    HOnestly as much of a problem as the torpedo was I'd still argue that Quartermasters corp during the interwar years did the most harm to US preparatory efforts and the US Signals Corps of the bureaus probably did the most proactive work but thats also because they were involved in airplanes and...

    Its more the period, 'we can't allow these entrenched bureaucrats and their provincialism to prevent moving forward'... which historically Ordinance continued to be a pain in the ass as did the other bureaus to US war planning in the lead up to ww2, and then ordinance returned to being a problem...

    And of course as an addendum most of the resistance he'll not just to semi automatic/ sub machine guns but for that matter to bolt actions came from the various ordinance branches and officers who thought they would lead to wasted ammo People talked plenty even before ww1 about semi automatic...

    This, and also this is a period where especially during war time where particularly as we saw during ww1 the cost of ammunition is measured in what rounds are duds in a batch. The shell crisis in England that eventually brought lloyd george to power was not unique to England and WW2 taught...

    July 1924 Sixteen men and four officers stood around him drawn from the ETS Assault Company attached to 1st Regiment. The youngest sergeant couldn't even grow a proper beard yet, but wore a field jacket hallmark of Xian's Regimental Scout Sniper graduates. By the end of the decade the sergeant...

    July 1924 An ETS was as the name implied an experimental unit, and these days they tended to build into increasingly large units. An ETS Assault Company of 1924 as attached to 1st Regiment was the Colonel's option to breach an enemy strong point thereby allowing a following on force to mount an...

    There is an abundance of post grad research on just how varied armies in China were in the warlord period and on both sides of it and the disparity in geographic regions north south and west to east becomes very pronounced Supposedly there are accounts of the use of wall mounted black powder...

It would become more even more pronounced once the mid autumn festival began, and the summer drills were concluded. "By...

    Threadmarks: 5 Conclusion

    5.5 Heron felt the twitch, it was a subconscious gesture of aggravation at this ... mess. He hadn't started to pace yet, or perhaps that was a worse sign.

    Threadmarks: Late June 1924

    Late June 1924 The Regular Army and the National Guard were still at drill, and if some had noticed the gradual reduction, and movement of some officers or even some units from exercises it hadn't reached public chatter. This meeting might change that, realistically these sorts of meetings were...
