Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Multipurpose Expedient Paving System (MEPS) is being developed to enable more rapid construction of Expeditionary Airfields (EAF's) by Marine Corps forces engaged in an amphibious landing. Previous investigations demonstrated the potential of FOMAT - a structural sandwich composed of a 20-pcf rigid polyurethane foam core with fiberglass-reinforced polyester resin (FRP) facings. FOMAT met F-4 aircraft static load, tailhook impact, and engine exhaust blast requirements. The FY-77 research effort, covered by this report, focused on pavement concepts more amenable than FOMAT to field construction. Investigations were made on alternative concepts of (1) mechanically locking prefabricated bottom facings to the core and (2) eliminating the bottom facing while adding fiberglass reinforcement to the foam. FIBERMAT (FRP bonded to a layer of fiberglass-reinforced rigid polyerethane foam) is rated as the more viable concept. FIBERMAT has been subjected to a series of laboratory tests to define response to stress fatigue and environmental cycling. Finite element techniques are utilized to design FIBERMAT pavement sections for EAF traffic areas and varying soil strenghts. Costs and benefits are projected, project technical risks are discussed, and major development milestones are outlined. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 2017, the newly arrived president of Marine Corps University, Brigadier General William J. Bowers, ordered a lecture series, "The Legacy of Belleau Wood: 100 Years of Making Marines and Winning Battles." The series would include four lectures, and it was to be supported by an anthology produced by History Division, providing readings to the students on the topics each lecture would cover. The intent was to produce an anthology of lasting worth to Marines, broadly depicting keystone moments in the history of the Corps during the century following the Battle of Belleau Wood. This volume presents a collection of 36 extracts, articles, letters, orders, interviews, and biographies. The work is intended to serve as a general overview and provisional reference to inform both Marines and the general public of the broad outlines of notable trends and controversies in Marine Corps history--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: Legendary German general Erwin Rommel analyzes the tactics that led to his success. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel exerted an almost hypnotic influence not only over his own troops but also over the Allied soldiers of the Eighth Army in the Second World War. Even when the legend surrounding his invincibility was overturned at El Alamein, the aura surrounding Rommel himself remained unsullied. In this classic study of the art of war Rommel analyses the tactics that lay behind his success. First published in 1937 it quickly became a highly regarded military textbook, and also brought its author to the attention of Adolph Hitler. Rommel was to subsequently advance through the ranks to the high command in the Second World War. As a leader of a small unit in the First World War, he proved himself an aggressive and versatile commander with a reputation for using the battleground terrain to his own advantage, for gathering intelligence, and for seeking out and exploiting enemy weaknesses. Rommel graphically describes his own achievements, and those of his units, in the swift-moving battles on the Western Front, in the ensuing trench warfare, in the 1917 campaign in Romania, and in the pursuit across the Tagliamento and Piave rivers. This classic account seeks out the basis of his astonishing leadership skills, providing an indispensable guide to the art of war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1942, with the sanction of the army, Vladimir Peniakoff (nicknamed Popski) formed his own elite fighting force. By befriending and enlisting desert Arabs, he was able to penetrate deep into German territory without being detected - over the next year, 'Popski's Private Army' carried out a series of raids behind the German lines that were truly spectacular. A bestseller when it was first published in 1950, POPSKI'S PRIVATE ARMY is a classic account of the war in the desert, and later in Italy, as seen through the eyes of a maverick soldier, hailed as the Second World War's answer to T.E. Lawrence.
