Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the formulation of doctrine since World War II. In no comparable period in history have the dimensions of the battlefield been so altered by rapid technological changes. The need for the tactical doctrines of the Army to remain correspondingly abreast of these changes is thus more pressing than ever before. Future conflicts are not likely to develop in the leisurely fashions of the past where tactical doctrines could be refined on the battlefield itself. It is, therefore, imperative that we apprehend future problems with as much accuracy as possible. One means of doing so is to pay particular attention to the business of how the Army's doctrine has developed historically, with a view to improving methods of future development.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Evolution of Infantry Tactics Yet the conditions of this particular struggle have been by no means those I had in my mind at the time of writing, and the defensive form might have Shown itself locally far more successful than it has done, without in the least invalidating my conclusions. I had before me the conditions at present prevailing in Western Europe, in regard to communications, facilities of transport, and the like, and my imaginary armies were actuated by the driving power of modern twentieth-century Continental civilisation, which compels both combatants to seek an early decision at any cost. From these conditions in the aggregate, there must result campaigns of the Napoleonic type, in which rapid manoeuvring decides the manner in which actual collision takes place, and the construction of defensive works after the fashion of the early half of the eighteenth century, of the American Civil War, and the Russo Turkish War is entirely precluded by want of time.

Download or read book A Historical Perspective on Light Infantry written by Scott Ray McMichael and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study seeks to clarify the nature of light infantry. General characteristics of light infantry forces are identified, and an analysis of how light forces operate tactically and how they are supported is presented. In the process, the relationship of the light infantry ethic to its organization is evaluated, and the differences between light infantry and conventional infantry is illuminated. For the purpose of this study, the term conventional infantry refers to modern-day motorized and mechanized infantry and to the large dismounted infantry forces typical of the standard infantry divisions of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The study concludes that light infantry is unique and distinct. A light infantry ethic exits and manifests itself in a distinctive tactical style, in a special attitude toward the environment, in a freedom from dependence on fixed lines of communication, and in a strong propensity for self-reliance. The study is based on a historical analysis of 4 light infantry forces employed during and since World War II: The Chindits, in the 1944 Burma campaign against the Japanese; The Chinese communist Forces during the Korean War; British operations in Malaya and Borneo 1948-66; and the First Special Service Force in the mountains of Italy 1942-44. -- p.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firearms technology dominates the modern day battlefield, but how did the earliest guns affect battles in the Middle Ages? From their earliest incarnations in the 14th Century – which were as much a danger to their operator as they were to the enemy – to the muskets and breech-loading rifles of the 19th century, Piers Platt traces the technological advancements that revolutionized weapons, and how infantry tactics were forced to evolve as new and more lethal weapons were developed.

This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fact that there has been significant evolution in infantry tactics during the past century is taken for granted. Also, it is well documented that the predominant advancements in tactics took place between 1914 and 1918, during World War One, rooted within the German army. However, the cause and effect that initiated this rapid evolution is somewhat unclear. Was this advancement solely due to the inspiration of one or more German commanders of the time? Was this advancement in tactics a Revolution in Military Affairs? Or, was this merely an evolution in tactics resulting from advancements in fire power due to technology improvements in infantry weapons such as the machine gun, infantry rifle, field artillery, etc. Prior to World War I the German army had studied and toyed with new tactics off and on. By 1914 they were still practicing traditional tactics against the Allies. The use of these tactics against the massive destructive capability of modern weapons available to both sides at the start of the war caused enormous numbers of casualties. The German army, in comparison to the Allies, was limited in numbers of soldiers and material and could not afford to continue to keep up with the high attrition rate. Necessity being the mother of invention, the Germans acted aggressively in finding a way to defeat the advanced firepower that emerged during the war. Through experimentation and training they developed the famous “Storm Troops” that momentarily broke the deadlock near the end of the war. After World War I these new tactics were taken up by other forces around the world and eventually led to German Blitzkrieg tactics of World War Two.

Download or read book Study of the Development of Infantry Tactics written by Colonel Beca and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Study of the Development of Infantry Tactics "In any garrison town on the Continent not a day passes but some pamphlet, book, or article is published on something military." The above sentence from the introduction of the translator of this brochure serves as food for reflection. Can it be said that in its proper proportion the same is the case in this country? On the contrary, it must be admitted that this is not so; this laxity may be attributed to the smallness of the regular forces and to the lack of intelligent interest in things military by the general public, and consequently the "no demand." But although the standing armies of the country are not numerically large, this cannot be said of the armed forces of the crown, which, including the territorial army and the various organized contingents of the oversea dominions amount to the respectable figure of, 700,000 excluding the regular and irregular native troops of India and elsewhere, and consequently it would be thought that there was room for a much more extended output of military writings. Be this as it may, it is a pleasure to welcome this most interesting and instructive study, containing as it does the essence of recent military thought and tracing the evolution of modern infantry tactics from their inception until to-day. In the first place, attention is directed to the "moral factor" so particularly emphasised in this study.
