Book excerpt: Army transformation should not be a "one size fits all" process. Each of the Army's surviving corps has a unique origin. Relevance to present and future conflict environments requires multiple destinations. Ultimately, separate transformations are required to move from distinct origins to diverse destinations. Today's U.S. Army corps have their roots in Napoleon's corps d'armée and the corps formed during the American Civil War. Corps and divisions vanished after the Civil War. Divisions were resurrected on the eve of U.S. entry to World War I, but corps returned later as large tactical headquarters during the preparation for World War II. The Cold War, with its large standing Army, mature coalitions, extensive network of modern infrastructure in what was expected to be the primary theater of war, and known enemy with known doctrine and known order of battle, made corps the U.S. Army's principal warfighting command. Today these conditions no longer hold. Given this, should corps retain their preeminent role? Should corps survive at all? The answer is unequivocally "yes." But what role should they play and what relationship should they have with echelons above and below? There is no single answer that applies across the Army. Whither corps? In the face of small budgets and high operating tempo, resistance to change is self destructive. The Army must remain relevant, or it will continue to lose in the budget competition. But relevance to what? Some argue for relevance to the many expected small wars at the expense of the ability to fight "big" wars. Others argue for maintaining a "big war" capability for unexpected but high stakes conflicts, at the risk of appearing irrelevant to the frequent small wars. Still others argue that relevance is determined by the ability to fight America's "big wars" 20 years hence. Regardless of where relevance for ground forces is found, most agree that relevance will be determined in the context of joint forces. In any case, organization will matter. Refining the shape and function of corps will be a vital part of the broader process of Army transformation.
Download or read book Whither the Waters written by John L. Kessell and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2017-04-15 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernardo de Miera y Pacheco (1713–1785) is remembered today not only as colonial New Mexico’s preeminent religious artist, but also as the cartographer who drew some of the most important early maps of the American West. His “Plano Geographico” of the Colorado Plateau and Great Basin, revised by his hand in 1778, influenced other mapmakers for almost a century. This book places the man and the map in historical context, reminding readers of the enduring significance of Miera y Pacheco. Later Spanish cartographers, as well as Baron Alexander von Humboldt, Captain Zebulon Montgomery Pike, and Henry Schenck Tanner, projected or expanded upon the Santa Fe cartographer’s imagery. By so doing, they perpetuated Miera y Pacheco’s most notable hydrographic misinterpretations. Not until almost seventy years after Miera did John Charles Frémont take the field and see for himself whither the waters ran and whither they didn’t.

Download or read book History of the Polish Revolution and the Events of the Campaign written by Joseph Hordynski and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book tells about the events pre-, during, and post the great Polish revolution. It describes the prerequisites of the war, the analysis of the political and social situation, and the complete account of the revolution from the perspective of an eyewitness. Being an experienced participant of Napoleonic wars, Hordynskiy gives an expert assessment of the flaws and wins of the revolution, tells about the chief leaders such as Marshal Diebitsch, Prince Wirtemberg, and others. Since this book is a memoir, it is full of interesting details, not typical for the official records—a valuable source for reference for everyone interested in the history of the events described. Joseph Hordynski (1792 – 1840) was a Polish Sapper Corps officer, an experienced veteran of the Napoleon wars, and an active participant of November 1830 Upraising. Being forced to flee after the November events, he emigrated to the United States, where he created and published the memoirs of the Polish revolution. After, he moved to France to continue for his fight for Poland.

The narrative is a faithful history detailing the formidable struggles and ultimate victories of the Peninsular War." "This is an account of the Peninsular War in Europe, drawing on the vast knowledge and research of the Marquess of Londonderry. This edition is illuminating, accessible and readily informative, making it a marvellous read for both the dedicated student and interested reader." "It must be remembered when reading the edition that The Marquess of Londonderry took an active part in the great struggle he describes so beautifully. At the time he was working closely with the War Minister of the day, and it is this working relationship that gives this edition observations and perceptions of the war that would have been unavailable to others at the time of conflict. The Marquess recorded his impressions of the war daily, as they occurred."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book Foreign Seizures written by Eugene F. Mooney and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Supreme Court framed a unique legal doctrine on foreign seizure of American-owned property in the case of Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino in 1963. This ruling has far-reaching implications for international law, American foreign policy, and the role of the Court in both domestic and international arenas of power. Disagreeing with the Court's decisions, Eugene F. Mooney undertakes to place the Act of State Doctrine in its proper historical, jurisprudential, and political perspective. Mooney argues forcefully that the dogmatic application of the Act of State Doctrine is indefensible in light of its origin, the history of past application, and the pressing current requirements of our international economy.
