Special study on helicopter armament.
No full textThe original draft was submitted to the U.S. Army Materiel Command, Washington, D.C. in October 1966 as a single volume. Because of its bulk (in excess of 425 pages), however, it was later decided that copies for distribution would be broken out into three parts. This Part 1 will be followed by Part 2 (covering machine-gun and missile systems) and Part 3 (devoted entirely to the M5 grenade launcher). Contents: the antecedence and acceptance of the air mobile concept; considering the aggressive role; project Able Buster; the early Armair Brigade experiment; seeking adequate weapons; a formal program gets under way; project managership of helicopter armament; reference works; and glossary of terms and abbreviations

Report of board of officers convened to study the equipment of the post war Army.
No full textThe Equipment Review Board presents herewith a study in which it has portrayed the Army Ground Force requirements from the viewpoint of the combined arms and services for a research and development program of equipment for the Post War Army. In reviewing this report one should endeavor to see and feel the weapons, transport, and equipment not from their theoretical and academic isolation, or from the narrow viewpoint of their creation and maintenance; on the contrary, it is necessary to visualize them in their living interplay on the battlefield operating simultaneously as part of the controlled fire and movement of one great military organization with hundreds of units and millions of human beings having only one purpose. "The purpose of this Board was the study in detail of all weapons and equipment used by Army Ground Forces or used by the Army Air Forces in direct support of ground operations, to determine the changes, improvements, or development necessary for the proper equipping of the Post War Army." The study is presented in three parts as follows: Part I- Board report and annexes; Part II- inclosures- equipment characteristics; and Part III- appendices- recommended disposition of present equipment
