    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.

    This Index Lists the Army Units for Which Records Are Available at the Eisenhower Library

    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. ARMY: Unit Records, 1917-1950 Linear feet: 687 Approximate number of pages: 1,300,000 The U.S. Army Unit Records collection (formerly: U.S. Army, U.S. Forces, European Theater: Selected After Action Reports, 1941-45) primarily spans the period from 1917 to 1950, with the bulk of the material covering the World War II years (1942-45). The collection is comprised of organizational and operational records and miscellaneous historical material from the files of army units that served in World War II. The collection was originally in the custody of the World War II Records Division (now the Modern Military Records Branch), National Archives and Records Service. The material was withdrawn from their holdings in 1960 and sent to the Kansas City Federal Records Center for shipment to the Eisenhower Library. The records were received by the Library from the Kansas City Records Center on June 1, 1962. Most of the collection contained formerly classified material that was bulk-declassified on June 29, 1973, under declassification project number 735035. General restrictions on the use of records in the National Archives still apply. The collection consists primarily of material from infantry, airborne, cavalry, armor, artillery, engineer, and tank destroyer units; roughly half of the collection consists of material from infantry units, division through company levels. Although the collection contains material from over 2,000 units, with each unit forming a separate series, every army unit that served in World War II is not represented. Approximately seventy-five percent of the documents are from units in the European Theater of Operations, about twenty percent from the Pacific theater, and about five percent from units that served in the western hemisphere during World War II.

    April 2018 Fifteenth Infantry Regiment “The Old China Hands” www.15thinfantry.org Dear Fellow Old China Hands, I hope all of you have survived winter and are enjoying spring weather, although in many parts of the country winter has been reluctant to relinquish its grip. I attended the 15th Infantry Regimental Ball hosted by 3-15 Infantry at the Savannah Marriott Riverfront on 6 April. It was a great event and you will get the details and photos in the article from the battalion in this issue. I would like to thank LTC Marks and his staff for organizing a wonderful evening that celebrated our Regiment’s unique history, traditions, and heritage. Guest speaker LTG Stephen M. Twitty, former China Six and former B/3-15 IN commander, delivered inspirational remarks on the 15th anniversary of the Thunder Run and TF 3-15 IN’s battles for Objectives Larry, Moe, and Curly. We were joined by Vice President Tad Davis, Mike Horn, CSM Mark Baker, and Korean War veteran Mr. David Mills and his wife Shirley. We were very happy to meet the incoming battalion commander, LTC Arthur McGrue, III, who is coming from 1st Army where he worked for LTG Twitty. He previously commanded B/1-15 IN during the Surge in Iraq in 2007! His military biography is included in this issue. We also met CSM Higley and his wife, Jillian, newly arrived from the Sergeants Major Academy. This command team promises to be another great tandem for the Association to work with. The Ball also fell on the 156th anniversary of the Regiment’s first major battle of the Civil War at Shiloh.
