Operation Desert Rock Nuclear testing 1950s

Desert Rock was the code name of a series of exercises conducted by the US military in conjunction with atmospheric nuclear tests. They were carried out at the Nevada Proving Grounds between 1951 and 1957.

Their purpose was to train troops and gain knowledge of military maneuvers and operations on the nuclear battlefield. They included observer programs, tactical maneuvers, and damage effects tests.

Those marines were from third division at close range. After the blast, they followed it with offensive operation. Interesting fact, they were Chesty's marines.

Something tells me operations directed around surviving tactical nuclear weapons are coming soon to a battlefield near you! History doesn't repeat itself but it sometimes rhymes.
