  • Memorial Day 2021
    MEMORIAL DAY 2021 Virgil Poe and RC Pelton This article is dedicated to the families and friends of all soldiers, sailors and Marines who did not survive war and those who did survive but suffered with battle fatigue Shell Shock, or PTSD . Virgil Poe served in the US ARMY DURING WORLD WAR ll. HE WAS IN THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE AS WAS MY UNCLE LOWELL PELTON. As a teenager, Virgil Poe, a 95 year old WWII veteran served in 3rd army and 4th army in field artillery units in Europe (France, Belgium Luxemburg, and Germany) He recently was awarded the French Legion of Honor for his WWII service. Authorized by the President of France, it is the highest Military Medal in France. After the war in Germany concluded, he was sent to Fort Hood Texas to be reequipped for the invasion of Japan. But Japan surrendered before he was shipped to the Pacific. He still calls Houston home. Ernest Lowell Pelton My Uncle Ernest Lowell Pelton was there with Virgil during the battle serving as a Medic in Tank Battalion led by General Gorge Patton. During the battle he was wounded while tending to 2 fellow soldiers. When found they were both dead and Lowell was thought dead but still barely alive. He ended up in a hospital in France where he recovered over an 8-month period. He then asked to go back to war which he did. Lowell was offered a battlefield commission, but declined saying, I do not want to lead men into death. In Anson Texas he was called Major since all the small-town residents had heard of his heroism.

  • A COUNTRY at WAR the ORIGIN, EVOLUTION, and FUTURE of CIVIL-MILITARY RELATIONS in the UNITED STATES by Joseph Luis Harper Viñas
    A COUNTRY AT WAR THE ORIGIN, EVOLUTION, AND FUTURE OF CIVIL-MILITARY RELATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES by Joseph Luis Harper Viñas A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland December 2018 © 2018 Joseph Luis Harper Viñas All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to study the erosion of civil-military relations in the United States in order to determine whether it affects national security. The overall construct is regarding civil-military relations, not only between civilian and military government officials, but also those relationships with the citizenry in the United States. In order to study this, civil-military relations will be looked at through three different lenses. First of all, it is important to learn about the origins of civil-military relations in the United States and what the Founding Fathers thought of these relations. In order to do this, a look at the separation of powers between the Executive and Legislative branches of government will be examined, as well as what the Founding Fathers felt regarding having a standing army in the United States during times of peace. The second point regarding these relations will be studied by looking at the evolution of civil-military relations with regards to the civil-military gap. Accession numbers provided by the Department of Defense will be analyzed in order to determine if the US military is representative of its citizens. Accession numbers from the post-Vietnam all volunteer force up until recent times will be used.

  • From Stalingrad to Khe Sanh: Factors in the Successful Use of Tactical Airlift to Support Isolated Land Battle Areas
    From Stalingrad to Khe Sanh: Factors in the Successful Use of Tactical Airlift to Support Isolated Land Battle Areas Dr. David K. Vaughan, Air Force Institute of Technology Major James H. Donoho, Air Combat Command In the last several years, the U. S. Air Force has provided key aerial logistics support for a number of relatively isolated locations where the threat of hostile fire has existed, including Tuzla and Mogadishu. Our airlift forces have been fortunate in that they have been able to conduct their operations into these remote locations successfully and, for the most part, safely. In crucial situations, necessary supplies—ammunition, food, fuel, equipment—are usually delivered by tactical airlift aircraft. From the earliest days, tactical airlift has tried to keep the losses small while delivering the greatest amount of supplies to the people who need it. Unfortunately, in spite of the best intentions of operational planners, that goal is not easily achieved. An examination of three instances should help to illustrate this fact and to suggest some essential aspects of successful tactical airlift in crisis situations. Three twentieth century land battles stand out for the role played by tactical airlift in affecting the outcome: the battle for Stalingrad in 1942-43, the siege at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, and the attack on Khe Sanh in 1968. In each of these three cases, the units under siege were located at some distance (100-200 miles) from their supply bases. Attempts were made in each situation to supply the besieged units through the use of airlift. In each case, the duration of the airlift support effort was about two months.

This prehistoric man kept the fire going by piling up the moss for cooking and warmth. As man evolved, he invented hunting tools to kill animals, such as the Woolly Mammoth and other fur bearing animals for their skins to make clothes and their meat for food. Roving bands of people attempted to barter for the things they needed or sometimes took the materials they wanted by harming or killing the opposing party. Eventually, mankind learned to cultivate crops allowing him to settle in farms to provide food for his family. With these beginnings of civilization, leaders and councils were picked to organize communities and make decisions for the betterment of the citizenry. The leaders formed governments and declared certain regions for themselves; forming kingdoms, granting councils the ability to make laws, and enforce regulations.

  • Law at War: Vietnam, 1964-1973
    YIETMM STUDIES LAW AT WAR: VIETNAM * 1964-1973 by Major General George S. Prugh DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY WASHINGTON, D.C., 1975 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 74-3 1399 First Printing For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402 -Price $2.30 StockNumber0820-00531 The United States Army has met an unusually complex challenge in Southeast Asia. In conjunction with the other services, the Army has fought in support of a national policy of assisting an emerging nation to develop governmental processes of its own choosing, frpe of outside coercion. In addition to the usual problems of waging armed conflict, the assignment in Southeast Asia has required superimposing the imniensely sophisticated tasks of a modern army upon an under- developed environment and adapting them to demands covering a wide spectrum. These involved helping to fulfill the basic needs of an agrarian population, dealing with the frustrations of antiguerrilla operations, and conducting conventional campaigns against well- trained and determined regular units. Although this assignment has officially ended, the U.S. Army must prepare for other challenges that may lie ahead. While cognizant that history never repeats itself exactly and that no army ever profited from trying to meet a new challenge in terms of the old one, the Army nevertheless stands to benefit immensely from a study of its experience, its shortcomings no less than its achievements. Aware that some years must elapse before the official histories will provide a detailed and objective analysis of the experience in South- east Asia, we have sought a forum whereby some of the more salient aspects of that experience can be made available now.

Launched by the North Vietnamese Army on 30 January, the coordinated attack against thirteen different provincial capitals throughout South Vietnam took Americans and South Vietnamese by surprise. The result was a costly, long campaign that ended in a hard –fought military victory for the United States and South Vietnamese. However, the outcome of the campaign had a significantly negative impact on support for the war in the United States, from which the nation would not fully recover.

  • Air America in South Vietnam I – from the Days of CAT to 1969
    Air America in South Vietnam I From the days of CAT to 1969 by Dr. Joe F. Leeker First published on 11 August 2008, last updated on 24 August 2015 I) At the times of CAT Since early 1951, a CAT C-47, mostly flown by James B. McGovern, was permanently based at Saigon1 to transport supplies within Vietnam for the US Special Technical and Economic Mission, and during the early fifties, American military and economic assistance to Indochina even increased. “In the fall of 1951, CAT did obtain a contract to fly in support of the Economic Aid Mission in FIC [= French Indochina]. McGovern was assigned to this duty from September 1951 to April 1953. He flew a C-47 (B-813 in the beginning) throughout FIC: Saigon, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Vientiane, Nhatrang, Haiphong, etc., averaging about 75 hours a month. This was almost entirely overt flying.”2 CAT’s next operations in Vietnam were Squaw I and Squaw II, the missions flown out of Hanoi in support of the French garrison at Dien Bien Phu in 1953/4, using USAF C-119s painted in the colors of the French Air Force; but they are described in the file “Working in Remote Countries: CAT in New Zealand, Thailand-Burma, French Indochina, Guatemala, and Indonesia”. Between mid-May and mid-August 54, the CAT C-119s continued dropping supplies to isolated French outposts and landed loads throughout Vietnam. When the Communists incited riots throughout the country, CAT flew ammunition and other supplies from Hanoi to Saigon, and brought in tear gas from Okinawa in August.3 Between 12 and 14 June 54, CAT captain
