Port Hadlock, Washington
A new command officially joined the four major US Navy installations of Navy Region Northwest during a brief ceremony 27 April 2000. The former Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, Detachment Port Hadlock, officially became Naval Magazine Indian Island. The 2,716-acre facility now reports directly to the region commander rather than a series of others in the Southwest. The mission of providing ordnance-related support including receipt, storage, issuance, and inspection did not change, nor did the staffing of approximately 12 active duty members and 124 civil service and contract employees. Effective 01 October 1999, Naval Magazine [NAVMAG] Indian Island (formally known as Port Hadlock Weapons Detachment) had its support moved from the southwest region (Seal Beach) to the northwest region (Subase Bangor).

However, precise figures for each gender are not available.

Did president Truman desegregate the armed forces?
The short answer is, Yes. The Korean War was the first war fought with integrated American troops. However, a ship called the USS Mason (DE-529) was the first ship to have a all black crew except for officers. this is an excerpt from my essay on it: The story of the USS Mason (DE-529) is not well known, but the story of desegregation in the armed forces is. The reason I bring this up is the Mason was the first ship in the US Navy to have a predominantly black crew. "In 1998, the Secretary of the Navy John H. Dalton made official his decision to name an Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer the USS Mason (DDG-87) in order to mark the contributions of USS Mason (DE-529) Sailors equality and desegregation."

No, to my knowledge, their are no foreign military bases within the US, but we DO have bases in Germany as well as many other countries. However, these other countries are not annexed to the US.

In War II the acronym used was SHAPE- Supreme headquarters, Allied Powers in Europe. Under NATO may still be used. there was also- SHAEF ( pronounced Shafe which is not a word!)

What are the weight regulations to join the US Army?
Yes. There are height/weight standards you must maintain while you're in, as well. Generally speaking, your height and weight won't necessarily exclude you from enlistment. If you're overweight and/or unable to pass your initial PT test, you'll have to spend time in a Physical Fitness Unit before you ship downrange for Basic Training. If you're too short or too lightweight, it could exclude you from some programmes (such as Airborne School).
What are the rank requirements for Rear Detachment Commander for a separate brigade level?
If it is not dictated by a higher headquarters, then I would say it is up to the Brigade Commander. The Rear Detachment Commander would have to be authorized with sufficient UCMJ authority. Maybe a Lt. Col or Major. If the Brigade Commander was also the local Garrison/Base Commander, then that may complicate the matter, unless the Brigade Commander has a standing Deputy Commander for Base Operations.
How did people join the Vietcong?
Both the Communists (North Vietnam and the South Vietnamese Communists, known as the Viet Cong-VC) and the South Vietnamese governments "DRAFTED" their men. When we entered a village (town) and there were NO military age males around, we knew they were either, deceased, hiding, or serving in the North or South Vietnamese military.
How many soldiers from Puerto Rico have been killed in Iraq?
I am from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and know a bit of our history.
As far as I know, all drafted soldiers from Puerto Rico in World War One were sent to Panama to protect the recently opened Canal. I do not know if any died there, but that was a non-combat zone. Malaria was a common type of sickness back in those days, so maybe some of them died of this illness, common in tropical climates. They were sent there because it is a Spanish speaking country, as is Puerto Rico.
Many other soldiers were sent to different spots on the island, to serve as home guard. In particular, coastal areas.
Some puertorricans may have eventually been sent to France, but they were probably living alrready in the US, and enlisted in the regular army, and not drafted residents of the island.
The first shot of the United States in World War One was fired in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on March 21, 1915, when the German vessel Odenwald tried to enter the port without permission. It was a U-boat re-supply ship.
The second shot of the war (the first shot after war was declared), was in 1917 on the island of Guam, where the German ship Cormoran was forced out of the harbor by US Marines dettached on the island.
One of the last veterans of World War One, a puertorrican named Emiliano Mercado del Toro, died last year at 116 years of age (by Guiness, the oldest veteran of ANY war in recorded history). He received basic training at the Las Casas training facility (today, a housing complex), and was sent to Panama. Other accounts say he was on his way to France when the Armistice was signed.
Some military facilities and batteries from the era can still be seen in San Juan today...

I would definitely not call it a third world country, but it hasn't quite yet gotten to the level of a first world country (it's getting there, though). I think that most people would classify it as a 2nd world country.
