0.0 GENERAL COMMENT: There is very little of substance in
this pub. Recommend all but the essential material dealing
with nuclear operations be removed.
There is repeated reference to how critical it is that nuclear
and conventional forces be integrated, but there is no
explanation of how to do this.

reader do a double-take to ensure
that the publication being read
actually is JP 3-12 and not some
other. Also, the change in lines
16, 17 is counterproductive.
