GPO S/N: 008-029-00213-2, Cloth; GPO S/N: 008-029-00229-9, Paper

From the Golden Gate to Mexico City: The U.S. Army Topographical Engineers in the Mexican War tells the story of how the engineers performed a valuable combat support mission in America's first foreign war, making reconnaissances, planning routes of advance, and charting little-known terrain. Adrian G. Traas describes the engineers' decisive roles in the campaigns in the Southwest and Mexico, providing the new nation with maps of newly acquired lands and vast amounts of valuable scientific findings. He also shows that they were on the cutting edge of nineteenth-century technology as they laid the communication routes that would tie the nation together. Traas has written a compelling story for today's military students with an interest in not only the account of frontier adventures but also the influence of terrain on campaigns and battles, the principles of geographical intelligence in our era of computer and satellite technology still viable.

GPO S/N: 008-029-00220-5

Portrait of an Army highlights a representative cross-section from the more than 15,000 pieces of military art in the Army Art Collection, consisting of paintings, drawings, sketches, watercolors, and other media. The selected images, organized into combat, combat support, and combat service support categories, portray the human dimension of a Soldier's life in peace and war. The focus of the volume, like that of the Army and civilian artists themselves, is on the composite reality captured in each image and on the interplay between related images. The result is a portrait in its truest sense, a distilling of experience as remembered in telling details. But it is also a collective portrait, a commemoration of all the men and women who have served the Army and their country so well. The intended result is a faithful image of the Soldier, past and present.

THE BATTLE OF SECOND MANASSAS: SELF-GUIDED TOUR

Joseph W. A. Whitehorne

Special Publications
CMH Pub 70-26, Paper
1991; 70 pages, tables, maps, illustrations, suggested readings

GPO S/N: 008-029-00221-3

The Battle of Second Manassas, prepared as a self-guided tour, is intended to help today's soldiers study the American battlefields of the past not only to better understand the complexities and inevitable pressures of warfare but also to sharpen their knowledge of the art of war and their craft. The contest around Groveton, Virginia, on 29-30 August 1862 was characterized by complex maneuvers and fighting over the same areas at several different times. New units funneled into the battle throughout its course, while others were rushed from one point to another as the action shifted. This lack of order is a reflection of the high level of confusion experienced at the time. The courage of the men on both sides was exemplary, but technology has overtaken the tactics they used. Nevertheless, the lessons in leadership, command, the use of intelligence, and the performance of men under stress shown by this battle have a lasting value.

Not Available through GPO sales.

King of Battle records the development of field artillery in the U.S. Army since colonial times, the branch undergoing a profound technological, tactical, doctrinal, and organizational transformation between 1775 and 1980. Relying on primary sources and secondary literature, Boyd L. Dastrup carefully documents the alternating periods of both rapid advancement when national security was threatened and of slow advancement during times of peace, although field artillery officers of vision tried to maintain a steady pace. In covering the evolution of technology, tactics, and doctrine, and in examining, as appropriate, organizations with training and operations, Dastrup has provided military history scholars and students with an important research source for studying the King of Battle and branch members with a rich history that enhances their esprit de corps.

CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO THE WAR WITH SPAIN INCLUDING THE INSURRECTION IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS AND THE CHINA RELIEF EXPEDITION, APRIL 15, 1898 TO JULY 30, 1902 - 2 Volumes

1993; 1,489 pages, appendix, index

Not Available through GPO sales.

Correspondence Relating to the War With Spain, long out-of-print, is an invaluable two-volume documentary collection of the communications between The Adjutant General's Office and the field commanders. First published in 1902 and brought back into print to commemorate the centennial of the Spanish-American War, this facsimile edition provides a solid core of primary material and a starting point for research on a wide spectrum of topics related to the U.S. Army and its conduct of overseas campaigns in Cuba, Puerto Rico, China, and the Philippines. A new feature is an introduction by Graham A. Cosmas, who describes the War With Spain as a major event in the Army's evolution from a frontier constabulary into the military arm of a twentieth-century world power. As Cosmas states, "The collection, and its limitations, shaped the historiography of the conflict." The volumes serve as a hallmark of the Army's first efforts to project forces over great distances outside North America to achieve strategic objectives.

GPO S/N: 008-029-00284-1

The Whirlwind War: The United States Army in Operations DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM provides an overview of the U.S. Army's role in the coalition force arrayed against Iraq during the Persian Gulf War in 1990-1991. Frank N. Schubert and Theresa L. Kraus, as well as thirteen other contributing historians, have crafted a riveting account of how the Vietnam-era Army transformed itself into a small, superbly equipped, highly skilled, well-trained, and extremely mobile force, composed of units from both the active and reserve components. In this major test the Army clearly demonstrated that it could project its power effectively and operate as part of a multinational force with great success. Although not definitive, Whirlwind War records a pivotal chapter in the Army's history by describing the various strands that came together to produce the Army of the 1990s and by capturing how that Army in turn performed under fire and in the glare of world attention. The war helped reaffirm America's faith in itself-in its products, performance, purpose, and dedication. The story is worthy of study and reflection.

Special Publications
CMH Pub 70-31, Cloth; CMH Pub 70-31-1, Paper
2000; 371 pages, charts, figures, tables, maps, illustrations, appendixes, bibliographical note, index

GPO S/N: 008-029-00363-5

Eyes of Artillery is the first archive-based in-depth study of the institutional origins of modern Army Aviation during World War II. The close-support technique of choice featured airborne eyes and ground artillery. In recounting the experiences of the men who flew observed fire missions in light aircraft, Edgar F. Raines Jr. takes care to delineate how these aircraft-"air observations posts" in War Department parlance, "Maytag Messerschmidts" or "biscuit bombers" to the ground troops-effectively interacted with each element of the combined arms team, thus becoming an integral team player. A valuable resource for students of institutional change, his volume makes a genuine and unique contribution to the literature of World War II.

Industrialists in Olive Drab: The Emergency Operation of Private Industrial Facilities by the War Department During World War II by John H. Ohly, the individual most closely involved with this effort, recounts the unique story of Ohly and his compatriots who were charged with the mission of guaranteeing that private companies sustained the vital war production of weapons, munitions, and other materiel needed by America's fighting men and the Allies to achieve victory overseas. Organized and improved to facilitate the understanding of present-day readers, this carefully edited and revised version by Clayton D. Laurie remains true to Ohly's impressive research, recounting of events, basic facts, and interpretations. For those in the field of defense acquisition, Ohly's history has many lessons, not the least being the resolution of conflicting interests between the needs of the state and those of the private sector within the framework of our constitutional democracy.

GPO S/N: 008-029-00384-8, Cloth; GPO S/N: 008-029-00385-6, Paper

The Story of the Noncommissioned Officer Corps is an important one, a rich history that continues to evolve. In this updated and expanded edition with narrative essays, paintings, photographs, and selected documents relevant to the contributions and experiences of those who are in the words of Rudyard Kipling "the backbone of the Army," David W. Hogan Jr., Robert K. Wright Jr., and Arnold G. Fisch Jr., as well as ten other contributing historians, prove the American noncommissioned officer to be a timeless icon. For more than two hundred thirty years NCOs have served alongside officers as leaders in the U.S. Army, not only in the barracks and on the parade ground but, most importantly, in the face of the enemy. The Army's reliance on both the technical knowledge and small-unit leadership of the NCO Corps evolved over decades until more training and professionalism became the norm. What this book does best is explain the historical significance of the NCO's traditional roles as small-unit leaders, trainers, and guardians of Army standards, living the Army values and representing the strength and resolution of the American people. It is an inspiring volume, a tribute to the self-reliant NCOs now in the forefront of Army Transformation.

RECURRING LOGISTIC PROBLEMS AS I HAVE OBSERVED THEM

Carter B. Magruder

Special Publications
CMH Pub 70-39, Cloth; CMH Pub 70-39-1, Paper
1991; 134 pages, appendix

Not Available through GPO sales.

The study of the logistical aspects of war is of particular importance in our peacetime Army because, as Carter B. Magruder so forcibly reminds us in Recurring Logistic Problems as I Have Observed Them, basic problems tend to recur with greater frequency when a maximum effort is being made. Recognized as the top logistician in the Army during his long military career, Magruder acquired an intimate and accurate knowledge of the extraordinary tasks involved in providing support to troops fighting in theaters of war thousands of miles apart and a great distance from home bases. Despite the radical transformation in equipment and supplies that separate today's Army, the principles that guided the technical services of Magruder's day apply equally to those who now serve in combat service support assignments. As Magruder hoped, an examination of the problems within the context of military operations may foster solutions and process improvements.

A Soldier Supporting Soldiers represents the collective insights of distinguished U.S. Army logistician Joseph M. Heiser Jr. He infuses his narrative with specific firsthand experiences in the organization of combat service support, thus illuminating larger principles of not only logistics but also military leadership and ethics. Heiser describes and analyzes problems still familiar to those who provide the materials and other support required by today's Army, especially in an environment of limited resources and challenging contingency operations. Military logisticians and military policymakers will benefit greatly from the logistics lessons.

THE U.S. ARMY GHQ MANEUVERS OF 1941

Christopher R. Gabel

Special Publications
CMH Pub 70-41-1, Paper
1991; 227 pages, charts, maps, illustrations, appendixes, bibliography, glossary, index

GPO S/N: 008-029-00242-6

The U.S. Army GHQ Maneuvers of 1941 is a masterful study of the largest military training exercises ever conducted by a military organization attempting to mobilize and modernize simultaneously during a rapidly changing international security environment. As suggested by Christopher R. Gabel, the maneuvers had an incalculable influence on the development of the American force structure in World War II, giving Army formations experience in teamwork and combined arms. Viewed by Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall as the "combat college for troop leading" for the rising crop of field-grade officers, they also served to test emerging assumptions about doctrine, organization, and equipment. Gabel's work assumes its rightful place as an important and useful addition to the body of historical literature on military training. The evolution of training in the U.S. Army, particularly the linkage between maneuvers and changes in doctrine and organization, is worthy of reflection by military students and those with an interest in maneuvers as field laboratories for simulating large-scale engagements.

U.S. ARMY SPECIAL OPERATIONS IN WORLD WAR II

Special Publications
CMH Pub 70-42, Paper
1992; 158 pages, illustrations, maps, bibliography, index

GPO S/N: 008-029-00248-5

U.S. Army Special Operations in World War II fills a gap in the Army's record of its overseas activities. As David W. Hogan so clearly states, a variety of commando and guerrilla operations were conducted on the plains of Europe and in the jungles of the Pacific to harass the Axis armies, to gather intelligence, and to support the more conventional Allied military efforts, yet their significance was a matter of dispute. Hogan examines the critical issues underlying special operations and shows how American leaders employed commandos-rangers in Army parlance-and guerrillas extensively, if not systematically, during the war. An important overview of the Army's past experience, the study contains useful lessons at a time of keen interest in the critical role being played by special operation forces in meeting today's contingencies.

1993, rev. ed. 2002; 237 pp, illustrations, chronology, glossary, dictionary

Not Available through GPO sales.

U.S. Army Signals Intelligence in World War II preserves the memory of the Army's role in what was perceived as a signals intelligence war. The availability of superb military intelligence was central but heretofore unheralded because of security considerations. With the security barriers now lifted, James L. Gilbert and John P. Finnegan have selected a representative body of tantalizing documents generated by various U.S. Army cryptologic organizations in an effort to acknowledge their contributions to the American victory in World War II.

Conceived as part of the Army historical community's commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of World War II, Gilbert's and Finnegan's fine work not only alerts the public to the existence of a relatively unexplored mass of historical documentation but also honors the signal veterans whose esprit de corps made it possible for the mission to succeed.

BUILDING AIR BASES IN THE NEGEV: THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS IN ISRAEL, 1979-1982

Not Available through GPO sales.

Building Air Bases in the Negev is a remarkable story of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' role supporting national diplomatic initiatives overseas while managing a major construction project in Israel. Frank N. Schubert has written a superbly organized account, tracing from the spring of 1979 to the summer of 1982 the development and completion of two ultramodern air bases at a cost that only exceeded original estimates by less than 3 percent. As Schubert suggests, the air base program helped bring peace between two long-term antagonists-Israel and Egypt. Schubert's work serves as an important case study for analyzing not only engineering project management and construction practices but also demanding sociopolitical, cultural, and business conditions in sovereign foreign lands.

The Proceedings of the International Conference on Cold War Military Records and History is an important anthology of papers on Cold War historical activities, presented by military historians and archivists of the Western and Eastern blocs to over 140 representatives from seventeen nations. Sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense's Historical Office and held in Washington, D.C., on 21-26 March 1994, the conference offered a venue for building a more solid foundation for bilateral exchanges and visits through a greater understanding of one another's military archives and historical programs. Consisting of forty Cold War military history papers carefully edited by William W. Epley, the anthology covers not only the official historical and archival programs in European and American countries but also the declassification of and access to records. Nine papers serve as a case study of the Berlin crisis of 1958-61, one of the most critical confrontations of the Cold War; two focus on the origins of the Cold War; twelve examine the problems and issues confronting historians writing about the Cold War; and the remaining seventeen outline the archival Cold War holdings and access issues. Taken together, the collected papers offer invaluable insights for understanding the tense and difficult period known as the Cold War.

GPO S/N: 008-029-00399-6

The Guide to U.S. Army Museums, originally published as a directory in 1968 and 1975 but then as a narrative in 1992, underscores both the institutional history and the scope of the U.S. Army Historical Property Collection. Changes in Army force structure and the closure of selected military installations affected several Army museums, making an updated version necessary. In this well-designed, well-written, and well-organized revised and expanded edition, R. Cody Phillips highlights not only the collections of rare artifacts carefully preserved in more than a hundred Army museums around the country and overseas, but also the respective museum professional development training and educational programs available to the Army and the general public.

Not Available through GPO sales.

On Operational Art, a companion volume to Michael D. Krause's and R. Cody Phillips's Historical Perspectives of the Operational Art, captures the doctrinal debate over the concept of operational art. Edited by Clayton R. Newell and Michael D. Krause, the well-organized anthology presents a snapshot of the development of operational art when the Army's attention was focused on Europe and the Soviet Union. Consisting of original essays by distinguished historians and senior military commanders, to include a prominent German officer, the collection has not only a joint and combined flavor but also a tactical and strategic dimension. Reflecting contemporary thoughts on new developments in U.S. military doctrine and covering significant battles and campaigns from the past, On Operational Art is invaluable as a frame of reference for understanding the operational level of war from the insightful commentary on the various aspects of practical application. Those interested in the theory of war will find it useful for studying the evolution of doctrine from theory into practice.

Disaster on Green Ramp: The Army's Response is a powerful story of pain, terror, pride, courage, and compassion. Relying largely on first-person accounts of those involved, Mary Ellen Condon-Rall covers the tragic accident and fireball that brought death or injury to more than a hundred paratroopers at Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina, on 23 March 1994. She then chronicles not only the initial response for treating mass casualties, especially the severely burned, but also the sustained response by the Brooke Army Medical Center's burn unit at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. She ends her gripping account with realistic implications for future crises. Condon-Rall attributes the Army's exceptionally effective response to core principles of regular training, unit cohesiveness, teamwork, and leadership. Being ready for the unexpected was part of Army life, and the heroes of Green Ramp responded the way they would in combat. Along with examples of great courage by those who triumphed over tragedy, the story serves as a case study of appropriate contingency planning and crisis management. Those involved with family support issues, garrison planning, and unit readiness will benefit from this superb work.

FROM THE FULDA GAP TO KUWAIT: U.S. ARMY, EUROPE, AND THE GULF WAR

Stephen P. Gehring

From the Fulda Gap to Kuwait describes how the United States Army, Europe, under the command of General Crosbie E. Saint, supported the coalition's armed response to the 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Iraq. With the changed threat environment of the post-Cold War period as a backdrop, Stephen P. Gehring credits effective planning and preparations in the late 1980s for USAREUR's successful transition in 1990 from a basically static heavy force focused on the defense of Europe to a smaller mobile heavy force capable of deploying rapidly for contingency operations anywhere in the European Command's area of responsibility. This initiative, according to Gehring, had irrevocably launched USAREUR on a new phase in its history. He examines in depth how USAREUR planned, assembled, prepared, and deployed its personnel, equipment, and war reserves to the Persian Gulf to stop and reverse Iraqi aggression, providing the decisive armored units and firepower that proved so critical to the success of coalition operations in Southwest Asia. He also covers contingency and logistical planning, the programs to support the residual community in Europe, and the subsequent redeployment and force reduction. His study of the versatility, deployability, and lethality of USAREUR forces underscores the value of a trained and ready Army, and those now involved in planning and executing Army Transformation will learn much from this remarkable story.

After DESERT STORM: The U.S. Army and the Reconstruction of Kuwait records the U.S. Army's pivotal nation-building role in a post-hostilities environment in Kuwait. Janet A. McDonnell, taking both a topical and chronological approach to a complex story of the largest civil-military recovery operation since World War II, chronicles how both soldiers and civilians, working alongside Kuwaiti volunteers, helped to bring a proud but battered Kuwait and its infrastructure back to life within nine months. To capitalize fully on battlefield success today, military leaders must also plan carefully for similar recovery missions. There is much to learn in this fine thought-provoking account.

A Command Post at War is a unique story about an American field army headquarters and its organization and role in World War II, a perspective that has received little attention by historians until now. David W. Hogan Jr. examines the First Army headquarters's response to the test of army-level command during the period from its activation in October 1943 to V-E Day in May 1945. Focusing on the operational level, the level between the grand strategy of nations and theaters and the tactical combat of corps and smaller units, Hogan analyzes the operations, intelligence, logistical, and administrative functions of the headquarters; the procedures evolved to carry out those functions; and the impact of the personalities and styles of the commander and staff chiefs on the organization. Hogan's volume shows the army headquarters of World War II as a complicated organization with functions ranging from immediate supervision of tactical operations to long-range operational planning and the sustained support of frontline units. It is a valuable case study for military professionals at all levels.

Soldiers Serving the Nation, like its companion volume Portrait of an Army (1991), highlights a representative cross-section from the more than 15,000 pieces of military art in the Army Art Collection, consisting of paintings, drawings, sketches, watercolors, and other media. The selected images provide a powerful record of an Army on the move by focusing on the individual Soldier meeting the nation's needs wherever and whenever required. The artists have captured that sense of duty and personal commitment in portraits and scenes, recording conditions, people, and things that have shaped the Soldier's life. The result is a distilling of experience and emotions, of conditions and places, and of courage and hard work, as rendered in images that move from the particular moment to what has been consistent over time-the long tradition of service rooted in the dedication and inner strength of each Soldier.

Transportation and Logistics, which depicts the fortunes of a U.S. Army logistician in a time of upheaval and deals with the problems of moving troops and supplies to far theaters of war, may be read as a personal tract for the times as well as history. During his firsthand fighting experience in the Pacific and Asia as well as his high-level staff assignments in Europe and Washington, Jack C. Fuson grappled with fundamental issues of transportation and logistics and amassed a lifetime of knowledge in managing the arteries of war. Fuson presents vivid examples of the impact of military transportation on the prosecution of war, all the while reminding us that logistics is the true limitation on strategy and tactics. This incisive account offers many lessons for those concerned with logistic effectiveness and the requirements of mobility in an era of contingency operations.

The Sergeants Major of the Army adds to the growing literature on the Army's Noncommissioned Officer Corps, which has always stood proudly in the front ranks to serve the nation in war and peace. Daniel K. Elder and his fellow contributors tell two stories, an institutional one and a personal one. In the first part of the book they discuss the origin and growth of the Office of the Sergeant Major of the Army, explaining why someone saw a need for such an office and identifying who supported it in its infancy, who made it work, and why it has succeeded as well as it has. In the second part they introduce photographic portraits and biographical vignettes on the soldiers who have occupied this most important post over the past forty years, providing insights into their character, motivations, goals, and accomplishments. The career and life stories of the SMAs are both inspirational and instructive, giving today's soldiers a useful perspective as the Army once again endeavors to transform itself into an even more effective institution.

SLAM, the nickname for S. L. A. Marshall, is a scholarly but readable study of the controversial journalist/combat historian and his influence on the U.S. Army's training and doctrine. Most famous for his assertion that only 25 percent of infantry soldiers fired their weapons in World War II, Marshall became a lightning rod for criticism as he sought to reform the U.S. Army through his writings. The controversy has rarely been addressed as thoroughly as it is by F. D. G. Williams, who portrays a man in the right place at the right time. Marshall applied his group interview techniques to historical use. He developed what is now called after-action review, thereby contributing to the growth of the field of oral history; ensured that tons of primary source documents were preserved; and inaugurated the German officer interview program for collecting critical intelligence for the Cold War. The account reflects not only the experience of one man but also the positive movement by our fighting force, making it a great resource for combat historians today seeking to understand their role and mission.

Black Soldier, White Army is a powerful, unvarnished account of the experiences of the African American 24th Infantry regiment, which was stigmatized for its deficiencies while its accomplishments passed largely into oblivion. William T. Bowers, William M. Hammond, and George L. MacGarrigle reveal that the 24th suffered from a virulent racial prejudice that ate incessantly at the bonds of unit cohesion and that hindered the emergence of effective leadership. The story takes its place in a growing body of literature that details the service of African Americans to their nation. It offers profound lessons for study and reflection by unit leaders in today's Army.

U.S. ARMY COUNTERINSURGENCY AND CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS DOCTRINE, 1860-1941

U.S. Army Counterinsurgency and Contingency Operations Doctrine, 1860-1941, is the first of a two-volume study on the U.S. Army's experience in "small war" situations and the development of low-intensity conflict doctrine. Focusing on the suppression of insurgent or other irregular forces during overseas constabulary and contingency operations from the Civil War years up to America's entry into World War II, Andrew J. Birtle has filled an important omission in military historiography by writing about the underlying theories, concepts, and methods employed in the conduct of myriad unconventional missions with soldiers serving as governors, constables, judges, diplomats, explorers, colonizers, educators, administrators, and engineers. Even though official, codified, written doctrine for counterguerrilla, pacification, and nation-building activities prior to World War II has long been viewed as nonexistent, Birtle uncovers through his meticulous research an evidentiary thread of continuity in the Army's performance and thus maintains that some of the central principles governing such operations were indeed incorporated into official Army doctrinal literature. The events discussed unquestionably occurred long ago, but many of the issues raised by Birtle have enduring relevance for today's Army. People, places, and events may change, yet the fundamental questions involved in suppressing insurrections, fighting irregulars, administering civilian populations, and conducting foreign intervention remain surprisingly constant in this unpredictable world of ethnic tensions and turmoil. By studying how soldiers dealt with these complex issues in the past, Birtle's well-written account offers valuable insights to guide current and future soldiers when called upon to conduct similar operations.

The Inspectors General of the United States Army, 1903-1939, the companion volume to Joseph W. A. Whitehorne's earlier study of inspection practices and experiences during the formative years from 1777 to 1903, continues the saga of the Inspector General's Department and its corps of inspectors during the growth years from 1903 to 1939. This volume is a tribute to the exceptional group of dedicated soldiers who sustained a proud tradition, and those who carry it on will find much inspiration in reading about how the inspection system has evolved and why things are done the way they are.

Soldiers Are Our Credentials: The Collected Works and Selected Papers of the Thirty-third Chief of Staff, United States Army, contains the "raw material" of history-private papers, outlines, rough drafts, and e-mail correspondence prepared by General Dennis J. Reimer during his tenure as Army chief of staff. His collected works provide a useful and reliable starting point for exploring his thoughts and ideas on the major events and issues that occurred while in office from 1995 to 1999. For this reason, James Jay Carafano has selected those papers with the greatest historical significance and organized them chronologically to reveal both the unfolding events and the recurring themes so central to what Reimer calls strategic communications-being clear, focused, and consistent when communicating to the soldiers in the field, to Congress, and to the American people. This important anthology provides a valuable guide to this historic period. Those who choose to follow the trail will come to grips with one of the most remarkable and eventful chapters in the Army's history.

Centuries of Service is the right title for this readable and informative brochure. Since 1775 the United States has grown from a loosely organized confederation of thirteen English colonies to a superpower whose influence reaches around the globe. Over the course of American history, as David W. Hogan Jr. writes, one can truly say of the Army: "When it was needed, it was there," first as the shield of the Republic during its vulnerable early years and later as a means to project power in defense of American interests worldwide. Hogan examines the full range of the Army's contributions: its vital role in the growth and development of the nation, its dedicated efforts to preserve the Union during the Civil War, and its defense of the United States against external threats through to modern day. Because of the ready availability of disciplined and trained personnel, the Army has also been involved in a wide array of nonmilitary assistance/intervention tasks, such as internal improvements, natural disaster relief, economic assistance, domestic order, and a host of other contingencies. The Army answered the call and continues to do so.

JAYHAWK! THE VII CORPS IN THE PERSIAN GULF WAR

GPO S/N: 008-029-00378-3

Jayhawk! The VII Corps in the Persian Gulf War is a highly readable account of the involvement of Lt. Gen. Frederick M. Franks's command in Operation DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM. The arrival of Jayhawk-the historic nickname for corps having the number seven-with its armor heavy forces gave the coalition the offensive option to drive the Iraqi Army out of Kuwait, but the rapid conclusion of the popularly known 100-Hour War with smart bombs, precision-guided weapons, and efficient electronics fostered what Stephen A. Bourque calls the illusion of a simple, almost push-button, operation with a preordained outcome. Arguing that the endeavor was anything but simple, Bourque tells the full story of the VII Corps from its deployment to Saudi Arabia, through its phases of preparation and its offensive against the Iraqi Army, to finally its return to Europe and the United States, in the process bringing alive the scale and complexities involved in assembling, moving, and controlling men and materiel. Bourque's volume captures valuable combat lessons, especially the singular performance of General Franks and the effectiveness of the U.S. Army's technology, training, leadership, and warfighting doctrine. It is a must-read for all soldiers.

The U.S. Army and the Lewis and Clark Expedition, prepared as part of the Army's contribution to the observance of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commemoration (2003-2006), is an engaging account of a stirring and significant event in American military heritage. While most Americans have some inkling of the importance of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, officially designated the "Corps of Volunteers for North Western Discovery," relatively few recognize that it was an Army endeavor from beginning to end. Blending their fine writing skills, David W. Hogan Jr. and Charles E. White tell the unvarnished story of Captain Meriwether Lewis's and Captain William Clark's military mission ordered by President Thomas Jefferson. Lewis and Clark, with twenty-seven other soldiers plus four civilians, two of whom were under contract with the War Department, carried out the president's intent and trekked from the mouth of the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast and back. Hogan's and White's memorable study is evocative of the courage and discipline of the Army today.

The United States Army, in conjunction with the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, cosponsored through 2001 the annual Fletcher Conference to address prevailing and emerging national security issues. Seeking to expand the military's role in the national security debate, Army Chief of Staff General Eric K. Shinseki in 2002 created the Dwight D. Eisenhower National Security Series. Consisting of year-long events and culminating in the Eisenhower National Security Conference, the series has three objectives: to provide an open collegial forum for a candid exchange of views on contemporary and future national security requirements and priorities; to examine and advance ways to focus the instruments of national power more effectively; and to expose mid-level and senior Army leaders to diverse issues, institutions, and perspectives while contributing to the ongoing national security dialogue.

Judge Advocates in Combat is the first narrative history to examine how Army lawyers enhanced mission success during both traditional combat operations and military operations other than war. Frederic L. Borch looks at the years between 1959 and 1996-when the first judge advocate reported for duty in Vietnam and when the last one serving in Haiti returned home to the United States. Relying on hundreds of interviews, Borch demonstrates that during this tumultuous period of complex, politically charged, military ambiguous operations at home and overseas the role of Army lawyers changed dramatically and in the end contributed greatly to overall mission accomplishment. The contingency-oriented U.S. Army has met and continues to meet national security objectives under close public scrutiny, and its reliance on judge advocates as important force multipliers in the full spectrum of military operations will ensure their ongoing transformation.

Humanitarian Intervention is an operational study of the U.S.-led relief effort PROVIDE COMFORT, hastily organized in the spring of 1991 in response to the international outcry to stop the suffering and dying of the Iraqi Kurds who had been brutally suppressed in the aftermath of DESERT STORM and had fled across a mountainous border into Turkey. Gordon W. Rudd documents and describes this challenging operation involving joint and multinational forces. His study validates the capacity of military forces, well trained for war, not only to adapt quickly for humanitarian relief missions without specialized preparation but also to work alongside civilian relief agencies attempting to assist the refugees, requiring significant cooperation between the two groups. Today the potential of the new round of military-led peace operations to reduce turmoil and conflict-and, in effect, contribute to shaping the international environment-is significant, and soldiers now deployed in distant lands amidst unfamiliar people in the service of their nation will find Rudd's instructive perspective and record of the Army's experience invaluable.

The United States Army in Somalia, 1992-1994, covers the period when the United States intervened in the east African country of Somalia to arrest famine in the midst of an ongoing civil war. Ultimately hundreds of thousands were saved from starvation, but unintended involvement in Somali civil strife cost the lives of forty-two members of the armed forces, resulting in the impression of chaos and disaster. Richard W. Stewart in his essay analyzes how a mission that had accomplished so much had ended in such circumstances. Stewart concludes that the military and diplomatic peace operation was doomed to failure because there was no peace to keep: The factions were not exhausted from the fighting and were not yet willing to stop killing each other or anyone caught in the middle. The dedication and sacrifices made by soldiers in that war-torn country provide a lesson in heroism that remains compelling today.

In the face of an uncertain and increasingly complex international security environment that poses an array of daunting security challenges, the United States remains the driving force for peace, prosperity, and democracy. This role demands that the country's leadership not only transform the armed forces for mission-tailored capabilities but also engage in diplomacy across the spectrum of national power to build comprehensive foreign policy solutions. The United States Army, in conjunction with the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, cosponsored through 2001 the annual Fletcher Conference to address prevailing and emerging national security issues. Seeking to expand the military's role in the national security debate, Army Chief of Staff General Eric K. Shinseki in 2002 created the Dwight D. Eisenhower National Security Series.

GPO S/N: 008-029-00388-1

The United States Army in Afghanistan is a powerful story of the first military efforts to strike back at the terrorist organization al Qaeda in the aftermath of its 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Al Qaeda's leader, Osama bin Laden, believed he and his followers living and training under the protection of the Taliban regime in the far-off mountains of Afghanistan were beyond the reach of American arms. Richard W. Stewart in his penetrating essay on the early critical months of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM proves that bin Laden was wrong, chronicling how American, coalition, and allied Afghan units in a matter of months overthrew the Taliban regime and drove the al Qaeda into worldwide flight. His well-balanced story of American resolve, of danger and hardship, and of ultimate victory during the opening days of the Global War on Terrorism is worthy of study, providing critical perspective on how conventional and unconventional forces not only complemented each other's strengths but also compensated for each other's weaknesses.

The Army Family: A White Paper, modeled on Army Chief of Staff General John A. Wickham Jr.'s landmark document covering the historically evolving relationship between the Army and the Army Family from 1775 to 1983, adds to this important story by capturing the dramatic change throughout the culture of the Army from 1983 to 2003. Cognizant of the ripple effect of mutual relationships, Army Chief of Staff General Eric K. Shinseki during his tenure committed to bringing General Wickham's vision and promise to fruition by ensuring what he termed Army Well-Being and then recording the further progress benefiting Army families everywhere in his own white paper. In this equally watershed document General Shinseki provides a historical summary, survey, and assessment of changes since 1983; describes the Army Family and its circumstances through 2003; and discusses new commitments for realizing a seamless Army Family system that unites the Army at large in the midst of meeting new strategic challenges in distant lands. The centerpiece of his holistic approach to Army Transformation is family well-being, in his view a compelling institutional imperative if the Army is to succeed in today's unpredictable world.

Operation JUST CAUSE, one of the shortest armed conflicts in American military history, is also one of the most relevant to irregular missions facing today's soldiers. R. Cody Phillips in trenchant prose discusses the extraordinarily complex U.S. military intervention into Panama in December 1989, covering the strategic setting and salient operational details and concluding with a summary and analysis. On 15 December Panamanian dictator General Manuel Antonio Noriega, already under indictment for international drug trafficking, announced a state of war with the United States. Given the threat not only to U.S. citizens in Panama but also to larger U.S. interests and Canal Zone security, the United States Army took appropriate countermeasures by rapidly deploying thousands of personnel and equipment from distant military installations and then striking with surgical precision and decisive maneuver almost two-dozen objectives within a two-day period. Phillips's compelling story with useful lessons is a tribute to all soldiers, a recognition of the initiative, discipline, training, and esprit de corps they consistently demonstrate while serving their nation in both military and peace operations.

Soldiers' Art From the 91st Infantry Division in Italy, 1944-1945, a rare collection of unsigned sketches and paintings by anonymous draftees and volunteers in the Regular Army, National Guard, and Army Reserve, serves as a window into the world of those who fought to liberate the Italians from Fascism and Nazi occupation. Hidden for decades and rediscovered in the 1990s in the files of the Army Reserve 91st Division (Training Support), this fortuitously preserved collection powerfully captures the destruction, pathos, courage, and sacrifice of the hard fighting in Italy. Clifford F. Porter's narrative places the images from the 91st Division sector in the proper context, thereby resuscitating the 91st's proud history and heritage, and gives visibility to those who had the strength to express what was on their minds and in their hearts. Every new generation of Americans will benefit from reading Porter's fine work.

Sponsored by the Defense Acquisition History Project and the U.S. Army Center of Military History and held in Washington, D.C., on 10-12 September 2001, the Acquisition History Symposium offered a venue to increase the existing base of historical knowledge about defense acquisition matters and to stimulate interest by providing historical perspectives on how the federal government has acquired weapons since the middle of the twentieth century. Consisting of fifteen papers carefully edited by Shannon A. Brown, the anthology also includes Harvard Business School professor J. Ronald Fox's keynote address on a wide range of acquisition-related issues; the full 9/11 transcript of the roundtable discussion on the connections between national security strategy and resource management, which reflects the atmosphere of that fateful day; and ICAF professor B. F. Cooling's closing remarks showcasing the Defense Acquisition History Project as an important historical undertaking, a work in progress, to promote an understanding of how the nation's defenses are forged through acquisition-the foundation of its military strength. It is a volume with thought-provoking lessons and observations from the past that will resonate with today's acquisition professionals.

Historical Perspectives of the Operational Art, a companion volume to Clayton R. Newell's and Michael D. Krause's On Operational Art, captures the doctrinal debate over the evolving concept of operational art-the critical link between strategy and tactics-in the face of the new complexities of warfare and the demands of irregular operations in the twenty-first century. Consisting of fifteen original essays selected and edited by Michael D. Krause in collaboration with R. Cody Phillips, the well-organized anthology presents the collective view of distinguished military historians and scholars that operational art must be adjusted to accommodate the changing circumstances happening around the world, especially when dealing with broad coalitions and alliances in regional environments and at an international level. Soldiers and students of military history will gain a new appreciation for the larger scope of warfare by studying the lessons in this thought-provoking work.

The publication chronicles the various organizations and programs that link the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command with the field army and the application of "space products" to combat since 1986. These include Global Positioning System (GPS) products that enabled field units to locate themselves accurately on the battlefield; satellites that provided warning of hostile missile (SCUD) attacks; and spaced-based mapping and communications systems that supported deployed commands.

"RUCK IT UP!": THE POST-COLD WAR TRANSFORMATION OF V CORPS, 1990-2001

"Ruck It Up!" chronicles the post-Cold War transformation of a traditional tank-heavy corps for the defense of Western Europe to a lighter reaction force readily deployable within the U.S. European Command area of operations. Charles E. Kirkpatrick discusses the changes that affected the Army at large while recording the organizational, technical, and tactical lessons learned by the forward-deployed units in Germany-the U.S. Army, Europe, and its principal tactical formation, V Corps-during post-Cold War operations, including Bosnia and Kosovo. Among the many lessons was how flexible, durable, and functional conventional general-purpose forces were in coping with a range of missions from humanitarian intervention to combat operations. Kirkpatrick lays the essential groundwork to understand the subsequent successes of V Corps, which rapidly deployed to Southwest Asia in 2002 and then conducted U.S. Central Command's main attack during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM in 2003. Those engaged in the task of refining the U.S. Army's organization, roles, and missions, as well as those who wish to gain an understanding of the complexity of post-Cold War operations, will want to review Kirkpatrick's invaluable microcosm of change.

BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA: THE U.S. ARMY'S ROLE IN PEACE ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS, 1995-2004

GPO S/N: 008-029-00420-8

Bosnia-Herzegovina is an informative account of the U.S. Army's role and scope of its peace enforcement activities carried out from 1995 to 2004 in that war-torn country, the scene of the most violent armed conflict in Europe since World War II. The collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the end of the Soviet Empire and its forcible control of Eastern Europe. Yugoslavia also showed cracks in its national structure, despite some forty years of enforced peace and harmony, and its sudden disintegration in 1991-92 resulted in almost a quarter-million deaths and more than a million refugees between 1992 and 1995. In his unmistakably lucid style, R. Cody Phillips discusses the destruction and violence in Bosnia-Herzegovina and chronicles the events leading up to an Army task force's deployment and its successful efforts to stop the fighting and to keep the peace. His absorbing story with useful lessons is a tribute to all soldiers, a recognition of the initiative, discipline, training, and esprit de corps they consistently demonstrate while serving their nation in both military and peace operations.

U.S. Army Counterinsurgency and Contingency Operations Doctrine, 1942-1976, is the second installment in the two-volume study on the U.S. Army's experience in "small war" situations and the development of low-intensity conflict doctrine. As the U.S. government wrestles with tough questions on how to bring peace and stability to countries torn by internal strife, Andrew J. Birtle provides context for these concerns by describing how the United States attempted to suppress insurgencies and build nations during the Cold War. Employing a range of primary and secondary sources, Birtle explains how the Army in the 1950s and 1960s developed a dual strategy that combined military measures with political and socioeconomic reforms. On the military side, he states, doctrine advocated aggressive offensive operations, elaborate intelligence networks, and extensive security measures to drive the guerrillas away from inhabited areas and to secure the population from rebel influence and intimidation. On the civil side, Birtle continues, doctrine called for the implementation of measures to restore the norms of social and economic life; to establish efficient and popular government; and to redress, when possible, the causes of unrest. Birtle uses case studies of counterinsurgency wars in Greece, Korea, the Philippines, Latin America, and Vietnam to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the nation's approach to counterinsurgency. Although the United States' counterinsurgency record was mixed, Birtle shows that the precepts underpinning U.S. doctrine have remained surprisingly constant over the years. By furnishing an in-depth look at how the Army performed its counterinsurgency and nation-building responsibilities during a previous era of global instability, Birtle sheds some needed light on the work that must be done today and tomorrow.

At the start of World War II the U.S. Army turned to Americans of Japanese ancestry, the Nisei, to provide vital intelligence against Japanese forces in the Pacific. This new book, Nisei Linguists: Japanese Americans in the Military Intelligence Service during World War II, tells the story of these soldiers, how the Military Intelligence Service (MIS) recruited and trained them, and how they served in every battle and campaign in the war against Japan. During the war their work remained a closely guarded secret. Even after the war, their contributions were often overlooked. This book fills this gap in our historical understanding.

The purpose of Weapon of Choice is to share stories about Army special-operations soldiers with the general American public, to show what various elements achieved during the war to drive the Taliban from power and to destroy al-Qaeda and Taliban strongholds in Afghanistan as part of the global war on terrorism. The aim is not to resolve Army special-operations doctrinal issues, to clarify or update military definitions, or to be the "definitive" history of the continuing unconventional war in Afghanistan. Rather, the aim is to demonstrate how the war to drive the Taliban from power, to help the Afghan people, and to assist the Afghan Interim Authority rebuild the country afterwards was successfully accomplished by majors, captains, warrant officers, and sergeants on tactical teams and aircrews at the lowest levels.

HISTORY OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY, VOLUME 1: 1942-1962

History of Operations Research in the United States Army, 1942-1962 is the first of three planned volumes, each to cover a different time span, that will eventually be integrated into a single formal volume. Operations research (OR) emerged during World War II as an important means of assisting civilian and military leaders in making scientifically sound improvements in the design and performance of weapons and equipment. OR techniques were soon extended to address questions of tactics and strategy during the war and, after the war, to matters of high-level political and economic policy. Until now, the story of why and how the U.S. Army used OR has remained relatively obscure. This comprehensive history offers important insights into the natural tension between military leaders and civilian scientists, the establishment and growth of Army OR organizations, the use of OR techniques, and the many contributions that OR managers and analysts have made to the growth and improvement of the Army since 1942. The upcoming two volumes will take the story up to modern times. This account should be of interest not only to the Army's analysis community, but also to civilian leaders and military commanders and staff officers at all levels.

THE MARCH TO VICTORY: WASHINGTON, ROCHAMBEAU, AND THE YORKTOWN CAMPAIGN OF 1781

Special Publications
CMH Pub 70-104-1, Paper
2007; 48 pages, illustrations, table, maps

GPO S/N: 008-029-00450-0

This pamphlet provides an in-depth account of the most decisive operation of the American Revolution, examining how the Americans and French moved land and naval forces from Rhode Island to Virginia, where they gained the tactical advantage over their opponents at Yorktown. Although the allied forces quickly surrounded the British army on their arrival at Yorktown, the ensuing siege would not have been as successful if the march from Rhode Island to Virginia had not gone as planned. The movement to Yorktown was complex because it had a combined (French and American) as well as joint (land and naval) aspect. French and American military commanders had to overcome formidable barriers of culture, language, tactical doctrine (American and French forces operated under different sets of war-fighting rules), and national political agendas. No one forgot that a mere fifteen years before Yorktown, the American colonists had seen the French and their American Indian allies as implacable enemies.

This work conveys not only how allied commanders overcame these formidable obstacles, but also shows how the march itself solidified American communities along the route and paved the way for a decisive victory at Yorktown and, ultimately, the creation of an independent American republic.

The first Stryker Brigade, touted as the centerpiece of the post-Cold War Army, underwent a rigorous series of comprehensive tests and exercises over the short span of three-and-a-half years, a period in which our country became embroiled in a war against Global Terrorism. While this publication examines Army Transformation and the development of the Stryker, it focuses primarily on the brigade's combat operations in Iraq from November 2003 to October 2004. The brigade's performance in combat provides the reader with dramatic insights into conflict as well as the Army's ongoing transformation efforts.

This gripping journal of a company commander from 2003 to early 2004 in some of the most dangerous areas of post-Hussein Iraq discusses tactics, techniques, and procedures as they evolved in the struggle to maintain order and rebuild the country. The journal tells of the dichotomy of combat operations versus nation building. It vividly captures the stresses of combat and corresponding emotions as they accumulate over time in a combat outfit. It reinforces the ideal of camaraderie among soldiers and deals with the emotional impact of losing friends in battle. Understanding these could prove invaluable to those who courageously serve our nation and will continue to endure them in this and future conflicts.

Transforming an Army at War examines the origins of the modular concept, the reasons for undertaking it, and the process for developing modular unit designs. The Army had been exploring the notion of modularity since shortly after the end of the Cold War. Modularity, at its most basic, was the idea for creating a pool of standardized, self-contained units - combat, support, and headquarters - that could plug into (and unplug from) unit formations as needed with minimal augmentation or reorganization. A modular force would greatly improve the Army's ability to configure packages of units tailored for specific missions by the regional combatant commands. This would be the most far-reaching transformation of the operational forces since World War II and the most radical since the Pentomic reorganization of the late 1950s. This account of designing the modular force highlights a critical part of the Army's program to prepare itself for an increasingly turbulent world and illustrates the intellectual and organizational resources the service can call on in that effort.

OPERATION JOINT GUARDIAN: THE U.S. ARMY IN KOSOVO

GPO S/N: 008-029-00461-5

The U.S. Army has a long history of conducting irregular operations of almost every nature and size. The Vietnam War (and the larger Cold War of which it was a part) sparked a renewed interest in both counterinsurgency warfare as well as a broad range of "operations other than war" missions. Working in concert with European allies, U.S. forces entered Kosovo in June 1999 with the primary objective of bringing peace to a troubled land where Serbian forces under Slobodan Milosevic had driven out more than 800,000 ethnic Albanians-while an estimated 12,000 were murdered in a wave of ethnic cleansing that horrified the world.

The task, code-named Operation Joint Guardian, proved exceedingly difficult. Organized as the Kosovo Forces (KFOR), the Allies were finally able to enforce a tentative peace by October 1999. But even now, there is no end in sight for the current peacekeeping mission, and the path leading to a larger political solution regarding Kosovo's future has been equally elusive. The Army's mission in Kosovo was significantly different from the warfighting customarily associated with military service, but it was no less important and no less dangerous. This brief study chronicles the origins of U.S. involvement and the peace enforcement operation that followed through 2005.

The period from 1973 to 1995 was one of the most challenging in the history of the United States Army. In an era of rapidly changing technology, sudden shifts in the threats facing the United States, and the need (particularly toward the end of the period) to operate on "short rations," Army leaders faced a number of complex and difficult decisions. Their ability to efficiently sort out the alternatives and find an effective solution was due in no small part to the support provided by Army operations research/systems analysis managers and analysts. This, the third and final volume of the history of operations research/systems analysis in the Army from 1942 to1995, covers the momentous events of the last quarter of the twentieth century and attempts to tell the story of when, where, and how the members of the Army analytical community supported Army decision makers and how the Army analytical community itself grew and evolved between 1973 and 1995.

GPO S/N: 008-029-00490-9

The U.S. Army and Irregular Warfare, 1775-2007, edited by Richard G. Davis, publishes fifteen papers read in August 2007 at the sixteenth Conference of Army Historians, a biennial history conference attended by members of the Army Historical Program, academics from leading colleges and universities, and international scholars from allied nations. The papers selected for this publication are not only the best of those presented, but they also examine irregular warfare in a wide and diverse range of circumstances and eras. Together, they demonstrate how extremism was intimately connected to this type of warfare and how Americans have, at different times in their history, found themselves acting as insurgents, counterinsurgents, or both. The titles of the papers themselves reflect how often the U.S. Army has engaged in such irregular operations despite a formal focus on conventional warfare. Using imperial British and Italian examples, several presentations also underline how the ease of conquering lands is often no indication of the level of effort required to pacify them and integrate them into a larger whole.

Enduring Voices: Oral Histories of the U.S. Army Experience in Afghanistan, 2003-2005, edited by Christopher N. Koontz, is an anthology of sixteen oral histories that chronicle the establishment of Combined Forces Command-Afghanistan. It includes a lengthy interview with Lt. Gen. David W. Barno, the first commander of the new headquarters, in which he discusses the strategic challenges of Afghanistan, the coordination of political and military efforts by his command, and the development and implementation of a counterinsurgency strategy that considered the complexity of the Afghan insurgency. Other interviews record how General Barno's international staff built and ran the command, how subordinate field commanders conducted counterinsurgency operations, and how members of provincial reconstruction teams tackled the arduous work of developing a nation shattered by almost three decades of conflict. Koontz is a historian in the Center's Histories Division.

The lightning campaign that toppled the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq in the spring of 2003 at first seemed to herald the arrival of a new way of war, as Germany's blitzkrieg had done at the beginning of World War II. But the initial victory in Iraq soon devolved into a persistent counterinsurgency conflict reminiscent of the long U.S. effort to pacify the Philippines after the quick defeat of Spain in 1898. In Iraq, American soldiers and their Coalition partners had merely traded one fairly weak and generally conventional opponent for a much more durable, diverse, and determined foe relying on the tactics of the guerilla and the terrorist. This volume focuses on that second and longer campaign of the war in Iraq, but it is not a narrative of the overall course of the conflict. Instead, it provides a soldier’s-eye view of the war in the form of detailed accounts of a handful of battles. Each one illustrates the everyday challenges that America’s soldiers face in a difficult struggle against an inventive and often elusive enemy. Weapons, doctrine, and procedures developed to fight a conventional campaign against a similar opposing force had to be adapted to fit a different type of conflict. The U.S. Army’s combat and support forces have shown both resourcefulness and resilience, while leaders and soldiers in the field have demonstrated the same courage as previous generations called upon to sacrifice in the name of freedom.

Operation URGENT FURY: The Invasion of Grenada, October 1983, prepared by Richard W. Stewart, is an edited extract of Center historian Edgar Raines' larger account of U.S. Army operations on Grenada entitled The Rucksack War: U.S. Army Operational Logistics in Grenada, October-November 1983. The brochure tells the story of the U.S. Army's "no-notice" joint force contingency operation on the island of Grenada. Because of a deteriorating political situation on Grenada after the deposing and execution of the leader of the government by its own military, the perceived need to deal firmly with Soviet and Cuban influence in the Caribbean, and the potential for several hundred U.S. citizens becoming hostages, the Ronald W. Reagan administration launched an invasion of the island with only a few days for the military to plan operations. While the U.S. military's capabilities were never in doubt, the unexpectedly strong Cuban and Grenadian resistance in the first two days of the operation and the host of American military errors in planning, intelligence, communications, and logistics highlighted the dangers of even small contingency operations. As the first joint operation attempted since the end of the Vietnam War, the invasion of Grenada also underscored the problems the U.S. Army faced in trying to work in a joint environment with its Air Force, Navy, and Marine counterparts.

This pamphlet describes the critical role of Army officers who defied the odds and saw this immense project through to completion. They included Col. William C. Gorgas, who supervised the medical effort that saved countless lives and made it possible for the labor force to do its job; Col. George W. Goethals, who oversaw the final design of the canal and its construction and, equally important, motivated his workers to complete the herculean task ahead of schedule; and many other officers who headed up the project's subordinate construction commands and rebuilt the Panama railroad, a key component of the venture. In just seven years, these soldiers, thousands of fellow Americans, and tens of thousands of workers from around the world turned the dream of an isthmian canal into reality. Their success immediately ranked among the greatest peacetime feats of the Army and the nation, and it remains so to this day.

Formed at the turn of the nineteenth century to protect America’s strategic interests in the Caribbean, the 65th Infantry consisted of Puerto Rican soldiers and sergeants and American and Puerto Rican officers. Although in existence for almost fifty years, the 65th had not experienced intense combat until Korea. Despite a lack of previous wartime experience, the regiment did extremely well from September 1950 to August 1951, establishing a solid reputation as a dependable infantry unit. The combat performance of the unit began to slip from the summer of 1951 to the autumn of 1952, when major failures occurred, first at Outpost Kelly in late September and then at Jackson Heights a month later. After the failures at Outpost Kelly and Jackson Heights, the Army recognized that these problems had to be decisively addressed or the regiment’s combat effectiveness would be permanently degraded. The Army reconstituted the 65th as a fully integrated infantry regiment in the spring of 1953. By that June, the regiment had redeemed itself in the eyes of the Army’s senior leadership. The unit’s colors remained in Korea until November 1954, when they returned to Puerto Rico.

Twenty years ago, the Persian Gulf War captured the attention of the world as the first test of the U.S. Army since the Vietnam War and the first large-scale armor engagement since World War II. Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait and his subsequent ouster by the U.S.-led coalition are keys to understanding today’s situation in the Middle East. The coalition partnerships cemented in that initial operation and in the regional peacekeeping operations that followed provided the basis for a growing series of multinational efforts that have characterized the post–Cold War environment. Moreover, the growing interoperability of U.S. air, sea, and land forces coupled with the extensive employment of more sophisticated weapons first showcased in DESERT STORM have become the hallmark of American military operations and the standard that other nations strive to meet.
