  • Benelux Soldier Reenlists in Historic WWII-Era Building
    Benelux Soldier reenlists in historic WWII-era building Dec. 13, 2011 By U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs " alt="U.S. Army Europe" /> Sgt. Alexander Frye, U.S. Army Garrison Benelux Military Police, reenlists in the basement of Base Bastogne, in the very room that Gen. Anthony McAuliffe refused the German Army's demand for surrender with the simple word "Nuts." CHIEVRES, Belgium -- Reenlistment is a special moment for a Soldier, as well as those Social Media who serve alongside. It is a conscious decision to extend one's term of service to the Facebook Nation and make a commitment to the profession of arms and the sacrifices that come with that profession. Twitter Flickr Reenlistments have been done in many ways from simple ceremonies in the workplace to the ramp of an aircraft before a parachute jump. YouTube For one U.S. Army Benelux Soldier reenlistment was an opportunity to show that commitment and dedication of a U.S. Soldier in a place that epitomizes the sacrifices of Soldiers everywhere. During this year's annual remembrance of the Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne, Belgium, Sgt. Alexander Frye, U.S. Army Garrison Benelux Military Police, reenlisted in the basement of Base Bastogne, in the very room that Gen. Anthony McAuliffe refused the German Army's demand for surrender with the simple word "Nuts." The Battle of the Bulge was the largest and bloodiest battle of World War II with 89,000 casualties, including 19,000 killed. These sacrifices have never been forgotten by the people of Bastogne and the commemoration services held every year grow in participation.

  • Study Guide for Band of Brothers – Episode 6: Bastogne
    Study Guide for Band of Brothers – Episode 6: Bastogne INTRO: Band of Brothers is a ten-part video series dramatizing the history of one company of American paratroopers in World War Two—E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne, known as “Easy Company.” Although the company’s first experience in real combat did not come until June 1944 ( D-Day), this exemplary group fought in some of the war’s most harrowing battles. Band of Brothers depicts not only the heroism of their exploits but also the extraordinary bond among men formed in the crucible of war. In the sixth episode, Easy Company is in the Ardennes Forest, outside of Bastogne, Belgium, trying to defend the Allied line against a German counterattack in December 1944. This contest, popularly known as the Battle of the Bulge, sees the Allies face a bitter winter with inadequate supplies of ammunition, food, and medical goods for the long, entrenched battle. The Axis counterattack was ultimately rebuffed, but not without the Allies suffering some 77,000 casualties. This episode is particularly effective in depicting the harsh physical conditions of the war (and might be compared to the German’s struggle to take Stalingrad, in which the losses were much higher). Fighting frostbite and hunger in the foxholes, Easy Company’s trials demonstrate the experience of isolation and boredom of battle. The importance of medical treatment and supplies is also a prominent theme of this episode. CURRICULUM LINKS: Band of Brothers can be used in history classes. NOTE TO EDUCATORS: Band of Brothers is appropriate as a supplement to units on World War Two, not as a substitute for material providing a more general explanation of the war’s causes, effects, and greater historical significance.

  • 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.

    Diagnostic de territoire Décrivez le contexte local et présentez une synthèse d’une quinzaine de pages votre diagnostic de territoire. Caractéristiques géographiques Le territoire du projet d’ADL est composé des communes de Léglise, Martelange, Fauvillers et Vaux-sur-Sûre. Les 4 communes disposent de frontières communes. Ce territoire se situe au Centre-Est de la Province de Luxembourg, à cheval sur les arrondissements d’Arlon, Bastogne et Neufchâteau, et est frontalier avec le Grand-Duché de Luxembourg. Sur un territoire d’une superficie de 412,57 km² cohabitent Martelange, une des plus petites communes de la Région wallonne (30 km²) et Léglise, une commune particulièrement vaste et étendue (173 km²). Vaux-sur-Sûre et Fauvillers se situent entre ces deux extrêmes, avec respectivement 136 et 74 km². Les communes voisines du territoire sont : V Au sud : Attert, Habay, Tintigny et Chiny; V A l’est : Rombach et Boulaide (Grand-Duché de Luxembourg) ; V Au Nord : Bastogne, Bertogne et Sainte-Ode ; V À l’ouest : Libramont-Chevigny et Neufchâteau Le territoire des 4 communes fait partie de la région agro-géographique de l’Ardenne, marquée par la prédominance de zones agricoles et forestières, et de très faibles superficies bâties. Soulignons l’appartenance des 4 communes au Parc Naturel Haute-Sûre Forêt d’Anlier. Elles constituent 50% du territoire du Parc et en sont, en outre, les plus rurales. L'éloignement du territoire par rapport aux grandes agglomérations urbaines est compensé dans une large mesure par un réseau routier étoffé – E411, E25 et N4 - permettant un accès rapide et aisé. Le territoire se trouve entouré de différents pôles (emplois, services, commerces,…) d’importance variable : Arlon, Libramont-Chevigny, Bastogne et, dans une moindre mesure, Habay et Neufchâteau.
