    BATTLE-SCARRED AND DIRTY: US ARMY TACTICAL LEADERSHIP IN THE MEDITERRANEAN THEATER, 1942-1943 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Steven Thomas Barry Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Allan R. Millett, Adviser Dr. John F. Guilmartin Dr. John L. Brooke Copyright by Steven T. Barry 2011 Abstract Throughout the North African and Sicilian campaigns of World War II, the battalion leadership exercised by United States regular army officers provided the essential component that contributed to battlefield success and combat effectiveness despite deficiencies in equipment, organization, mobilization, and inadequate operational leadership. Essentially, without the regular army battalion leaders, US units could not have functioned tactically early in the war. For both Operations TORCH and HUSKY, the US Army did not possess the leadership or staffs at the corps level to consistently coordinate combined arms maneuver with air and sea power. The battalion leadership brought discipline, maturity, experience, and the ability to translate common operational guidance into tactical reality. Many US officers shared the same ―Old Army‖ skill sets in their early career. Across the Army in the 1930s, these officers developed familiarity with the systems and doctrine that would prove crucial in the combined arms operations of the Second World War. The battalion tactical leadership overcame lackluster operational and strategic guidance and other significant handicaps to execute the first Mediterranean Theater of Operations campaigns. Three sets of factors shaped this pivotal group of men. First, all of these officers were shaped by pre-war experiences.

  • CAMP HOOD KILLEEN, TEXAS SELECTION of SITE, Aind
    1 CAMP HOOD KILLEEN, TEXAS SELECTION OF SITE, AiND CONSTRUCTION The Tank Destroyer Tactical and Firing Center was activated at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, 1 December. 1941. The mission of the center was to devise methods of combating the German Panzer divisions. This mission, included organizing tank destroyer units, training troops in this type warfare, selecting weapons and ammunition capable of knock• ing out enemy tanks, and designing gun mounts best suited for tank destroyer tactics. In the beginning, detailed planning and a tremendous amount of research was necessary in order to accomplish this very import• ant mission. Selecting a Camp Site: The necessity of securing a suitable camp, to take care of the expansion that was foreseen, soon became apparent. Several proposed sites were inspected by Colonel Andrew D. Bruce, command• ing officer of the center, and officers from the War Department and the Corps of Engineers. All were rejected for various reasons with the exception of an area northwest of Killeen, Texas, which was favorably considered pending proof of an adequate water supply. The tests which were made proved the water supply entirely sufficient. Area Northwest of Killeen, Texas Ideal: It was of primary importance in considering a camp site to find an area best suited for the training and supplying of the troops that were to occupy the camp. The area north• west of Killeen, Texas, was found to be ideally suited for the type of training required for tank destroyer units, providing.excel lent maneuver grounds and ideal range facilities. It possessed a variety of contours, open fields, wooded areas, slopes, and sharply cut stream lines.

Lewis, Ph.D. ________________________________ Co-Chair: Theodore A. Wilson, Ph.D. Date approved: 06 December 2016 iii Abstract In late spring, 1941, a small group of U.S. Army officers traveled to Britain to plan for Anglo-American cooperation if and when the U.S. entered World War II. Because the United States was still a neutral country and to prevent potential enemies from knowing the group's purpose, the U.S. Army called its mission to Britain the "U.S. Army Special Observer Group" (SPOBS). From May, 1941 until June, 1942, SPOBS (known as U.S. Army Forces in the British Isles or USAFBI after January 8, 1942) developed plans with the British for establishing U.S forces in the British Isles. Changing strategic conditions however, made much of this work obsolete. As a result, the Allies had to develop new plans for establishing U.S.

  • MARSHALL INTERVIEWS in 1956-57 General Marshall Recorded on Eape Some Forty Hours of Answers and Comments in Response to Questions Submitted by Me
    MARSHALL INTERVIEWS In 1956-57 General Marshall recorded on eape some forty hours of answers and comments in response to questions submitted by me. This material was recorded in sessions at the Pentagon, at Leesburg, and at Pinehurst. Some of the comnients were recorded without my being present, with his orderly, Sergeant William Heffner, run- ning the machine. In addition, General Marshall talked to me about fifteen hours without a tape recorder. Part of the comments in these sessions was recorded by his secretary, Miss Mary Louise Spilman, and part by me. The interviews and this biography began with a project first suggested in 1951by friends and admirers of General Marshall. In 1953 a group of graduates of his alma mater, the Virginia Military Institute, headed by the late John C. Hagan. Jr , estab- lished the George C. Marshall Research Foundation to collect material on the Gen- eral’s career which would furnish information for a definitive biography and for numerous special studies on the period in which Marshall served as soldier and statesmen. Earlier the group had been assured of the backing of President Harry S. Truman in the collection of documents and the development of a Research Center.
