Abstract: Two M-46 and eight M-26 medium tanks were exposed to E-shot in
Operation Greenhouse. These vehicles were located at ranges of 500,
750, 1000, 1233, and 1400 yd from ground zero, with various
orientations relative to the burst point. The effects on crew members
are considerably more serious than those on the vehicle itself. Within
those vehicles rendered unfit

for combat by violent displacement,

complete crew casualty is immediate. At greater ranges from ground
zero, lethal radiation dosages are incurred by the crew when the medium
tank suffers no impairment of combat effectiveness. The effects of
blast pressures within the crew compartment are of little consequence.
Briefly the results may be given as follows: (1) Combat effectiveness
of vehicle alone: 0%, 0 to 500 yd; 0 to 100%, 500 to 1000 yd; 100% at
distances greater than 1000 yd; (2) Immediate combat effectiveness of
crew: 0%, 0 to 900 yd; 0 to 100%, 900 to 1100 yd; 100% at distances

greater than 1100 yd; and (3) Delayed combat effectiveness of crew
(periods greater than 24 hr): 0%, 0 to 1200 yd; 0 to 100%, 1200 to 1600
yd; 100% at distances greater than 1600 yd.;
