Book Description

Manual of the Construction Division of the Army Section C, Engineering Division, 1918 was published by the Construction Division Army for the purpose of guiding the military in all of its construction plans. Many of the instructions comprised within the text are designed and influenced by emergency conditions; however, the plans are designed to apply in various situations, including when the economy allows for proper supplies and peace-time commercial standards can be upheld. This manual is an enlightening view of construction and design via the Army Engineer Corps and provides excellent advice for builders and those interested in building; regardless of skill level or available resources. The primary intent of this publication is to guide emergency construction by the military and to aid constructing officers in the interpretation of building plans. For officers that are distant or isolated from the commanding office (perhaps off-site during war-time conditions), this book provides many need-to-know construction plans and concepts. To assist in construction, the manual provides a series of drawings for demonstration purpose; these drawings are meant to be thoroughly understood by the officers prior to building. Any officer who utilizes this manual should already be versed in building standards and construction policies prior to taking on any of the designs in this text. Manual of the Construction Division of the Army Section C, Engineering Division, 1918 is an interesting read for any reader intrigued by military history, construction, or architecture. This book provides wonderful examples of military structures, especially those utilized in historic military conflicts such as World War I and World War II. This book will also be interesting to doomsday "preppers" who are always looking for more information on how to prepare for and survive post-apocalyptic conditions.
