Setting the theater in the Pacific : lessons and best practices.
No full textSetting the theater is a geographic combatant command responsibility in which the theater army plays a major role. The purpose of this document is to show how U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) postured land domain capabilities, particularly those that fall under mission command, to set the theater and contribute to security and stability in the Pacific region. Written for public release, the insights offered in this document are based on previous collections and therefore provide a snapshot in time. As the situation evolves in this theater, so do the support requirements for specific operation plans, concept plans, and other requirements established in the geographic combatant commander’s (GCC’s) theater campaign plan. Therefore, this document merely provides a framework for staff to consider as they ponder and refine their own plans

Regimental unit study number 2. (The fight at the lock).
No full textFrom the beginning, American attention was directed at the Le Barquette lock. This unique objective and its possible military application appears to have fascinated the imaginations not only of those who planned Operation Neptune but of the commanders who were to execute it. To get to the lock first and to make certain that the enemy would have no use of it became an overriding consideration with the planning and tactical forces. Whether that interest was out of proportion to the strategic significance of the lock was a question never fully answered in the doing. American apprehensions as to what might happen if the Germans gained control of the lock superinduced one of the boldest strokes of the Normandy campaign, a stroke boldly made and tactically productive. Yet whether the emphasis placed on the position by the Allied planners was justifiable was never confirmed by the attitude of the enemy

G-2 estimate of the enemy situation with respect to Olympic Operation (Southern Kyushu).
No full textG-2 estimate of the enemy situation with respect to Olympic Operation (Southern Kyushu). By midsummer of 1945 there was little that Japan could look backward to with pride or forward to with hope. The crescendo of Allied advance had grown apace, and with portentous results. The sequel to Okinawa could only be an attack upon some part of the Inner Zone and presumably would be an invasion of the homeland. Japan acknowledged that. The key phrase in her own discussions of the war had now become "the decisive battle for the defense of the homeland"
Potential base development, Philippine Islands, 28 March 1945 (Engineer Intelligence report).
No full textThe purpose of this military development study is to give a concise general picture of the capacity of designated areas in the Philippine Islands for the support of troop staging for future operations. Areas on the development map are shown diagrammatically, and have been arbitrarily numbered for easy indexing. Information on the potentialities and suitabilities of each area for military development are given in briefed form. The construction of military installations has already begun in certain areas, but the current status of such development has not been considered in this publication. Information has been taken chiefly from published Engineer Intelligence reports
