Albuquerque: U.S. Army Test & Evaluation Command, 1982. Soft cover. Very Good. A softcover oblong 4to, very thick (unpaginated); vg (edges of covers toning; small tear to spine head). Apparently intended to accompany a slide or video presentation, this book was designed on a computer, and is illustrated with many clip-art graphics, maps, charts, etc. The first page states: "Purpose/To Inform Industry of TECOM Planned Technical and Base Support Contractual Requirements". I think this translates into English as a wish list for subsidies, or perhaps a demands list. There are large sections of pages with estimated costs of proposed programs and equipment improvements. All in all a very interesting document as a guide to military thinking.
