Landing at Inchon
* September 15, 1950
* Communists had poured across the 38th parallel into South Korea in an attempt to take Seoul.
* 1950, General MacArthur devised a plan to cut the North Korean army off via Inchon, a strategic port with a nearby airport.
* Plan required mass intelligence and planning due to long approaches through shallow channels, poor beaches and a tidal range that restricted landing operations to a few hours a day.
* Plan succeeded, North Korean army was routed.

Bletchley Park
* Also known as Station X, is an estate located in the town of Bletchley, in Buckinghamshire, England.
* During World War II, Bletchley Park was the site of the United Kingdom's main decryption establishment, the Government Code and Cypher School.
* Ciphers and codes of several Axis countries were decrypted there, most importantly ciphers generated by the German Enigma and Lorenz machines.
* The high-level intelligence produced at Bletchley Park, codenamed Ultra, provided crucial assistance to the Allied war effort and is credited with having shortened the war by two years, so saving many lives.

Navajo Code Talkers
* The Navajo code talkers took part in every assault the U.S. Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. They served in all six Marine divisions, Marine Raider battalions and Marine parachute units, transmitting messages by telephone and radio in their native language (code) that the Japanese never broke.

State the name of the first computer and where it was located
* First electronic general-purpose computer.
* The first set of calculations were executed in November of 1945 at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering.
* Subsequent calculations continued up through the time of ENIAC's formal public introduction in February 1946.

Discuss ARPANET and when it was developed.
* Precursor to the modern Internet.
* Initial purpose was to communicate with and share computer resources among mainly scientific users at the connected institutions.
* Began as an “Intergalactic Computer Network”.
* Vision of J. C. R. Licklider.
* UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, UC Santa Barbara, and Utah.
* First 4 nodes chosen in 1969.

Name the two departments that were combined to form the ONI?
* Office of Intelligence
* Department Library
