Thomas Gambale has my expressed permission to upload this package in its entirety, including this document, to any freeware web site he choses for the purposes of supporting the US Army Virtual VA. It must still remain freeware and no part of this package may be used for any commercial purpose. This is my gift to the US Army Virtual; good luck, guys, from a Jarhead (75-79, MCAS Cherry Point SAR Swimmer, CH-46A Pedro).
Scenery files created using Groundmaker by Vincent Koch.
My macros made using EOD v2 by Matthias Bruckner. If you want one of them ask.
Tested in MSFS2002 only with terrain mesh (http://www.simviation.com/fsdterrainusa1.htm if you need mesh).

Discaimer and Credits:
This is freeware in every sense of the word.
The a few of the textures are mine and they, like all the others, may not be used for any commercial purpose. Except for the Madigan AMC and the barracks buildings, crates, signs, and a few other small pieces the macros aren't mine either. If you need to know whose they are contact me and I'll provide the information. Otherwise don't use them for any purpose, each author's requirements are different.
