Occupational monograph of the Eighth United States Army in Japan, volume IV, part 3, January 1948-December 1948, appendix N-Z.
No full textEighth Army's place in the occupation of Japan, and its operations during the first year, have been described in volumes I and II. Volume III of this series reviews the history of the Army's operations during the second year of the occupation, up to the end of 1947. The material to be included in volume III was organized into three broad categories: activities of headquarters staff sections and other agencies which reflect no major changes in the stress or pattern of affairs as previously reported; programs which have acquired new significance or increased importance in the period of the report, and which merit more detailed coverage; and activities or programs which have developed in importance at any time since the beginning of the occupation but which, because of time or personal limitations, have not been adequately covered in past reviews, are presented in full in this volume
Helmets and body armor.
No full textDesire to conserve life and reduce the chances of injury to the combat soldier has always motivated leaders of the United States Army. The welfare of the fighting man is the first consideration of his officers and of those responsible for furnishing him equipment to be used in battle. Consequently, it is but natural that humanitarianism would inspire the Ordnance Department in its program of helmet and body armor development; a program that has persisted since World War I. This modern application of the ancient armorer's art has saved, and will continue to save, the lives of American flyers and ground troops. This booklet briefly describes the relation of present armor to armor of the past. It shows the significant developments over the centuries that have affected the design of armor successfully protecting our soldiers in this war. It also shows the conditions under which armor can be effective, and answers the question, "Why not put armor on all men in combat?" For those who want proof that armor is saving lives, instances of Army Air Forces experiences are cited
