"The U.S. military has a stockpile of approximately 400,000 tons of excess, obsolete, or unserviceable munitions. About 60,000 tons are added to the stockpile each year. Munitions include projectiles, bombs, rockets, landmines, and missiles. Open burning/open detonation (OB/OD) of these munitions has been a common disposal practice for decades, although it has decreased significantly since 2011. OB/OD is relatively quick, procedurally straightforward, and inexpensive. However, the downside of OB and OD is that they release contaminants from the operation directly into the environment. Over time, a number of technology alternatives to OB/OD have become available and more are in research and development. Alternative technologies generally involve some type of contained destruction of the energetic materials, including contained burning or contained detonation as well as contained methods that forego combustion or detonation. Alternatives for the Demilitarization of Conventional Munitions reviews the current conventional munitions demilitarization stockpile and analyzes existing and emerging disposal, treatment, and reuse technologies. This report identifies and evaluates any barriers to full-scale deployment of alternatives to OB/OD or non-closed loop incineration/combustion, and provides recommendations to overcome such barriers"--

Curieusement, alors que le sujet semble presque banal, l'armée romaine et ses actions sont assez mal connues du public car peu d'expositions d'ampleur avec publications lui ont été consacrées. Qui commandait l'armée, comment était-elle organisée, quels étaient ses différents corps, ses équipements, quelle stratégie et quelle tactique déployait-elle, que faisaient les soldats en temps de paix, étaient-ils bien payés, combien de temps durait leur service, sont autant de questions que l'on peut légitimement se poser et auxquelles les essais et notices de cet ouvrage tentent de répondre. Il a semblé intéressant aussi de donner la parole à ceux, historiens professionnels et amateurs, qui essaient de comprendre la vie d'un soldat romain de l'intérieur, en portant un paquetage, en chaussant des brodequins militaires pour parcourir des dizaines de kilomètres ou en vérifiant par l'expérience la portée d'une arme de jet.
