Book excerpt: For the second time within 13 years the Marine Corps will disband one of its tank battalions. The liquidation of 3rd tank battalion in 1993 came shortly after the Corps' largest use of tanks since World War II. This year, the Marine Corps will eliminate a number of units, including the 8th Tank Battalion, to better suit the fight in the global war on terrorism. As determined by the Marine Corps force structure review board in 2004, two companies and the headquarters element of this battalion will disband and force the Marine tank community to shrink from four active and reserve battalions to three total battalions. This restructuring could not come at a more inappropriate time for the Marine Corps. The need for Marine tanks in all aspects of operations is underestimated. In May of 2003, Marine tanks -- including activated reserve units -- paved the way to Baghdad. Recently, Marine tanks played a pivotal role in operation Phantom Fury, the largest combat operation on urban terrain since Marines fought in the streets of Huy City, Vietnam. Although Marine armor is a key component of the Ground Combat Element, the tank community continues to shrink, thus eliminating capabilities vital to the MAGTF. Regardless of the battlefield environment, the Marine on the ground will always need the fire support provided by the tank's survivable platform. Whether on peacekeeping missions or in deliberate attacks, no substitute exists for the Marine tank.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this story of men, machines and missions, Kenneth Estes tells how the U.S. Marine Corps came to acquire the armored fighting vehicle and what it tried to do with it. The longtime Marine tank officer and noted military historian offers an insider's view of the Corps's acquisition and use of armored fighting vehicles over the course of several generations, a view that illustrates the characteristics of the Corps as a military institution and of the men who have guided its development. His book examines the planning, acquisition, and employment of tanks, amphibian tractors, and armored cars and explores the ideas that led to the fielding of these weapons systems along with the doctrines and tactics intended for them, and their actual use in combat. Drawing on archival resources previously untouched by researchers and interviews of both past and serving crewmen, Estes presents a unique and unheralded story that is filled with new information and analysis of the armored vehicles, their leaders, and the men who drove these steel chariots into battle. Such authoritative detail and documentation of the decisions to acquire, develop, and organize armored units in the U.S. Marine Corps assures the book's acknowledgement as a definitive reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is about winning in combat. Winning requires many things: excellence in techniques, an appreciation of the enemy, exemplary leadership, battlefield judgment, and focused combat power. Yet these factors by themselves do not ensure success in battle. Many armies, both winners and losers, have possessed many or all of these attributes. When we examine closely the differences between victor and vanquished, we draw one conclusion. Success went to the armies whose leaders, senior and junior, could best focus their efforts-their skills and their resources-toward a decisive end. Their success arose not merely from excellence in techniques, procedures, and material but from their leaders' abilities to uniquely and effectively combine them. Winning in combat depends upon tactical leaders who can think creatively and act decisively.
