This United States Army manual publication, Training Circular TC 3-23.35 Pistol Including Change 2 January 2020, provides the framework and techniques for conducting pistol training; the components and cycle of function for the M9 service pistol; its characteristics, equipment, and ammunition; and covers the functional elements of the shot process that are essential to build Soldier proficiency with their service pistol. It serves as an authoritative reference for personnel developing institutional, installation, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for pistol training and qualification. The principal audience for Training Circular (TC) 3-23.35 includes commanders, staff, leaders, Soldiers, trainers, and instructors who are responsible for planning, preparing, executing, and assessing pistol training and employment. This manual is comprised of nine chapters and four appendices, and is specifically tailored to the individual Soldier's use of the M9 service pistol. This training circular provides specific information about the weapon, aiming devices, attachments, followed by sequential chapters on the tactical employment of the weapon system. The training circular itself is purposely organized in a progressive manner, each chapter or appendix building on the information from the previous section. This organization provides a logical sequence of information which directly supports the Army's training strategy for the weapon at the individual level. Chapters 1 through 4 describe safety, operation, types of sights, and accessories associated with the M9 service pistol. General information is provided in the chapters of the manual, with more advanced information placed in appendix A, Ammunition, and appendix B, Ballistics. Chapters 5 through 9 provide the employment, stability, aiming, control and movement information. This portion focuses on the Solider skills needed to produce well-aimed shots. Advanced engagement concepts are provided in appendix C of this publication. Appendix D of this publication provides common tactical drills that are used in training and combat that directly support tactical engagements. This manual does not cover the specific M9 service pistol training strategy, ammunition requirements for the training strategy, qualification, or range operations. These areas will be covered in separate training circulars. The training strategy through qualification can be found in TC 3-20.40, Training and Qualification - Individual Weapons. TC 3-23.35 applies to all Soldiers, regardless of experience or position. This publication is designed specifically for the Soldier's use on the range during training and as a reference while deployed.

The Manual of Tests and Criteria contains criteria, test methods and procedures to be used for classification of dangerous goods according to the provisions of Parts 2 and 3 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, as well as of chemicals presenting physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). As a consequence, it supplements also national or international regulations which are derived from the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods or the GHS. At its ninth session (7 December 2018), the Committee adopted a set of amendments to the sixth revised edition of the Manual as amended by Amendment 1. This seventh revised edition takes account of these amendments. In addition, noting that the work to facilitate the use of the Manual in the context of the GHS had been completed, the Committee considered that the reference to the "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods" in the title of the Manual was no longer appropriate, and decided that from now on, the Manual should be entitled "Manual of Tests and Criteria".

A large step toward Information Age war-fighting was completed in March at the Army's National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, Calif. The Army's Experimental Force (EXFOR)-the world's first digitized ground force, the 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized)-deployed to the harsh conditions of the Mojave Desert at Ft. Irwin for an intensive, realistic war-fighting exercise against the NTC's vaunted Opposing Force (OPFOR), the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. The exercise was the culminating event of the TF XXI Advanced Warfighting Experiment (AWE)-a key part of the Army's Force XXI process of continuous experimentation and transformation which will result in Army XXI-the digitized force for the 21st Century.

This report reviews engineering's importance to human, economic, social and cultural development and in addressing the UN Millennium Development Goals. Engineering tends to be viewed as a national issue, but engineering knowledge, companies, conferences and journals, all demonstrate that it is as international as science. The report reviews the role of engineering in development, and covers issues including poverty reduction, sustainable development, climate change mitigation and adaptation. It presents the various fields of engineering around the world and is intended to identify issues and challenges facing engineering, promote better understanding of engineering and its role, and highlight ways of making engineering more attractive to young people, especially women.--Publisher's description.
