Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early history of the 'Airborne Effort' is, in effect, a compilation of facts and data relating the concepts, efforts, accomplishments and problems of a few individuals who envisioned the unlimited possibilities presented for the utilization of air transportation, to project into combat an offensive striking force which might well be capable of determining the outcome of battles. Organizing and training such troops in the United States Army did not receive serious consideration until after the Munich Conference in 1938. Following the successful employment of airborne troops by the Germans as outlined above, by War Department order dated 21 September 1940, the Commanding General of the 2d Division was directed to conduct such tests as were necessary to develop reference data and operational procedures for air-transported troops. On 25 June 1940, the War Department directed organization of a test platoon, under the Commandant of the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, personnel to be secured from the 29th Infantry Regiment. On January 30 1942, the War Department directed that four parachute regiments be constituted. Other sections of this unit history cover Activation and Mission; Expansion and Development (1942-1944); The Airborne Center; Personnel; Organization of the Airborne Division. Training of Airborne and Standard Ground Units; Test and Development of Equipment and Materiel.

This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1939, the U.S. Army had no formal combat formation capable of reaching the battlefield by air. In response to the success of German airborne operations, the U.S. Army formed a small unit of volunteers which was to experiment with airborne equipment and develop techniques. In the span of six years, the fledgling airborne concept expanded from a small platoon of parachute volunteers into five deployed airborne divisions composed of parachute and glider forces with a formal doctrine. This thesis examines the development of the airborne division through its employment in the Mediterranean and European Theaters of Operation, as these theaters employed four of the five U.S. airborne divisions during World War II. The doctrine, organization, and equipment of the airborne division changed significantly from its inception through the end of WWII. Personal influence, lessons learned from combat, and logistical limitations significantly affected the evolution of the airborne division.

Book excerpt: Beginning with a case study of the greatest airborne operation of the war, the 1944 invasion of Holland, Huston examines the inception, organization, training, equipment, strategies, Allied cooperation, and overall effectiveness of the airborne in the total war effort. Operations in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Southern France, the Pacific, and the Far East are discussed. No other book brings together as much information and documentation on the airborne.

Download or read book US Army Airborne 1940 90 written by Gordon L. Rottman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first 50 years of the US Army airborne arm is a story of continuing battles with the nation's enemies, of battles within the Army's hierarchy, of change, and of adaptation. If there is any single attribute the airborne soldier can claim as his most sterling, it is his uncanny ability to adapt – his flexibility. The very nature of a paratrooper demands this ability to adapt. The motivation and ésprit de corps it develops within these units is something not to be taken lightly. The first class pairing of Gordon L. Rottman and Ron Volstad bring to life the history of these remarkable troops.
