Website Theme Change

On October 9, 2025 I changed this site's theme to what I feel is a much better design than previous themes. Some pages will not be affected by this design change, but other pages that I changed and new pages I added in the last several days need to have some of their photos re-sized so they will display properly with the new theme design. Thank you for your patience while I make these changes over the next several days. -- Ray Merriam

The splashes of exploding dynamite greet soldiers crossing a stream on a narrow toggle bridge during jungle training on Oahu.

Under fire during advanced training, four medical corpsmen demonstrate how to remove a casualty from the battlefield during jungle training on Oahu.

Firing Thompson submachine guns, well-camouflaged soldiers clear a street before advancing during jungle training on Oahu. The disarmed Japanese soldier is one of the stereotyped mockups.

A bomb detonates in the street of a mockup Japanese village as men work their way through it during an exercise in house-to-house fighting on Oahu. Note the dummies in the windows of the houses on the right.
