This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the Mexican War for evidence of modern operational art and answers the question: Does the Mexican War of 1846-1848 hold a unique place in the evolution of modern operational art and, if so, where? The Mexican War represents a distinctly different phase in the evolution of warfare. It was a transitional conflict from the Napoleonic Wars of 1805-1815 to the U.S. Civil War of 1861-1865 and was influenced by the nation's westward expansion and manifest destiny, natural ocean barriers to any serious threat to the nation, and the timing of the Industrial Revolution. The book compares and contrasts those characteristics of modem warfare from the Napoleonic Wars identified in Robert M. Epstein's "Eagles Triumphant: 1809 and the Emergence of Nineteenth-Century Warfare" and the elements of the structure of operational art identified in James J. Schneider's "Vulcan's Anvil: The American Civil War and the Emergence of Operational Art." This process led to the finding that, while operational art in its fullest expression was not practiced during the Mexican War, many of the characteristics from both the Napoleonic War and the Civil War were present.

Download or read book Winfield Scott s Mexico City Operation written by U S Army Command and General Staff Coll and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the beginning of the American version of operational art. Winfield Scott's participation in the Mexican War is analyzed to determine whether his activity constitutes the genesis of American operational art. The Mexican War has many of the characteristic features of operational art: joint operations, distinct lines of operation, multiple field armies, operational intelligence, deep strikes, acceptance of risk, and distributed operations. The Mexican War is assessed using the definitions of operational art in FM 100-5 and emerging operational art in Professor James Schneider's article. "The Loose Marble--and the Origins of Operational Art." The war is analyzed on two levels: the overall planning and execution and the specifics of Scott's Mexico City Operation. Schneider's eleven characteristics of emerging operational art are the theoretical bases of this analysis. The American Civil War is briefly considered for the part that Winfield Scott actively played in planning the War. The careers of Generals Grant and Lee are surveyed for the Influence of Winfield Scott. Similarities to the Mexican War are discovered. The sophisticated activities in the Mexican War are shown to be the precursors of similar activities in the Civil War. As a result of this analysis, it is possible to conclude that the Mexican War has elements of emerging operational art and is the genesis of American operational art. Technological limitations at the time of the largely forgotten Mexican War prevent the War from being as complete an example of emerging operational art as the American Civil War.
