Committee Name Department/School Chairperson Date Yu I3 3 -5 " ABSTRACT The defense establishment of the United States underwent many changes after its magnificent victory in World War II. Budget cuts and a rapid demobilization that President Truman described as "disintegration" shrunk the Armed Forces to less than a quarter of their wartime strength in less than two years, just as the world's geopolitical landscape was hardening into the bi-polar relationship of the Cold War. Adding to the resulting confusion was Truman's successful effort to unify the three services in an overarching National Military Establishment which eventually became the Department of Defense. The resulting pressures on the three military services led to a prolonged, acrimonious inter-service squabble over position, mission, and funding which often appeared to be merely selfish survivalism. Actually, the arguments which surfaced in the late 1940s over the various proposals for employing nuclear and conventional forces arose out of sincere and rational concerns for the best interests of the Nation. Admiral Louis Denfeld served as the Chief of Naval Operations, the uniformed head of the Navy, from December 1947 through October 1949. He attempted to support the policies of President Truman in public statements, during congressional testimony, and in talks to his subordinates but was unable to satisfy all three groups. 1949 brought a new, economy-minded Secretary of Defense, Louis Johnson, to the Pentagon. Admiral Denfeld soon came into conflict with Johnson over the new Secretary's preference for the Air Force and strategic bombing over the Navy's aircraft carriers and tactical air operations. Johnson chose Francis P. Matthews, an Omaha lawyer, as Secretary of the Navy, making Denfeld'sposition even more difficult. Denfeld attempted to compromise and temporize his way through the resulting conflicts, but only succeeded in alienating both his superiors and his subordinates. The deep-seated bitterness in the Navy over budgetary cuts and seemingly arbitrary restrictions boiled over in the summer of 1949, leading to Congressional hearings on military unification and national strategy. This bitter episode has become known as the "Revolt of the Admirals." Denfeld did not lead the "revolt." He tried to maintain a sense of discipline, albeit ineffectively. Eventually, he sided with the rebels in his testimony, and was promptly removed by Matthews, Johnson, and the President. Congress, the media, and the public were divided on the removal of the Chief of Naval Operations. The House Armed Services Committee concluded that his firing had been a reprisal for his candid testimony before Congress and reacted angrily because this firing might discourage future military witnesses from providing honest and open testimony. The Senate Armed Services Committee also examined the firing of Admiral Denfeld but concluded that his testimony had not been the cause of his removal. This Committee agreed with Matthews' contention that many small matters over the course of several months had rendered the Admiral unsuitable for continued service as the Navy's senior officer. To date, no historical works about this incident have reconciled this difference of opinion. This thesis attempts to show that Admiral Denfeld's Congressional testimony was only a symptom of the real cause of his firing. His inability to communicate effectively with his civilian bosses and to unify his subordinates in support of the administration led to an intolerable situation in the Navy. Matthews never publicly explained his rationale for removing his subordinate, but the Admiral's testimony was not the only cause of the Secretary of the Navy's decision. Both Matthews and Denfeld have been neglected by historians, generally being dismissed as the Navy's leaders in an embarrassing "family feud." Nevertheless, they were both patriotic Americans and deserve a better legacy. Their principal shortcoming was their inability to work effectively together. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis is the product of nearly two years of research and evaluation, and like all historical scholarship has been a collaborative effort. Archivists, librarians, historians, fellow officers, and many others helped to bring it to completion. I would like to acknowledge some of the individuals whose efforts helped me keep this project on track. The Harry S. Truman Library's outstanding staff and facilities made my research in Independence, Missouri a pleasure. Sam Rushay and the other archivists were always willing and able to help in any way possible. A generous research grant from the Truman Library Institute also very much facilitated my efforts. Washington, D C s Naval Historical Center provided a wealth of essential information and scholarly advice. Dr. Jeffrey Barlow's help was especially appreciated, as was the fact that he allowed me to examine the manuscript of his then-unpublished book, The Revolt of the Admirals. The Center's fine collection of Admiral Denfeld's personal and professional papers was easy to work with and of great value to my project. Various military organizations also deserve sincere thanks for their assistance. The staff of the U. S. Strategic Command in Omaha gave me the idea for this thesis and encouraged its development. The Command Historians, Dr. Robert Parks and Dr. Todd White, graciously led me through the archives of the Strategic Air Command and showed me the Air Force's side of the controversy. Lieutenant Colonel Chuck Holland, III, merits special thanks for granting me the time to complete this project. Ms. Carol Ramkey of the Army's Combined Arms Research Library at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas provided essential assistance and went well beyond the normal call of duty in supplying copies of many articles and documents not available in the Omaha area. The Special Collections staff at the U. S. Naval Academy's Nimitz Library were very iv helpful in guiding me through their extensive oral history collection and the Naval Academy's records. Dr. A1 Goldberg of the Secretary of Defense's History Office also made his Pentagon files available for review. My sincere thanks are due to Dr. Bruce Garver of the University of Nebraska at Omaha for agreeing to Serve as my thesis advisor and for his criticism and guidance as the thesis developed. His suggestions dramatically improved the paper. Lieutenant Commander Walter Luthiger also read the first draft of the thesis and provided many helpful comments. My biggest debt in this and all my other projects is to my loving wife Lauri and my forgiving children, Kathryn and Michael. They gave up their husband and father for many days to libraries, archives, and computers during the course of this project. Their love and patience was essential and will never be forgotten.

THE BLACK PRESS AND THE END OF RACIAL SEGREGATION IN THE U.S. MILITARY, 1948-1954 Mark Slagle A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Dr. Barbara Friedman Dr. Anne Johnston Dr. Donald Shaw Dr. Crystal Feimster Dr. Richard Kohn ©2010 Mark Slagle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARK SLAGLE: Mightier Than The Sword? The Black Press and the End of Racial Segregation in the U.S. Military, 1948-1954 (Under the Direction of Dr. Barbara Friedman) Although President Harry S. Truman ordered the integration of the U.S. military in 1948, the armed forces made limited progress in desegregating before the summer of 1950. The outbreak of war on the Korean peninsula that year forced the military to re-evaluate its policy of segregation and ultimately led the complete integration of all the armed forces. This study analyzes how the largest and most influential black newspapers fought for military integration and how these publications reacted when it arrived. By examining how the black press sought to achieve its goals, this study illustrates the ways in which black newspapers did and did not operate as a dissident media source. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the efforts of a number of people. Barbara Friedman shepherded this project from vague idea to finished product. Anne Johnston, Don Shaw, Richard Kohn, and Crystal Feimster all provided valuable suggestions and support throughout the process.

    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.

WILLS has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Ingo Traushweizer Assistant Professor of History Howard Dewald Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT WILLS, STEVEN T., M.A., June 2012, History Navy and Marine Corps Opposition to the Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986 Director of Thesis: Ingo Traushweizer The Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986 was the most comprehensive defense reorganization legislation in a generation. It has governed the way the United States has organized, planned, and conducted military operations for the last twenty five years. It passed the Senate and House of Representatives with margins of victory reserved for birthday and holiday resolutions. It is praised throughout the U.S. defense establishment as a universal good. Despite this, it engendered a strong opposition movement organized primarily by Navy Secretary John F. Lehman but also included members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, prominent Senators and Congressman, and President Reagan's Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger. This essay will examine the forty year background of defense reform movements leading to the Goldwater Nichols Act, the fight from 1982 to 1986 by supporters and opponents of the proposed legislation and its twenty-five year legacy that may not be as positive as the claims made by the Department of Defense suggest.

  • Additional Historic Information the Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish
    USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum Additional Historic Information The Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish AMERICA STRIKES BACK The Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 was the first U.S. air raid to strike the Japanese home islands during WWII. The mission is notable in that it was the only operation in which U.S. Army Air Forces bombers were launched from an aircraft carrier into combat. The raid demonstrated how vulnerable the Japanese home islands were to air attack just four months after their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. While the damage inflicted was slight, the raid significantly boosted American morale while setting in motion a chain of Japanese military events that were disastrous for their long-term war effort. Planning & Preparation Immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack, President Roosevelt tasked senior U.S. military commanders with finding a suitable response to assuage the public outrage. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a difficult assignment. The Army Air Forces had no bases in Asia close enough to allow their bombers to attack Japan. At the same time, the Navy had no airplanes with the range and munitions capacity to do meaningful damage without risking the few ships left in the Pacific Fleet. In early January of 1942, Captain Francis Low1, a submariner on CNO Admiral Ernest King’s staff, visited Norfolk, VA to review the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, USS Hornet CV-8. During this visit, he realized that Army medium-range bombers might be successfully launched from an aircraft carrier.
