Answer:  As with any well thought out and planned packaging scheme, the science of

military packaging for the United States Government developed from a well recognized logistical

need. This science has evolved over the course of its life to accommodate the many technology

changes in how the military distributes its supplies. It remains a dynamic force that can either

provide a positive or negative contribution to the success of military missions. Unlike most elements

of military doctrine, military packaging is rarely understood and appreciated for its contributions,

thus making it a prime target for criticisms from uninformed opinions.

The purpose of this paper is to make the reader aware of the basic reasons behind why military

packaging exists. This paper will review the many historic factors that first led military leaders to

recognize the need to protect supplies and equipment, and then follow the evolution of the science of

military packaging through current day practices.

GENESIS: The need for specific military procedures and requirements on how to package materiel

first surfaced on two different fronts. The Army had run sustainment exercises to Iceland during the

summer of 1941, and experienced high levels of supply losses that troop units attributed to bad

packaging. The same problem hit the Navy quite dramatically during the amphibious operations at

Guadalcanal in 1942. The commercial packaging that the Army, Navy and Marine Corps used during

the early months of World War II colossally failed to serve its intended purpose, and seriously

jeopardized the War Department's and Navy Department's abilities to sustain operations then being

planned. No one in either of those Departments had paid attention to the changes that had occurred in

packaging designs since Armistice Day.

In 1918, the most common shipping containers for military supplies were wood boxes, crates,

kegs and barrels. These were very much like the common commercial shipping containers of that

era, and were well-suited for all types of supply distribution environments. These containers were

heavy-duty, sturdy designs, generally built by craftsmen. With proper care, some surviving examples

of these containers could be readily used today as intended.

Immediately prior to World War II, military planners failed to recognize that the packaging they

had been receiving with their supplies would not meet their vital needs for overseas operations.

Industry had recognized that they could lower costs and improve profit margins by getting their

products to market in suitable packaging that weighed less and cost less to produce than traditional

packaging. In 1914, American railroads, who at the time were carrying most of the freight in the

United States, recognized and authorized the use of corrugated and solid fiberboard shipping

containers for packing many different types of products. Motor carriers, in turn, followed the

railroads' example in 1935 when they adopted their own packaging rules that often called for

fiberboard boxes. The United States Treasury Department issued the first federal specifications for

corrugated and solid "fiber boxes" in 1930 for packing supplies used by the civil agencies.

Industry, at the time, was also moving toward marketing plans that products would be consumed

Seeing that Trump has became the first president to be impeached two times, how do you feel about a president getting impeached
TEA [102]

Answer:

Tough question to answer.

Explanation:

This is a tough question to answer. Although it is in the Senate's constitutional right to conduct an impeachment trial, the Constitution states an an impeachment is only for a sitting US president and does not have much guidance for a non-sitting US president. As of now, Donald Trump is a private citizen and therefore the impeachment may not directly effect him in the same way as a sitting US president. However, an impeachment where he is found guilty will disallow him from running for office again in the future.

Although there are many arguments and opinions to this particular subject, the current impeachment seems to be more politically motivated than actually needed.

Why might some of the philosophers idea be. A threat to Greek tradition? Give me a short sentence ty
andriy [413]

Answer:

Some of the philosopher's theories could be contrary to Greek tradition since they do not follow the dictates of the gods.

Explanation:

Greeks were Pagans, thus philosophers and scientists who had rational ideas were in danger as the centuries changed. They looked for logical answers as opposed to anthropomorphic gods as the creators of the world.

Why should ancient philosophers’ ideas matter in today's world?

It doesn't matter if they should or shouldn't; the reality is that they do.

Here are some of the concepts that, dating back to the Greeks, have influenced the development of philosophy and civilisation (more generally) in the modern and current eras:

  • Parmenides: Being: an unchangeable, immutable, continuous reality.
  • Heraclitus: The Doctrine of Flux: The world as undergoing ceaseless change
  • Democritus: Atomism: Indvisible entities that make up composites, their nature being explained by the difference in the quantitative aspect rather than the qualitative aspect of atoms
  • Socrates: The Socratic Method, Conceptual Thinking
  • Plato: Idea of Universals
  • Aristotle: Logic, Science, Teleology

Both science and philosophy have been impacted by these concepts. Politics and ethics are topics I have not even begun to mention. These concepts continue to be present and addressed. For instance, despite the fact that contemporary science claims to have resolved the issue of teleology once and for all, the topic teleology attempted to address is still open. The Regress Argument is still a difficult concept for us to understand, and contemporary science has yet to discover a set of self-evident fundamental principles that can explain everything.

Thank you,

Eddie
