Key Korean War battles fought in the Republic of Korea.
No full textBefore Vietnam, the Korean War was the fourth largest in America's history. To preclude it from developing into WW III, it was fought as a war of containment, confined to the 500-mile-long, mountainous Korean peninsula. It was the first test of collective security against Communist expansion and was really two wars rolled into one as the United Nations fighting team first repelled the North Korean invaders and then battled the Communist Chinese to a standstill. This headquarters, recognizing the military training advantages of introducing the Eighth Army soldier to accessible Korean War battle sites and the historical lessons of the important engagements which took place here, has undertaken a program of "Tactical Walks" whereby interested Army personnel are given the opportunity to visit the locations of key Korean War actions and receive an on-the-spot briefing by a qualified instructor. These excursions have the twofold purpose of acquainting the Army professional with the past and present day situation in Korea and enhancing his tactical capabilities. Accordingly, the Eighth Army Staff Historian has carefully selected nine key battles of the Korean War, which took place in the Republic of Korea and has presented them here, along with maps and terrain photos, for use by the instructors and others engaged in doctrine and training efforts. Derived from official US Army accounts, they are offered to further US Army military history objectives by providing insight and solutions to combat problems, avoiding the repetition of past mistakes, and illustrating the theory and practice of military art and science
Study: the Communist Party of South Vietnam, March 1966, United States Mission in Vietnam, Saigon-Vietnam.
No full textThe Communist Party in South Vietnam is called the People's Revolutionary Party (Dang Nhan Dan Cach Mang). It does not deny, in its public statements, that it is communist, calling itself the "Marxist- Leninist Party of South Vietnam." Neither does it deny that it is much more than simply a member of the National Liberation Front (NLF) of South Vietnam. It asserts, in fact, that it is the engine of the Revolution, "the vanguard of the NLF, the soul of the NLF". It does deny that it has any official ties with Hanoi, Communist China or the USSR, beyond the "fraternal ties of communism." Contents: organizational chart of the People's Revolutionary Party; study of the People's Revolutionary Party; footnotes; biographical sketch of PRP leaders; and comparison of PRP and Lao Dong by-laws
Battle of Kiangyin.
No full textThe battle of Kiangyin represents an example of a small navy fighting against vast superiority according to the determined over-all strategy of a nation. There was no alternative left for such a navy. And there was no other task for the Chinese Commander save the attainment of an ultimate object. Yet physically, this battle has probably become the earliest example of air-sea warfare, a kind of warfare perhaps destined to change the appearance of modern naval warfare
404th Civil Affairs Battalion : Enabling capacity building through English Discussion Groups (EDGs): the pros and cons. (Civil information management cell in the Horn of Africa).
No full textThe English Discussion Groups (EDGs) have been an enduring mission of the Civil Affairs Battalion (CA BN) in Djibouti since 2007. EDGs are not new to the Army and in the Army CA FM 41-10 dated in 1967, are discussed as a component of capacity building, although this type of mission has not been addressed in CA doctrine since the late sixties. However, it has reemerged as one for the CA BN deployed to CJTF-HOA in Djibouti.
This document describes the various EDGs currently in operation in Djibouti and is meant to summarize the strengths and weaknesses of an enabling activity used by CA soldiers around Djibouti. The information is presented from the perspective of the Civil Information Management (CIM) Cell Officer-in-Charge (OIC)
Theater intelligence primer : theater strategy and campaigning.
No full textThe intent of this primer is to educate commanders and senior staff to be involved, supportive consumers of intelligence. The goal is not to repeat doctrine—although doctrine references are noted. To quote from the introduction of the classic book Intelligence is for Commanders, this is “written primarily for commanders, because intelligence is for commanders. Intelligence is not an academic exercise nor is it an end in itself. The prime purpose of intelligence is to help the commander make a decision, and thereby to proceed more accurately and more confidently with the accomplishment of his mission.
