Description:Includes nine maps and one photo illustration Following World War II, the War Department Historical Division in 1946 published Small Unit Actions, the study of some discrete battles drawn from three different theaters of war. While the educational motive was present to some degree, the primary purpose of this volume was to explain to all, public and Soldiers alike, what the recent war looked like at battalion level and below. In 1954, following the Korean War, the Office of the Chief of Military History, United States Army, published Combat Actions in Korea. Consisting of descriptions of 19 small-unit actions, this substantial volume found its primary justification as an educational tool for those who had not experienced the events described. Fully annotated, each chapter consisted of a colorful narrative followed by an analytical discussion of salient points. Nearly 20 years later, toward the end of American combat in Vietnam, the Office of the Chief of Military History again essayed to address small-unit actions with the publication of Seven Firefights in Vietnam. This work aspired only to provide straightforward narratives that were representative of the types of combat American soldiers had encountered in that conflict. Based on primary sources, but without annotation in the published version, the chapters were also devoid of overt analysis, which was left to the reader. In tandem with official products, journalist-turned US Army combat historian S.L.A. Marshall began producing a series of commercial publications presenting small-unit case studies starting with World War II and continuing through the Korean War, the 1956 Arab-Israeli conflicts, and Vietnam. Marshall developed a group interview technique that attempted to produce an accurate narrative account of complicated small-unit actions. His methodology and interpretation of events have been criticized in recent years, but his influence on the US Army cannot be disputed. Current military history detachments often conduct group interviews based on the guidelines Marshall established. In terms of case-study methodology, his works present a parallel progression in the development of the military case study and were and are widely read by military professionals. The present volume lies directly within the tradition of these predecessor works on small-unit actions. Since the fall of 2001, the United States Army, along with the other American armed services, has been engaged in military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Because the current conflict has so many different fronts and facets, no handful of small-unit case studies could do justice to such a complex tapestry of events. This book thus represents a volume that showcases the American soldier in combat operations within the context of the Global War on Terrorism/The Long War. This series of five case studies is drawn from events in Iraq. Four of the studies discuss combat operations within a counterinsurgency framework at the company and battalion levels. The final case study presents a deployment dilemma facing a brigade-level task force commander when he was asked to replace a whole division in the same geographical space. In each case, the story is derived from oral interviews and key documents and is fully annotated. The primary purpose for presenting these vignettes is to provide a vicarious education in what future participants will face as the War on Terrorism continues and beyond.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
