ANALYSIS OF MILITARY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. PART 3. APPENDIX B. ATOMIC WARFARE
Abstract
The paramount problems facing the US Army in maintaining and possibly defending the US and its interests in the world in the light of the probable use of atomic weapons in future warfare have been the primary causes of the study under the general subject of Atomic Warfare. Included here are a total of four annexes which are entitled: Annex 1: The Effect of Variation of Energy on Atomic Weapons Characteristics; Annex 2: World War II Tactical Situations Analyzed with Respect to Atomic Weapons; Annex 3: Atomic Weapons in Army Operations; and Annex 4: Atomic Weapons in Western Europe. The analysis is predominantly qualitative but in many instances forecasts the possibility of more quantitative procedures. Despite the fact of its being preliminary in nature and subject to revision in the light of rapidly increasing evidence, this study is presented in the belief that it is possible to form some important and meaningful conclusions which will be helpful to the solutions of the more comprehensive problems of which this atomic study is an introductory part.
