Book excerpt: As a documentary history, this volume illustrates the evolution of civil affairs policy and practice in the Mediterranean and European Theaters of Operations during World War II. It deal s with U.S. Army and Anglo-American planning and operations in the sphere of relations with civilians in certain liberated and conquered countries in Europe during the war, prior to the invasion of Germany. Although the Army had not considered civil affairs preparation essential prior to World War II, during the war it created the Civil Affairs Division at the War Department level to coordinate all civil affairs planning and training. For the first time, extensive recruiting and training programs were organized, and G-5 (civil affairs and military government) staff sections were added at the theater army, corps, and division levels. Not only did soldiers become the administrators of civilian life for the Army's immediate needs, they also became the executors, and sometimes the proposers, of national and international political policy. This broader role was the result of the inability of the Allies to agree on specific political aims until after active hostilities were over, if then. In this policy void, U.S. and British military authorities were often responsible for the gradual transition to a postwar national and international order with only general guidelines from higher authorities. The materials presented in Part I, concerned with the preparatory and organizational stage, suggest that the President's decision to entrust the civil affairs responsibility to the Army was because civilian authorities were unready to undertake the mission. Documents in Part II show the difficulties of fitting civilianinstitutions into the context of battle and a military framework, thus indicating additional rationale for leaving military authorities in exclusive control. Part III reveals that, despite this experience, Allied authorities planning for the liberated countries of northwest Europe still proposed to delegate civil affairs to indigenous civilian authorities, insofar as was possible. Operations are dealt with in Part IV, which show that conditions during and immediately following hostilities made it necessary for the Allies to render these authorities substantial assistance in the area of civil affairs. The compilation of documents appear to make it clear that the issue of military-versus-civilian administration was far less important than the issue of military values versus civil-political values, and it was in the latter area that the most serious difficulties arose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seminal book, Dr. Raymond Millen examines America's approach to the implementation of Civil Affairs and Military Government in the Mediterranean and European theaters during World War II. Starting from scratch, the Provost Marshal General's Office published the doctrine, created the organizations, trained the personnel, and managed the program, which culminated with the occupation of Germany. While the War Department held no illusions regarding the complexity of the mission, enormous challenges confronted Civil Affairs soldiers as the conflict unfolded. Each campaign-northwest Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, the Benelux, and Germany-presented unique and wicked problems which defied easy solutions. Whether working in devastated towns or cities, austere areas, or chaotic environments, Civil Affairs soldiers were instrumental in stabilizing rear areas. In the midst of political, economic, and even societal collapse, Civil Affairs teams restored governance, local economies, and order. Because of their professional backgrounds, competency, and solid judgement, Civil Affairs soldiers set the conditions for military success. Due to the efforts of Civil Affairs, General Dwight D. Eisenhower was able to maximize combat power against the Axis forces, precluding the need to divert combat units for garrison duties and securing the lines of communication. Without these unsung heroes, Victory in Europe would have been more costly and extended by months.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.Bury the Dead, Feed the Living is more than a history on Civil Affairs; rather, it is a detailed account of how the United States conducted Stability Operations from the shores of Morocco to the mountains of Germany. Dr. Raymond Millen's book serves as a primer on preparing, organizing and implementing Stability in the course of a conflict. Current doctrine has a litany of new terms for military occupation, Military Government, and security of rear areas, but for the Soldiers implementing stabilization-related activities, only the terminology has changed, not the tasks.Of interest is the degree of friction between the Roosevelt administration and the War Department regarding the responsibility for the civil administration of occupied territories during World War II. Although the War Department and Supreme Allied Commander, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, were perfectly willing to have U.S. civilian agencies conduct civil administration of occupied areas, the agencies proved incapable, so the military assumed de facto responsibility. Further, one of the great insights from the war is that the military must be prepared to execute a host of tasks with no or contradictory policy guidance. When thousands of civilians are dying, the military must step forward. As Dr. Millen reveals, small teams of Civil Affairs specialists had an enormous, but little noted, impact on the lives of millions of Europeans. Virtually every situation imaginable was encountered by Civil Affairs officers and teams. Thousands of villages and cities were utterly devastated, with the authorities and populations prostrated with shock.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mitigating the destruction and chaos wrought upon the civilian populations of northwest Europe during the latter years of the Second World War became the focus of Civil Affairs, a little-known branch of the First Canadian Army. Comprising a motley collection of civilians-turned-soldiers – too old for combat yet too valuable to remain off the front lines – the members of Civil Affairs served as liaisons between Canadian combat forces and the civilians they encountered on the ground. Civilians at the Sharp Endfollows the story of the Civil Affairs branch through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany in 1944-45. David Borys highlights how Civil Affairs helped civilians caught in the jaws of war by delivering food and medicine, providing shelter for refugees and displaced persons, establishing law and order, dealing with resistance groups, and aiding in the reconstruction of infrastructure in damaged urban areas. Once in Germany the branch was further challenged as it transformed into a military government and became a force of occupation, rehabilitating a war-torn Germany and purging the state of its Nazi leadership, while at times having to protect German civilians from the recently liberated prisoners of the Nazi state. Borys demonstrates that while the Canadian Army was indeed concerned for the welfare of civilians, military operations took priority over civilian needs. Civil Affairs was forced to negotiate this complex terrain, assisting civilian populations while ensuring that they never impeded the work of the Canadian military and the ultimate defeat of Nazi Germany.
