The Army continues to ship hundreds of Soldiers to basic training every week, and West Point is adapting its summer training cycle to the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. A critical piece to summer training is the support received from Forces Command (FORSCOM) to help train and mentor the cadets. This year, the academy will begin welcoming a task force of Soldiers from the 3rd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division from Fort Polk, Louisiana, in mid-June. “We are adjusting readiness activities to the COVID-19 operational environment,” said Gen. Michael X. Garrett, commander of U.S. Forces Command. “Supporting West Point summer training is just one example of how we are adapting around the Army.” The task force and the remainder of the corps will arrive staggered to enable the testing of each person for COVID-19 upon arrival.

  • INFANTRY OPERATIONS and WEAPONS USAGE in KOREA Winter of 195031 by S
    by S. L. A. Marshall *.N ?. Commentary On INFANTRY OPERATIONS AND WEAPONS USAGE IN KOREA Winter of 195031 by S. L. A. Marshall The operations of Eighth Army which formed the basis for this study were of the period of maximum reverse and then recovery. The report does not reach back to the initial period when troops were green and our commitments were so limited that there was seldom a chance for an equal fight on local ground. Nor does it extend forward into the period when the fronts became stabilized and positional warfare ensued. It focuses exclusively upon the campaign of the first winter in which 8th Army experienced its greatest and most prolonged stress; the conditions peculiar to that period provide the best opportunity for the clear profiling of weapons, tactical and leadership values in combat against the background of training methods and the armament program. The author of the report developed the post-combat company critique technique in Central Pacific Theater and then applied it in European Theater during World War II. He used the same general method in Korea, beginning with the November battle. The one major change for OR0 purposes was that the method was amplified so as to include more precise detail on the logistics of the infantry fight and place primary emphasis on the fighting characteristics of the new enemy. The commentary is divided into three parts - the behavior of men in the use of weapons, the behavior of weapons as men use them, and the use of information in augmenting fighting power.

  • History of Andrew Jordan Knives
    MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2012 History of Andrew Jordan Knives It is our pleasure to introduce the renowned blade smith Mr. Andrew Jordan. He has graciously agreed to provide a series of guest articles to be published here on Black Scout Survival. Mr. Jordan is a quite professional and allow's his knives to speak for themselves. I hope you all enjoy getting some information from a master at his craft. You can visit his website to view more of his incredible work at www.jordanknives.com HISTORY of my user knives thus far: Black Scout Survival has asked me to write a series of articles for their web magazine. We hope to link this article with another gentleman by the name of Stani Groeneweg, he will author an article in the future for Black Scout Survival. Both articles will support each other in a few aspects. In the last 9 years after my article in the Royal Marine Commando Magazine the GLOBE AND LAUREL. I outlined a design for a modern field knife. I was quite surprised to be allowed to write such an article for them. As we know the Royal Marine Commandos have an ICON as there unit patch “The Fairburn / Sykes Commando Dagger, this of course has a very strong history with them and is still being used by them today. So for a relatively unknown blade smith to come along and write about what he thinks is relevant for a field knife was a great honor for me and my family (More about myself a little later).
