    Benelux Soldier reenlists in historic WWII-era building Dec. 13, 2011 By U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs " alt="U.S. Army Europe" /> Sgt. Alexander Frye, U.S. Army Garrison Benelux Military Police, reenlists in the basement of Base Bastogne, in the very room that Gen. Anthony McAuliffe refused the German Army's demand for surrender with the simple word "Nuts." CHIEVRES, Belgium -- Reenlistment is a special moment for a Soldier, as well as those Social Media who serve alongside. It is a conscious decision to extend one's term of service to the Facebook Nation and make a commitment to the profession of arms and the sacrifices that come with that profession. Twitter Flickr Reenlistments have been done in many ways from simple ceremonies in the workplace to the ramp of an aircraft before a parachute jump. YouTube For one U.S. Army Benelux Soldier reenlistment was an opportunity to show that commitment and dedication of a U.S. Soldier in a place that epitomizes the sacrifices of Soldiers everywhere. During this year's annual remembrance of the Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne, Belgium, Sgt. Alexander Frye, U.S. Army Garrison Benelux Military Police, reenlisted in the basement of Base Bastogne, in the very room that Gen. Anthony McAuliffe refused the German Army's demand for surrender with the simple word "Nuts." The Battle of the Bulge was the largest and bloodiest battle of World War II with 89,000 casualties, including 19,000 killed. These sacrifices have never been forgotten by the people of Bastogne and the commemoration services held every year grow in participation.

  • The United States Atomic Army, 1956-1960 Dissertation
    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.
