    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.

  • Wead Ethics Instructor; Thm, DMIN Command and General Staff College Ft
    The Evolution of Military Ethics in the United States Army Ethics and morale leadership are topics with which all Soldiers and especially officers should be familiar. After all, ADP 6-22, Army Leadership, specifies that officer will use ethical reasoning in decision making and commanders will establish an ethical climate in their organization. Nevertheless, officers must also understand that they are not alone in maintaining the ethical standards and climates of the military. A number of organizations and branches support ethics in the military, and it is beneficial for Soldiers to be aware of those organizations and what they do. This article will assist in that endeavor." From 1775 to about 1970 ethics education in the United States Army took the form of moral leadership or moral conduct training for enlisted Soldiers and cadets. These moral leadership classes consisted of instruction in the principles of the Judeo-Christian faiths, values, citizenship, 1 and leadership. 2 The subject of the training reflected American values of the time. Much of this education was mandated by commanders. For example, the United States Military Academy had compulsory attendance at chapel until 19733. Officers, being gentlemen, were understood to be morally formed as a result of both their upbringing and education and therefore excused from moral leadership training.4 Two events happened at the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s to change this paradigm. The first was the My Lai massacre and subsequent trial in which 30 officers were implicated in the massacre and subsequent cover up of the atrocities in the Vietnamese village.
