Guerrilla in The Brazilian Amazon by Colonel Alvaro de Souza Pinheiro, Brazilian Army commentary by Mr. William W. Mendel Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. July 1995 Acknowledgements The authors owe a debt of gratitude to Marcin Wiesiolek, FMSO analyst and translator, for the figures used in this study. Lieutenant Colonel Geoffrey B. Demarest and Lieutenant Colonel John E. Sray, FMSO analysts, kindly assisted the authors with editing the paper. PRÉCIS Colonel Alvaro de Souza Pinheiro discusses the historical basis for Brazil's current strategic doctrine for defending the Brazilian Amazon against a number of today's transnational threats. He begins with a review of the audacious adventure of Pedro Teixeira, known in Brazilian history as "The Conqueror of the Amazon." The Teixeira expedition of 1637 discovered and manned the principle tributaries of the Amazon River, and it established an early Portuguese- Brazilian claim to the region. By the decentralized use of his forces in jungle and riverine operations, and through actions characterized by surprise against superior forces, Captain Pedro Teixeira established the Brazilian tradition of jungle warfare. These tactics have been emulated since those early times by Brazil's military leaders. Alvaro explains the use of similar operations in Brazil's 1970 counterguerrilla experience against rural Communist insurgents. The actions to suppress FOGUERA (the Araguaia Guerrilla Force, military arm of the Communist Party of Brazil) provided lessons of joint military cooperation and the integration of civilian agency resources with those of the military.

  • Aussie Manual
    Fighting for Oz Manual for New Troops in the Pacific Theater of Operations © John Comiskey & Dredgeboat Publications, 2003 The Australian Imperial Force (AIF) When World War II began, Australia answered the call. Many of the men volunteering to fight had fathers that fought in World War I with the five divisions of the First AIF in the Australia-New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs). As a recognition of the achievements of the ANZACs in World War I, the Second AIF divisions began with the 6th Division and brigades started with the 16th Brigade. At the beginning of the war, only the 6th Division was formed. Two brigades of the 6th went to England, arriving in January 1940. The third brigade of the 6th was sent to the Middle East. The disaster in France that year drove more Australians to volunteer, with the 7th, 8th and 9th Divisions formed in short order. The 9th Division was unique in this process The Hat Badge of the AIF.

The 2/13th Battalion The 2/13th Battalion was originally assigned to the 7th Division, but was transferred to the new 9th Division while in the Mediterranean. The 9th Division fought hard in the Siege of Tobruk (April-December 1941), earning the sobriquet “The Desert Rats.” The 2/13th Battalion was unique in that they were in Tobruk for the eight months of the siege, the other battalions of the 9th being replaced with other Commonwealth troops.

  • The Pentomic Era: the US Army Between Korea and Vietnam
    O LF~ Uv~ L,S\~ TH E U.S. ARMY BETWEEN KOREA AN D Vl ETNAM The Davy Crockett weapon system (Heavy), XM-29, de- picted on the cover, employed a 150-pound rocket- propelled nuclear warhead designed to provide a battlefield nuclear capability for the Army tactical com- bat battalion commander. Fielded in 1961, when the Army's nuclear enthusiasm was still high, Davy Crockett looked like a large recoilless rifle and could loft a minia- ture atomic warhead to a range of 1.25 miles. It is thought by some observers to be typical, even symbolic, of the Army's Pentomic Era. Cover artwork by Laszlo L.

  • 41St INFANTRY DIVISION 1943-1945
    41st INFANTRY DIVISION, 1943-1945 19,600 pages (approximate) Boxes 960-984 The 41st Infantry Division, nicknamed the ―Jungleers‖ and previously called the Sunset Division, was activated on September 16, 1940 from the National Guard Division of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. It served in the Pacific theatre during the Second World War and participated in the New Guinea, Southern Philippines, and Papuan campaigns. The Division also served on occupation duty for a brief period of time but only rarely throughout the war did it operate as a complete unit. Its three infantry regiments (162nd, 163rd, and 186th), supported by other organic elements, were most often detached on separate operations and in many cases took on the designation of a specified task force. In order the clarify confusion and necessarily arises from such operational and organizations complexity, an attempt has been made in the chronology section to document the assignment and designation changes for the three regiments. The bulk of the collection is made up of histories, operations reports and separate journal and periodic report files. In addition the collection contains a large number of maps, overlays, and photographs. The maps detail areas of New Guinea, Southern Philippines, and Japan. A good portion of the photographs are aerial views. Both maps and photographs are fairly well scattered throughout the collection as are a small number of documents originated by the Australian forces, mostly in material related to the Papuan and New Guinea campaigns. Documentation of the unit’s history varies considerably from period to period. The first document in the series provides an overview of the time period, 1941-1945, but other than that there is no record of the Division’s stateside duty and only a few items related to the training periods in Australia.
