Download or read book Fire Support Employment In The Rhine River Crossing At Remagen Germany written by Major Jeffrey L. Shafer and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an historical analysis of the procedures and doctrine used by the III Corps Artillery during the First U.S. Army’s crossing of the Rhine River at Remagen, Germany. This study examines the actions of III Corps Artillery in the employment, organization for combat, and command and control of artillery units at Remagen. The fire support procedures employed by the field artillery are compared with those prescribed by published doctrine and unit standing operating procedures. This comparison is used to evaluate the adequacy of doctrine and the need for standing operating procedures to supplement the published doctrine. The development of standing operating procedures from lessons learned during earlier combat is examined to show how the doctrine allowed flexibility and standardization that was evident throughout the army. This standardization continues to serve as a model for fire support operations in today’s emerging combined arms doctrine. The study concludes with lessons learned: (1) Centralized command and control of field artillery should be under the headquarters that is best organized to control a large number or units, (2) doctrine and standing operating procedures are useless unless leaders develop and execute plans that are in accordance with the principles established and practiced, (3) the tendency to establish standing operating procedures that violate or contradict doctrine should be avoided, (4) a need for more liaison officers was evident at Remagen as well as through the war and continues to exist today even with improved technology, (5) the redundancy of tasks outlined in doctrine provides the flexibility needed to accomplish the fire support mission during a fast moving battle, and (6) field artillery units should practice several tactical missions and not just the standard mission associated with peace time organizations.
Download or read book Crossing the Fire Line written by Gloria Bullman Psy.D. and published by . This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Firefighters as seen by a psychologist in bunker gear" Dr. Gloria Bullman was given the rare privilege of spending days and nights in firehouses across North America riding to calls on engines, ladder trucks, rescues, squads and a helicopter. This psychologist shows the impact of line-of-duty death reaching far beyond the fallen firefighters and their families, also engulfing the extended family that is the brotherhood (which includes the sisters) that is the fire service. It was her expertise in helping emergency services personnel with traumatic losses that took her into the firehouses, and she tells something of this cost of being part of the fire service and something of the healing. Ride along through the Tenderloin in the "San Francisco Tony Bennett doesn't sing about," on an FDNY Squad and with paid and volunteer firefighters in rural and urban settings. Learn why the best food you can ever eat is handmade Italian ice eaten just as you come off a structure fire. Much of firefighters' lives are lived behind the closed bay doors, in privacy, while their work is done in public, often with watching crowds and TV crews. Very few people ever get a close-up view of both sides. The reader gets to climb into the engine and see the transition of the crew as they physically and mentally prepare themselves for whatever they find when they reach the place that people need their help and observe their response in pulling hose, swinging axes, extricating a patient from entrapment in a crushed car or carrying a victim from a fire. You will feel the changes as they fully commit to that person they have never met before being pulled back into life, that person they have come to save in their darkest moments. Heroes are ordinary people, choosing to do extraordinary things in the service of others. Live and ride with these heroes as they save lives and property, then go back to the firehouse and wash the dinner dishes. You will laugh and you might cry, but you will come away with a new understanding of who firefighters are and what they do.

Download or read book Crossing Fire written by R.K. Lilley and published by R.K. Lilley. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BOOK TWO IN THE HERETIC DAUGHTERS SERIES JILLIAN It had always been obvious to me that we had different songs playing in our heads. My music was usually more of a death metal battle march that involved a lot of bloodshed. Dom's. . . Dom's music was something that a romantic Irish bard would listen to, whatever the hell that might be. He was a warrior, but I'd always known he had a poet's soul. There could be no denying that it was one of the things I loved most about him. Still, it had always made everything hard. It wasn't easy to be the other half of someone's perfect, immortal love story when you were as imperfect as I was. I'd done a great deal to dismantle our bond when I'd thought I had no other choice. Now, finding myself with the rare opportunity to rebuild it again, I was determined not to destroy it, even if that was what I was best at. DOM To me, it had always been clear as day that fate brought us together. Our love was written in the stars as distinctly as ink on paper, but I knew she couldn't read it. She was no stargazer. And certainly no dream-chaser. Her feet were planted too firmly on the ground, except, of course, when she turned into a dragon. In an effort to rescue Jillian's captive sister, unlikely allies must join forces to take down some of the most powerful creatures in existence. Crossing Fire weaves together a heartwarming tale of romance, adventure, redemption, and the power of chosen family. This book is the continuation of a series and not meant to be read as a standalone.
Download or read book Crossing Under the Hudson written by Angus K. Gillespie and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossing Under the Hudson takes a fresh look at the planning and construction of two key links in the transportation infrastructure of New York and New Jersey--the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels. Writing in an accessible style that incorporates historical accounts with a lively and entertaining approach, Angus Kress Gillespie explores these two monumental works of civil engineering and the public who embraced them. He describes and analyzes the building of the tunnels, introduces readers to the people who worked there--then and now--and places the structures into a meaningful cultural context with the music, art, literature, and motion pictures that these tunnels, engineering marvels of their day, have inspired over the years. Today, when new concerns about global terrorism may trump bouts of simple tunnel tension, Gillespie's Crossing Under the Hudson continues to cast a light at the end of the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels.

Download or read book The Fire and the Tale written by Giorgio Agamben and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is at stake in literature? Can we identify the fire that our stories have lost, but that they strive, at all costs, to rediscover? And what is the philosopher's stone that writers, with the passion of alchemists, struggle to forge in their word furnaces? For Giorgio Agamben, who suggests that the parable is the secret model of all narrative, every act of creation tenaciously resists creation, thereby giving each work its strength and grace. The ten essays brought together here cover works by figures ranging from Aristotle to Paul Klee and illustrate what urgently drives Agamben's current research. As is often the case with his writings, their especial focus is the mystery of literature, of reading and writing, and of language as a laboratory for conceiving an ethico-political perspective that places us beyond sovereign power.

In the kingdom of Elpax, juveniles must walk through the mysterious Crossing Gate to become adults—and seventeen-year-old Lenora is determined that her third attempt at crossing to adulthood will be successful. Even though adulthood means facing horrible realities, such as sin-spots appearing on her body whenever she commits a sin, it also means being able to have a job. And Lenora needs to work to support her struggling family. But Lenora’s Crossing Day goes horribly wrong. Accused of trying to start a revolution, Lenora must obey the kingdom’s laws to the letter if she wants to take suspicion off herself. But following the rules isn’t as easy as it sounds. Especially when she meets a mysterious and handsome stranger who makes her feel emotions she’s never experienced before—even though juveniles in Elpax aren’t supposed to be capable of falling in love. With the long arm of the law looming over her and her family, Lenora must walk a tightrope between following the rules and investigating why she’s unable to cross. Not to mention discovering where her new adult emotions are coming from. But as Lenora uncovers more of Elpax’s terrible secrets, she realizes that fighting the system might be the only way to save her family, her country, and her first love. The first in an epic series perfect for fans of Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen and Lauren Oliver’s Delirium, The Crossing Gate combines the tropes of classic YA dystopia with a Greek-inspired setting and fantasy elements that will whisk readers away on a journey like no other.
