Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a republication of an X-File that integrates the results of our experiments with existing doctrine and TTPs to provide an easy-to-use reference for Marines. This X-File discusses tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPS) related to knowledge gained during the series of experiments and assessments that have been conducted by the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory since 1996. Small units, primarily the rifle squad, carry the fight to the enemy in urban combat. This is the focus of this X-File. We have combined current doctrine with what we have learned in more than four years of experimentation to synthesize knowledge that applies primarily to the Marine Rifle Squad.

This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s Army faces an environment much different from that which it prepared for in the Cold War. Massed armor battles on the plains of Europe, for which the Army was trained and equipped, have become much less likely while involvement in smaller and more limited conflict has become more probable. Future conflict is more likely to resemble Grenada, Panama, or Somalia than Desert Storm. As world demographics shift from rural to urban areas, the cities will increasingly become areas of potential conflict. They cannot be avoided as a likely battlefield, and have already played a prominent part in Army combat operations in the last decade. If the Army is to keep pace in this changing environment it must look to the cities when developing doctrine, technology, and force structure. The close battlefield of Mogadishu or Panama City is much different from the premier training areas of the National Training Center or Hohenfels. Yet aviators have been presented the dilemma of training for the latter environment and being deployed to the former. For most aviators facing urban combat, it is a matter of learning as they fight. To avoid the high casualties and collateral damage likely in an urban fight against a determined opponent, however. Army aviation must train and prepare before they fight. Attack helicopters are inextricably woven into the fabric of combined arms operations. But for the Army to operate effectively as a combined arms team in an urban environment, both aviators and the ground units they support must understand the capabilities and limitations attack helicopters bring to the battle. This paper presents an historical perspective of how attack helicopters have already been used in this environment. It also discusses the factors that make city fighting unique, and the advantages and disadvantages for attack helicopter employment in an urban environment, as well as implications for future urban conflicts.

Download or read book Breaking the Mold written by Kendall D. Gott and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2006 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few lessons are as prevalent in military history as is the adage that tanks don't perform well in cities. The notion of deliberately committing tanks to urban combat is anathema to most. In "Breaking the Mold: Tanks in the Cities," Ken Gott disproves that notion with a timely series of five case studies from World War II to the present war in Iraq. This is not a parochial or triumphant study. These cases demonstrate that tanks must do more than merely "arrive" on the battlefield to be successful in urban combat. From Aachen in 1944 to Fallujah in 2004, the absolute need for specialized training and the use of combined arms at the lowest tactical levels are two of the most salient lessons that emerge from this study. When properly employed, well-trained and well-supported units led by tanks are decisive in urban combat. The reverse also is true. Chechen rebels taught the Russian army and the world a brutal lesson in Grozny about what happens when armored units are poorly led, poorly trained, and cavalierly employed in a city. The case studies in this monograph are high-intensity battles in conflicts ranging from limited interventions to major combat operations. It would be wrong to use them to argue for the use of tanks in every urban situation. As the intensity of the operation decreases, the 2nd and 3rd order effects of using tanks in cities can begin to outweigh their utility. The damage to infrastructure caused by their sheer weight and size is just one example of what can make tanks unsuitable for every mission. Even during peace operations, however, the ability to employ tanks and other heavy armored vehicles can be crucial. "Breaking the Mold" provides an up-to-date analysis of the utility of tanks and heavy armored forces in urban combat. The U.S. Army will increasingly conduct combat operations in urban terrain, and it will be necessary to understand what it takes to employ tanks to achieve success in that battlefield environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the period September-December 1944 the US XX Corps encircled and reduced Metz as a preliminary move to enhance the continued attack eastward of the US Third Army. Recognizing the strategic and political importance of the city, seizure by US forces was strongly contested by elements of the German First Army. The Battle is an excellent example of a Corps sized operation against a well fortified and defended strong point, as well as combat in urban terrain.

Download or read book Players Or Spectators Heavy Force Doctrine for MOUT written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph discusses the proper doctrine for current heavy forces in Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT). The urban warfare concepts found in classical military theory, modern military theory, history, and contemporary analysis are examined to develop a set of propositions for current heavy force MOUT doctrine. Present U.S. Army MOUT doctrine for heavy forces is compared to these propositions to determine the adequacy and validity of current doctrine. This paper concludes with implications for the U.S. Army today based on its heavy force MOUT doctrine. Among the many conclusions which are drawn from this investigation is that current doctrine for heavy forces in MOUT should contain the following four propositions: (1) The attack of an urban area is a time consuming operation. (2) In most cases, the attacker should attempt to avoid combat in urban terrain. (3) Combined arms (including dismounted infantry and armored vehicles with large caliber, direct fire fire weapons) are necessary for successful MOUT operations. (4) The urban defender should have a counterattack capability. Present Army MOUT doctrine adequately addresses only Proposition 2.

Download or read book Urban Operations written by Department of the Army and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctrine provides a military organization with a common philosophy, a language, a purpose, and unity of effort. Rather than establishing a set of hard and fast rules, the objective of doctrine is to foster initiative and creative thinking. To this end, FM 3-06 discusses major Army operations in an urban environment. This environment, consisting of complex terrain, a concentrated population, and an infrastructure of systems, is an operational environment in which Army forces will operate. In the future, it may be the predominant operational environment. Each urban operation is unique and will differ because of the multitude of combinations presented by the threat, the urban area itself, the major operation of which it may be part (or the focus), and the fluidity of societal and geopolitical considerations. Therefore, there will always exist an innate tension between Army doctrine, the actual context of the urban operation, and future realities. Commanders must strike the proper balance between maintaining the capability to respond to current threats and preparing for future challenges.
