Combat Loudspeakers: Weapon of the Battlefield Evangelists


The purpose of this work is to provide historical evidence that the innovative use of tactical loudspeakers has been, and will continue to be, a viable and an essential "weapon" in the arsenal of U.S. military forces. Although loudspeaker teams have been employed for all peacekeeping operations in the past 50 years,including Somalia, Haiti and Bosnia/Kosovo, the focus of this work is their use on the battlefield against an enemy soldier.

Public Hearing

This started as just a set of links distributed to classes over the past several years but has now expanded somewhat to include more sound art, radio, field recordings and other links related to the creative non musical use of sound. It is in no way complete, so please forward suggestions to pvonzweck [at] yahoo [dot] com
