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.

Download or read book Deep Maneuver written by Jack D Kern Editor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 5, Deep Maneuver: Historical Case Studies of Maneuver in Large-Scale Combat Operations, presents eleven case studies from World War II through Operation Iraqi Freedom focusing on deep maneuver in terms of time, space and purpose. Deep operations require boldness and audacity, and yet carry an element of risk of overextension - especially in light of the independent factors of geography and weather that are ever-present. As a result, the case studies address not only successes, but also failure and shortfalls that result when conducting deep operations. The final two chapters address these considerations for future Deep Maneuver.

Download or read book The Other End of the Spear written by John J. Mcgrath and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at several troop categories based on primary function and analyzes the ratio between these categories to develop a general historical ratio. This ratio is called the Tooth-to-Tail Ratio. McGrath's study finds that this ratio, among types of deployed US forces, has steadily declined since World War II, just as the nature of warfare itself has changed. At the same time, the percentage of deployed forces devoted to logistics functions and to base and life support functions have increased, especially with the advent of the large-scale of use of civilian contractors. This work provides a unique analysis of the size and composition of military forces as found in historical patterns. Extensively illustrated with charts, diagrams, and tables.

S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given today's strategic environment and the demand put on the officer corps at every level, is the Army currently developing strategic leaders? The US Army doctrine and the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) provide a definition and list of competencies that outlines what a strategic leader should possess. With that definition and list of competencies, the researcher will examine three military leaders, showing linkage to doctrine, which will illustrate examples of this doctrinal definition. Once this is established the research will illustrate the evolution over the last 70 years of the Officer Personnel Management System, through laws passed by Congress that set policy for the Army to arrive at its current system. The research showed that the current Officer Personnel Management System prepares officers to be strategic leaders.

Broadening is a strategic goal of the current CSA. A broadening assignment for an officer is an assignment outside the traditional tactical assignments which must be completed before their promotion board.6 The current 20 year officer timeline pushes for tactical assignments and if time allows, an officer can have a broadening assignment. Because of the fixed timeline an officer must complete certain assignments before their promotion board to be considered for the next rank. Without completing the required 24 month key development time (tactical assignment prescribed in DA Pam 600-3 his or her branch, an officer would not be considered for the next rank. For example, a Major leaving the Command and General Staff College (CGSC) generally has five years before his or her Lieutenant Colonel board. The time constraint before this board can limit the opportunity for an officer to broaden themselves outside the normal tactical assignments. Majors must have successful evaluations in their key development (KD) jobs and others to be competitive to be promoted to the next rank.

This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with the post-Cold War downsizing during the Clinton administration in the late 1990s, one critical challenge for the U.S. Army centers on the qualitative, institutional character of the Army after the reductions-will it manifest the essential characteristics and behavior of a military profession with soldiers and civilians who see themselves sacrificially called to vocation and its service to country within a motivating professional culture that sustains a meritocratic ethic, or will the Army's character be more like any other government occupation in which its members view themselves as filing a job, motivated mostly by the extrinsic factors of pay, location, and work hours? In mid-2010, the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff directed the Commanding General, Training and Doctrine Command, then General Martin Dempsey, to undertake a broad campaign of learning, involving the entire Department. The intent was to think through just it means for the Army to be a profession...
