  • Lance Corporal Peter Conacher Died
    Name: Peter Conacher Position: Lance Corporal DOB-DOD: 1919- 9 September 1943 Peter Conacher, Lance Corporal for the Royal Signals 231st Brigade, British Army, died during the period of Allied invasion of the Italian mainland. The Allied invasion of Sicily was to be the first of three amphibious assault landings conducted by the 231st Brigade during the war. The brigade was constituted as an independent brigade group under the command of Brigadier Roy Urquhart (later famous as commander of the 1st Airborne Division which was destroyed at Arnhem in September 1944). After some hard fighting, including the 2nd Devons at Regalbuto amongst the foothills of Mount Etna, the Germans were driven from Sicily and the Allies prepared to invade Italy. The 231st Brigade's second assault landing was at Porto San Venere on 7 September 1943, when the Allies invaded Italy. They were now experienced amphibious assault troops, however during this period Lance Corporal Peter Conacher died. After the September assault, the 231st Brigade became an integral part of the veteran 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division and was recalled to England with the division, to prepare for the Allied invasion of Normandy, scheduled for the spring of 1944. In February 1944 Brigadier Sir A.B.G. Stanier assumed command of the brigade. Peter was remembered by his parents Hugh and Marion Conacher of Dundee. He is buried in Salerno War Cemetery and his name is also recorded on a memorial situated in Dundee Telephone Hse having joined PO Engineering in March 1942. His parents provided a very touching and deeply moving inscription in memory of their son “THOUGH ABSENT HE IS EVER NEAR STILL MISSED, STILL LOVED EVER DEAR”.

  • Introduction to Rifle Platoon Operations B3j3638
    UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS THE BASIC SCHOOL MARINE CORPS TRAINING COMMAND CAMP BARRETT, VIRGINIA 22134-5019 INTRODUCTION TO RIFLE PLATOON OPERATIONS B3J3638 Basic Officer Course B3J3638 Introduction to the Rifle Platoon Introduction to Rifle Platoon Operations Introduction The Marine Corps’ warfighting philosophy of maneuver warfare is rooted in the principles of war. The principles of war are useful aids to a commander as he considers how to accommodate his mission regardless of whether it is offensive or defensive in nature. The fundamentals and concepts that relate to the operations of the rifle platoon will be introduced in this class beginning with the offense and then transitioning to the defense. These nine principles apply across the range of military operations including those at the tactical level. They are listed under the age-old acronym, “MOOSEMUSS” (MCDP 1-0 Marine Corps Operations): Mass: Concentrate the effects of combat power at the decisive place and time to achieve decisive results Objective: Direct every military operation toward a clearly defined, decisive, and attainable objective Offensive: Seize, retain, and exploit the initiative Security: Never permit the enemy to acquire an unexpected advantage Economy of Force: Allocate minimum essential combat power to secondary efforts Maneuver: Place the enemy in a disadvantageous position through the flexible application of combat power Unity of Command: For every objective, ensure unity of effort under one responsible commander Surprise: Strike the enemy at a time or place or in a manner for which he is unprepared Simplicity: Prepare clear, uncomplicated plans and clear, concise orders to ensure thorough understanding Importance This lesson will introduce rifle platoon fundamentals, task-organization, and offensive/defensive concepts that will establish a foundation for tactical thought at the platoon level.
