Book Description
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. In Nov. 1999, the Army began the development of a brigade-sized force capable of rapid deployment, yet with the staying power of the current heavy force. Toward that end, the Combat Studies Inst. (CSI) analyzed four U.S. Army division/brigade restructuring initiatives that took place between the years 1960 to 1994 in an attempt to "determine critical historical insights gained and common themes from previous Army experiments germane to standing up the Prototype [Initial] Brigade." To provide a broader historical context and a wider range of key themes and trends that may be relevant to the current restructuring efforts, the CSI expanded its efforts to include several additional restructuring initiatives that have occurred since 1939.

Sixty Years of Reorganizing for Combat
Author: Combat Studies Institute

ISBN: 9781453686539

Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
Throughout the twentieth century, the U.S. Army has periodically reviewed the structure and organization of its primary combat unit, the division, to posture itself better to meet changing requirements. From 1939 though the mid-eighties, the Army has conducted at least eleven such reviews with associated testing and validation exercises. In November 1999, Gen. Eric Shinseki, the Army Chief of Staff, directed the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command to undertake a comprehensive review of these reorganizations. In this volume, each case study begins with an overview of the circumstances that generated the restructuring initiatives in question. The overview is followed by an analysis of the following focus areas: proposed unit missions; preparatory training; unit field test methods; testing results; TOE-required resources versus MTOE manning; equipment; technology issues; impact of conversion on unit readiness; operational/wartime validation; and other insights gained. The final chapter of this work draws upon the twelve case studies to illuminate significant common themes in the Army's perennial efforts to improve its capabilities through reorganization. (Originally published by the U.S. government, this current edition was reprinted from older PDF files; typesetting may lack some of the crispness of newer publications.)

Book Description
Throughout the twentieth century, the U.S. Army has periodically reviewed the structure and organization of its primary combat unit, the division, to posture itself better to meet changing requirements. Since 1939, the Army has conducted at least eleven such reviews with associated testing and validation exercises, the most recent being the reorganization of the light and heavy divisions in the mid-to-late 1980s. Given the significant changes in the world political environment since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact in the early 1990s, another such review is warranted, if not overdue. In November 1999, Gen. Eric Shinseki, the Army Chief of Staff, directed the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command to undertake just such a comprehensive review. In response, the TRADOC commander, Gen. John Abrams, began the development of a brigade-sized force capable of rapid deployment, yet with the staying power of the current heavy force. Toward that end, the Combined Arms Center tasked the Combat Studies Institute to analyze four U.S. Army division/brigade restructuring initiatives that took place between the years 1960 to 1994 in an attempt to "determine critical historical insights gained and common themes from previous Army experiments germane to standing up the Prototype [Initial] Brigade."

Key to the Sinai

Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
In both the 1956 and 1967 wars, Abu Ageila was the main gateway to the Sinai for the Israel Defense Forces. Yet there were marked differences between Egyptian and Israeli war plans, preparations, operations, and results in the two battles for the area. In 1956, Israel carried the burden of a constricting alliance with Britain and France and faced other extensive military problems. The result was that Israel fought a difficult and costly battle for Abu Ageila. In contrast, in 1967, the Israel Defense Forces developed a brilliant operational plan and achieved effective unit command and control and attained a decisive victory.
