  • Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War
    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. : A Historiography of C Force FEATURE A Historiography of C Force TONY BANHAM Abstract: Following the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in 1941, a small number of books covering the then Colony’s war experiences were published. Although swamped by larger and more significant battles, the volume of work has expanded in the years since and is no longer insignificant. This historiography documents that body of literature, examining trends and possible future directions for further study with particular respect to the coverage of C Force. h e f a t e o f the 1,975 men and two women of C Force, sent T to Hong Kong just before the Japanese invaded, has generated a surprising volume of literature. It was fate too that a Canadian, Major General Arthur Edward Grasett, was the outgoing commander of British troops in China— including the Hong Kong garrison— in mid-1941 (being replaced that August by Major General Christopher M altby of the Indian army), and fate that his determination that the garrison be reinforced would see a Briton, Brigadier John Kelburne Lawson, arrive from Canada in November 1941 as commander of this small force sent to bolster the colony’s defences.

  • The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-39
    THE POLICY OF NEGLECT: THE CANADIAN MILITIA IN THE INTERWAR YEARS, 1919-39 ___________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ___________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Britton Wade MacDonald January, 2009 iii © Copyright 2008 by Britton W. MacDonald iv ABSTRACT The Policy of Neglect: The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-1939 Britton W. MacDonald Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin The Canadian Militia, since its beginning, has been underfunded and under-supported by the government, no matter which political party was in power. This trend continued throughout the interwar years of 1919 to 1939. During these years, the Militia’s members had to improvise a great deal of the time in their efforts to attain military effectiveness. This included much of their training, which they often funded with their own pay. They created their own training apparatuses, such as mock tanks, so that their preparations had a hint of realism. Officers designed interesting and unique exercises to challenge their personnel. All these actions helped create esprit de corps in the Militia, particularly the half composed of citizen soldiers, the Non- Permanent Active Militia. The regulars, the Permanent Active Militia (or Permanent Force), also relied on their own efforts to improve themselves as soldiers. They found intellectual nourishment in an excellent service journal, the Canadian Defence Quarterly, and British schools. The Militia learned to endure in these years because of all the trials its members faced. The interwar years are important for their impact on how the Canadian Army (as it was known after 1940) would fight the Second World War.

  • Elchuk, Alex Private the Calgary Highlanders, R.C.I.C. M – 39751
    Elchuk, Alex Private The Calgary Highlanders, R.C.I.C. M – 39751 Alex Elchuk was born 16 July,1916 in Desjarlais, Alberta, Canada, the son of Theodore and Dora Elchuk, both born in Austria. He had three older brothers, William, George and John, a younger brother Metro and two older sisters, Jennie and Mary with a younger sister, Annie. He also had an older step brother, Mike. His mother died in the autumn of 1935 when Alex was seventeen years old. He was Roman Catholic but did not go to church until he went into the army. After 8 years at school, he left at the age of fourteen in order to work on the family farm. He himself owned 160 hectares of land in Wandering River, Alberta and planned to settle there after the war. In his free time he liked to play basketball, read and write, smoke a cigarette, with a drink sometimes. In 1940 Canada introduced the National Resources Mobilization Act; available men were asked to register for military service, where in the first instance, recruits would be used to defend the homeland. Later, these men were sent to serve overseas. One of them was Alex Elchuk. On 17 April, 1941, Alex, then twenty two years old, reported for service in Calgary, Alberta and was given the army number: M600521. At that time he had been living in Desjarlais and working on his father’ s farm as a single man. He was described in the records as 1.76m tall, weighing 73 kilos, with blue eyes, dark hair and a light skin colour; he had a scar on his upper lip.

McMahon Why, contrary to their predecessors, did the Taliban resort to use of suicide attacks in the 2000s in Afghanistan? By drawing from terrorist innovation literature and Michael Horowitz’s adoption capacity theory—a theory of diffusion of military innovation—the author argues that suicide attacks in Afghanistan is better understood as an innovation or emulation of a new technique to retaliate in asymmetric warfare when insurgents face arms embargo, military pressure, and have direct links to external terrorist groups.

  • Air Campaign Planning Handbook
    Air Campaign Planning Handbook WARFARE STUDIES INSTITUTE College of Aerospace Doctrine, Research, and Education 625 Chennault Circle Maxwell AFB, AL 36112 March 2000 Preface To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving the peace. --George Washington War is not an affair of chance. A great deal of knowledge, study, and meditation is necessary to conduct it well. --Frederick the Great If I always appear prepared, it is because before entering on an undertaking, I have meditated long and have foreseen what may occur. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly and secretly what I should do in circumstances unexpected by others; it is thought and preparation. --Napoleon “What is campaign planning? Why is campaigning important to me? How do I develop a campaign plan?” The JDACC Air Campaign Planning Handbook will help you find answers to these questions. This handbook, by design, focuses on planning air warfare at the operational level of war; it does not prescribe tactics, techniques, and procedures for executing air attacks. Execution of the plan is critically important and must be thoroughly considered, but before execution, you as a campaign planner must think through the operational-level issues. The campaign plan provides the link that ensures tactical operations will achieve the desired strategic objectives. This handbook presents a way to focus on issues at the operational level of war that make execution meaningful in achieving the theater and national-level goals. Joint Pub 1-02, The Department of Defense Dictionary of Joint Terms, defines a campaign plan as “a plan for a series of related operations aimed to accomplish a common objective, normally within a given time and space.” Campaigns of the American military are joint.
