...poised to ride out the explosion in the most exposed surface position to date: in Patton tanks, spread 50 yds. apart, some 3,100 yds. from ground zero, and in new M59 armored personnel carriers 3,900 yds. from ground zero. Just as soon as monitor teams reported a safe level of radiation, the armored column would roll forward to exploit the atomic attack, ready to pin down whatever remnants of enemy power were left...

Despite this, certain companies had unwisely started to ship out some vaccine-200,000 shots in all-for commercial distribution as soon as it was approved as safe. Now, finding that the foundation was going to be short, the companies decided to ship no more on their own account until their quotas for the foundation are filled...
