1996 DOE/Army emergency manual — 'high technology devices'
US Department of Energy · 1996
Unclassified doctrine (as posted)
Request
Hume asked a DOE officer for the definition of 'high technology device' in emergency-response doctrine. No reply to the definition question.
Outcome
Manual assigns US Army and DOE to respond to high-technology devices. Hume maps this onto NEST + 52nd EOD / 28th EOD Airborne and treats UFOs as broken-arrow problems.
The doctrinal document behind Hume's crash-retrieval-as-nuclear-emergency thesis.
