Deterioration of the Japanese situation in the Canton-Hongkong area.
No full textProvides multiple examples of the then current problems, followed by an assumption, discussion, and conclusions.

From the United States point of view, the mission of the China Theater was to increase the military effectiveness of the Chinese Army, and to divert, contain, and destroy maximum Japanese forces

United States Army Field Artillery School, evaluation of forward observers, final report, September 1978.
No full textA contract was let with the University of Oklahoma for the conduct of an independent evaluation to determine those cognitive factors associated with successful forward observer self and target location as well as other possible training deficiencies as surfaced by the Weapons System Training Effectiveness Analysis-Forward Observer (WSTEA-FO) study effort. The WSTEA-FO study was conducted in 1977 as part of a TRADOC program to assess the effectiveness of major weapons systems with a view toward their improvement. The FO subsystem was studied by the US Army Field Artillery School (USAFAS) because of the overall system benefit that could be derived. Results of the WSTEA-FO effort indicated among other things that the typical FO was not able to locate himself or the target initially within ARTEP standards. Performance of forward observer students from the Army Field Artillery School at Fort Sill was investigated in relation to several learner variables. Learner variables included in the study were field dependence -independence cognitive style, visual haptic perceptual style, trait anxiety, scores on the Lorge-Thorndike I.Q. scale, and achievement scores (the Sequential Test of Educational Progress). These learner variables were investigated in relation to forward observers performance as measured in three different testing situations throughout their training sequence
