quite good and details how the Army was plagued with surplus equipment and inadequate funds for new development.Final sections on C3I and unit status for each regiment (including tables on authorized and actual strength) round out the volume.Readers expecting a discussion of individual campaigns such as the Little Bighorn will be disappointed (although there is no shortage of other works on that subject), but Dr. Chun's volume is an excellent dissection of the US Army in the Plains Wars.In fact, I noticed only one significant omission in this volume, namely that the maps did not depict railroads or any civilian towns or cities; it would have been useful to compare the dispositions of the US Army in 1867-1891 with the westward progression of civilization.

Product Description

Chaplain Lawson's initial historical review of the Balkans provides the setting to help one understand what led to America's involvement in the region. He deftly works his way through the key points of a confusing history that ultimately leads to US and international engagement in the area. Later in the book, he provides an excellent summary of the Bosnia and Kosovo regions and the consequent US presence there. This background information is very helpful in understanding the crucial nature of chaplain ministry, because much of the Balkans conflict is related to religious issues.
Chaplain Lawson's use of personal Army chaplain and chaplain assistant accounts makes up the bulk of the work. His use of quotes, stories, written accounts, and personal observations provides a broad look at religious ministry in this relatively new Army environment—an environment of peacekeeping and multinational, joint-service coordination. He points out that the religious support in the Balkans conflict was also a period in which the Army had to use the Reserve components (Army National Guard and Army Reserve) in a significant way.

US Army, BASIC MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY, SUBCOURSE MD0010, EDITION 100, Survival Medical Manual

Medical terminology is the professional language of those who are directly or
indirectly engaged in the art of healing. You will need to know medical terms in order to read a medical record, to complete forms, to decipher a physician's handwriting, and to communicate with others in the hospital in a professional manner.

At first, the medical terms may seem strange and bewildering to you and appear to
be extremely difficult to learn. Fortunately, there is a logical method found in medical terminology. Many of the words used in medicine are made up of parts which are also used in other words. Once you know the meanings of the basic parts of the words, you can put them together to understand the meanings of many medical terms. These basic parts of medical terms are called stems, prefixes, and suffixes. During this course, you will learn to identify and define a stem, a prefix, and a suffix. You will also learn how they are used in combination to describe a medical term.

This subcourse consists of 4 lessons and an examination. The lessons are:
Lesson 1, Introduction to Programmed Learning.
Lesson 2, Stems Pertaining to Medical Terminology.
Lesson 3, Prefixes Pertaining to Medical Terminology.
Lesson 4, Suffixes Pertaining to Medical Terminology. ... Read more

Product Description

The building of the American Army in the Second World War from a tiny, outdated and ill-equipped force into one of the mightiest armies of the world was rightly described by Sir Winston Churchill as being a 'prodigy of organization'. Its value to the Allied cause was immeasurable and it had a fine fighting record all over the world. The U.S. Army was marvelously well equipped, thanks to American inventiveness, 'know-how' and technological prowess, and by 1945 it led the world in weaponry, strategic mobility and logistic capabilities. This unique and fascinating study details the organization, structure and equipment of the U.S. Army - everything from weapons to tactics, markings to camouflage, and rations to radio sets. Detailed appendices also cover military symbology, field orders and sample battle orders. Fully illustrated with a varied and exciting selection of contemporary action shots, this really is a most unique and indispensable reference guide to the world's greatest army during the Second World War.

4-0 out of 5 stars Overall a Good Start
This book is a good start for learning about the U.S. Army from its fledgling operations at the start of World War II to its powerful position by 1945. I read one book years ago where the United States Army was the 18th in size as compared to other world armies in 1939. It was behind Turkey. By 1945, the war machine had liberated Europe and crushed the Japanese Empire. This book will familiarize one with the growth of the weapons, infantry and more for this expansive period of history.

3-0 out of 5 stars Good glancing look at US army of WWII
This small book is basicly a good glance at the US army of WWII. Covers basic tables of organization and equipment as well as a basic look at equipment.

That's not much but that is all that ishere.

3-0 out of 5 stars A good read but lacking data
I quite enjoyed reading this publication; I found it to be informative and well thought out. But the text is very light on hard statistical data, relying more on broad generalisations through creative descriptions with little in the way of hard statistical data. If you are looking to read about the American army in World War II this is the book for you, but if your looking for a book with facts and figures such as notes on equipment, weapons, vehicles, etc - then this is not the book for you.

2-0 out of 5 stars Forty needs the TM
I greatly enjoyed Forty's work on the Japanese and was quite disapointed with this one. It would appear that Forty merely re-worded the U.S. Army Technical Manual on the Japanese Army and did not have such a source for the US Army. Coverage is pretty good on weapons. Fair on organization. Laughable on tactics. He fails to point out the major flaws with the US effort...shipping- limited organization, faulty tank doctrine, failure to effeciently use the negro portion of the population. This book at least puts a lot of information in one volume, but is not as good as his work with more easily found source material.

4-0 out of 5 stars Nice Graphics

Product Description
The HMMWV, better known as the Humvee or Hummer, has set the world standard for army tactical vehicles since its introduction into the US Army in the 1980s. Designed to be the successor to the jeep of World War II with a greater load-bearing capacity, the Humvee has proven to be adaptable to a wide range of roles, including weapons carrier, missile launcher, command vehicle and other specialized types. This book traces the development and use of the Humvee and its variations, including the latest families of armored Humvees used in Iraq in 2003â€"05, and its adoption in a peacekeeping role the world over. ...

US Army, THERAPEUTICS I, SUBCOURSE MD0804. EDITION 200 , Survival Medical Manual

INTRODUCTION
A patient who visits a physician or physician extender frequently receives a
prescription for a medication. That prescription is brought to the pharmacy to be filled. The patient expects professional attention at the pharmacy. Part of that expectation involves any caution or warning the patient should heed while taking the medication.

In your role, you will serve as a source of drug information. Patients and friends
will ask you specific questions concerning the use of prescription and over-the-counter medications. You must know the trade and generic names of literally hundreds of medications. Furthermore, you must know the cautions and warnings associated with many agents.

How are you to know this information about drugs? Certainly you have had
instruction which presented the basics of anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. This instruction has given you a sound foundation for learning more in these areas. This subcourse will present instruction in anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. The material in anatomy and physiology is included to refresh your memory or to give you additional information so you can better understand the pharmacology material.

This subcourse is not intended to be used as an authoritative source of drug
information. As you know, new drugs are constantly being discovered and new uses for existing drugs are being found through research. Therefore, you must rely upon this subcourse to review concepts or to learn new information. You are then to use other sources (see lesson 1 of this subcourse) to gain new information as it is discovered.

This subcourse consists of 11 lessons. The lessons are:
Lesson 1. Professional References in Pharmacy.
Lesson 2. Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology Important to Therapeutics.
Lesson 3. Introduction to Pharmacology.
Lesson 4. Local Anesthetic Agents.
Lesson 5. The Central Nervous System.
Lesson 6. Agents Used During Surgery.
Lesson 7. Sedative and Hypnotic Agents.
Lesson 8. Anticonvulsant Agents. ... Read more

Product Description
When the USA entered World War I in April 1917 her Regular Army counted just 128,000 men and lacked all the necessary equipment and training for modern trench warfare. By the Armistice of November 1918, General John J.Pershing's American Expeditionary Force in France had more than 2 million men and was holding 25 per cent of the Western Front. They had helped smash Ludendorff's brilliant Operation "Michael" in the lines before Paris; had turned onto the offensive themselves at St Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne; and if Germany had not negotiated peace with unexpected speed the US Army would have taken over from their tired Allies an even greater share of the planned 1919 campaign. This concise account of America's first world class army, its organization, uniforms, weapons and character, is illustrated with rare photos and eight full color plates. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Another Useful Work by An Excellent Writer
Mark Hwney has recently come to the Osprey table of writers. As a professional historian, he has access to many sources. Henry's three volume set on the WWII US infantryman is outstanding. (c.f.)
I found rhia volume ti be a highly useful overview. It should be referred to in conjunction with the newly published "U.S Doughboy, 1916-1919" (c.f.) which is focused on the experiences of a representative infantry man of the AEF.
This volume covers the whole story of the mobization, organization, and training of the army which was the source of the AEF. ... Read more
