The purpose of this note is to point out some connexions between generalized Hadamard matrices (4, 5) and various tactical configurations such as group divisible designs (3), affine resolvable balanced incomplete block designs (1), and orthogonal arrays of strength two (2). Some constructions for these arrays are also indicated.

A balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) with parameters v, b, r, k, λ is an arrangement of v symbols called treatments into b subsets called blocks of k < v distinct treatments such that each treatment occurs in r blocks and any pair of treatments occurs in λ blocks.
