  • The United States Atomic Army, 1956-1960 Dissertation
    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

  • Chapter 6 the EARLY MODERN BRIGADE, 1958-1972 Pentomic
    Chapter 6 THE EARLY MODERN BRIGADE, 1958-1972 Pentomic Era Following World War II, the US Army retained the organizational structures, with minor modifications, which had won that war. This organization—which did not include a maneuver unit called the brigade after the two brigades in the 1st Cavalry Division were eliminated in 1949—was also used to fight the Korean War in 1950-1953. Despite the success of the triangular infantry division in two wars, the Army radically changed the structure in 1958 by converting the infantry division to what became known as the Pentomic Division. Ostensively, the Pentomic structure was designed to allow infantry units to survive and fight on an atomic battlefield. Structurally it eliminated the regiment and battalion, replacing both with five self- contained “battlegroups,” each of which were larger than an old style battalion, but smaller than a regiment. A full colonel commanded the battlegroup and his captains commanded four, later five, subordinate rifle companies. The Pentomic Division structurally reflected that of the World War II European theater airborne divisions. This was no surprise since three European airborne commanders dominated the Army’s strategic thinking after the Korean War: Army Chief of Staff General Matthew Ridgway, Eighth Army commander General Maxwell Taylor, and VII Corps commander Lieutenant General James Gavin. Though theoretically triangular in design, the two airborne divisions Ridgway, Taylor, and Gavin commanded in the war, the 82d and 101st, fought as division task forces reinforced with additional parachute regiments and separate battalions. For most of the Northern European campaign, both divisions had two additional parachute regiments attached to them, giving them five subordinate regiments, each commanded by colonels.

  • Fort Leonard Wood Missouri
    DCN: 9222 FORT LEONARD WOOD MISSOURI LOCATION Fort Leonard Wood is located in central Missouri, about 120 miles southwest of St. Louis, Missouri, and 85 miles northeast of Springfield, Missouri along the I-44 corridor. The installation occupies the southwestern portion of Pulaski County, with small portions in Texas and Laclede counties. Fort Leonard Wood is located in a predominantly rural area, and is bordered on all sides by portions of the Mark Twain National Forest. Rural areas not included in the Rolla-Houston unit of the Forest are in agricultural use, primarily pasture for grazing. Development of the region adjacent to the installation is concentrated in the small towns of Waynesville and St. Robert located on the northern border of the installation and straddling Business Loop I-44, which was formerly U.S. Route 66. The installation can be divided into two topographic regions known as the Low Plains and High Plains. The High Plains, consisting of gently to moderately rolling dissected surfaces and comprise approximately 80 percent of the reservation. Slopes are largely 8 to 15 percent, but can reach 45 percent and greater along bluffs and deeply incised tributaries. Steep, deeply dissected surfaces are prominent adjacent to alluvial stream valleys in the northeast and western portions of the installation. The Low Plains area is characterized by major stream valleys and a ridge, which traverses the north central to south central portions of Fort Leonard Wood. These areas have level to gently rolling, moderately dissected topography. Slopes are largely between 0 and 3 percent, but may reach 15 percent in moderately dissected stream valleys and the south-central region of the installation.
