Student monograph, Infantry Officers Advanced Course, Class nr. 1, 1956-57.
No full textFrom the author: "This discussion will develop the uses, organization, and control of this source of manpower at regimental and lower levels. I intend to show that indigenous labor, when properly used, controlled, and organized, is feasible. I also intend to show that there is a limiting point below which it is impractical to assign this manpower even though the use of it may support a platoon or a squad and possibly individuals." Annex A- organization of an indigenous labor company (proposed). (Scan is best quality- original document almost illegible in sections- a photocopy.

The armored airborne team : volume II. A research report prepared at The Armored School, Fort Knox, Kentucky, 1951-1952.
No full textThis is a study of the use of armored and airborne forces as a team. These two elements have been used in mutually supporting roles on several occasions in the past and there is reason to believe that they will be so used again. Our purpose is to present a study of the various aspects of such a team and to give the military reader a better understanding of this subject. We have considered the basic characteristics, capabilities, limitations, planning, and conduct of operations by the team. These considerations have been supplemented by historical examples. (Taken from Volume I)

JUSPAO field memorandum, number 57, August 21, 1968: organization and operation of U.S.-supported culture-drama teams.
No full textCulture-drama entertainment in rural hamlets is a traditional expression of culture in Vietnam. Roaming culture-drama teams began to operate in the days of Chinese domination and this tradition has continued through modern times. Because of the widespread familiarity of the peasant with culture-drama and his wide acceptance of this traditional culture form, the communists seized upon the concept and developed it into a PSYOP weapon. The communist forces in Vietnam presently use culture-drama to bolster the morale of both combatants and non-combatants, to instill attitudes favorable to their cause, and to sustain their attack on the political, military, social and economic objectives of the Government of Vietnam. Document headings include: goals of culture-drama teams; responsibilities (JUSPAO and field organizations); the program of the culture-drama teams (performances, cultural seed planting, PSYOP civic action activities, popularization of culture-drama); financial support of or assistance to teams; basic principles and policies; operational considerations; terminology for teams; and an annex. Annex: Desirable criteria for organization and operation of U.S.-supported culture-drama teams (duties of teams, spiritual guidelines for the Van Tac Vu cadre, five precepts of Van Tac Vu cadre, the twelve rules- prohibitions- of the Van Tac Vu, qualifications for becoming a Van Tac Vu cadre, four obligations, and schedule of pay and allowances for Van Tac Vu personnel)

Sustainment in support of large scale combat operations.
No full textThis publication is a compilation of observations, lessons learned, best practices, and concepts compiled by observer coach/trainers at the National Training Center. This book represents almost two years of data and analysis focused on both brigade support and combat sustainment support battalions, and even a divisional support area command post. This book attempts to provide a candid perspective on the challenges currently facing tactical sustainers. To be successful, there must be engaged leadership at echelon, deliberate planning, and the ability to rehearse in a tactical setting — either in garrison or at a collective training event
