	Abrams Explorer
		Talbert Abrams, founder and CEO of the then newly-formed Abrams Air Craft Corporation and the established Abrams Aerial Survey Corporation of Lansing, Michigan, envisioned the aircraft as an obstruction-free camera platform for survey and mapping businesses, a design in which the U.S. Army showed interest.
		Abrams lent the Explorer to the National Air Museum in 1948 and, although it was accessioned at that time, the "official" donation was not until 1973.
		It was transported by military air to Washington and was stored for several years at the Paul E. Garber Restoration and Preservation Facility in Suitland, Maryland.

		Abrams stresses the importance of light, and this is a concern he shares with the painters he admires most.

		The M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank (MBT) is the namesake of the late General Creighton W. Abrams, former Army Chief of Staff and commander of the 37th Armored Battalion.
		Due to the shear size and weight of the Abrams, the C-5 Galaxy, the largest cargo aircraft in the US Air Force inventory, was only able to handle one tank at a time.
		The Abrams' thermal sights were unhampered by the clouds of thick fl smoke over the battlefield that were the result of burning Kuwaiti oil wells.

	The Air War in El Salvador
		The primary air base was Ilopango on the outskirts of the capital, and there was a smaller base at San Miguel in the southern part of the country.
		Air forces in particular require a long time to build infrastructure, acquire equipment, and train pilots to operate in the kind of joint operations required by counterinsurgency campaigns.
		Since the air attacks in civilian areas were carried out between 1981 and 1986, an estimate of approximately two thousand civilians killed by air bombardment for the course of the war is probably close.

	M1A1 Abrams
		The M1A1 is the first major block improvement to the M1 ABRAMS Tank System and provides a significant improvement to the Army's offensive ground combat power as displayed during Operation Desert Storm.
		The use of DU armor is a primary feature that distinguishes the Abrams tank from numerous other commonly accepted equipment employed by the military and industry.
		These modifications include extended air intake and exhaust tubes that allow the vehicles to cross rivers and shallow waters such as the surf zones that Marines operate in.

	United States Air Force - dKosopedia
		While the Air Force has several of these planes already, and they are in the final testing stages (and experiencing no serious testing stage failures), they are not available in large numbers for use in combat operations and the current debate hinges on how many will be purchased.
		The Air Force and Navy are cooperating in the development of two, quite similar, small stealthy flying wing bomber designs, the X-45 and the X-47.
		The Air Force continues to purchase the C-17 medium sized long range cargo aircraft, and is considering purchasing a major new version of its C-130 aircraft called the C-130J, which represents significant modifications from the prior versions and has been plagued with technical difficulties.

		This air component was soon augmented by the 15 fixed-wing OV-10 Bronco aircraft of Attack Squadron Light (VAL) 4, activated in April 1969.
		The combined effect of allied air, sea, and inshore patrols, amphibious operations in the coastal regions, ground force strength in the populated lowlands, and the availability of Laos and Cambodia as resupply bases apparently limited Communist attempts at seaborne infiltration during most of 1968 and 1969.
		For instance, the U.S. air forces destroyed the Thanh Hoa and Paul Doumer bridges, long impervious to American bombing, and the Hanoi power plant deep in the heart of the populated capital city.

	US vs Iran - Armchair General Forums
		Despite its junior status, the Revolutionary Guards air force may eventually supplant the regular air force as the dominant air service as a result of its access to funding, its active recruitment of the best graduates from technical degree-granting programs, and the rising influence of Revolutionary Guards–affiliated politicians, such as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
		By contrast, the regular air force has struggled to compensate for the loss of growing numbers of experienced technical personnel and aircrews to retirement; it has responded by pooling the existing technicians into centralized task forces.
		Air and ground superiority would be achieved, but tactical surprises could produce costly losses.

	TIME.com: The Lavelle Case -- Sep. 25, 1972 -- Page 1
		Abrams, who is now awaiting confirmation as Army Chief of Staff, was then commander of U.S. forces in Viet Nam.
		The sum of the testimony seemed to exonerate Abrams or any higher officers of complicity in Lavelle's misdeeds; it also illuminated the baffling technology of the war and provided a classic case study of a bureaucracy warped to serve a devious purpose.
		To understand Lavelle's case, it is necessary first to understand the regulations governing the air war that he inherited when he arrived in Saigon to take command of the Seventh Air Force in August of last year.

	M1 Abrams Tank
		The M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank is the namesake of the late General Creighton W. Abrams, former Army Chief of Staff and commander of the 37th Armored Battalion.
		Conceived in 1971 as a replacement for the aging M60 tank, which was itself an extension of the 1050s era M 47/48 program, the M1 was going to be of a completely new design, establishing a new family of American main battle tanks.
		Providing the Abrams with a true shoot on the move capability, the fire control system automatically corrects for range, turret slew (motion) rate, crosswind, and tank axial tilt (cant).

	87.01.02: Studio Art Lessons Based on Latin American Arts and Crafts
		It is hoped that the brief discussions of a few works of painting, sculpture, and crafts will encourage teachers who are not necessarily trained in either studio or art history, to feel comfortable presenting Latin American works in their classes to enable students to improve their artistic skills.
		Another objective of this lesson is to introduce the students to a useful and attractive craft that is a living part of the tradition of several Latin American countries.
		These papier-mché crafts are often time consuming and messy, but are worthwhile because of the creative possibilities, and because they are excellent as a small group project.

		However Abrams says he will adhere to and respect the continuity (and he did design that wonderful Teaser poster) so it’ll probably be something of a prequel as well as a reboot.
		Abrams better not open with an exciting battle scene with a young Kirk in command of a ship, having him vanquish the enemy, just to have us be told that we’re watching him in the Kobyashi Maru test where he “changed the conditions” to win.
		Abrams should not sabotage his own movie by attemtping to deal with the baggage of the past.
