Attached is Twitter's "special bonus" for today. It is a 1946 US Marine Corps training document describing in easy to understand terms how the Mark III IFF failed in combat in WW2. Image
You can look up Cmdr Jolley's Leyte Invasion IFF procedure to detect Japanese radar 'doxing' of US Mark III gear in the link at paragraph 11, sub-paragraph f.

Hello all,

Welcome to Twitter's SECTION 22 WEEK, a multi-media history event. Section 22 was a secret WW2 radar intelligence unit in the S.W. Pacific.

This thread will host a 82 slide information packet that will be released over six days prior to a CIMSEC Bilgepumps pod...
...cast.

I ask you all to refrain from responding until the complete packet is up 24 Feb 2021. This is so I can do a @ThreadReader twitter thread unroll that will enable people to download the whole package as a PDF doc.

@NavalHistWar @AC_NavalHistory The story of the Brodie device is relatively easy to find. The April 1946 issue of the Field Artillery Journal had a three page article on the development history.

The USS LST-776 carried the device to Iwo Jima & Okinawa.

The Marines didn't think much of it. The 77th ID loved
@NavalHistWar @AC_NavalHistory ...the Brodie device as L4 Cubs launched from it spotted several hundred explosive suicide boats at Kerama Retto before they landed.

@NavalHistWar @AC_NavalHistory Drawings from the Brodie patents are on-line here:

@MilAvHistory & @CBI_PTO_History have a great video on the February 1942 IJN attack on USN carrier Task Force 11. (link & title in @MilAvHistory tweet) watch the whole thing.

This thread is going to expand on the "Scope dope" of that engagement. /1

The book "Radar and the Fighter Directors" by David L. Boslaugh, Capt USN, Retired is on-line at the Engineering & Technology History Wiki.

The TF 11 engagement is covered here:

The CXAM Goes to War - Chapter 6 of Radar and the Fighter Directors

The "Scope dope" I'm going to talk about applies at about
~31:30 in @MilAvHistory video.

See at the time hack in the link below./3

@NickHewitt4 The LVT's would have made a huge difference at Omaha beach for the same reasons they were the margin between victory and defeat at Tarawa.

They let a large body of formed infantry with an intact chain of command and intact radio net get right on top of an enemy position.
@NickHewitt4 More importantly, they would have used the Maj. Gen. Charles H. Corlett's Kwajalein LVT radio net procedures.

US Army’s 708th Provisional Amphibian Tractor Battalion at Kwajalein put VHF band, quartz crystal controlled FM radios in every LVT.

@NickHewitt4 The 708th was a converted US Army independent tank battalion built to support US Army infantry divisions. Everything it did at Kwajalein was standard operating procedure for US Army independent tank units, which had had “Shoot, Move and Communicate” in its...
