In Book 1 of this of this series, a secret society of war and democide survivors sent a female warrior Joy Phim and her historian lover John Banks back to 1906 to prevent the major wars and democides of the 20th Century and to promote a democratic peace. In Book 2, the new universe created by the lovers enabled a radical Islamic ruler to achieve a global Muslim dictatorship by attacking and defeating the democracies with nuclear weapons. Dying survivors sent a message about the nuclear attack back in time for the lovers to find, and to prevent this horrible future. This was their new missio

Military medical personnel are tasked with fulfilling both the benefits mission and the readiness mission of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Currently, most military medical personnel are stationed at military treatment facilities (MTFs) during peacetime, where they maintain their clinical skills by treating beneficiaries of TRICARE, the military health care program. However, the medical skills required during deployment are likely to differ significantly from those required at MTFs. Alternative arrangements for maintaining medical skills for deployment may be needed. One alternative wou

Options examined included the objective individual combat weapon (OICW, a rifle and precision explosive round combination, now designated the XM-29), improved body armor, better sensors, the use of small unguided vehicle
