Abstract
Today, with every television news station, radio station, police department, traffic reporter, life-flight rescue and emergency units circling above, helicopter roter sounds have become an annoyance to the public. The paper shows that this has led to an increase in local restrictions and tighter certification standards, forcing manufacturers to seek new technology for sound abatement. The paper discusses the three noise categories and modern noise reduction technologies.
From the Paper
"Helicopter noise reduction has become so important to rotorcraft manufacturers that competition has ignited advertising campaign wars with each claiming one or more of their models to be the quietest in the industry (Kernstock 1999). he competition is so great in many cases that many helicopters are ?within a tenth of a decibel of each other ? far below human hearing thresholds? (Kernstock 1999). This advent of low-noise technology has created two classifications of rotorcraft, the new quiet crafts that meet new regulations and the older noisy ones that continue to operate under grand-fathering clauses yet may be prevented from being introduced into new markets (Kernstock 1999). Moreover, as anti-noise regulations increase, the older grand-fathered craft could eventually become prohibited in many areas, causing serious consequences for many operators who cannot afford the newer models (Kernstock 1999)."

Abstract
This paper examines the medical college of Georgia Hospital and Clinics' helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS). This was utilized until the cost of operations and the demands on the service proved too high. The paper discusses the benefits of the HEMS. The study suggests that organizational and financial mismanagement of the initial HEMS resulted in its failure. Suggested reform strategies are analysed.
From the Paper
"The Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics maintained a helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) until the cost of operations and the demands on the service proved unfair for certain facilities. The benefits of the HEMS were significant. However, HEMS helped promote increased survival rates through identifying the needs of the patient and through transporting the patients and the current case study attempts to promote a feasible alternative to a specialist tertiary clinic. The current case study suggests that organizational and financial mismanagement of the initial HEMS resulted in failure, and that an appropriate reform strategy is accomplished through promoting an increased focus on organizational and financial management, as well as options designed to improve the services offered by the HEMS while also reducing the operational costs found therein. Suggested reform strategies include separating the HEMS.."

Neither the attack helicopter nor the main battle tank will be the primary ..."

"The Use of Helicopters in the Vietnam War
This research paper describes and evaluates the role of helicopters during different phases of the Vietnam War. Because of technological developments and the nature of that conflict, helicopters were used extensively by American and South Vietnamese armed forces to perform a variety of functions. These were primarily in the nature of tactical and logistical support to troops in the field, which greatly enhanced mobility and firepower on the ground of the anti-Communist forces in South Vietnam. In the early phases of the war (1956-1964) that role evolved in part to compensate for weaknesses in the South Vietnamese army (ARVN) but soon became an integral feature of the effort to counter communist control of the South Vietnamese countryside. As American military involvement in the war escalated..."

From the Paper
"The term maple is the common name for a family, Aceraceae, of trees and shrubs in the soapberry order, Sapindales. The Aceraceae has two genera. The first is the Acer, the maples proper and the box elder, and the second is Dipteronia. Most of the maple trees are deciduous, shedding their leaves every year at the end of the budding season; only a few have enduring leaves and are called as evergreen or semi-evergreen. The leaves of the maple tree grow opposite each other, and they grow in pairs. The leaves are commonly long-stemmed and lobed and they also have toothed margins."

Abstract
This paper explains that the book "We Were Soldier's Once...And Young: Ia Drang: The Battle that Changed the War in Vietnam" by Lt. General Harold G. Moore and James Galloway is a record of a group of soldiers who, under exceptional, inspirational leadership, fought not only against the enemy but also against the odds of their own survival. The author points out that the story focuses on the relationship between then Lt. Colonel Harold G. Moore and the 450 men who composed the 1st battalion, 7th Calvary and chronicles their horrific journey together as they were dropped into the Ia Drang Valley for the first battle of the Vietnam War and one of the first major military helicopter operations in history. The paper states that what also makes this book significant is that Moore and Galloway recount each man's death in individual dignity.
From the Paper
"A few different factors affected troop levels. The first was that President Lyndon B. Johnson did not declare a state of emergency and extended the active dusty tours of draftees and reserve officers. Thus, anyone with less than 60 days or less remaining on their tour would not be sent to battle. This removed at least 100 young men from Moore's battalion. The tour of duty was decreed to be 12-13 months, which meant that troops had precious little time to cement emotional and psychological bonds with the men fighting beside them. Additionally, there was a six month limit on battalion and brigade command. The men who would not be going to battle were the experienced men."

Combat Air Support, 2004.
This paper discusses the development and evolution of combat air support.

Abstract
This paper explains that aviation was only eleven years old when war broke out in 1914, but the obvious military potential of aircraft inspired a tremendous acceleration in aviation technology during the next four years. The author points out that the concept of combat air support, specifically coordinating offensive tactical air power with ground force operations, remained virtually non-existent until 1939 when the Nazis introduced the world to an even more frightening new form of warfare, which they called 'blitzkrieg'. The paper relates that, by the Gulf War in 1991, the AH-64 Apache helicopter gunship with its computer controlled, multiple target tracking systems and night vision capabilities rounded out the modern close air support and ground attack capabilities of the American military.

From the Paper
"The machine gun accounted for most of the casualties in World War I trenches, so in very short time, it was also adapted for use in aircraft, but it remained too difficult to employ effectively as a tactical weapon until the Germans introduced the interrupter gear that enabled accurate forward firing through the propeller. By war?s end, military aircraft had evolved to the point that squadrons of fast, nimble combat aircraft fought bitter duals to the death high above the battlefield. The British pioneered the development of maritime aircraft, even successfully deploying HMS Ark Royal (subsequently renamed Pegasus), the world?s first, albeit primitive, ?aircraft carrier? in limited combat."

Abstract
This paper explains that more than 25 years after the last helicopter lifted from the United States embassy in Saigon, the Vietnam War continues to cast a shadow on American history and continues to be the subject of contentious debate.The paper says that, for Hunt, one of the biggest failings of U.S. policy in Southeast Asia was the government?s inability or unwillingness to view the war from the perspective of the North Vietnamese. The author believes that the major shortcoming of ?Lyndon Johnson?s War? is that it failed to present the relationship between the Cold War presidencies.
From the Paper
"Johnson?s government subscribed to the prevailing ?domino theory,? the idea that if Vietnam falls to Communism, other satellite countries would follow. Like his predecessor President Eisenhower, Johnson believed that Communism was inimical to the free world. The domino theory reveals a view of Communism as a monolithic aggression. It did not recognize the nuances of the motives of the North Vietnamese people and their sympathizers. The Vietnam War was thus fought with the ultimate goal of containment in mind, with keeping Communism from spreading around Asia and, by extension, the rest of the world."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the cowboy ("vaqueros", Spanish,which evolved from the root word, "vaca" meaning cow) was first introduced in 1598 in the United States then known as the New Mexico Kingdom. The author points out that the American cowboys of the late 1800's trail drives came from Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Gaelic roots in the British Isles thus their distinctive lingo was based generally on the English language; their poems and songs are a part of the old tradition of balladry, the modern form of which is called western music. The paper relates that modern cowboys are still working in comfortable homes with their families, use advanced technology and husbandry in working cattle, use horses on the range but trucks are more common and helicopters and airplanes are used to supplement horses in herding cattle
From the Paper
"Equestrians, mounted horsemen, date back to 4000 B.C. and can be seen in Mesolithic representations of halters on domesticated horses. Archaeological evidence of horsemen in Spain can be found in rock art dating before 2000 B.C. and "in fragments of Celtic weapons, horseshoes, bridle bits and prick spurs by 500 B.C.." Other evidence from this same era include "bent-knee riders in saddles of concave silhouette" that appear in Iberian stone carvings, bronze castings, and vase paintings. During the Middle Ages, mounted herdsmen were a frequent fixture on the semi-arid lands of Spain, but rare in many other European countries, such as England and France."

Abstract
In order to examine the structures and operations of police departments in the United States, this paper distinguishes metropolitan areas, such as New York, with crowded conditions and skyscrapers and tenements fighting for space, with Los Angeles, which is an area of hundreds of square miles covered by cops in cars, helicopters and speed boats. The paper examines the similarities and differences between the LAPD and the NYPD. It also provides a numbered point-by-point summary of these comparisons.
From the Paper
"Bratton, first appointed by then-newly elected Mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, also was aware of the old saying "don't stick your neck out". As he said, "It's the first principle in running a police department." However, he did stick his neck out in favor of a highly centralized police department, just the opposite of LA's plan for the future. Centralization seemed important for rapid response units and their growth throughout the city. In New York, Centralization also meant (and in some areas still does) that the best cops were in the neighborhoods they knew, where they were respected, and were on call for emergencies, as well as for routine assignments".
