Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph investigates the artillery organization of the heavy division to determine whether the current direct support artillery battalion should become organic to the maneuver brigade. The nature of the current battlefield as expressed in FM 100-5 may require a change from our traditiona1 methods of providing field artillery support to the maneuver brigade. Initially this paper develops the requirements for adequate, flexible and continuous field artillery support for both the maneuver brigade and the division. Insights are obtained through the analysis of the United States experience during WWII, the Soviet use of forward detachments during WWII and the Israeli experiences during the 1973 War. Each historical example is evaluated in terms of the artillery organization's ability to provide adequate, flexible and continuous field artillery fires in support of the maneuver force. This study concludes that the current field artillery organization of the heavy division provides adequate, flexible and continuous fires in support of both the maneuver brigade and the division. This conclusion is based on the assumption that current doctrine continues to identify the division as the lowest tactical unit of maneuver. However, if doctrine establishes the brigade as the lowest tactical unit of maneuver, then the artillery must become organic at that level.This 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 - This paper examines the implications for planning and conducting operations in a secondary theater of war that has a passive aim. After developing a framework for analysis, this paper investigates the British (June 1940 - February 1941) and the German (February 1941 - March 1942) campaigns in North Africa. The two campaigns are of particular interest to today's commander who has a primary focus on Europe while trying to plan for a Southwest Asian scenario. This paper concludes that the requirements (to determine what military conditions must be produced to achieve the strategic aim, to sequence actions to achieve that military condition and to apply the allocated resources to accomplish those actions) do not change with the assignment of a passive aim. However, the operational commander assigned a passive aim in a secondary theater of war may determine that it is not required nor desirable to concentrate superior combat power in an attempt to destroy the enemy's center-of-gravity. This paper suggest that it may be possible to simply neutralize an enemy capability thus protecting ones own center-of-gravity. Additionally, the commander in a secondary theater of war must understand his role in the overall context of the war. This understanding will allow him to design a campaign that will not only accomplish the passive aim but also complement the actions in the primary theater of war.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
