For this paper I thought it would be interesting to investigate the personality of one of history's greatest battlefield surgeons, Baron Dominique-Jean Larrey who served as Napoleon's Surgeon-in-Chief throughout the rise and fall of Napoleon's Empire. While researching for an in-class presentation about the devastating toll diseases such as typhus and dysentery had on Napoleon's Grand Arme, a theme kept presenting itself when reading about the accounts of Dr. Larrey. The writings of...

Far removed from modern perceptions of cosmetic surgery, plastic and craniofacial surgery largely began centuries ago with efforts to redeem the destruction and loss from battlefield violence. Successive generations of surgeons responding with compassion to the functional and aesthetic loss of those wounded in war have achieved the progress that benefits 21st century patients. Although the historic role of war has to a degree been supplanted by jet travel, electronic communications, and...

Background: Facial injuries sustained by US military personnel during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have increased compared with past conflicts. Characterization of midface fractures (orbits, maxilla, zygoma, and nasal bones) sustained on the battlefield is needed to improve our understanding of these injuries, to optimize treatment, and to potentially direct strategic development of protective equipment in the future. Methods: The military s Joint Theater Trauma Registry was queried for...

A fundamental challenge in wireless mobile battlefield networks (WMBNs) is frequent occurrence of wireless link congestion and failures due to blockage, mobility, interference, etc. In case of a link or node failure, the end-to-end session will be disrupted until the underlying routing protocol converges to its new path. We propose an innovative distributed architecture for a seamless multi-layer soft handoff protocol in WMBNs to provide the sub-second convergence in case of link/node failures...

The current and planned command and control communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems for existing and future aircraft weapon systems are inadequate to support commanders on the contemporary battlefield and inconsistent with Service requirements particularly while conducting counterinsurgency operations.

Currently, military actions are orchestrated within cyberspace and thus degradation or denial of service to cyberspace assets can have major consequences in combat. Based on general military strategies, with a focus on Command and Control, this paper proposes an architecture for cyber defense simulation that aims to unite kinetic environments with cyber environments. This architecture supports the creation of a flexible environment in which different attack and disaster scenarios can be quickly...

This report describes a paradigm of battlefield robot cybernation and presents, within that paradigm, a navigation technique for such robots. The navigation technique is an algorithm for route planning in an open terrain that contains areas with different characteristics, such as navigation speed or level of threat. Optimal routes for battlefield robots in such a terrain are task specific: for instance, the fastest route, the safest route, a hidden route, a combination of the three, etc. The...

This thesis is a historical analysis of Major General Philip H. Sheridan and his division during the Battle of Chickamauga. Sheridan led an experienced division onto the battlefield on 19 September 1863 after completing a march of over one hundred miles over mountainous terrain the previous seventeen days. The division was deployed by brigade to protect the Union right flank. One brigade took heavy casualties the first day, when attacking to repel an enemy advance. On the second day, while...

Multihop packet radio networks (or ad-hoc networks) consist of wire- less routers that interconnect attached hosts without the need of any pre-established communication infrastructure These networks play an important role in relief scenarios, battlefields and conference scenarios where there is no base infrastructure Table-driven or proactive routing protocols can incur excessive signaling overhead in large ad-hoc networks (e.g., networks with hundreds of nodes or more), because each node in...

The vulnerability of the soldier to the effects of ionizing radiation is well established. The potential threat against the US military forces was reviewed and a variety of means of providing protection against the effects of nuclear radiation on the battlefield were analyzed. The findings, conclusions and recommendations of the Ad Hoc Group are presented for consideration and possible implementation in the future.

A NATO Dosimetry Study was performed from 23 March to 3 April 1992 at the Army Pulse Radiation Facility (APRF), Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, Maryland. This study was designed to determine the accuracy of battlefield dosimeters in a simulated tactical environment, and to compare the different NATO dosimeters in simple, well-defined radiation fields. Dosimeters were irradiated in four radiation fields; in free air (FIR) and on the surface of Polyethylene phantoms by the APRF reactor with...

Americans and our allies are not the only ones glued to the television lately! One can be sure that enemies of the United States not directly engaged by the invasion of Iraq have likewise been watching intently and learning. Now, more than ever, the U.S. military's overwhelming dominance in Iraq has guaranteed that future adversaries will pursue every conceivable asymmetric advantage to offset their conventional and technological inferiority. The U.S. Armed Forces are vulnerable on a number of...

Warfare planners and tacticians are seeking ways to leverage information technology to gain advantage on the battlefield. With the advent of Internet technologies complex systems are becoming more networked and access to information is more critical than ever. The increasing utilization of special operations forces in ad hoc dynamic operations poses a need for adaptable communications to support the unit. Effective communication within the unit and critical information exchange with the command...

Ice fog is a phenomenon which causes severe obscuration effects at visible and infrared wavelengths in areas where there is a source of water vapor and the ambient temperature falls below -30 C. In this report, Mie scattering calculations have been used to simulate ice fog obscurations and to derive relationships between extinction at these wavelengths. the results are used to compare the extent of the obscuration by ice fog at various wavelengths. Visible wavelengths are found to be less...

The true test of military systems and personnel is their ability to operate efficiently in the high stress combat environment. This is especially true in the field of combat maintenance, because the maintenance function is essential to maintaining the high rate of sorties required on the future battlefield. Yet maintenance personnel, although highly trained and skilled technicians, receive little preparation for the extreme stresses of the combat environment. The present effort takes a unique...

The utility of symbology would be increased by making it more compatible with current and emergent tactical doctrine. A structured method based on a role-playing exercise was developed for eliciting graphically related tactical information requirements from experienced military tacticians. The method, involving a 2-stage elicitation process, uses doctrinally-sanctioned information-processing guidelines to prompt participants to generate task- related tactical questions (e.g., What is the...

A knowledge of the proportion of absorbed to scattered radiation for countermeasure smokes is necessary for modeling battlefield effects. Measurement of the total scattered component, however, is difficult.

Measurements of the absorption and extinction coefficients due to smoke produced by the...

The obscuration factors are classified into four categories: clear atmosphere, natural obscurants, battlefield obscurants, and land/air interface. Basic radiation laws, Rayleigh and Mie scattering, and the changes that a beam of electromagnetic energy encounters in an atmosphere free from clouds and obstructions to visibility are discussed in the chapter on the clear...
