    BATTLE-SCARRED AND DIRTY: US ARMY TACTICAL LEADERSHIP IN THE MEDITERRANEAN THEATER, 1942-1943 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Steven Thomas Barry Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Allan R. Millett, Adviser Dr. John F. Guilmartin Dr. John L. Brooke Copyright by Steven T. Barry 2011 Abstract Throughout the North African and Sicilian campaigns of World War II, the battalion leadership exercised by United States regular army officers provided the essential component that contributed to battlefield success and combat effectiveness despite deficiencies in equipment, organization, mobilization, and inadequate operational leadership. Essentially, without the regular army battalion leaders, US units could not have functioned tactically early in the war. For both Operations TORCH and HUSKY, the US Army did not possess the leadership or staffs at the corps level to consistently coordinate combined arms maneuver with air and sea power. The battalion leadership brought discipline, maturity, experience, and the ability to translate common operational guidance into tactical reality. Many US officers shared the same ―Old Army‖ skill sets in their early career. Across the Army in the 1930s, these officers developed familiarity with the systems and doctrine that would prove crucial in the combined arms operations of the Second World War. The battalion tactical leadership overcame lackluster operational and strategic guidance and other significant handicaps to execute the first Mediterranean Theater of Operations campaigns. Three sets of factors shaped this pivotal group of men. First, all of these officers were shaped by pre-war experiences.

  • Massacre at ​Mỹ Lai: the 504 Lives, and What They Mean Min T Tun
    Massacre At Mỹ Lai: ​ The 504 Lives, and What They Mean Min T Tun Senior Division Historical Paper Word Count: 2,499 1 “The greatest irony and tragedy of all is that our nation, which initiated so much of the revolutionary spirit of the modern world, is now cast in the mold of being an arch anti-revolutionary.” - Martin Luther King Jr. (King Jr.) On the morning of March 16, 1968, around 100 soldiers in Charlie Company were tasked with a Viet Cong search and destroy operation in the village of Sơn Mỹ, nicknamed Pinksville. ​ What happened next was an incident that would go on to be the most infamous event in the entirety of US involvement in the Vietnam War; the sub hamlets of Mỹ Lai and Mỹ Khê were absolutely devastated. An approximated 504 civilians were killed at the hands of US soldiers, many of them while running away from the violence and bloodshed. Women were raped, children mercilessly gunned down. PFC Lawrence M. Colburn, who was a helicopter door gunner, describes seeing corpses piled on each other. He also testified that there were “at least a hundred [corpses]” in a ditch alone (Colburn). The incident alone was not uncovered until late 1969, nearly a year and a half later. In many ways, this massacre was not a first for the far reaches of the US military, and it certainly would not be the last. The Mỹ Lai massacre was a massacre that broke barriers by being the first slaughter to be highly publicized and known, and revealed the crimes committed under the guise of American intervention.

  • EVIL IS GOOD, GOOD IS EVIL Theo Radić
    EVIL IS GOOD, GOOD IS EVIL Theo Radić ∗ J’avoue la vérité lorsqu’elle me nuit, de même que si elle me sert. – Michel de Montaigne, Essais III:v The abuse and manipulation of language to control minds – the highly advanced science of lying – have made horrifying crimes against humanity by the United States in my lifetime go unobserved by the western public. Their mental sluggishness and willful ignorance not only makes this evil possible but bodes even worse crimes in the future. Routine mass-murders of civilians in Vietnam, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan are reported in the news as unfortunate “mistakes” or “collateral damage” by American military, which as we know always serves good. However, Nick Turse has chronicled in painful detail how the highest levels of the US military in Vietnam could “make the killing of civilians into ∗∗ standard operating procedure.” An infamous example of how language was abused during the Vietnam war is the following axiom: “We had to destroy the village to save it.” This upside down logic marks our age with a disturbing normality: evil is good, good is evil. The horrendous crimes against humanity in the Vietnam war were anything but “mistakes” and were routinely carried out with premeditation following the “Mere Gook Rule” – any Vietnamese person (“gook” to American soldiers) was a potential murder victim to enhance what Turse calls the “body-count fixation” that led to promotions, citations and medals of valor. Even murdered Vietnamese children were reported as “enemy dead” to add points in the competion for the highest body-count.

  • Les Geronimo À Carentan
    The Carington News N°9 Novembre 2015 L’autre côté de la bataille ; les Geronimo à Carentan Tous les quatre régiments de la 101st Airborne, ainsi que leurs unités de soutien, ont pris une part active et décisive à la libération de Carentan. Le 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, engagé notamment dans les combats de Basse Addeville, St Côme du Mont et La Barquette, se voit confier le 10 juin la mission de contourner la ville par l’est, via Saint Hilaire Petitville, après avoir traversé la Douve à Brévands. C’est le 3ème bataillon de Julian J. Ewell qui le premier atteint le soir du 11 juin le canal Vire-Taute à St Hilaire. Les troopers y bivouaquent, avant d’entreprendre aux première lueurs du lundi 12 juin la périlleuse traversée des marais en direction de la colline 30. Des canots pneumatiques ont été apportés par les Engineers pour permettre à H/501st de traverser. Le 3/501st avance sur la droite, avec le 2/501st (Robert A. Ballard) sur sa gauche. Les troopers progressent avec de l’eau au dessus des chevilles. C’est le 3ème platoon de H/501st (Captain Felix W. Stanley) qui est en pointe, malgré ses effectifs terriblement réduit par les pertes du Jour J. Les Lieutenant Curran et Herbert sont là, avec les squad leaders Cassada, Tyrrel et le sergent Robert J. Houston, de la section de mortier de 60 mm du bataillon, qui traine seul le tube, la base et 6 obus. Les canots n’inspirent pas confiance, et les troopers décident de traverser en empruntant le pont de chemin de fer seulement partiellement détruit.

  • Avoiding and Reporting Atrocities During The
    NOT JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS: AVOIDING AND REPORTING ATROCITIES DURING THE VIETNAM WAR by CHRISTOPHER JAMES LEVESQUE ANDREW HUEBNER, COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR DANIEL RICHES, COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR KARI FREDERICKSON JOHN GIGGIE JAMES S. OLSON A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 Copyright Christopher James Levesque 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation develops a history of soldiers’ efforts to report war crimes over the course of the Vietnam War. Previous scholarship that addressed this issue largely dismissed GIs who alleged war crimes as political activists, dupes of the media, or individuals seeking forgiveness for their actions in combat. However, these three categories are insufficient to understand the motives leading troops to claim that they witnessed war crimes during their service in Southeast Asia. Nor do they account for how soldiers chose to make their allegations, or how their rationales or methods changed over time. By re-examining the historical record of GI involvement in the antiwar movement, media accounts of soldiers alleging war crimes, and declassified Department of Defense documents, this dissertation presents a new framework for understanding both how and why American soldiers reported atrocities. Soldiers adopted four primary venues when they alleged war crimes in Vietnam: their chain of command, the federal government, the media, or the antiwar movement. Generally, soldiers who remained convinced that the Army’s hierarchy would properly investigate atrocity allegations reported atrocities through their local chains of command. As soldiers became increasingly disenchanted with the Army and the war, they chose more public venues to report war crimes.
