Chuck,
Thanks the FAS reference is excellent.
Dick
is my understanding of the reference correct?
That the NEMP risk in a standard/tactical strike against ground targets is
line of sight (not including "long wire line"), but the actual "high" risk
for NEMP is from high altitude devices built for the purpose?
Also, does this mean that the "ground" effect described could cause damage
thru a grounding rod?

Here is a good reference on EMP:
http://www.fas.org/nuke/intro/nuke/emp.htm
In general, the FAS site is an excellent reference for anything military.
They have pages for almost all current US equipment and weapons
(land-sea-air), plus strategy and tactics, organization, arms control etc.
For example, here is their page on the HMMWV that includes discussion of all
the models, line drawings, photos:
