Menés par l'armée américaine dans le cadre [de] l'opération Plumbbob, ces tests visaient à déterminer comment des soldats réagiraient s'ils étaient exposés à de fortes radiations, en situation de combat. La peur prendrait-elle le dessus? Répondraient-ils toujours aux ordres? C'est ainsi que des milliers de soldats américains, mais aussi quelque 200 Canadiens, ont assisté à l'explosion d'une série de bombes nucléaires, et parfois à moins de deux kilomètres de l'épicentre. 1, record 1, French, - op%C3%A9ration%20Plumbbob

Chaque opération militaire porte un nom officiel. Dans les textes français du MDN [ministère de la Défense nationale] et des FC [Forces canadiennes], le mot «opération» s'écrit sans majuscule, sauf lorsqu'il est abrégé (Op), mais tous les mots importants du nom officiel de l'opération prennent la majuscule [initiale.] De plus, le nom officiel (et non le mot «opération») se met en italique. Les noms d'opérations ne se traduisent pas, y compris celles de pays étrangers. 3, record 1, French, - op%C3%A9ration%20Plumbbob
