Allied Translator and Interpreter Section interrogation report no. 104 (research supplement), Far East Command, 6 August 1951.
No full textThis report summarizes significant information concerning North Korean Forces obtained from on-the-spot interrogation of North Korean prisoners of war and deserters and Republic of Korea refugees by highly-trained U.S. Army and Air Force interrogators operating in the Korean battle area. Recipients are cautioned that this report is based primarily on prisoner of war interrogations and information contained herein is not completely evaluated. Subsequent interrogations will undoubtedly bring to light additional data upon which revision and correction of this material will have to be made in future interrogation reports of this continuous series. Research Supplements to Interrogation Reports, North Korean Forces, of which this report is the first, represent consolidations of information derived from the cumulative interrogation of prisoners of war and refugees, augmented by translations of captured documents and other parallel sources. Immediately upon capture, North Korean prisoners of war are interrogated briefly by capturing units to obtain front-line intelligence. They are then transported to United Nations' prisoner of war enclosures where they received a detailed interrogation by Advanced ATIS interrogation teams. The resulting individual reports are then delivered by air courier to ATIS Headquarters in TOKYO for collation and dissemination

1st Aviation Brigade operations manual. Edition : 1 June 1966.
No full textThe development of airmobile operational techniques and procedures is, and must remain, a dynamic process. It is essential that certain of these be standardized throughout the Republic of Vietnam to insure common understanding, to facilitate rapid tailoring of forces and to increase our responsiveness on each operation. This manual contains techniques and procedures which at this point in our experience, are considered to be sound, workable, and worthy of standardization. Admittedly there are many other successful techniques and procedures currently in use. This manual is not intended to restrict their use, nor to inhibit the imagination of subordinates. It is intended as a standard guide for training and preparation of SOPs. This manual establishes doctrine and tactics for the 1st Aviation Brigade, US Army Vietnam (USARV), in the conduct and support of airmobile operations. Its purpose is to provide commanders and staff officers throughout the Brigade with the guidance they require to plan and conduct airmobile operations in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN). This manual emphasizes the employment of tactical helicopters of the UH-1 series, both lift and armed. It also covers to a lesser degree of detail the employment of other helicopters, fixed wing aircraft, air traffic control units, pathfinders, aircraft maintenance units, and other organizations and equipment associated with the tactical employment of Army aviation in RVN

Final report, unnumbered study project, ATSWD-G 322 (Army), Headquarters US CONARC, 9 September 1957. Development of a field army logistical structure.
No full textThe purpose of this project is to analyze and compare with each other the current structure (Plan Alfa) and two proposed logistical structures (Plans Bravo and Charlie) for the field army as a basis for higher headquarters to select and initiate development of a logistical structure which will fill the immediate need for support of the reorganized divisions. Plans Bravo and Charlie are developed in sufficient detail to permit valid comparison. All three plans are depicted in an assumed tactical situation to assist in the comparative process and insure workability on the atomic battlefield. Similarities and differences in organization are isolated; relative costs in personnel and equipment computed; and relative advantages and disadvantages in flexibility, command control, span of control and echelon of control, responsiveness, and resiliency are presented

German campaign in Norway. Campaign study no. 2, September 30, 1942.
No full textFew campaigns in history have been more complicated or more interesting than the campaign in Norway. Troops and naval units of four nations – Great Britain, France, Norway, and Poland- resisted the German invasion. A vast amount of mercantile and naval tonnage was involved. Transport of troops by sea and by air was accomplished with striking ingenuity. New methods of winter combat in mountainous country were tested and proved sound. The coordination of the German spearhead movements was notable. On the first day of hostilities, the Germans made important landings at six different ports. From all these ports spearheads moved inland simultaneously. From Oslo five spearheads were dispatched; from Trondheim, three. In most areas the Norwegians resisted. To assist them, the Allies subsequently made important landings at Narvik, Namsos, and Andalsnes, and supporting landings elsewhere. The decision in Norway was determined, not by superior valor, but by thorough planning, united leadership, coordinated action, swift execution, and superiority of materiel
Leading Baker Company: Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory and implications for Army leaders.
No full textThe LMX theory attempts to understand the process of how leaders and direct subordinates build relationships with one another. For proponents of LMX the quality of one-on-one, or dyadic, relationships between leaders and followers are the principal determinants behind leader effectiveness in meeting organizational goals (Graen & Uhl-Bien, 1995, p. 225). Through a set of phases over time, leaders and members form perceptions of each other which inform both leader's decisions and follower's commitment levels (Northouse, 2013, p. 166). These perceptions normally result in inequitable relationships between supervisors and team members. For complex reasons, some relationships develop into effective leader-member exchanges, while other exchanges are less positive
