Binding is tight and square. xvi, 242 pages : illustrations, maps, photographs ; 25 cm. . . . . . . . . Learning under Fire: The 112th Cavalry Regiment in World War II by James S. Powell is a scholarly, narrative history of how this Texas National Guard cavalry regiment adapted under intense combat conditions in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The study uses official records, after?action reports, and veterans? recollections to show how a traditional mounted unit transformed itself into an effective dismounted, amphibious, and jungle infantry force while in action. Powell traces the 112th Cavalry Regiment from prewar mobilization and training through deployments to the Southwest Pacific, including Woodlark Island, Arawe, and the Aitape?Wewak area, and on to later campaigns. Along the way he highlights the regiment?s ?learning under fire?: the process by which officers and enlisted men recognized tactical and organizational shortcomings, adjusted their doctrine and leadership practices, and refined small?unit tactics against Japanese forces in extremely difficult terrain and climate. The book thus serves both as a detailed unit history and as a case study in battlefield adaptation and combat learning.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph explores the subject of organizational learning with a particular emphasis on how military units learn in combat. The challenges of today's joint operating environment require groups of soldiers to adapt responsively to a wide array of difficult and sometimes unfamiliar tasks. These efforts to improve unit performance often occur in the middle of an operation and thus involve a quick adjustment of behavior under taxing circumstances. Some scholars promote the concept of 'learning organizations' and suggest that, because of the special qualities they possess, such entities have the ability to learn and succeed in situations where others fall short. This is an attractive notion for leaders seeking transformation for their organizations, but it is not free from ambiguity. What accounts for episodes of failure in organizations that seem to learn regularly on other occasions This study argues that the process of learning demands a deeper explanation, especially when it takes place in the complex environment of combat. Focused on a topic of chief importance to military leaders, this monograph examines organizational learning through a case study that considers one unit over the course of a six-month operation. In combat with the Japanese on the Philippine island of Luzon from February to July 1945, the soldiers of the 112th Cavalry Regiment faced a resourceful enemy whose resistance challenged them across a broad spectrum of conditions. How did the unit learn in these circumstances, and what factors facilitated the process When elements of the regiment failed to learn, what accounted for that failure Throughout the 112th's performance on Luzon, evidence of adaptation is not difficult to find. Harder to discern are the details behind how its officers and men arrived at those improvements. By mining a rich collection of primary sources - including daily unit journals, after action reports, diaries, memoirs, and interviews - this study sheds light on the p.
