  • Fighting World War II/EQ: What Military Strategies Did the United States and Its Allies Pursue to Defeat the Axis Powers in World War II?
    Outline Ch. 36 – Fighting World War II/EQ: What military strategies did the United States and its allies pursue to defeat the Axis powers in World War II? 36.1 – Introduction After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States began mobilizing troops for war. Some of these soldiers would end up in Europe, fighting the German army. o First, though, they had to cross the Atlantic Ocean on troop ships, braving attacks by Germany’s deadly U-boat fleet. o Since the start of the war, in 1939, German U-boats had been working to disrupt and destroy Allied shipping in the Atlantic. When the United States entered the war, its Atlantic coastal waters were relatively unprotected. o During the first several months of 1942, U-boats sank dozens of American ships off the Atlantic Coast. o These losses would not continue, however. o As in World War I, the Allies reduced their losses by using the convoy system. By 1943, it was churning out enough ships to replace lost vessels and to defend against U-boat attacks. This new U.S. fleet would play a key role in naval battles and in supporting ground and air forces during World War II. 36.2. – Preparing for War in Europe In late December 1941, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill met in Washington, D.C. Their purpose was to devise a strategy to help the … o Allies [Allies: the countries that fought against the Central Powers during World War I and the countries that fought against the Axis Powers during World War II] o defeat the o Axis powers [Axis Powers: the alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan during World War II] They would concentrate most of their forces on winning back Europe, while initially fighting a defensive war against Japan in the Pacific.

    The Squad Leader Makes the Difference Readings on Combat at the Squad Level Volume I Lieutenant M.M. Obalde and Lieutenant A.M. Otero United States Marine Corps Marine Corps Warfighting Lab Marine Corps Combat Development Command Quantico, Virginia 22134 August 1998 1 United States Marine Corps Marine Corps Warfighting Lab Marine Corps Combat Development Command Quantico, Virginia 22134 May 1998 FOREWORD In combat, the actions of individual leaders affect the outcome of the entire battle. Squad leaders make decisions and take actions which can affect the operational and strategic levels of war. Well-trained squad leaders play an important role as combat decisionmakers on the battlefield. Leaders who show initiative, judgment, and courage will achieve decisive results not only at the squad level, but in the broader context of the battle. Without competent squad leaders, capable of carrying out a commander’s intent, even the best plans are doomed to failure. This publication illustrates how bold, imaginative squad leaders impact the outcome of a battle or campaign. The historical examples here represent some of the cases in which squad leaders were able to change the course of history. In each case, the squad leader had to make a quick decision without direct orders, act independently, and accept responsibility for the results. Short lessons are presented at the end of each story. These lessons should help you realize how important your decisions are to your Marines and your commander. In combat, you must think beyond the squad level. You must develop opportunities for your commander to exploit. Your every action must support your commander’s intent.

Box 21598 | Bakersfield CA 93390 | DECISIONGAMES.COM Excerpt from Strategy & Tactics #50 The Last Strategies By Stephen B. Patrick Germany By December, 1944, the Axis existed only in Hitler’s mind. Accordingly, all strategies were Hitler’s. Germany was fighting on four fronts by this time: the west, Italy, Poland and the Balkans. The last two were nominally one front, but, because the two Soviet drives were basically independent, they had to be treated separately. Hitler’s strategy, such as it was, was one of desperation and wishful thinking. He was convinced that the Anglo-American alliance with the Soviets could not endure. Subsequent events proved him right. What he failed to recognize was that the mutual hatred they bore for Nazism was sufficient to hold the alliance together for the duration of the war. Hitler seemed to have few illusions about Germany’s chances to win the war. He now wanted to settle for destroying Communism. Hitler convinced himself that he could work out an alliance with the Anglo- Americans and the three would then crush the Bolshevik menace. To “encourage” the British and American governments to see things his way, Hitler felt he needed a major victory in the west. He may not have seriously believed he could root the western Allies, but he did expect to deliver a blow that would seriously upset the western timetable. He also hoped to so upset morale at home in the western alliance that the German Panzer V Panther on the Eastern Front, 1944.

One the one hand it seems like a ideal medium to reach to 'generation X-Box' but on the other it seems too much like fun and too little like serious learning, which leads some people to use terms like 'models' or 'simulations' as cover; or as one US army officer said “This is not Dungeons and Dragons we're doing here”1. However, even poker is now becoming academically respectable as a way to teach communication skills. A critical problem with using games in education at any level is that most educators are not gamers. Many of us have played played casual boardgames or the ubiquitous solitaire on our computers, or watched our children playing on the “moronstation”, but we do not know how games “work”. Since computers and games consoles became commonplace, the main focus of gaming seems to be on electronic games like World of Warcraft2 or Grand Theft Auto3 and even if we could understand how to adapt games like those for pedagogically valid use, we know that they are the product of so many hours of programming that most of us will never have the resources to try, nor the skills to mange such a project.
