Is field artillery officer dangerous?
Yes, but nowhere near as dangerous as being an infantry officer or a combat engineer officer. Both of the latter put a man much closer to the direct fire of the enemy. Artillery was usually a few miles behind the front lines and adjusted its aim by receiving directions from a Forward Observer, communicating by means of radio or field telephone. Forward Observers were artillery officers, but they were on the front lines with the infantry, so they could see where the artillery should be aiming. Forward Observer was the most dangerous job in the field artillery.
Artillery was a target of the enemy, and if they could get a fix on its location they would fire their own artillery at the positions of friendly artillery, in "counter battery fire", and this was a hazard. The US was usually much better supplied with artillery ammunition than its foes, though, and probably did more counter battery firing.
Sometimes if the enemy made a successful attack and achieved a breakthrough, they would get in the rear of Allied lines and be back among the artillery before anyone knew they were coming, or before they had time to "limber up" and bring up their trucks, hook up their howitzers and pull back. There were instances where artillery batteries had to fire at visible enemy targets, over "open sights", which was considered point blank range for artillery. The enemy would of course be trying to shoot battery personnel in these encounters.
How many US Marines have ever won multiple medals of honor?
A total of 3,468 since it was created.

What types of nuclear bombs are their?
Many of these overlap or can be combined or altered in various ways, for example the so called "neutron bomb" is a type of clean fusion bomb designed to emit unusually strong neutron radiation at detonation. Also any fusion bomb needs some type of fission bomb "primary" to set it off.
How did silver carp enter the United States?
Silver carp or also known as "flying carp" entered the united states through aquaculture on catfish farms, they were imported by the farmers to control algae growth, flooding in the region released a population into local river systems. Being a very prolific and large species of carp, they rapidly reproduced and invaded other tributaries and migrated up the Mississippi river towards the great lakes.
What happened the day after the bomb was droped?
That day 90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 died. Then came the illness problem...
Leukemia, Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma, Nervous system tumors and their response relation were observed for all solid nodules, adenoma, and nodules without histological diagnosis, autoimmune hypothyroidism, stomach tumors and breast diseases. The population has a long follow-up (50 years) and includes both sexes and all ages of exposure, allowing a direct compilation of risks by these factors. the population has a long follow-up (50 years) and includes both sexes and all ages of exposure, allowing a direct compilation of risks by these factors. Because of the use of Japanese family registration system, mortality data are virtually complete for survivors who remained in Japan.
The result in the coral reefs in the Bimini Island who were demolished by nuclear blast came alive again after 50 years.
What Final Fantasy boss is harder Omega Weapon or Emerald Weapon'?
Out of these three Ruby weapon is definitely the hardest. Emerald weapon is fairly difficult but is susceptible to the "Lucky Sevens" status which can take away about half of his HP right off the bat. If "Lucky Sevens" is attempted on Ruby weapon it will hit for 0 damage every time. Also Ruby weapon is much more resistant to physical and magic attacks. Omega weapon is probably the easiest since you can abuse the items "Holy War" and "Hero" to make yourself invincible or Rinoa's combine ability "Invincible Moon" to also make yourself invincible.

In World War II, the Allies appeased Hitler when he began invading surrounding countries and allowed him to gain power before war was declared on Germany, leading to a horrific and drawn out war. Truman did not want to make the same mistake and allow North Korea to cause immense damage due to his failure to act soon enough.
Is theCivil Air Patrol part of the US military?
Technically, yes. Civil Air Patrol is the United States Air Force Auxiliary. However, C.A.P. members are not service members of the Air Force, just volunteers.
What were the names of the American Commanders during World War 2?
The Supreme commander of ALL of the Allied forces during WWII, this included US and its ALLIES, was Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. But we must not forget all the other great Generals that served for Gen. Eisenhower. Among them Gen. George S. Patton (US), Gen. Douglas McCarthur (US), Gen. Montgomery-Monty (UK). Each of these men a long with other generals, led simultaneous offensives and operations that brought success to the allies.
How fast are aircraft carriers?
The US Navy's Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers can generally hit a top speed of 30+ knots. Current carriers from other countries generally have top speed in the 25-28 knot range.
Us drops atomic bomb on japan?
The production schedule for additional bombs in 1945 was:
If Japan had not surrendered when it did, the US had the ability to have dropped up to 23 atomic bombs on Japan in 1945! The MK-IV (an easier to assemble, maintain, arm/disarm design) would probably have gone into production in early 1946.
While I have no precise data on the yield of the MK-III Mod 1, I assume it was probably expected to be higher than the MK-III. Probably between 30Kton and 40Kton. However it was not designed to improve yield, it was designed to balance Plutonium and Uranium production capacity (Uranium was easier to enrich to weapons grade than Plutonium was to produce in reactors).
See: Swords of Armageddon by Chuck Hansen.
Note: unforeseen events would likely have prevented meeting the full schedule of 23 bomb. One of these (wigner effect) happened in October and forced the shutdown of at least one of the three Plutonium production reactors and reduction in operating power of the others to limit the damage. However had the war still been going on then it might have been decided to sacrifice the reactors to keep production up as long as possible. Perhaps the MK-III core might even have been redesigned to be just Uranium should all three Plutonium production reactors completely fail.

Who led America to victory in World War 2?
The President of the US for all but the last 5 months of the war was Franklin D. Roosevelt. He died and was succeeded by his Vice President Harry Truman, who made the decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan.
The military leaders included chief of staff General George Marshall, General Dwight D. Eisenhower (European commander-in-chief) and General Douglas MacArthur (Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacific).
Was the atomic bomb used in a battle?
Hiroshima and Nagaski in Japan have been the only 2 bombs used against people. During World War II in August of 1945. The cities were known for military activity but also contained hundreds of thousands of civilians. Loses were great from the blast themselves, but many more died as a result of radiation poisoning.
I cannot tell you this, the details are classified. You would need a Q clearance and appropriate need to know to get access to this.
However, that said general information on this is in publicly available literature. A few books you might be interested in are: Robert Del Tredici's At Work in the Fields of the Bomb, Len Ackland's Making a Real Killing: Rocky Flats and the Nuclear West, Frank Barnaby's How to Build a Nuclear Bomb. I would also suggest taking a tour of the Hanford Washington B Reactor, which manufactured plutonium for the Gadget and Fatman bombs and many post WW2 atomic bombs.
Another option if you still want greater detail would be to make FOIA requests, however expect long delays, rejections which you will need to appeal, and highly redacted documents in any you succeed in obtaining.
When did the nuclear bomb explode?
In war: August 6, 1945 and August 9, 1945. They have never been used since.
In peacetime: some were dropped, some were detonated on the ground, some were detonated under the ground, some were detonated under water, some were detonated on steel towers, some were detonated hanging below balloons, some were detonated in the air after being shot from artillery pieces, some were detonated in the air on rockets fired from fighter intercepter planes, some were detonated high in the atmosphere or in space carried there on rockets, etc.
The first post WW2 tests were in the summer of 1946: Crossroads Able was dropped from a B-29. Crossroads Baker was suspended underwater from a barge in the center of Bikini lagoon. Due to unanticipated contamination from the Baker shot, the Crossroads Charlie shot was canceled.
Although most major powers (particularly the US and Russia) have ceased all nuclear tests, testing continues today by other nations.
What vehicles did they use in World War 1?

What do pearl harbor and Iwo Jima have in common?
D-Day was a landing of Allied troops onto the shores of France (France was occupied by Germany). Much like the landings in the Pacific...Guam, Saipan, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Leyte, etc. Pearl Harbor was NOT a landing. It was an aerial attack; the enemy struck...then departed.
How was the attack on Pearl Harbor a strategic error for the Japanese?
The use of Aircraft Carriers showed the Whole World the importance of Aerial attacks agains Battleships and land installations, Americans used that better that Japanesse(in late years), but that don't means that the Pearl Harbor attack was a failure that only shows that the Japanesse High command where not enought competent to use it more constantly in future Battles or Campaigns.
