  • 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.

    Korean War Timeline America's Forgotten War By Kallie Szczepanski, About.com Guide At the close of World War II, the victorious Allied Powers did not know what to do with the Korean Peninsula. Korea had been a Japanese colony since the late nineteenth century, so westerners thought the country incapable of self-rule. The Korean people, however, were eager to re-establish an independent nation of Korea.

  • Our Heroes and Heroines Deserve a War Memorial: Discuss
    Our heroes and heroines deserve a war memorial: Discuss By Eyassu Ephraim: London UK Recently the Ethiopia National Defence Force have celebrated their colourful annual day. On that occasion, ETV broadcasted the “Documentary on PM Meles and his immense contribution as a military strategist on top of his political leadership role building the new Ethiopia!1” under the title of Meles Ende Wetaderawi Mehandis2. From this documentary we learn so much about Meles and his exceptional ability of overall leadership. According to the documentary and the testimony presented by his comrades, His Excellency Addisu Legese and others praised his unequivocal military skill. One of Meles’ leadership skills was to shine by postulating a new military science according to time, place and need. The best aspect of his military leadership is, unlike his predecessors, his ability to produce an original military doctrine unique to Ethiopia, arguably unique in world military history. Undoubtedly his military skill and strategy have led to unprecedented victory over the Derg, Eritrea and Somalia. If this was not the case, we would not be what we are today. Here I raise my hat to his skill, legacy and to our National Defence Force. Having said that, my main interest is not to discuss the Ethiopian National Defence Day or Meles military leadership skill; instead as I have indicated in the title of this article I would like to state a few points on the issue of our obligation as a nation to remember and commemorate our heroes and heroines. In fact I have raised this issue at the Ethiopian Embassy in London when His Excellency Dr.

    Coming to South Korea’s Aid: The Contributions of the UNC Coalition Terence Roehrig1 U.S. Naval War College ABSTRACT Soon after the North Korean invasion on June 25, 1950, the United Nations Security Council called for assistance to defend the South. Though South Korea and the United States carried the vast majority of the responsibility and costs of the war, 15 countries provided direct military assistance to the UN effort in Korea. This article examines the motivations and contributions of these 15 countries that joined the United States and South Korea in the United Nations Command. Keywords: Korean War, United Nations Command, NATO, South Korea International Journal of Korean Studies · Vol. XV, No. 1 63 Introduction On June 25, 1950, North Korean troops and tanks rolled across the 38th parallel in a bid to reunify the peninsula. After receiving word of the invasion, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) passed a resolution that called for a halt to the hostilities and for North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea – DPRK) to withdraw its forces back across the 38th parallel. When it was clear that Pyongyang would not heed the UN call, the Security Council passed another resolution that called on members to provide assistance to repel the North Korean attack and restore peace and security in Korea. Subsequently, the UN formed the United Nations Command (UNC) to organize member contributions for the UN response to North Korean aggression, and authorized the United States to take the lead of the UNC. Many countries offered assistance of some type, but in the end, a total of 16 countries sent military assistance to join the UNC in defending South Korea.
