Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The recent interest in the operational level of war in American military circles has awakened a long dormant appreciation of the art of planning and conducting campaigns. Unfortunately, there has not been a thorough study of leadership at this level of command. The Army's Senior Leadership manual falls short of adequately discussing operational command. It does not address, for example, the differences between peacetime and combat command or the changing leadership requirements at higher levels of command. These are critically important topics as we prepare to fight the next war. We must be able to identify the right man to execute the first campaign of that war. Historically we have been able to do little more than guess at whom what might be. This paper is intended to be a first step toward rectifying that shortfall. It defines the attributes of the operational commander. In order to identify those attributes, this monograph begins with a review of theoretical comments on generalship from early philosophers through the 20th century. Next, modern views on the traits of senior warfighting generals are presented by examining the comments of German, Russian, British and American writers since the beginning of the World War II. These sections yield a taxonomy of the attributes of the operational commander. The paper then verifies these qualities by reviewing the performance of three senior American commanders of the Second World War. Lieutenant General James Doolittle, Admiral William Halsey and General George Patton are the subjects of this analysis which is intended to show that operational command is not limited to ground operations. The monograph concludes that the traits of the operational commander are not those of the tactical leader. Furthermore, the qualities that characterize the warfighting general are not the same as those of the successful peacetime commander. Finally, the realities of the situation and the general's personality may mean that the best ope. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - There has recently been much discussion in western military journals concerning the use of light infantry forces in Central Europe. Many authors have indicated that defense of restricted terrain and urban areas are the most suitable missions for Light Infantry Divisions in that theater. This monograph argues that those missions are not appropriate. In a high intensity conflict, light infantry units must be employed offensively in accordance with a tactical style more suited to their training and organization. This paper initially describes the tactical style of light infantry forces in general. It then focuses on the Army's Light Infantry Divisions and examines how and why they have adopted that method of fighting. A critical study then details the use and misuse of light forces since the beginning of World War II. Lessons from that analysis are used to develop a concept for the employment of light infantry in Central Europe. The primary conclusion of this monograph is that our Light Infantry Divisions must operate in Europe in the same way that they intend to fight in a low intensity conflict. That is, they must be offensively oriented and fight in an unconventional style that focuses on disrupting rather than destroying the enemy. Our doctrine must reflect that light infantry forces operate in this manner. A secondary conclusion concerns our lack of infantry in Europe. Since defensive missions in high intensity warfare require conventional dismounted infantry, the Army should bring more regular infantry divisions back into the force structure.…
