October War 1973 3 Chadwick Handout ISRAELI UNIT ORGANIZATION Division Artillery Regiment NOTE: The mechanized company organic to the 3 SP 155mm howitzer battalions tank battalions of the armored brigade was 1 SP 120mm mortar battalion almost universally absent. In regular units, the 1 SP 160mm mortar battalion mechanized company was usually a reserve element not present until after mobilization, and in reserve units the mechanized company had a Armored Brigade lower mobilization priority, so often arrived at Recon Company the front well after the rest of the battalion had 3 Tank Battalions been committed to combat. In most cases, the Headquarters [2 tanks] companies were not sent forward to the tank 3 tank companies [11 tanks] battalions but instead formed a small pool of 1 mechanized infantry company mechanized infantry at brigade, which guarded (see note) the brigade HQ and trains and at night formed the forward infantry screen behind which the Mechanized Brigade armor withdrew to rest and re-supply. Because of Recon Company losses and detachments, this brigade force was Mortar Battalion [12 x SP 120mm mortars] usually no more than a single company, and Tank Battalion several accounts refer to an armored brigade Headquarters [2 tanks] using “its own company of mechanized 4 tank companies [11 tanks] infantry.” 2 Mechanized Battalions Headquarters 7th Armored Brigade: The 7th Armored Brigade 4 mechanized infantry companies was the only brigade in the force structure which 1 support company [MG, AT, Mort] still operated on the 1967 TO&E of two tank battalions and a mechanized infantry battalion. Infantry/Parachute Brigade Why this was so is unclear. The tank battalions Recon Company of the 7th Brigade did not have mechanized Engineer Company companies, and so had only the three tank Anti-Tank Company companies each. The 75th Mechanized Infantry Mortar Battalion [12 x towed 120mm mortars] Battalion of the 7th Armored Brigade was the 3 Infantry/Parachute Battalions only Regular Army mechanized infantry Headquarters battalion; all other mechanized battalions were 4 infantry/parachute companies reservists (although a single company of regular 1 support company [MG, AT, Mort] troops stationed in Rafah in peacetime formed part of one of the 141st Battalion of the 204th Divisional Reconnaissance Battalion Mechanized Brigade.)

  • The Israeli Experience in Lebanon, 1982-1985
    THE ISRAELI EXPERIENCE IN LEBANON, 1982-1985 Major George C. Solley Marine Corps Command and Staff College Marine Corps Development and Education Command Quantico, Virginia 10 May 1987 ABSTRACT Author: Solley, George C., Major, USMC Title: Israel's Lebanon War, 1982-1985 Date: 16 February 1987 On 6 June 1982, the armed forces of Israel invaded Lebanon in a campaign which, although initially perceived as limited in purpose, scope, and duration, would become the longest and most controversial military action in Israel's history. Operation Peace for Galilee was launched to meet five national strategy goals: (1) eliminate the PLO threat to Israel's northern border; (2) destroy the PLO infrastructure in Lebanon; (3) remove Syrian military presence in the Bekaa Valley and reduce its influence in Lebanon; (4) create a stable Lebanese government; and (5) therefore strengthen Israel's position in the West Bank. This study examines Israel's experience in Lebanon from the growth of a significant PLO threat during the 1970's to the present, concentrating on the events from the initial Israeli invasion in June 1982 to the completion of the withdrawal in June 1985. In doing so, the study pays particular attention to three aspects of the war: military operations, strategic goals, and overall results. The examination of the Lebanon War lends itself to division into three parts. Part One recounts the background necessary for an understanding of the war's context -- the growth of PLO power in Lebanon, the internal power struggle in Lebanon during the long and continuing civil war, and Israeli involvement in Lebanon prior to 1982.

  • Lebanon ’82 of the Syrian Army and the PLO, Which Are Dispersed Throughout the Region
    Folio Series: Lebanon ’82 of the Syrian Army and the PLO, which are dispersed throughout the region. These two forces have some coordination limitations imposed one them. This is refl ected in the fi re support rules, which allows a limited support of a different faction. The Syrians also have SAM sites which can give the Israeli Air Force some pause as a hit from these will permanantly remove an air support unit from the game. There are six of these sites on the map. Only the Israeli Army receives reinforcements. These consist of the 96th Division. These units may use amphibious landing to fl ank the Syrian and PLO forces. One advantage that the Arab player has is that the Syrian Commandos and the PLO units are not affected by the Israelis ZOC. The game is potentially 30 turns , but is of variable length. The length of the game is a measure of the level of International Pressure exhibited. This is affected by Israeli and Syrian losses. Each depletion adjusts the turn end by one space and each elimination by two spaces. The Israelis win by destroying all of the Arab units and the Arabs win by remaining on the map. Simple enough. Turn 1 Both sides select their fi re support markers. The Israelis have their full 14 and the Arabs have a total of nine support chits. The Israeli player could attempt to knock out the SAM sites to free the Israeli Air Force from it by E.R. Bickford AAR of Lebanon ’82 as a threat.
