Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This monograph examines the evolution and practice of operational art. The campaign for the reconquest of Burma in 1943-1945 as conducted by LTG William J. Slim while in command of Fourteenth Army is analyzed. The intent of the monograph is to evaluate theory in light of historical evidence, with operational art as the focus. The analysis reveals the importance of establishing a clear operational aim and of balancing the aim with means, ways, and risk. The Burma campaign is analyzed to answer two questions: what does the campaign suggest about the evolution of the operational art and what does it suggest about the relationship between the theory and practice of operational art The two major operations of Fourteenth Army's campaign are described and analyzed. Slim set the aim of Fourteenth Army in both the Imphal-Kohima and Irrawaddy operations as the destruction of the main enemy force. To attain this aim Slim stretched his means to the limit, employed sound yet innovative ways, and accepted necessary risk. The analysis includes a discussion of Slim's application of certain theoretical aspects of operational art. These include center of gravity; decisive and objective points; interrelation of offense and defense; decisive battle; use of maneuver to create a force superiority; and strategic, operational, and tactical activities. The conclusion on evolutionary aspects shows how airpower was fully exploited and integrated into an overall campaign plan. Airpower was used for massive resupply and reinforcement, reconnaissance, close support of maneuver forces, and interdiction of supply lines. Concerning the practice of operational art, orientation on the main enemy force is shown to be central. Also, successful operational art entails taking limited means and stretching them with sound operational methods. In this, logistics and operations are inseparable. Furthermore, a keen sense of the differences and interrelationship of strategic, operational, and tactical activi.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This monograph examines the importance of a commander's ability to sense the terrain. The discussion relates this ability to the commander's ability to act faster than the enemy. This agility is critical to tactical success. As agility is one of the four tenets of the U. S. Army's fighting doctrine it is important that the Army determine means to improve tactical agility. Developing a sense of locality is one way to promote tactical agility. This monograph examines the relationship between these two concepts and shows that a sense of locality is essential for tactical agility. The discussion begins with consideration of the theoretical and doctrinal aspects of terrain, a sense of locality, tactics, and agility. It includes an examination of the elements of a sense of locality, a definition of tactical agility, and an analysis of the relationship between a sense of locality and tactical agility. To illustrate this relationship two historical battles are briefly described and examined. The first illustration is of Major General Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson at the Battle of Winchester during his Shenandoah Valley Campaign in the Spring of 1862. The second is of Major General Norman D. Cota at the Battle of Schmidt in November, 1944. The discussion draws conclusions as to the commanders'; exhibited senses of locality and tactical agility. Additionally, the discussion and illustrations provide valuable lessons on means or developing a sense or locality and promoting tactical agility. Finally, the discussion presents suggestions for today's commander on how to apply the noted lessons. The lessons reinforce the need for a thorough study of available information on the terrain and force capabilities, for personal reconnaissance, and for reflection prior to battle on use of the terrain during battle. Additionally, suggestions for training are presented; and the study suggests that commanders view the terrain in terms of its offensive and defensive potential--as a weapon av.…
