    LiberationLiberation Liberation 65th ANNIVERSARY 2010 By Rona Mendelsohn During the final weeks of World War II, the task of freeing the western por- tion of Czechoslovakia fell to the soldiers of the American Third Army, led by General George S. Patton, Jr. The following article is a day-by-day account of that momentous two-week period, which is clearly etched in the memories of those who lived through it. Many Czech citizens have written to the Ameri- can Embassy, sending photographs and sharing their recollections of those days in great detail. The Embassy thanks them for their generous assistance and valuable information. This account, however, has been compiled from the American side. It was written by Rona Mendelsohn, a professional writer in Washington, D.

  • 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.

  • By James Laxer
    MISSION OF FOLLY: WHY CANADA SHOULD BRING ITS TROOPS HOME FROM AFGHANISTAN BY JAMES LAXER 2 Canadian troops have been fighting in Afghanistan for over five years. This military mission has endured for longer than the First World War and the Korean conflict. If the mission continues for another year, it will exceed the Second World War in duration, to become the lengthiest war in which Canadians have ever fought. To date, 44 Canadians have died in Afghanistan. On a per capita basis, more Canadians have been killed during the mission, than has been the case for any of the other allied countries who have sent forces to Afghanistan. The Harper government has presented the mission to Canadians as combining a military element with the provision of aid to the people of Afghanistan. In fact, in dollars spent, the mission has been ninety per cent military, and only ten per cent reconstruction aid. 3 The Chretien government propelled Canada into the Afghan War with little thought in the autumn of 2001. The mission has since been sustained and extended by the Martin and Harper governments. Despite the brief debate and vote on the issue in the House of Commons in May 2006, this country has had no authentic national debate on the Afghanistan mission. In this 30,000 word long report, I have entered the debate not as an expert on Afghanistan, but as someone with considerable experience analyzing Canadian and American global policies. It is my belief that the Afghanistan mission is a tragic mistake for Canada. If prolonged, the mission will cost many more Canadian lives, 4 without the achievement of the goals Canada and its allies have set for themselves in Afghanistan.

  • Class Narrative Class 16-66 D1 10 February 1966 –12 May 1966 U.S. Army Armor School OCS
    Class Narrative Class 16-66 D1 10 February 1966 –12 May 1966 U.S. Army Armor School OCS Class 16-66, Company D1 was the fifth OCS class at Fort Knox since the OCS course there closed during the Korean War. It was also the first of three Company D1 classes, and the first of three thirteen week Phase I classes that would be sent to Fort Lee, Virginia for Phase II OCS training and commissioning in the Quartermaster Corps. Phase I training cycle for the class started on Thursday 10 February 1966 with 116 volunteers and ended on Thursday 12 May 1966 with 93 graduates being sent to Fort Lee. Five members of the starting class would be recycled to Class 21-66, another Phase I Quartermaster class, and all five would graduate with that class at Fort Knox. Eighteen individuals would either quit or be relieved from the course. Unfortunately there was no news article in the Fort Knox post weekly newspaper about the class completing OCS training at Fort Knox. The 93 individuals sent to Fort Lee started Phase II of OCS training on Monday, 16 May 1966. On Tuesday, 19 July 1966 90 members of the class, re-designated Class 66-16, would be commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the Quartermaster Corps. The Honor Graduate was Richard A. Platt followed by Distinguished Graduates, in order of class ranking, Robert L. Whiteley, Louis Plank, Norris C. Conner and Richard D. Walls. These five individuals received special recognition by having “with distinction” printed in gold lettering on their diplomas.
