Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yuma Proving Ground's early history began in 1849 with the establishment of Army outposts in the region. When the United States entered World War II in 1942, the Army established a large-scale training center that expanded from eastern California into western Arizona. Gen. George S. Patton Jr. was assigned to develop the Desert Training Center as a location to train personnel and test equipment in the harsh desert for the war effort. As part of the Desert Training Center, Camp Laguna and the Yuma Test Branch were founded to conduct specific training and testing in support of the war effort. In 1951, the Yuma Test Branch was renamed the Yuma Test Station, and by 1957, the Army began training personnel on military freefall. In 1963, the Army renamed the Yuma Test Station as the Yuma Proving Ground. Today, the Yuma Proving Ground stands near the original sites with the continued task of testing equipment and training personnel.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yuma Proving Ground was visited to conduct a survey of the relative hardness of selected impact areas to establish the most suitable sites for a survivability test as part of DT II testing of 155mm XM718/741 Remote Anti-Armor Mine System (RAAMS). Soil/terrain data were collected at Z, R, Cain, and Adam Fields located along the north side of Poleline Road. Z and R Fields were located on nearly level, moderately dissected gravelly piedmont which had recently been graded and compacted to achieve a high strength within the compacted layer. Cain Field is located on a wash. The area is undulating and bare. Adam Field is located on predominantly gravelly undissected piedmont with some wash areas. The area is undulating and the brush vegetation was removed. The surface materials at the four impact areas visited are predominantly coarse-grained soils with some areas having large amounts of gravel and caliche. The soil was slightly moist and firm when sampled. The cone index ranged from 300 to 500 in the 0- to 6-in. layer, and the dynamic cone penetrometer blows per foot for the surface 12 in. ranged from 17 to 34. A comparison of calculated peak rigid body deceleration-impact velocity relation for selected surface materials revealed that the magnitude of the rigid body g forces that the RAAM can experience upon impact with various earth materials varies considerably.
