Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph searches for an answer to the question: 'What is the relationship between strategies and operational culminating points ' It begins by examining the theoretical position of Hans Delbruck and his dual strategies of annihilation and exhaustion. It then turns to Clausewitz and investigates the concept of culminating points. Finally, it develops a model of strategic combat power which is used to aid the reader in understanding the theoretical link between operational culminating points and the strategies of exhaustion and annihilation. This concludes the first part of the monograph. The second section of the monograph is a case study of the Yom Kippur War of 1973. This war is used to test the validity of our analysis concerning strategies and culminating points. Our theory not only is valid, but also demonstrates that a strategic planner must consider operational culminating points as an integral element to the success of any campaign. Not to understand the relationship of culminating points to the success of strategies will only end in disaster.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph searches for an answer to the question: Does the current division artillery have the capability to perform both its direct support and counterfire missions effectively within the demands of AirLand Battle Doctrine Historically the counterfire mission was accomplished by corps artillery. However, the increased frontage of a corps on the dispersed battlefield envisioned by the Active Defense Doctrine led to a change in counterfire doctrine. This was appropriate for the Active Defense Doctrine developed in 1973, but this paper will argue that the current AirLand Battle Doctrine imposes different demands. These demands require a new counterfire doctrine for corps and division artillery. This monograph searches for a means to reconcile the demands placed on division artillery by its direct support mission, its counterfire mission, and its limited artillery assets. A lessons-learned examination of counterfire from World War Two until the present is the starting point, highlighting those historically key elements which counterfire doctrine should address. Secondly, the monograph examines the missions of division artillery in the perspective of AirLand Battle Doctrine. Thirdly, we will compare American and Soviet artillery doctrine and weapon systems. This comparison seeks to understand the artillery employment on a European battlefield and to answer the question whether the current division artillery structure can accomplish its mission. Finally, the paper proposes a possible solution to reconciling the dilemma faced by the division artillery commander and his counterfire mission. This proposal will suggest a doctrinal change which once again places the counterfire mission primarily with the corps artillery commander. Along with this doctrinal change will be the formation of counterfire battalions consisting of target acquisitions assets and multiple launched rocket system batteries. These counterfire battalions will be located at corps artillery.
