Socjaldemokracja Królestwa Polskiego i Lit- wy ] almost immediately made contact with Polish soldiers dispersed in the Russian Army, as well as serving in the Polish Rifle Division being part of the Army. The stimulus to take the action came from the example of the Bolshevik fraction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (bolsheviks) [RSDLP(b), rus. Российская социал-демократическая рабочая партия (большевиков) – РСДРП(б) , transl. Rossiyskaya sotsial-demokraticheskaya rabochaya partiya (bol ʹševiko ́v) ], which appreciated the importance of soldiers’ favor for radical revolutionary slogans, and developed intense activity among soldiers. Russian Bolsheviks established a special agitation structure, colloquially called Wojenka , whose office at the Central Committee of the RSDLP(b) served as the management of the military organizations’ network responsible for propaganda. Within the scope of Wojenka’s impact there were also the most radical groups of Polish soldiers. Through the latter, and later also directly on the 1 The abbreviations used in the monograph are provided in their English versions, for their easier identification in source materials and other publications. 11 basis of their own members’ ranks of the Polish radical left wing, an intensive action was developed for creating Polish revolutionary formations and against the Polish Corps 2 in Russia established under the auspices of the National-Democratic Party [NDP, pol. Stronnictwo Narodowo-Demokratyczne ]. Promoted in Russia after the Bolshevik revolution by some activists of the SDKPL and the PSP – Left, the idea of creating “Polish workers and peasants formations” initially received moderate attention from Polish military circles. This attitude was observed both among those who were still in active service, as well as among their demobilized companions. The widespread pacifist attitude among Polish military was a serious obstacle in attracting people ready to serve in revolutionary formations. It was previously infused by the very same emigrant radicals who, after November 7, 1917, for a change, had encouraged armed support for the revolution. Hence, it could not surprise that the rate of recruitment to the Polish revolutionary divisions was not too great. The emphasis put by the SDKPL on internationalization of the “red formations” constituted another factor inhibiting the inflow of Poles to them. In such a situation without the support of the Soviet civil and military authorities, any organizational initiatives from the Polish communist circles 3 in Russia had no chance to be implemented. The substantive framework of the undertaken research covers a wide range of issues illustrating the shaping process, the spatiotemporal evolution and forms 2 The 1st Polish Corps was established in July 1917 on the basis of the Polish Rifle Division. 3 By Polish communists before the establishment of the Communist Workers Party of Poland, I mean extremely radicalized activists of SDKPL and PSP – Left. 12 of realizing the military

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.
