LESSON 85: U.S. ARMED FORCES OPERATIONS AND CASUALTIES: 1898-2014

There have been wars, great and small, some needed, some not, it is unknown on how many allies were lost, no less the native population from our response or the enemy’s. You can research which ever conflict or war that you want to get more information.

**U.S. Army Air Corps, prior to 1947. The U.S. Air Force was not a separate military branch until 1947. The Navy and Marines had their aviators also.

Military              There maybe no separation between Army, Navy, or Marine Corps.

Operation/ Casualty                  

Incident Types are KIA, Non-Hostile Killed, WIA, POW, MIA and Total #.

Spanish-American War, April to December 1898, Freed Cuba, Phillippines, Puerto Rico from the Spanish. KIA: Army 369; Navy: 10; USMC: 6=Total KIA: 385. WIA Total 1662.

Boxer Rebellion-China, In the late 19^th Century there was a period of no growth and the rebellions left tens of millions dead. From 1898-1901 the “Society of Righteous Harmony Society” or “Yihetuan” or “Boxers” in English sought no further foreign or Christian interest in China. The Foreign Legations were attacked in Shanghai, and the alliance with the U.S., Britain, Japan, Russia, France, and others fortified the Legations and went after the Boxers and gained a victory. Killed were over 50.

There is a 1966 movie that might half-way explain the feelings of the period called “Sand Pebbles”. Actors are Steve McQueen, Richard Crenna, Candice Bergen, Mako and others. It was directed by Robert Wise. It takes place in 1926 China.

The Berlin Blockade was in 1948 to 1949 and there were 31 line of duty injuries reported.

THE START OF THE COLD WAR (WWIII): Although no major war shots were fired between the U.S. and N.A.T.O. versus the U.S.S.R. and the Warsaw Pact or China; but, there were about 15 times that a DEFCON TWO was almost called due to nuclear alerts that took about 15 to 30 minutes on the various Hotlines that settled the miscommunications. Plus, there almost was one DEFCON ONE during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 and the blockade stopped the alert. During the 1973 Israeli/Arab “Yom Kippur War”, Able Archer 1983 and the 9/11/2011 Al-Qaeda Attacks there were DEFCON THREEs Called.

In China 1945-1947 there were 13 KIA and 43 WIA during the Communist Change Out.

SCENARIO THREE: NUCLEAR TERRORIST ATTACK OR DIRTY BOMB:

If there is a terrorist nuclear explosion or a dirty bomb with high isotope radiation markers is exploded in the U.S., Israel, European Union or allies, then higher levels of decontamination, evacuation, checkpoints and staging areas will be needed. FVN Metro/State/National will have to work with local, regional, and Federal offices of FEMA Homeland Security, the National Guard, local, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies. The most FVN Command and Control can do is to get out of the way and work with the various agencies. This will cause a FVN GEMSTONE CODE EMERALD-BOUNDARY-STATUS BLACK.

Depending on where the explosion is, where the fallout cloud is going and where you are compared to those parameters. See above for flanking travel and evacuation routes. If you are/were in the primary contaminated area, then there is a good chance that Homeland Security, FEMA and National Guard units will be coming to get you, or you will be going to their decontamination areas, treat you for radiation poisoning–if possible, and get you set up in FEMA shelters. Now if you are outside the radiation area or upwind or the fall out will arrive in a day or two, then you will need to make proper preparations. Will and where FVN Area/Metro/State Controls be able to set up fallout shelters?

Many homes do not have basements or have half-basements, so if you do not have a basement or shelter, then think buying one or building one. If that is impossible to work with friends or family and neighbors to work on a community shelter or at least know where you can go to be or be safe and out of harms way. Call me on this subject.

HOW TO RADIATION PROOF YOUR HOME: Depending on your home and where your home is compared to the fallout cloud, the amount of radiation and path expected, then either you will have to try to evacuate or get hunkered down. You will need 24-36 hours to complete the shelter. I consider this a last resort because evacuation is better if it is safer. If you are in a General Radiation Alert and told to Radiation Proof your home then do the following:

Of course get all your kits, boxes and bags. Gather up as much water as possible. You should already have one gallon per person per day for fourteen days or more in potable (drinking) water and ten gallons per person per day in non-potable water for cleaning and sanitation. For non-potable water save gallon or larger milk or juice jugs, rinse throughly, put in one ounce of bleach, rinse again and drain. Then fill all jugs and mark as non-potable–do not drink. Keep a couple gallons of bleach, water purification tablets and a water filter. Try to get ten or 55 gallon water drums also. Don’t forget your first aid kits, medicines and special needs items. Set up a 360 degree water sprinkler on your roof and use it when the fallout is coming down. It will wash to the ground. If the fallout is not on the roof or the walls, then you shouldn’t have too much internal fallout problems for your shelter. Install gutters on all horizontal. Extend your gutter washes to 20 foot long.

You will need a basement that won’t flood, make sure to have a sump pump, and that you can still escape if needed. The biggest item to stop radiation fallout is concrete or dirt. You will need a lot of dirt and plastic to surround the basement of your house. Depending how big your basement is and how many people or FVN members are to stay there; in this scenario we will be planning on a 24 foot wide basement by 60 foot long with about 10-12 people to stay there. The 60 foot basement will be divided in half. Concrete blocks will be put in the middle at 35 foot long. As the block wall goes up dirt is shoveled into the holes. The blocks need to be at least two deep, and alternate the direction of the blocks cross wise on each level. The 20 inches of thickness should stop any residual radiation in the basement. There will be a doorway that has a double or triple entry with steel doors if possible. If you are really serious you can buy shelters on the internet.

Get 4"x6"s and set up a grid and lay 3/4 inch plywood at a 78" above the floor. Have the 4"x6"s every 12" on center to support dirt and lay the plywood on top. Shovel at least 8" of dirt or concrete above the plywood. Work towards the block wall. Remember that thick enough dirt and concrete stops alpha and gamma radiation. Plans available in Summer 2018. A concrete shelter must be built in prior to an emergency.

On the outside of the house you will have to cover all the windows with plastic and then cover with dirt or clay to at least two feet thick to two foot above the main floor. On the inside staple thick plastic at the two foot level above the floor, this should capture any radioactive dust, and let the space act as a partial barrier. You will not be able to use your central air/heat because it has to draw from the outside, hence radiation. Plus energy and utilities may be off or rationed. E-mail FVN for diagrams for these plans in 2018. Start to prepare to evacuate and gather all kits to one or two areas, if possible get to outside the radiation zone.

Utilities: Water and gas might be cut off. This is why you have extra non-potable water. If you have a basement toilet you can use non-potable water, but do not flush all the time, shut the lid. Use air spray and scented candles in and near the bathroom. If you don’t have a toilet, buy a portable toilet with bags. Try not to use it all the time. Have plenty of candles, mattresses, pillows and blankets, because you will want to be comfortable. Seal all your sewer vents and pipes with a rag or plugs so radiation can’t back flow.

Communications: First off you will need a hard-line phone. A phone that does not need electricity to use. Make sure to have cable TV or a satellite line to the shelter. Get the new Digital TV Box with long range antenna to put in the other room in the basement, because EAS messages, weather and fallout reports will be broadcast. Also have wind up radios and radios with extra batteries. Set up your CB radio with a magnetic stick whip in the room to get further range stations. GMRS in a basement will only be good for a couple of miles. The CB has five watts and with the extra antenna it should go five to 10 miles. Have a rechargeable setup for the CB unit and have extra rechargeable batteries as well as extra batteries. Have plenty of batteries for all radios and flashlights. Ask me about most communication or DTV questions.

Heat and Generators: If you can use a generator, probably a 5kw to 10kw to run a middle size refrigerator, a hotplate, a microwave, tv, cable or satellite box and a few lights as well as some heat or fans. Set it up in your outside 20 foot away but have it secured with steel fence posts, chain and lock. Only run the generator two or three times a day for an hour or two to charge everything, get the fridge and freezer cold, cook and see what is happening in the world. Someone will have to go upstairs and outside to start and stop the generator. A five minute exposure will not hurt you with dosage. Just have one set of outside clothes to change with inside clothes. As the half-life of the radiation expires your exposure time can be longer. But cover all your basement windows with plastic and dirt. Make sure to change clothes and decontaminate yourself. Once the all clear is given by authorities be ready to evacuate to a safe zone as prepared by FVN or FEMA.

Make sure that your safe room or fallout shelter that you have all leaks sealed. Have fans, circulations system and air filtration system. YouTube has various videos on Nuclear shelters and ventilation systems. Check prepper sites also.
