WWII: Mobilization In Army Service Forces, the Corps of Engineers played an important part in the mobilization process. So much of mobilization—production of small arms ammunition and the myriad other items in the Army Supply Program, assembly of vehicles and airplanes, and training and housing for the millions of soldiers who were filling the ranks— hinged on engineer construction that it was a pacing factor for the entire effort. The plans showed familiarity with the tools for wartime economic control, from preference lists and priorities for facilities and commodities, to control of foreign trade, and as a last resort, to the establishment of government corporations, price controls, and seizures. www.army.mil /cmh-pg/documents/mobpam.htm   (6790 words)

The Electrical & Mechanical Engineers - A Brief History The Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) had emerged from World War II with flying colours and their supporting role in the prolonged struggle against His Majesty's enemies was widely recognised and accepted.

Engineer Units Page The Royal Engineers were responsible for the introduction of much new technology to the Army - telegraphy during the Crimean War of 1854 - 1856, photography in the Abyssinian Campaign of 1867 and steam road traction in the Ashanti Campaign of 1873. This speciality led from balloons, airships and man-lifting kites to powered flight and the formation of the Air Battalion Royal Engineers which became the Royal Flying Corps, precursor of the Royal Air Force in 1912. Royal Engineers were closely involved in the development of airborne forces and played an important part in many of their operations. www.btinternet.com /~ian.a.paterson/orgengineers.htm   (2570 words)

CHESTER HAS MOVED!: A Colonial Corps? The mention that the Army has thought peacekeeping a threat to combat readiness betrays both its prejudices against the term "peacekeeping" itself, and the misunderstanding of how such a force of police, engineers, and medical experts could actually be used. The "thee-block war" concept, developed by the Marine Corps, is really preparation for the "Indian country" environment a la Kaplan, and the colonial operations missions to be undertaken within it. So perhaps the colonial corps conundrum can be solved through some savvy changes to the employment of existing forces – along with some smart changes to their training and incentives and career structures. adventuresofchester.blogspot.com /2005/01/colonial-corps.html   (3079 words)

Celilo Falls by Cal Crook 1948 Warm Springs tribal leaders had no choice but to accept a four million dollar settlement from the U. Army Corps of Engineers. Since the early 1800's, history records Native Americans fishing the spring and fall salmon runs from platforms and wooden scaffolds situated on seven islands, the water's edge, and the shore of the Columbia River. According to the book The Indian Dip Net Fishery at Celilo Falls on the Columbia River, by Schoning and Johnson, Oregon Fish Commission, 1951, "People from the Warm Springs, Yakima and Umatilla reservations stood on the bluffs overlooking Celilo Falls and watched the waters rise until their fishing grounds were swallowed up in silence." www.judyvorfeld.com /gallery-crook-2.html   (434 words)

Subject wise list of USI Journals A very inspiring statement during the Gulf War made by Lieutenant Lyonnel Bifora of the XVII Air Borne Corps of the United States Army sums up the feelings of most professional women soldiers, "Once you work with them enough, they realise you are a soldier like they are. In most countries that have formally accepted women in their defence forces, women are excluded from this primary mission of combat.

Second Chance for a Dying Estuary - National Wildlife Magazine Although more than 100 miles north of Everglades National Park, the Indian River Lagoon estuary is part of the historic saw grass slough--the so-called river of grass that in post-World War II America the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers paved, drained, blocked and channeled with widespread approval. Using low-tech and nonstructural solutions to restore damaged ecosystems, like those conservationists are pushing for in the Indian River Lagoon estuary and other areas of the Florida Everglades, is an important part of NWF's campaign to reform the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. NWF is attempting to redirect the Corps to become more of a partner in efforts to restore and protect aquatic habitat through use of commonsense solutions, such as saving instead of draining wetlands, storing runoff in marginal farmland and relocating people away from floodplains instead of building levees. www.nwf.org /nationalwildlife/printerFriendly.cfm?issueID=45&articleID=517   (1578 words)

Top Mid-Columbia stories for Oct. 17, 1997 WSU's Gary Huckleberry asked the Army Corps of Engineers in late August to let him and a team of scientists excavate a trench in Columbia Park to search for clues about the ancient bones found there in July 1996. The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Tribe Indian Reservation don't like a proposal by a Washington State University anthropologist to dig up parts of Columbia Park where the Kennewick Man skeleton was found. The corps was close to granting that request when eight prominent scientists sued for the right to study the bones, saying the remains are too old to link to modern American Indians without study. archive.tri-cityherald.com /news/oldnews/1997/1017.html   (3326 words)
