Armory ( military ) An armory ( US spelling ) or armoury is a place where arms and ammunition are made , maintained and repaired , stored , issued to authorized users , or any combination of those . Over the centuries , this has included every variant of such a place , whether privately or publicly owned ( with the latter in older royal and modern state - owned versions ) . Armories and arsenal s are both places where arms or ammunition may be made , maintained and repaired , stored , or issued . The usage differences between the names is mainly a matter of historical linguistic development . It is a common principle in natural language that synonym s have subtle connotative boundaries ( albeit ones that may be somewhat permeable over time and distance ) . Today an armory is typically a military depot used for the storage of weapon s and ammunition . The term may also apply to an area within a building used for the storage of weapons . In a typical armory , ammunition is stored separately from weapons ( both under lock and key ) to minimize the potential for misuse , theft , and safety breaches . Very sensitive alarm systems are also extensively used . Sub - armory is a term for a temporary storage of weapons and ammunition . A sub - armory could be operational with an officer on duty or un - operational with officers utilizing the area as duty dictates . A sub - armory could also be any temporary Post where an officer might be armed and on duty but could also be relieved of that duty and of their weapons and ammunition ( example : A Surveillance Tower or patrol vehicle which is only operational certain times of the day . The first officer of the day attains the weapons and ammunition , taking these items to the Post , and then officers relieve each other until the last officer of the day returns these items to the armory ) .

Four - Power Authorities Following the defeat of Nazi Germany and then the partition of German territory , two Four - Power Authorities , in which the four main victor nations ( The United States , the United Kingdom , the Soviet Union and France ) managed equally , were created . The intended governing body of Germany until it could run itself was called the Allied Control Council . The commanders - in - chief exercised supreme authority in their respective zones and acted in concert on questions affecting the whole country . The capital Berlin , which lay in the Soviet sector , was also divided into four sectors . Only two jointly - run four - power organizations survived the division of Germany . Both were in West Berlin , Germany , and existed during the Cold War from 1948 to 1989 . These were the Berlin Air Safety Center and Spandau Prison ( which was demolished in 1987 when Rudolf Hess , the sole remaining prisoner , died ) . Status . These two organizations were uniquely four - powered in that American , British , French , and Soviet authorities cooperated in their management .

Both organizations remained low - profile and secretive during their existences to avoid highlighting the politically sensitive nature of their interactions and cooperations .

TOG1 The Tank , Heavy , TOG 1 was a prototype British heavy tank produced in the early part of the Second World War in the expectation that battlefields might end up like those of the First World War and was designed so it could cross churned - up countryside and trenches . A single prototype was built but interest faded with the successful performance of another cross country design , the Churchill tank , and the mobile war that was being fought . History . In July 1939 the Special Vehicle Development Committee was drawn up for future tank designs suitable for Great War conditions under Sir Albert Stern ; who had been on the original Landships Committee and head of the Tank Supply Depot during World War I . The committee included others who had been instrumental in the development of the tank during the Great War : former Director of Naval Construction , Sir Eustace Tennyson d ' Eyncourt , General Ernest Swinton , engine designer Harry Ricardo , the gearbox and transmission expert Major Walter Gordon Wilson . Unsurprisingly they got the nickname " The Old Gang " and the initials TOG were applied to their designs . Together they proposed the development of a " heavy tank " design , which they entrusted to another of the first tank ' s developers and builders of the first tank , Sir William Tritton of Foster ' s of Lincoln . Their specification was comprehensive . As well as being able to operate across ground broken up by shelling and waterlogged , it was expected to resist 47 - mm anti - tank guns and 105 - mm field guns or howitzers at . Main armament would be a field gun mounted in the front - effective against thick reinforced concrete - and two 2 - pounder guns , the latter in sponsons . For use against infantry there would be a machine gun firing forward , one in each sponson , and one firing to the rear . To provide cover four 2 - inch smoke mortars were included . Design work by Fosters began in February 1940 . Designed with trench crossing abilities to the fore and the capability to carry infantry as well , the design as built was a large hull with side doors supported on broad tracks , with a small Matilda II turret on top . It was realised that the track drive running over the hull was not necessary and work began on a follow - up design in June 1940 . The prototype TOG I was delivered in October 1940 . After problems with the electro - mechanical drive , it was converted to hydraulic drive designed by Fluidrive Engineering , a process that took until May 1943 after which it was called TOG 1A . The prototype was sent to Chobham and then seems to have disappeared into history .

Fire for effect Fire for effect is a military term . According to NATO doctrine : According to United States Department of Defense : The game " Squad Leader " gives a very good demonstration of the difference between spotting rounds , harassing fire and fire for effect . First the Forward Observer ( FO ) establishes contact with the artillery unit . Then a spotting round is called for . Spotting rounds are then " walked " on to the target . When the spotting round is either on the target or the necessary adjustment is small enough to be within allowable limits , the FO calls for a fire mission , often with the phrase , " Fire for effect . " If the first fire mission does not reduce the position or change the tactical situation sufficiently , other fire missions may be called for .
