    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediate_Response_Force

    By 1980, the United States formed the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force (RDJTF) as a rapid reaction force under the U.S. Readiness Command. Composed of contingently assigned units from the United States Army, United States Air Force, United States Navy, and United States Marine Corps, its mandate was to rapidly deploy to confront worldwide threats to American interests.

    A rapid deployment force (RDF) is a military formation that is capable of fast deployment outside their country's borders. They typically consist of well-trained military units (special forces, paratroopers, marines, etc.) that can be deployed fairly quickly or on short notice, usually from other major assets and without requiring a large organized support force immediately.

    For military purposes, the U.S. Army categorizes snow as light, moderate, or heavy. Each classification affects visibility and ground movement due to accumulation and is quoted below: [45] Light snow – Visibility is equal to or greater than 5 ⁄ 8 mile (1,000 m) in falling snow. A trace to one inch (2.5 cm) per hour accumulates.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_effectiveness

    Combat effectiveness is the capacity or performance of a military force to succeed in undertaking an operation, mission or objective. [1] Determining optimal combat effectiveness is crucial in the armed forces, whether they are deployed on land, air or sea.

    The ARRC was created on 1 October 1992 in Bielefeld based on the former I (British) Corps (I (BR) Corps). [2] It was originally created as the rapid reaction corps sized land force of the Reaction Forces Concept that emerged after the end of the Cold War, with a mission to redeploy and reinforce within Allied Command Europe (ACE) and to conduct Petersberg missions out of NATO territory.

    ASHRAE 55-2017 defines the Cooling Effect (CE) at elevated air speed (above 0.2 metres per second (0.66 ft/s)) as the value that, when subtracted from both the air temperature and the mean radiant temperature, yields the same SET value under still air (0.1 m/s) as in the first SET calculation under elevated air speed.

    For handgun cartridges, with heavy bullets and light powder charges (a 9×19mm, for example, might use 5 grains (320 mg) of powder, and a 115 grains (7.5 g) bullet), the powder recoil is not a significant force; for a rifle cartridge (a .22-250 Remington, using 40 grains (2.6 g) of powder and a 40 grains (2.6 g) bullet), the powder can be the ...

    In this case if the shot is spun by the rifling about its geometric axis, a centrifugal force will be generated which will affect the barrel. For example, a shot mass of 10 kilograms (22 lb) with an offset of 0.1 mm and spin velocity of 500 cycles/sec will generate a force of 9870 N .
