All they have to do is run off a bunch of copies of US Army field manual FM 301-101-1 "Esperanto: The Aggressor Language." You can get your own copy. Go to http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/ click on the "Collecton Online" tab, then the "Authority Documents" picture on the next page, the search button on the next page and then enter esperanto in the search field on the next page. No idea yet as to when this 1962 edition which replaced the 1959 FM 301-101A will itself be replaced by a joint manual. I would assume that a more current estimate of the Esperanto threat would be required first. That's just the Language Guide for folks who were studying the threat of the Dreaded Agressor Armed Forces of teh Triumvirate of the Circle Trigon. The Circle Trigon Forces were distinguished by three characteristics - they spoke Esparanto, they wore "Ming the Merciless" crested helmets, and they were the only military in the world that the Pentomic Army has a reasonable chance to beat. (Agressor training back then was pretty stylized). Needless to say, the events of the Mid-1960s revealed certain shortcoming in agressor training. Eventually the whole shebang evolved into NTC at Ft. Irwin, with dedicated OPFORS pretending to be real opponents, and whatever they're calling the operation at Ft. Polk, (Which is where the Former Russian Helicopters hang out. - at one point, in the mid-'90s, the most current Mi-24 (Hind) pilots were in the U.S. Army) -- Pete Stickney A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures. -- Daniel Webster |
