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

Who were the bolsheviks and why were they important
katen-ka-za [31]

Bolsheviks were the majority group of the workers of Russia, who under the leadership of Lenin, believed in the revolutionary methods for bringing about changes in the society and the state. In their opinion, the parliamentary methods would not be able to bring about any changes in a country like Russia where no democratic rights existed and where there was no Parliament. Ultimately, it was these Bolsheviks who were able to bring about a successful revolution in Russia in 1917 and they changed the whole structure of the state and the society.

Why did the us government begin planning to overthrow fidel castro in 1960?
konstantin123 [22]
On January 1, 1959 Fidel Castro and his band of guerillas took over the government of President General Fulgencio Batista. Although the United States supported Castro during his revolution against Batista's regime, it was uneasy over the communist leanings of Castro. In 1960, Castro seized private lands and took over all U.S. owned businesses in Cuba and imposed heavy taxes on American goods. As a result, the United States ended diplomatic ties with Cuba and imposed a trade embargo which made Cuba turn to the Soviet Union instead. The United States made several unsuccessful attempts to overthrow the Cuban government.
