From RareAviation.com VAT 81 PROOF III OF VEHICLES IBTRODUCTICW Vehiclea must be weter-conditioned for amphibious operations* Even on ideal beaches, where there is a normal rise or fall of tide, hazards of weather, abnormal tides, or the possibility of a boat wave missing the correct beach may result in the landing craft grounding some distance from dry land* This will necessitate movement of the vehicle to shore in water above its safe fording depth, whioh varies from one foot five inches (16*) on up. In the case of the corrugated beach, channels of deeper water may be encountered just ahead of where the craft grounds. This may involve ford- ing a distance of some 200 or SOO yards, starting at a depth of three (S) or (4) feet of water* Therefore, certain protective-measures must be taken to insure that there is no mechanical failure during or after immer- sion of the vehicle in water. It is not Intended that we use the vehicle as a water craft, but that it be sufficiently waterproofed in order that the engine will run, without Undue damage, for a short period of time through water of a depth that would stop an ordinary vehicle without such water conditioning. To successfully water-condition a vehicle, systematic and thorough stops are necessary. UNCLASSIFIED Chapter -U- Page 4UNCLASSIHED METHODS OF WATER-CONDIT I08ING VEHICLES I. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: (a) BATTERY: Cover the terminals and cable connections with material provided. Hext seal the battery filler plug vents with grease or petroleum jelly. Wooden match sticks in the filler plug vents make a good seal and are easily removed. However, less danger to the battery will result if these vents are sealed with grease, sinoe the internal pressure generated will blow out this type of seal before the danger point is reached. (b) STARTIM MOTOR: A collar of waterproofed putty or caulking seal is worked around the starting motor where it enters the flywheel housing. A sleeve of oil cloth is fitted around the entire motor and is worked into this putty collar. It is then made fast intc the putty by a loop of soft wire. The open end of the sleeve is then sealed with putty and pulled up tight with wire. The starter switch and battery cable connections are covered with waterproof putty or caulking material. (c) IGNITION COIL: The primary and secondary leads are enclosed in soft rubber tubing or are wrapped with rubber tape. An oil cloth sleeve is then fitted around the entire assembly and fastened with putty and wire. The ends are filled with putty and brought up close around the lead wires with wire. This joint is covered with rubber tape. (d) DISTRIBUTOR: All leads - - primary, secondary, and spark plugs - - are either enclosed in a soft rubber tube or wrapped with tape. This is brought down to the contact and the rubber nipples are placed over the rubber-enclosed wire. Next, a collar of putty is worked around the base of the distributor body. A sheet of rubber is cut to fit over Chapter -4- Page -H- M From RareAviation.com Water proofing UNCLASSIFIED (d) DISTRIBUTOR (oont d.) the cap and the lead* are inserted through this sheet. The rubber is pulled down around the distributor body and made secure with wire. An oil sloth sleeve is then worked into the putty collar and made fast with wire. The open end of the sleeve is filled with putty and brought up close around each lead wire. Thia joint is sealed with rubber tape. (e) SPARK PLUGS t The leads from the distributor are either en- closed in rubber tubing or wrapped with rubber tape. A. four (4) inch length of garden beta is sealed around each plug into a collar of putty stuck on the block* The leads are then connected and the end of the hose filled with putty and bound with rubber tape. (f) The generator is water-conditioned in the sama man_________ ner as the starting motor. (g) REGULATOR> All orifices are plugged with putty and the entire assembly is enclosed in oil cloth. The oil cloth is worked around each wire entering the regulator and made water tight with putty and rubber tape. (h) ELECTRIC HORN, Wrap in oil cloth and bind with copper wire. j II.

(o) GASKETS ABD GREASE RETAINER SEALS, All gaskets and grease- retainer seals should be inspected prior to water-conditioning. Grease retainers on all wheels should be in good condition to prevent entrance of water into wheel bearings. Any questionable seals should be replaced. UNCLASSIFIED Chapter -U- Page -Z- LWWWWWWV* UNCLASSIFIED Water proofing III. MISCELLANEOUS j (a) PIPBt The tail-pipe should be extended to approx_______ imately four (4) feet above ground level, either by means of flexible metallic tubing fixed to the end of the tail-pipe, or rubber tubing olamped onto the end of the tail-pipe. (b) FAM BELTi The fan belt is removed to prevent the fan from throwing water on the motor. (o) CRANECASE BREATHER> The breather nay be sealed by means of a wooden plug, or putty. (d) OIL LEVEL BAYONET GAUGE: Remove oil bayonet gunge and place in the tool box. Then plug the hole with a wooden plug. (s) MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER; Stop up the hole or holes in the master brake cylinder filler cap with putty. (f) FURL PUMPi Stop up the hole or holes in the base of the fuel pump with putty. (g) RADIATOR: A ground sheet, shelter half, or some such waterproof material should be clamped under the hood so that it hangs down in front of the radiator, and then loosely secured to the front axle. This will prevent a bow wave from surging back through the radiator and over the motor. (h) RADIATOR CAP: If the radiator cap is not of the "air seal* J type, it may be sealed by working putty under the edge of the cap and around the neck of the filler. Adhesive tape may be used for the same purpose. (1) The quality of all rubber hose should be checked. It must be vir- ile, and if the quality is questionable, the hose in question should be re- placed. All connections should be tight. (j) The undercarriage and fenders may be coated with oil to prevent future rusting. Chapter -U- Page -W- .img jjjj From PilotManuals.com / RareAviation.com Vater Proofing UNCLASSIFIED III. MISCELLANEOUSt (coatd) (k) All chipped paint areas should de painted to prevent form- ation of rust and scale. (l) All wiring should de checked for quality and possible "short- ing* dangers. The distributor Should not be sealed if the vehicle is to remain long in storage before being landed. Prolonged covering causes condensation of moisture inside the distributor body with a "short* re- sulting. DRIVEBS INSTRUCTIONS (a) Since repair facilities probably will not be available for some hours or even days after the vehicles are landed, the responsibility for the continued operation of vehicles falls largely on the drivers. For this reason they must be thoroughly instructed in the care of their veh- icles after landing. There are several steps to be taken, which, if not properly and promptly performed by the drivers, may cause the vehicle to cease functioning. (1) BEFORE LAND ING i (a) Drivers should first be instructed how to handle their vehicles between the landing craft and the beach. The following instruc- tions should be given i (1) While vehicles are being driven through the water- the use of clutch and brakes should be avoided and the choke SHOULD NOT BE USED. (2) DO NOT start the motor until the landing craft ia a few hundred yards from the beach. Since the fan belt is disconnected the motor will heat rapidly. Although the motor should be well warmed be fore leaving the craft, starting the motor too early will cause it to beChapter -U- Page -11- _" tt dMf Vater proofing :'"v overheated when it is needed most to pull the vehicle onto the beach. Drivers should constantly watch the temperature gauge for signs of dan- gerous overheating. (3) Just prior to debarking* set the hand throttle at a fast idling speed to reduce the possibility of the motor being killed while driving off th boat. The vehicle should be driven slowly and stead- ily down the ramp and off into the water. It must be kept moving steadily through the water and NOT ALLOWED to a top. (2) WHILE LANDINGt (a) Use the lowest gear and all driving wheels (4 or 6 de- pending on the type of vehicle). Do not shift gears while the vehicle is in the water* as attempting to do so nay cause the vehicle to stall* after which it is almost impossible to get it in notion again. (b) If the water is deep* there may be a slight drop off the end of the ramp. The driver should not be alarmed, by this * s Ince the water will have a cushioning effect. He should be able to take his vehicle smooth- ly off the ramp. (3) AFTER LANDING (a) The driver should next be instructed in the cars to be given the vehicle after it is landed. Certain portions of the water-ocn- . ditioning materials must be removed immediately upon "hitting" the beach to prevent injury to the vehicles* while others may be removed at a later tiara. The following steps should be taken immediately upon reaching dry ground. (1) Remove the oil-cloth or other covering from the generator and connect the fan belt. At the same time* remove the radiator cover from the front of the radiator* thus permitting passage of air. (2) Remove the covering from the distributor cap and body. Continued operation with th covering on the vent holes will cause condensation of moisture and consequently "shorting". I j I u l < o o j r < r ij Chapter -U- Page -12- From RareAviation.com Water Proofing i IMPi - Clph U i i U L i! ; U (b) The following steps should be taken from thirty (30) to sixty (60) minutes after landing* (1) Renowe the crankoase breather plug, and seals from the hydraulic brake master cylinder. Incidentally, the brakes will be partially out of action until they dry off. It has been found that light pressure on the brake pedal while the vehicle is in the water will keep the linings dry. If they do become wet, however, a few applications of the brake after costing ashore will rectify this. This should be done at the earliest opportunity and NOT left until the brakes are first needed. (2) Remove the seals from the vent holes in the bat- tery filler caps. (a) At the first available opportunity w ithin the next twenty-four (24) hours, the following should be done* (1) Clear all remaining vent holes- - transmission, transfer ease, differentials, axles, eto. (2) As soon as possible, check the following* water in crankcase, transmission, differentials and axles, and check battery to see if salt water has penetrated. (S) If the presence of water in the lubricants is suspected, drain and refill with clean oil, tut make certain the new oil is available BEFORE emptying old oil. (d) As soon as possible, and not later than a few days after landing, the waterproofing material should be entirely removed and every detail of the vehicle inspected, cleaned, and greased as necessary. Part- icular care must be taken to insure that all ventilation holes are clear, and that all electrical gear is dry and free from corrosion. Chapter -U- Page -1)- WMS SV V Vater proofing UNCLASSIFIED () Preserve as much of the water-conditioning material as possible for future use. (f) Sea water in contact with ferrous metals forms caustic soda which attacks aluminum very rapidly. Sea Water and oil form an emul- sion which has a very injurious effect on steel bearings and pistons. SERVICE ECHELON MAINTENANCE (a) After motor service facilities have been established, the vehicle should be given a thorough cleaning to prevent corrosive action of the sea water* A 6*000 mile inspection* including a complete change of all lubri- cants* should be performed* MATERIALS (a) Necessary materials for waterproofing vehicles are contained in Kits* Waterproofing,WV-6, Universal Type. (b) Each kit contains a "manual, TB 700-39, 800-18, 10-1000-28, dated August 28, 1943, which is complete with illustrations and instructions for waterproofing each part on all type vehicles* (c) Technical advice and assistance in preparing all Task Force vehicles will be furnished by Motor Transport Officers. SUMMART (a) Care must be taken in all steps of water-conditioning. (b) Drivers must be thoroughly Instructed* both in driving through water and sand* and in servicing their individual vehicles. (o) Vehicles must be carefully serviced once ashore* end given a 6*000 mile inspection as soon as possible. (d) Patience* care* and practice are required to prepare vehicles suc- cessfully for amphibious operations.

General: The following instructions are designed, to protect small arms against complete immersion during deep water fording operations or surf landings, and still permit immediate use of the material after landing. They will serve as a general guide for supplementing supervision of actual waterproofing by train- ed personnel. Materials; a. The materials for the preparation of small arms for deep water fording are listed below. Cover, waterproof, small arms (film type) (Specification No. F.Q.D. No. 377): Type 1. Cover, waterproof, pistol. Type 2. Cover, waterproof, rifle. Type J. Cover, waterproof, submachine gun. Type 4. Cover, waterproof, machine gun. Tape, adhesive, non-hygroscoplc, 2-inch (same type as used on tanks for overseas shipment). Oil, lubricating, preservative, medium (landing operations). Grease, asbestos. Grease, water pump, U. S. Army 2-109, may be used as a sub- stitute for grease, asbestos. 3. Waterproofing Instructions; a. Before operations are started, the weapon should be properly lubricated, placed in the waterproof cover, and securely tied. b. The muzzle of each mortar should be sealed with non-hygro- sconic adhesive tape, and further protected by an application of asbestos grease along the seams of the tape. Gears and working parts of elevating and traversing mechanisms should be lubricat- ed with medium preservative lubricating oil (landing operations). Exposed surfaces of ring joints, sleeve joints, and other possible points of entry of water should be protected by applying asbestos grease. Work the grease well up against all points of the surfaces being covered so as to fill in all cracks, seams, holes and cre- vices. Be sure that it Is smoothed down well and adheres at the edges. UNCLASSIFIED Chapter -4- Page -2Z- B'jlT From RareAviation.com c. Machine gun mounts should, be handled, in the same manner as mortar mountsthe objective being to prevent the entry of water by using the asbestos grease. d. For any other type of smell arms material not covered by these specific instructions, medium preservative lubricating oil (landing operations) should be used. e. As soon as possible after landing operations are completed, the waterproofing material should be removed. Parts subjected to salt water should be washed with fresh water, throughly dried, cleaned, end properly lubricated as described in the pertinent technical manuals. | INC) Chapter -h-Ui'Jt/L/ jdir-'LU WATERPROOFING OF WEAPONS FOR DEEP WATER FORDING SECTION II ARTILLERY General; The succeeding paragraphs in this section contain general instructions that are applicable to all tynes of artillery. The instructions are designed to protect artillery against complete immersion during deep water fording operations or surf landings and etill permit immediate use of the materiel after landing. They will serve as a general guide for supplementing supervision of act- ual waterproofing by trained personnel. Only the significant points are covered in the detailed instructions. Necessity for extreme care in all steps cannot be overemphasized. Every seam, Joint, or opening must be completely sealed. When waterproofing is completed, the materiel should be carefully Inspected to make sure all openings and parts have been properly treated. a. Service Prior To Water-proofingr (1) Clean gun (or howitzer) and carriage thoroughly. (2) Lubricate all points ordinarily lubricated delly. weekly, and monthly in accordance with pertinent War Department Lub- rication Guide. Lubricate points ordinarily lubricated every 6 months if they have not been done recently. (I) Apply medium preservative lubricating oil to the bore of the tube and breech mechanism. In the case of the LO-mm gun, apply the oil to the casing and automatic load assemblies. (U) Tighten bolts and nuts in all covers or openings such as oil gears transmission cases, electrical fixture boxes, etc. (5) Remove all oil and grease from points to which waterproof- ing compound or materials are to be applied. (6) Put materiel in traveling position. b. Materials: The materials for the preparation of artillery for deep water fording are listed below.

Use of Materials: (1) Grease, asbestos, is used to fill all cracks and Joints, and to cover over rivets, bolts, and taped surfaces. It is used on breechblocks, elevating and traversing mechanisms, axles, ana trails. HOTS: Grease should never be applied to fire con- trol instruments. (?) Cover, protective, individual (gas cape), Is cut to proper size for covering on-carriage sighting equipment as specified in detailed instruction. (?) Cement (Bostik), is used to seal waterproof sheets and cement them to metal surfaces. (U) Oil, lubricating, preservative, medium, is used for lub- ricating breech mechanisms and gun bores. (5) Be sure that all parts to which asbestos grease, Bostik cement, or tape is to be applied are thoroughly clean and dry. This is necessary to secure adhesion and to prevent water from working around or under the waterproofing materials. (6) When applying asbestos grease, work it well up against all points of the surface being covered so as.to fill in all cracks, seams, holes and crevices. Be sure that it is smoothed down well and adheres at the edges. (?) When applying waterproof sheet, put cement on both the metal and the edge of the cloth to be sealed down, and press firmly in place. Seal all edges carefully, giving particular attention to the folds of cloth, as water can easily.enter through hidden open- ings in a fold, (8) Make doubly sure that all electrical equipment is perfectly sealed as instructed. Chapter -h- Page -26- g. t (9) Unless otherwise noted, all instructions using the terms Seal, refer to asbestos grease. "Cement," refer to Bostik. "Waterproof sheet," refer to gas cape or alternate water- proof covering.

Page -4o- UNCLASSIFIED SPECIFICS MS ESTABLISHED FOR LOADING SLED 1. Weight* Th cargo sled was designed, to handle a minimum load of 3,000 pounds. However, it was found that the sled could be handled better with a lighter load and 2,000 pounds was adopted as.the Most de- sirable weight. In loading sleds, with wore than one typo of material making up the load, it is important that the weight distribution be as symmetrical as possible to facilitate handling. 2. Heights of load. From the Transport Quartermaster *s point of view, all the sled's should have the same height so that the cargo in the ships holds can be floored over when necessary. Because of the va- riety of materials palletised, this was not possible without using large amounts of dunnage and wasting shipping space. However, it was speci- fied that the loaded sled should not exceed 40 inches from the bottom of the runner to the top of the load. This permitted the load itself to be 32 inches in height. It was desirable to limit the height of the loaded sled also from a stability standpoint. A lower center of gravity decreases the tendency of the sled to tip over while it is being lifted or towed, 3. Arrangement. In some cases it was requested that certain oom- binations' of supplies and equipment be secured on a single sled. This involved the arranging of the various sized boxes and articles so that a stable, secure load was obtained. This was accomplished by using the rigid materials to be loaded on a particular sled to make up the four corners and using any soft or non-rigid materials in the center. The load should ba solid, square, and level on top so that the sleds can be stacked and, whenever necessary, dunnage should be used to accomp- lish this.

The damp loose proportions are 1 to 2.9 X 1.20 to 4.4 X 1.06 1 to 3.5 to 4.7. Free moisture carried by aggregate is 1/2 X 3.5 1/4 X 4.7 2.9 gallons. The net water to be added at the mixer is 8.0 - 2.9 = 5.1 gallons. A two-sack batch of this mix would require: 21 5.1 * 10.2 gallons of water added at the mixer 2X1 m- 2 sacks of cement 2 X 3.5 7.0 cubic feet of damp-loose sand 2 X 4.7 9.4 cubic feet of damp-loose gravel Batch quantities for each mix are shown for whole numbers of sacks of cement to give a batch volume not greater than 14 cubic feet. 3[Jnit quantities based on following assumptions: moderately wet sand carrying 4 percent moisture by weight (1/2 gallon per cubic foot) with damp-loose volume 1.20 times dry-compacted volume; moist gravel carrying 2 percent moisture by weight (1/4 gallon per cubic foot) with damp-loose volume 1.06 times dry-compacted volume. To estimate quantities for a particular job, multiply unit quantities by the total volume in cubic yards of concrete to be placed, and add about 5 percent to cover unavoidable loss and waste. Example: 120 cubic yards of concrete are to be placed using a 1 to 2.3 to 3.6 mix (by dry-compacted volume), water- cement ratio 7 gallons per sack, and 1-inch maximum size aggregate.

It turns out to be too wet (large slump) and appears to b oversanded. Investigation shows moisture content of aggregate about as shown in paragraph 132: A percent and 2 percent by wight j respectively in fine and coarse aggregates. | To adjust this mix, first increase amount of coarse aggregate with a corresponding decrease in added water, thus econcoiaing on cement and tending to correct oversanded condition. Batch quantities from table are: I water...................................9.3 gallons I cssent...................................2.0 sacks | fine aggregate..........................5.5 cu. ft.

EVACUATION AELOaT 21. LdLLLSL.- *. LlSLLL^LL ILL-L .sLLT.4 LL IkLLlLL LLLL- The plan for this evacuation service will depend upon the number and relative locations of the landing beaches if there la more than one, which will usually be the case, as well as upon the number and locations of the troop and hospital ships in the landing area in relation to the shore. Widely separated or detached landing beaches require separate allotment to them of the necessary hospital ships, ambulance boats, personnel, and materiel for evacuation from shore to ship. Hospital ships at anchorage in the landing area are comparable to evacuation hospitals receiving patients from front line divisions in normal land operations. Beach heads are comparable to division hospital stations, and the boats plying between shore and hospital ships cor- respond to the Army ambulance companies in the Army scheme of evacuation. b. lasaiiifia aim> For evacuation from shore to ship the following.means are employed. (1) Small boats returning to ships from landing Ixappi? The use of these boats in the initial stages or a landing operation for transporting wounded from shore to ship is uncertain and dependent on the military sit- uation. They cannot bo thus employed until the essential combatant troops and their equipment have been put ashore. Until the landing is secured, all other activities must yield to this paramount necessity. Thereafter, perhaps later in the first day's attack, these boats on their return trips to ships may carry casualties, preferably slightly wounded. While being thus used, these boats are not entitled to fly the Hod Cross flag nor to the protective provisions of the Geneva Convention. (2) Ambulance boats? These are motorboats of varying siso and de- sign assigned to the operative control of the Navy force surgeon. They fly the Red Cross flag and may be used only for the transportation of cas- ualties, medical personnel, and medical materiel. When thus marked and employed, they are entitled to the protective provisions of the Geneva Con- vention. The joint medical plan should provide a reasonable number of these boats of approved patient capacity, design, and speed. They should be used primarily for the transportation of seriously wounded cases to hospital ships. (3) Lighters and barges? Each of these, capable of carrying a large number of wounded on litters or stretchers, should be added to the ambulance boat service in the landing area, to the extent of the requirements, as rap- idly as they can be made available after combatant troops and their equip- ment have been put ashore. (U) Motor launch for the Navy force surgeon? A swift motor launch at the exclusive disposition of the Navy force surgeon and his staff assist- ants is highly desirable for the efficient administration of the naval evac- uation service in the landing area. The assignment should be made before arrival* in the operations area. Chapter -7- Page -2- L UNCLASSIFIED Note> Ships boats generally are not well adapted for use as ambulance boats, especially those below the UO-foot motor launch (class B boat). The 50-foot motor launch (class A boat), except for its too low speed, is fairly satisfactory for this purpose. Loaded Army litters can be stowed in the class A and B boats as shown below: ARMY LITTER On bottom Second tier (across thwarts) Total 50-foot launch... 12 12 24 UO-foot launch... 6 S 14 c. Development of ehore-to-shiv evacuations Ab a rule, during the initial stages of a landing attack, comparatively few casualties can be removed from beaches. Although the landing of combat troops and materiel must have first consideration, it is highly desirable to have ambulance boats provided for the evacuation of the seriously wounded di- rect to hospital ships. In any event it is the responsibility of the Raval force surgeon to organise and develops his evacuation service step by step as rapidly as the situation permits; and the detailed plan should provide for the rapid organization of systematic evacuation from shore to ship. 22. PgbgrlgaiXaas The debarkation of Army medical units and equipment is carried out in ac- cordance with Army debarkation tables. 2J. Phases of Landing Operations: a. The dispositions and employment of the Army and Navy medical ser- vices conform to the three general phases of the landing operations in which, during the first phase, landings of combat teams on the assigned beaches are made and as rapidly as possible the attack on each beach is pushed with such reinforcements as are necessary or available until the beaches are secured from enemy light artillery fire. This requires as the objective for this phase the establishment of a line about 10,000 yards Inland. The second phase consists of those further operations Inland which secure the beaches from enemy medium artillery fire. This requires as the objective for this phase the establishment of a line at least 15,000 yards inland. The third phase includes the further land and air operations necessary to secure the objectives for which the landing was undertaken. b. Simultaneous landings are made by as many combat teams on as broad a front as the boat facilities will permit without undue dispersion. 24. Army Medical Service During First Phase: a. Medical detachments: The medical detachments of combat units debark with the organization to which attached. In a combat battalion, two first-aid men wearing Red Cross bras- sards and carrying as much dressing material as they can, board the landing boats with each company. uhuLMdOh ILU Chapter -7- Rage -I- From RareAviation.com It is their duty to land with and follow their companies closely, and to render each assistance to the wounded as may de possible. The remainder of the battalion medical detachment will normally go ashore in the later Subwave which lands the battalion headquarters, the battalion surgeon accompanying the batta- lion commander. Ordinarily, only such medical equipment and supplies as may be hand carried can be landed at this time. The men should,however, carry as many dressings, blankets, litters, and as much splinting material as practicable. The detachments' transport and heaviest equipment follow later. The battalion medical detachment of an Infantry assault battalion establishes an aid station at or near the beach at the best available site, where the battalion casualties are collected and treated as in land attacks. As the battalion advances Inland, the medical section follows it and establishes successive aid stations according to the situation. The procedure followed by the medical section of an infantry reserve battalion is basically the same as that for the medical troops attached to an assault battalion in the landing, as is also that of the medical sections of field artillery and combat engineer battalions. b. RsgUsaU; LLLllLLL! Regimental sections of regimental medical detachments will normally land with their own regimental headquarters and thereafter perform their duties in accordance with the normal practice in offensive operations. In some situat- ions it may be necessary for the regimental section to take over temporarily a battalion aid station at the beach filled with wounded whom the battalion section has had to leave behind in order to follow its battalion. (1) The Army beach medical service proper lands early as a section in the Army shore party and operates thereafter under the shore party com- mander, Tne duties of the evacuation officer in charge of this section are toi (a) Organise and coordinate the Army medical service on the beach. (b) Receive, sort, and classify, temporarily care for, and retain control of all casualties arriving at the beach; turn them over to the naval medical embarkation officer (par. 25) only as fast as the latter can dispose of them. (o) Provide such shelter and protection for the casualties as are practicable, (d) Establish and operate a medical supply point. (e) Establish connections with other Army medical units on or near the beach. (f) Assist in forwarding messages and supplies to medical units In- land. (g) Mark hie station by the Red Cross and other Identifying signs. (h) Cooperate closely with the naval medical embarkation officer on his beach. (2) Wounded may temporarily accumulate in large numbers on the beach. They must be segregated and the walking wounded rigidly controlled; especial- ly must the latter be prevented from interfering with the activities of the beach party. Therefore, casualties ready for evacuation from the beach will ne assembled at a location designated by the shore party commander, which should be located with due regard to suitable boat landings, cover from the enemy fire, location of the aid or collecting stations, and natural drift.of the wounded. One or more such locations may be designated for each beach. Chapter P*g* Jj. (J) Medical personnel to assist the evacuation officer should come from a corps medical regiment or other medical unit of low debarking prior- ity. This personnel must be adequate for the many duties of the evacuation section of the shore party, which include the movement of all litter cases collected at the beach to a point on the shore from which they will be load- ed into boats by the naval medical embarkation officers personnel. In em- ergency, the evacuation officer may have to furnish litter bearers tempor- arily to assist in loading boats. The initial evacuation section of the shore party landing in the leading combat team may of necessity be only a skeletonized group. In such cases its early reinforcement will be provided for. (4) It is highly Important that the sorting, classification, and group- ing of patients by the Army evacuation officer is done carefully and system- atically. This assists the naval medical embarkation officer materially, permits greater economy in the use of boats and decreases later the secondary transfers from ship to ship. d. Medical regiment divisional (or medical battalion, triangular div- ision) (1) Collecting companies: If conditions permit, the personnel of col- lecting companies land later during the first day's attack, taking with them such materiel as can be hand carried. Litter bearers of collecting compan- ies move out to make contact with regimental and battalion aid stations and evacuate casualties from them to the beach. Other collecting companies per- sonnel establish an initial collecting station near the beach. As the beach head is enlarged, collecting companies advance their collecting station in- land, maintaining contact with the medical detachments in their zone of act- ion. The transport and heavy equipment of collecting companies can be land- ed only after boats and simple docking facilities have become available for this use. (2) Ambulance companies: The personnel of ambulance companies normal- ly follow soon after the collecting companies. If casualties are heavy and the attainment of the first objective slow, the personnel of those companies should be used as litter bearers to assist in evacuating casualties to the medical stations on or near the beaches. In some situations it may be im- possible to land the ambulances until the end of the first phase. (j) Hospital companiest These companies usually cannot establish hospital stations ashore until the landed forces have gained beach heads at least 4 or 5 miles deep. Local topography may sometimes permit earlier establishment of these stations. If such is the case and if boat trans- portation to shore is available, advantage should be taken of such favor- able circumstances to provide these facilities on shore for the care of casualties. Patients In hospital stations will be classified and held un- til called for by the Army evacuation officer. In opening the initial hos- pital station after landing, the hospital company may take over the patients and the site of a collecting station near the beach, the collecting company opening a new station further inland. When companies of two or more bat- talions of a Medical regiment are operating on a beach, a commanding offic- er will be designated and a command post established for the control of such elements. (4) NLdlcal regiment headquarters and headquarters and service compan- 1W These companies may be expected to land with corresponding echelons of the division headquarters. The division surgeon, however, should establish an advanced command post when the division command post is opened on shore. Chapter -7- Page -5" From RareAviation.com (5) By the end of the first phase, part of the medical regiment of the divisions should be ashore, operating collecting stations, an ambulance service, and perhaps a hospital station near the beach. A medical supply point and dump will be in operation near the beach for the supply of medical units ashore. Note; Medical organization of .a Marine Corps brigade consists of four medical companies, each composed of a headquarters section, collection section, hospital section, and service section. These medical companies land and operate in accord- ance with the brigade medical plan. 25. Navy Medical Service During First Phase. a. Navy Force Surgeon: With the launching of the Initial landing attack, the Navy force surgeon* s office becomes the nerve center of the combined activities of the two medical ser- vices, The Army force surgeon must maintain close contact with the Navy force sur- geon. This is easily done if both are embarked in the same ship. It is necessary that the Navy force surgeon receive prompt and frequent reports of the casualty situation on each landing beach. This will be done normally through signal com- munication from beach parties. A board in his office should show the bed capacity of each hospital ship in the landing area as well as that of troop ships previous- ly prepared and staffed to receive slightly wounded from shore. On another board the evacuation officer or his staff keeps the current bed occupancy status of each receiving ship. This measure is of prime importance, since by means of it the act- ual bed situation throughout the fleet is known with approximate accuracy at all times, and boats returning from shore with patients are routed accordingly. Report of casualties and bed status are rendered to the Army and Navy staffs periodically; hourly, if called for. b. Beach medical service: (1) The naval evacuation service on a beach forms a section in the beach masters organization. The skeleton of this section, at least, should accompany the beach master in the first boat group and be reinforced to full requirements at the earliest opportunity thereafter. The task of the naval medical evacuation officer Is to organize and operate the service of evacuat- ion from the beach. His activities Include: (a) Establishment and marking with the Red Cross flag and other necess- ary Identifying signs, an evacuation station at a site approved by the beach master. (b) Establishing and maintaining close contact with the Army evacuat- ion officer of the shore party. (c) Reception of casualties from the Army evacuation officer and load- ing them into boats according to their classification for movement to design- ated receiving ships. (d) Keeping the Navy force surgeon Informed of the casualty situation on hie beach through naval signal communication on the beach and by messages transmitted by naval personnel in boats carrying casualties from shore to ship. (e) Forwarding to the Army evacuation officer messages and supplies re- ceived by him for the Army medical service ashore. Chapter -7- Page -6- unclassified (2) If casualties are collecting In large numbers on the beach in the early stages of the attack, naval medical embarkation officers must be alert to take advantage of any opportunities to send as many of them as prac- ticable to ships by returning boats. This is generally desirable although there may have to be a ship-to-ship transfer of these cases later. c. Evacuation at end of first phase: By the end of the first phase, evacuation from shore should have progressed to the use of a considerable number of improvised ambulance boats (previously used in landing combat elements) now provided with medical per- sonnel and equipment from hospital ships or transports for the emergency treatment of casualties en route; perhaps a few regular ambulance' boats en- titled to fly the Bed Cross flag; an organised ambulance boat service to most of the beaches; and the delivering of all casualties from beach evacuation stations to designated ships. 26. Army Medical Service During Second Phase. During this phase, any remaining elements of the divisional medical regiments 7 medical battalion, triangular division), including transport, are landed and ce positions and missions similar to those assigned them in offensive land oper- Lonp. a. Corps medical regiment; By the end of this phase,the corps medical regiment may be expected to have landed and relieved the divisional medical regiments of their functions at the beaches, allowing these elements to move forward in support of the act- ion of the division. b. Medical supply: The medical supply service for the troops ashore is further developed in this phase; the medical supply point at the beaches is more systematically organized, supplies in the medical dump built up, and depleted stocks of the medical units inland replenished. 27. Naval Medical Service During the Second Phase; By the end of this phase, the naval medical service should have succeeded in iveloping and systematizing the evacuation from shore and at the receiving end; lat is, in the fleet itself. This it is enabled to do through: (a) Increased number of landing boats available for the use of the medical services. (b) Inauguration of a regular ambulance boat service to the more im- portant beaches (c) Docking facilities, though limited, at Important beaches. (d) Use of a small number of barges and lighters now made available to the medical services, whereby wounded can be removed from a beach more ex- peditiously, comfortably, and in much greater numbers. (e) Fewer transfers of patients from ship to ship. If casualties are heavy, evacuation from shore in the early stages of the landing is more or less an emergency measure and patients are brought in many instances to whatever ship may be most practicable for the boat carrying them. As communication from the beaches becomes well established, and hence the numbers and classification of casualties on each beach reach the Navy force surgeon with some regularity, delivery of casualties can be made to ships according to patients' classificat- ion and ships' vacant beds. This favorable development proceeds in like pro- portion with the increasing facilities noted in & to d above. UNCLkSSlHED Chapter -7- Page -7- From RareAviation.com 28. Army Medical Service During Third Phase! a. Surgical hospitals generally may be landed and established early in this phase. Their use to the extent of their limited bed capacity is of distinct advantage to the most seriously wounded. b. Evacuation hospitals, comparatively large units, should not be landed and established until a sufficient advance inland has been made to afford them suitable choice location and reeonable assurance that they will not become involved in local reverses to our forces. c. General and station hospitals in which definitive treatment is carried out cannot be opened until a secure oversea base has been establish- ed. If general hospitals then must be built, at least U months will probab- ly be required for their erection and equipment. It may be possible to con- vert existing buildings to general hospital use In much less time. The over- sea expeditionary plan may or may not contemplate the establishment of gen- eral hospitals in the occupied territory. d. Army medical laboratories (mobile) will be landed as early in the third phase as their use becomes practicable and necessary, e. Army medical depots will be established ashore at such time and points as conform to the supply plan of the expeditionary forces after a base has been secured. . Haw Medical Service During Third Phase: a. In this phase the naval medical service may be expected to have at Its disposition sufficient boats of suitable types to enable it to perfect shore to ship evacuation. Evacuation from some beaches will probably have ceased and the other beaches have been provided with adequate wharf and dock- ing facilities. Hospital ships may be relocated at anchorage to shorten the average trip from beach to ship. b. In this phase, in which the Navy is best equipped and organized to carry out its part of the evacuation service, the Army is gradually adding to its facilities for caring for its own casualties ashore. This augmentation continues until, if the Army is successful in its mission and general hospit- alization in the occupied territory is contemplated, the Army will eventually hospitalize its casualties in its own establishments. If the Navy is then to continue evacuation for the Army to home ports or other bases, it will still evacuate that part of the Army's sick and wounded which have ceased to be military assets or whose recovery will be a matter of many months. ZO. Medical Supply to Landing Beaches: a. In land operations it is difficult to maintain an adequate supply of blankets, litters, and splinting material at advanced medical stations dur- ing combat in spite of the specific provisions made for an exchange of these items for every casualty carried to the rear. It is more difficult in joint landing operation. Both Army end Navy are involved in this supply to the land- ed medical units. All medical supplies are on board ship when the attack is launched. Medical personnel landing early can take with them only very small quantities of these items. In the early stages of landing, blankets, litters, and splinting materials cannot be exchanged with any degree of certainty, as troop landing boats, if sometimes used to remove wounded from the shore, may deliver their patients to ships not carrying medical supplies. Furthermore, the boats may not return directly to the beaches but go to another ship to take a boat load of troops ashore. UNCLASSIFIED Chapter -7- Wage -8- b. (1) Therefore, the supply of blankets, litters, and splinting and. dressing materials on beaches by exchange cannot be relied upon. It is necessary that the joint medical plan make detailed provision for this supply during the landing operations, to include; (s) That medical detachments landing take with them as many of these items as they can man-handle. (b) That a medical dump be established promptly on each beach under the direction of the evacuation officer (shore party) , with the necessary personnel to operate it. (c) That boats in the early stages of the attack, landing sup- plies include some of these essential items of medical equipment. (d) That as soon as ambulance boats are put into service, they build up, on their runs, from ship to shore, as rapidly as possible and maintain ample reserves of blankets, litters, and splinting and dressing materials on each beach. (e) That the naval medical embarkation officer (beach party) take all necessary action to facilitate this supply. (f) That at the beach, exchange with litter bearers and ambu- lances bringing in casualties from inland be rigidly enforced. (?) The measures given in (1) above apply especially to the crit- ical first and second phases. Thereafter an organized and more extensive system of medical supply to the landed forces should be in operation. c. (1) The Navy stretcher is designed for use on board ship. For the movement of large numbers of casualties from shore to ship it is unsat- isfactory . Its employment for this -purpose would further require the trans- fer of wounded from the Army litter to the Navy stretcher on the beach, (?) In Joint oversea expeditions it. is desirable for the Nsvy to make the necessary adaptations (litter hoists, litter slideways, bunk straps, etc.) for the uae of the Army litter In transferring Array casualties from shore to ship. 31. Alternative Procedure in Sorting and Classifying Casualties; a. Ideally, the sorting end classification of sick and wounded is best carried out on sh^re, thus permitting boats carrying casualties to ships to be systematically and most economically employed, and at the same time reducing to the minimum the time taken and tne discomforts to patients in the subsequent secondary evacuation from ship to ship. Practically, in confused and crowded condition of the beaches often occurring, the heavy in- flow of wounded, the early scarcity and irregularity of casualty carrying boats, and the uncertainty of the particular ship to which any loaded boat will deliver its patients, shore sorting, as experience has shown, may be far from satisfactory. b. An alternative procedure is to anchor a hospital ship off each beach, designate it as a sorting station, and at the same time fill it to capacity with casualties requiring early operation and others which are to be evacuated to a home port, transferring the rest to other ships. When this sorting ship is filled with the proper cases it leaves and is replaced at anchorage by another hospital ship. If occupied beaches are close toget- her one sorting ship may serve more than one beach. This method was used extensively by the British at Sallipoll in 1'315. Chapter -7- Page -9-UNCLASSIFIED From RareAviation.com APPENDIX ILLUSTRATIVE ESTIMATE OF HOSPITAL SHIP BEDS FOR A HYPOTHETICAL JOINT OVERSEA EXPEDITION 1. General: The following estimates and computation of hospitalization afloat to accom- pany a hypothetical Joint .rmy and Navy oversea expedition are meant to serve only as an illustration of how the problem may be approached in the preparation of the medical plan. It represents a situation requiring a large number of beds in class A, class B, and class D hospital ships, but not as high a percentage of such beds as might be necessary in another situation. Note: For the purpose of this manual, class A hospital ships are those ful- ly equipped hospital ships in commission in the Navy; class B hospital ships are those Navy hospital ships carried in the Navy Register, but not in commission in peacetime; class D hospital ships are those procured and converted and equipped as floating hospitals from commercial shipping and commissioned as hospital ships in the Navy. The fewer the class A and class B hospital ships available for use in a Joint army and Navy oversea expedition the earlier should estimates be made for the num- ber of beds required afloat in the area of operation. This is necessary because class D hospital ships must be procured, converted, equipped, and manned prior to the expeditions departure from the port of embarkation. It should be noted that the division of sick and wounded according to their seriousness, between class A and B ships, and class D ships, as made in this il- lustrative situation, will not be an arbitrary one in practice, provided the class D ships have been converted into modern and fully equipped hospital ships. 2. Principal Data on Which Estimates Were Based? t a.

To the 6,800 hospital ship beds must be added such beds as are determined upon in the plan for the reception of the probable or the pos- sible naval wounded. c. (1) In this example, no factor of safety has been provided for the numerous possibilities of imforseen changes in conditions or in the sit- uation, which might increase the hospital ship bed requirements. No allow- ance has been made for prisoner-of-war casualties. It is only rarely pos- sible to utilize at one time 100 percent of hospital bed capacity. (?) Ordinary prudence dictates that in the situation here assumed, a reserve of st least 10 percent of hospital ship beds be added. This re- serve may initially be held, ready for Bailing, at the port of embarkation. (z) That the number of hospital beds provided for the situation indicated for the first 28 days after sailing from the port of embarkation is conservative, is apparent from the fact that 1,916 of the sick and 2.6Z2 of the wounded, a total of U.5US, are held in landing area. A considerable per- centage of the sick will have returned to duty by the end of this period, but of the wounded a majority will still be on a Bick status, probably in part on land and in part on ship board. These sick and wounded may exceed the Navy's nospital resources even after all transports which can possibly be spared for the purpose have been hastily and iadequately fitted out for their hospitallz ation. Chapter -7- Page -12* *5>ii JI ________________________ UNCLASSIFIED (U) Ac to the use of transports for the return to the home port or other base of those sick and wounded who in this hypothetical situation have been moved in hospital ships, it is to be recognized that both cate- gories (those in class A and B and those in class D hospital ships) are of such a serious character as to require the medical and surgical care and the facilities of properly equipped hospital ships. History furnishes ex- amples of deplorable and even scandalous instances of the movements of gr- eat numbers of the sick and wounded of such joint expeditions from the oper- ations area to a distant base In entirely inadequately converted and medic- ally equipped troop transports; and consequently attended by wholesale de- privations and unnecessary suffering. In the main such conditions are to be ascribed to the initial failure to plan for and to provide as a part of the expeditionary shipping sufficient hospitalization afloat. i ifii nonfrirr-.
