The 2012 US Army Anthropometric Survey (ANSUR II) was executed by the Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC) from October 2010 to April 2012 and is comprised of personnel representing the total US Army force to include the US Army Active Duty, Reserves, and National Guard. The data was made publicly available in 2017. In addition to the anthropometric and demographic data described below, the ANSUR II database also consists of 3D whole body, foot, and head scans of Soldier participants. These 3D data are not publicly available out of respect for the privacy of ANSUR II participants. The data from this survey are used for a wide range of equipment design, sizing, and tariffing applications within the military and has many potential commercial, industrial, and academic applications.These data have replaced ANSUR I as the most comprehensive publicly accessible dataset on body size and shape. The ANSUR II dataset includes 93 measurements from over 6,000 adult US military personnel, comprising 4,082 men (ANSUR_II_MALE_Public.csv) and 1,986 women (ANSUR_II_FEMALE_Public.csv).

The ANSUR II working databases contain 93 anthropometric measurements which were directly measured, and 15 demographic/administrative variables.

Much more information about the data collection methodology and content of the ANSUR II Working Databases may be found in the following Technical Reports, available from theDefense Technical Information Center (www.dtic.mil) through:

On August 31, 2015, U.S. Geological Survey Illinois Water Science Center staff deployed a 2000 kHz side-looking acoustic Doppler velocity meter (ADVM) in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CSSC) at the Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS). These data were collected as a fully loaded commercial barge tow traversed the EDBS and passed the ADVM three times, and as several smaller vessels and an unloaded barge tow passed the ADVM. The ADVM was mounted to a rigid 2-inch PVC pipe in compliance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operational safety protocols for working in or near the EDBS. The pipe with ADVM was lowered 4.5 feet below the water surface on the west (right) bank of the canal at a location approximately 477 feet upstream of the Romeo Road (135th Street) bridge (41.642050, -88.060383). The pipe was mounted to the walkway guard rail in a vertical orientation. An upstream and downstream guide line were used to provide additional tension to prevent movement or vibration on the PVC pipe. In this deployment configuration, the ADVM was profiling from the right wall of the canal out towards the center of the channel. ADVM data were viewed in real-time on a laptop computer during the deployment and logged simultaneously to the internal memory of the ADVM. The ADVM data were downloaded from the ADVM to a laptop computer while on site and reviewed briefly while in the field. Upon return to the USGS Illinois Water Science Center the ADVM data were downloaded from the field laptop and reviewed following standard USGS data quality assurance protocols.

Na het Koninklijk Instituut voor de Marine (KIM) in Den Helder te hebben doorlopen, begon deze Marine-officier aan zijn glansrijke carrière bij defensie. In het interview vertelt hij over drie heel verschillende militaire uitzendingen waaraan hij deelnam als officier: UNTSO in het Midden-Oosten, UNTAC in Cambodja en UNMIH in Haïti. Later in zijn carrière volgde hij het Command & Staff College van het US Marine Corps. In het interview vertelt hij over zijn visie op de (on)mogelijkheden van militaire interventies, maar natuurlijk ook over zijn eigen ervaringen en waarnemingen als uitgezonden militair. De collectie van het Interview-project Nederlandse Veteranen (IPNV) bestaat uit meer dan duizend biografische interviews, die gehouden zijn met veteranen van nagenoeg alle conflicten en militaire missies waar Nederland bij betrokken is geweest.Van soldaat tot generaal, van hospik tot para, van gevechten op Nederlandse bodem in de Mei-dagen van 1940 tot de slag bij Chora in Afghanistan, alles komt aan bod in deze gevarieerde collectie. De geïnterviewden hebben bijgedragen aan een schat aan informatie voor onder andere beleidsmakers, onderzoekers, media en het geïnteresseerde publiek.Onderstaand treft u de links naar de metadata van alle interviews. De interviews zijn om privacyredenen alleen na toestemming van het Veternanen Instituut toegankelijk. Deze toestemming kunt u aanvragen per dataset via tabblad 'Permission".In het kader van het project Living Oral History Workbench, zijn een aantal interviews via automatische spraakherkenning geïndexeerd zodat ze doorzoekbaar zijn.
