News from the CTC: The Pareto principle in combat operations.
The Pareto principle simply stated is that 80% of the desired results are derived from 20% of the input (also known as the 80/20 rule in which roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes). This principle has been proven in business and finance, in addition to military implications. From this principle, the paper focuses on key components that produce the greatest impact across the brigade combat team (BCT). The Army’s focus on decisive action (DA) is suffering from a decade of counter insurgency (COIN) operations; necessitating a much more rapid evolution in preparing for a near peer threat across multiple domains. Inability to adapt the military’s current training to fit the current threat, increases the probability of a deadly learning curve in the next war or conflict. According to the Pareto principle, marked improvement is achieved through increasing focus on the best 20% of processes related to combat training; specifically, reconnaissance, command and control (C2) nodes, the common operational picture (COP), and sustainment. Each of these focal points tie in and support each other in a highly complex battlefield
History of field press censorship in SHAEF; World War II.
"A well informed public, consistent with national security, is most conducive to morale." The history tells the story of United States Armed Forces field press censorship in the European Theater in World War II from its beginning until its termination on VJ-Day. Activities of the Army, Navy and Air Force (then the Army Air Force) are covered and there is, as well, some material dealing with the operations of Allied Forces in this field. This coverage of Navy and Air Force and Allied activities is particularly valuable inasmuch as field press censorship in combat areas is a joint operation involving all of the services and a combined operation when Allied Forces are involved
