Ich recherchiere gerade für ein Buch über die US-Militärfeuerwehr in Nürnberg und Umgebung. Dies soll die Ausstellung zu Feuerwehren der US Armee im Nürnberger Raum ergänzen, die gerade im Feuerwehrmuseum auf der Feuerwache 3 gezeigt wird. Wer Fotos aus der Zeit 1945 bis 1992 zur US-Feuerwehr haben sollte oder jemanden kennt, der Infos geben könnte, bitte kommentieren oder bei mir melden.
I am currently researching for a book on the US Army Fire Department from the Nuernberg/Germany Region. If you have pictures from 1945 thorugh 1992 depicting the work of the military fire service in Franconia, feel free to contact me!

Do they grow up to be terracotta warriors? But unlike the terracotta warriors, which are each unique, with different faces, this group was split between boys and girls, but all seem to come from the same mold and have the same face. I have no information about this very odd, creepy army of babies that was in a v-shape formation on the lawn at Governor's Island in 2008. The Sculptor's Guild and 4heads both had shows that year, but a Google search only turns up one other photo. No other info or artist's name. Weird, but intriguing. HInt of a dark dystopia. Maaaaamaaaa! -- Governor's Island, NYC -- October 8, 2008

Royal Gibraltar Regiment trains in the UK
Soldiers from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment have recently completed their annual four-week exercise in the UK where they have made use of training facilities not available on The Rock.
After their mandatory shooting tests on the impressive ranges at Hythe in Kent, the troops moved on to Sennybridge to make full use of the huge Brecon Beacons training area.
Unusually, the weather in South Wales was warm and sunny, so sunny in fact that a ban was imposed on the use of certain types of weapons because of the increasing number of large-scale grass fires.
During the exercise, the regiment was visited by its Commander-in-Chief, His Excellency Vice Admiral Sir Adrian Johns, and by the British High Commissioner to The Gambia, Mr Phil Sinkinson. Sir Adrian said:
"I have been very impressed with the regiment's skills and motivation. Clearly, the exercise has been planned to gain maximum value from those facilities which are not available in Gibraltar."
Whilst at Hythe, every soldier completed his annual combat marksmanship test which included distances of 50, 100, 200, 300 and 400 metres. To fail at any one of these distances meant that a soldier failed the whole test.
Major Ivor Lopez said:
"Hythe's ranges are excellent. As well as the rifle ranges, there are ranges for sniper weapons, for our underslung grenade launchers and for our light support weapons.
"There is also a full scale 'village' in which we can practise our internal security tactics. We don't have these facilities in Gibraltar so we have to exploit this opportunity to the full."
After a long journey to the Sennybridge Training Area in South Wales, the troops stepped off the coach straight onto the training area and into five days of living 'in the field', carrying everything they needed on their backs.
During this period they practised all their basic infantry skills and relearned the art of living out in the open. Although the days were sunny and warm, night-time temperatures often dropped below zero.
The sheer size of the training area provided an opportunity to brush up on map-reading skills, so essential for soldiers who are not used to such an expanse of training land or navigating using 1:50000 maps.
It also tested the Regiment's ability to communicate by the use of radios across an area many times the size of Gibraltar. Major Lopez continued:
"We have brought twenty Moroccan troops with us and that also makes us think about how we work in a multinational environment.
"Soldiers' basic skills are learned here in Sennybridge and then adapted for use in Gibraltar. And everything that will be used later in the year on Exercise Jebel Sahara has been learned here."
A further advantage of training in the Brecon Beacons is that most of the Army's infantry courses are held there. The better the regiment's troops get to know Brecon, the better their chances of doing well on their career courses.
By the middle of the third week of the exercise, the troops were carrying out company-sized attacks using 'live' ammunition and 'live' hand grenades.
In one attack, three sections each of eight men made their way up a tight valley, knowing that the 'enemy' was hidden somewhere and was about to open fire on them.
The 'enemy' was represented by electronically-operated pop-up targets but as each soldier ran and dived for cover before opening fire with at least thirty 'live' rounds, there had to be some very real safety measures in place.
Private Daniel Rodgers said:
"I've enjoyed all the live firing. A lot of it has been exciting and I've learned a lot of new skills.
"At the recruit infantry training centre you don't do the training for Fighting In Built Up Areas and I've never done platoon attacks with 'live' ammunition. I'm really enjoying it."
Running separately from the main exercise is the six-week Junior Non-Commissioned Officers' cadre. This tough course helps the regiment select which of its top Private soldiers will achieve their promotion to Lance Corporal.
Several members of the cadre have already dropped off the course and others have injured themselves so the numbers are falling.
Private Luke Willis said:
"We know that promotion depends on how well we do here. Everyone wants to get one of the top slots. The first week was tough as we had snow and ice at night but since then the weather has improved - until today!"
The final days of the exercise saw the cadre setting off on its final task whilst the main regimental exercise was moving into its most intense phase.
The officers who planned the annual exercise had aimed for something that was 'ambitious but achievable' and, clearly, they had certainly achieved their aim.
The Regiment's Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Colin Risso, said:
"This exercise qualifies our unit and our people for all our operationally-mandated tasks in Gibraltar and goes further in preparing every commander and soldier for wider professional utility.
"Let's be under no illusion, this is serious business and we will seize every opportunity we can to achieve the best results."
I'm gonna capture 'em all
A clay nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna show it all
Taking their time right in front of my lens
And I'm talkin' to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind

Now they are safely packed, but for a brief moment I did have my dream army of tiny micelings.

These guys are under basic Army training, I'm their Platoon Sergeant putting them through their paces. This is the Final attack, and what you see is not fog but a smoke grenade used to mask the movement of the troops. all i had on me was my iPhone. i wish i had my camera.
stand up
you've got to manage
I won't sympathize
anymore
and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me
you're alright
there's nothing wrong
self-sufficience please!
and get to work
and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me
you're on your own now
we won't save you
your resque-squad
is too exhausted
and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me

Many interesting EMD locomotives reside at the SEMO Port, a major industrial facility along the Mississippi River just south of Cape Girardeau, MO. Of particular interest, and in a position where it could be easily photographed, was this former US Army GP7, built in 1951. Although it has been working at the port since the 1990s, this unit, with its switcher trucks, single note 'honker' air horns, and only slightly faded paint job, looks just as it did during its Army service.
