  • 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.

No matter what the media tells us about how messed up America is, no matter what a bunch of college kids with no life experience have to say, things are not falling apart or self-destructing. When all of their self-induced smoke clears, the American flag still waves proudly, standing watch over all of us. It’s ironic that these same spoiled children attending universities paid for by student loans or with money right out of their parents’ pockets are reaping the benefits of the very system they claim to be victims of. How is this possible? EMERSONKNIVES.COM It’s possible because, here in America, you have the right to believe in things and ideas any way you wish.
