    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 19, ISSUE 1 Studies Manifestations of the Egyptian Army’s Actions in the US Army’s 1976 Edition of FM 100-5 Operations Dr. Tal Tovy During the years in which the United States has been entangled in the land war in South-East Asia, the Soviet Union has significantly increased its conventional forces, as well as acquired new weapon systems in the air and on the ground. Against these processes, the United States needed a new doctrine for warfighting against the Warsaw Pact forces in Central Europe. The existing doctrine stipulated that the NATO forces would stop the Warsaw Pact armoured mass and then launch a counterattack. However, if the conventional containment failed, the NATO forces would have to resort to tactical nuclear weapons. It was clear that the use of nuclear weapons would bring about the total destruction of Western Germany, as well as an escalation of the war and massive mutual destruction. Thus, the American strategists, together with the strategic planners of other NATO countries, have looked for ways to contest the conventional ©Centre of Military and Strategic Studies, 2018 ISSN : 1488-559X JOURNAL OF MILITARY AND STRATEGIC STUDIES soviet military power, both quantitatively and qualitatively, while avoiding the use of nuclear weapons. 1 Following the American involvement in Vietnam Army Chief of Staff, General Creighton Abrahams, led dramatic reforms in the US Army. The mighty task to make reforms in the Army was allocated to the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), a new command formed in 1973. This was the year that a new war broke out in the Middle East – the Yom Kippur War, 6-24 October, 1973.

BLITZKRIEG OPERATIONS IN WORLD WAR – 2: A PERSPECTIVE ON BATTLE STRATEGIES AND OUTCOMES AMITABH SAH Indian Revenue Service (IRS) Officer Posted in Delhi, India ABSTRACT The ‘blitzkrieg’ refers to the warfare theories of mobile tactics and holistic armed conflicts which evolved in Germany throughout the interwar period and the Second World War. The basic idea of the blitzkrieg strategy was to speedily inflict defeat on an adversary in a decisive and short war fought by a lean but well trained army while restricting the loss of soldiers and weaponry. In order to achieve these objective, separate independent groups of tanks and mobile infantry, along with coordinating artillery, engineering assets and sufficient air support were required to work in tandem. These tactics gave sudden dazzling victories to the German armies in the early part of the World war-2. The key elements of surprise and audacity employed in blitzkrieg tactics stunned its opponents as they were not prepared for it. However after the initial surprise wore down and also Original Article Article Original faced with opponents who were better prepared and with more strategic depth, the blitzkrieg offences repeatedly failed to give the desired results. It nevertheless left enough influences to impact the military thinking all over the world.

This word has mostly been used to portray a technique of a focused and attacking combat intended to hit the enemy with a quick and calculated blow using active and mobile forces, particularly armour and air support.
