Since
the time of the Civil War, NOAA ancestor agencies
have provided their expertise in support of our armed services.
The Armed Forces require maps, charts, weather forecasts, surveyors,
oceanographers, and navigators to plan operations, transport men
and materiel, and help put ordnance on target. The men and women
of NOAA’s ancestor agencies have provided much of that vital
information to the Armed Services, sometimes from the homefront
but oftentimes in the frontlines sharing the hardships and dangers
of America’s soldiers, sailors, and marines. The following
recall some of their experiences and sacrifices. |
