Code Of American
Conduct

The battlefield OF modern war
fare is all inclusive. Today there
are no distant front lines, re-
mote no mans lands, far-ofi
rear areas. The home front Is
but an extension Of the f1ghtins
front. In the dreaded event OF
another About war--a thermo-
nuclear war--the doorstep may
become the Nations irst line OF
defense. Under such circum-
stances. the new code Of conduct
for the American serviceman
might well serve the American
citizen.
The Codes high standards will
serve as guides for Americans In
uniform. Backed by adequate
training and education. they viii
support the assurance Of armed
forces leaders that American
fighting men win be fully pre-
pared to meet the enemy on any
front.
The Korean story must never
be permitted to happen again.
