We are able to project ahead and provide timely support when the need arises." According to Mr. Lavelle, assets bought to support CLSSA requirements are an integral part of the Department of Defense supply system and are not segregated into Australia's or Zaire's supplies. In addition, they are not accounted for separately from other Department of Defense stocks. "We all pay for and share in the stocks," said Brig. Gen. Stuart R. Boyd, International Logistics Center commander. That's why it's called (LOGNEWS) cooperative logistics." on-han- nt Missile egress system shows promise that can push an intercontinental ballistic missile through tons of debris after an attack so that the missile can be launched was tested successfully at a Nevada test site last month. The multi-stag- e actuatorsleeve ICBM egress system was tested by the Ballistic Missile Office, Norton AFB, Calif. During the test the egress system pushed a simulated ICBM canister through 15 feet of simulated k debris. The canister was then put in a position when gas actuators tipped off the canister's upper equipment module and A system post-attac- ready-to-launc- h closure. could be applied to any ICBM, officials said. Such an egress system could supplement ICBM superhardening technology, which the Air Force is studying as a means of reducing ICBM vulnerability. In April 1983, the president's commission on silo-base- d strategic forces (Scowcroft Commission) recommended that the United States examine several to technologies, including ICBM superhardening ' modernize U.S. strategic forces. Superhardened silos are designed to be many times harder than current ICBM silos. The egress system would allow the missile and its canister to debris, top off the push through tons of post-attacsilo closure, and launch from the elevated position. k Although the canister used in the test would fit the proposed small ICBM, the same technology -- d Professional Secretaries Week April 21-- 27 n up-fro- 00 DROP HITCH Military Civilian Re entry s SF-17- 1 4x4 Writing, typing, printing Free interview, counseling VAN Letters, brochures 25 years experience 300 offices nationwide PICKUPS MOTOR HOMES TOW BAR Professional Resume Service 394-413- 8 3480 Washington, 1 1 (AFNS) HITCH KING RESUME $9 & UP SI- .;, 5, 2 INTERMOUNTAIN 394-340- 5 I3776 Wall (SLC (Murray I 1:3 U8SS FREE!
