Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph discusses considerations that a tactical commander should make in determining his position during an engagement, and from these considerations suggests criteria that should guide his decision. The tactical commander is a significant combat multiplier, by virtue of his rank and experience, and his placement on the battlefield deserves the same care that is given to the overall task organization. The commander's position is a significant element in the command and control scheme. It affects his ability to know what is going on and influence the combat action in accordance with his will. The monograph first examines a series of historical examples from World Wars I and II, in which the tactical commander's position figured prominently in the outcome of the battle. From these examples, a number of considerations for selection of the tactical commander's position are derived. Then it examines the principal differences between historical and contemporary combat environments and what these differences suggest for the contemporary tactical commander in choosing his position on the battlefield. Next, it examines a series of contemporary combat and training examples, to refine or confirm previously determined considerations. As part of the conclusion, the paper offers a synthesis between criteria suggested by both historical and contemporary examples. Given a consistent set of considerations for the tactical commander's position selection, the paper examines implications that the conclusion has for current doctrine, equipment design, and training. With a ''go to war with what we've got' view, the paper suggests several areas of training in which a greater awareness of the importance of position selection might readily be implemented.12/20/1986This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Historically, the army that concentrates adequate deception effort against specific enemy vulnerabilities to deception has usually been successful in this operation. The army that neglects its potential for vulnerability to deception is often not successful, when an opponent chooses to exploit that vulnerability. The United States Army has recently renewed its interest in deception as a proactive means of gaining surprise. More recently, the issue of deception at the operational level has received attention. The Soviet Union on the other hand has steadily maintained and increased an emphasis in this area since World War Two. Applying this historical condition to the apparent imbalance in developed deception doctrine, the operational planner becomes concerned, if not alarmed, at the potential for U.S. vulnerability to deception at the operational level. This study reviews historical examples of vulnerability to deception. It examines the Soviet concept of deception, or maskirovka, and the corresponding U.S. progress in developing organizations and doctrine for deception. And filtered through the screen of modern warfare conditions, historical vulnerabilities are compared to U.S. conditions to determine current applicability of those vulnerabilities. From this examination the study derives potential U.S. vulnerabilities to deception at the operational level. Having proposed these vulnerabilities it examines implications for training, doctrine, and planning of current operations.…
