005491-Operational Art; Lessons from Japan's Malaya Campaign and Capture of Singapore 41 Pages 1995 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT The Japanese Malaya campaign and capture of Singapore is a classic illustration of the mastery of Operational Art. On 8 December 1941 Japan launched the invasion of Thailand and Malaya with the intent of capturing Singapore. Nearly the entire world watched, shocked, as the considerably outnumbered Japanese forces advanced over 700 miles through the "impassible" Malayan jungles, capturing the "impregnable" Fortress Singapore in only 70 days. This paper attempts to evaluate the source of Japan's tremendous success by focusing the analysis on some elements of the Japanese concept of the operational Idea in Campaign Planning as well as their application of the Principles of War in the hope of developing lessons of value for future practitioners of the operational Art.

004871-The Japanese Campaign in Malaya-December 1941-February 1942 A Study in Joint Warfighting 25 Pages 2002 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT Defining joint warfighting as a multidimensional endeavor, the analytical framework, constructed from current joint doctrine, analyzes the Japanese campaign relative to the Fundamental Elements of Operational Art. This approach, like current doctrine, emphasizes the operational-level nature of joint warfighting, granting that effective joint warfighting implicitly demands adherence to these fundamental elements. The Japanese adhered to the fundamental elements, and the collective result was imbedded in the overarching joint warfighting characteristic: applied multidimensional force, a force that was manifested by the effective integration of Japanese air, land, and naval power. Campaign Background In December 1941 the Japanese began their war efforts to secure and dominate the entire Far East. It was the first phase of a three-phase strategy ultimately aimed at placing the Japanese in control of the Southern Regions, which included the resource-rich Netherlands East Indies. Their strategy was to simultaneously conduct multiple operations throughout the region in an effort to surprise and confuse the Allies as to their objectives. Once the Japanese objectives had been achieved, they would begin consolidating and strengthening them in an effort to create an impenetrable strategic defense intended to fend off the expected counterattack by Allied forces. The assumption was that the Allies, operating at the end of long supply lines and without any advanced bases, would be unable to sustain an effort against their defense, ultimately relenting to the Japanese, leaving them hegemony of the Far East under the guise of their "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".
