  • The Shadow of Napoleon Upon Lee at Gettysburg
    Papers of the 2017 Gettysburg National Military Park Seminar The Shadow of Napoleon upon Lee at Gettysburg Charles Teague Every general commanding an army hopes to win the next battle. Some will dream that they might accomplish a decisive victory, and in this Robert E. Lee was no different. By the late spring of 1863 he already had notable successes in battlefield trials. But now, over two years into a devastating war, he was looking to destroy the military force that would again oppose him, thereby assuring an end to the war to the benefit of the Confederate States of America. In the late spring of 1863 he embarked upon an audacious plan that necessitated a huge vulnerability: uncovering the capital city of Richmond. His speculation, which proved prescient, was that the Union army that lay between the two capitals would be directed to pursue and block him as he advanced north Robert E. Lee, 1865 (LOC) of the Potomac River. He would thereby draw it out of entrenched defensive positions held along the Rappahannock River and into the open, stretched out by marching. He expected that force to risk a battle against his Army of Northern Virginia, one that could bring a Federal defeat such that the cities of Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Washington might succumb, morale in the North to continue the war would plummet, and the South could achieve its true independence. One of Lee’s major generals would later explain that Lee told him in the march to battle of his goal to destroy the Union army.

Evans, Ph.D. Director, School of COL reg& ~dntenot,MA, MMAS Advanced Military- Studies Director, Graduate Philip J. Broolies, Ph.D. Degree Program Accepted this 17th day of December 1994 ABSTRACT MOVEMENT TO CONTACT: LOSING THE FIGHT FROM THE START by Major Charles W. Coxwell,, Jr., USA, 48 pages. This monograph evaluates the soundness of U.S. movement to contact doctrine towards the offensive meeting battle. The author distinguishes two forms of meeting battle: offensive and defensive. The offensive meeting battle is a continuous struggle for the initiative. The author finds that in an offensive meeting battle, U.S. movement to contact doctrine concedes the initiative. U.S. movement to contact doctrine is passive, indecisive, and reactionary. The doctrine loses the fight from the start. The doctrine is evaluated against the offense guidance presented in FM 100-5 to determine its level of congruency with capstone doctrine. Soviet doctrine is introduced to support the position presented in FM 100-5. The Soviets championed the offensive meeting battle. They preferred it to all other forms of combat. Presently, military policy is requiring that a belligerent's offensive capability be neutralized without protracted war.

  • The Strategic Meeting Engagement: Experimentation and Transforming the U.S
    THE STRATEGIC MEETING ENGAGEMENT: EXPERIMENTATION AND TRANSFORMING THE U.S. MILITARY Prepared for Director, Net Assessment, Office of the Secretary of Defense July 20, 2000 Contract Number DASW01-95-D-0060 Delivery Order 18 SAIC Report Number: 98-7001-SAC Dr. James Blackwell, Principal Investigator Research Assistants: Dr. James Perry, Blake Furrer, Tammy Furrow Additional Research Contributions by: George Kraus and Mark Logan ® An Employee-Owned Company Strategic Assessment Center Science Applications International Corporation 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This project of the Office of Net Assessment was initiated to begin to suggest ideas for conducting experiments on new military capabilities to transform the U.S. military for a new era of warfare. Our methodology has been to assess the series of war games and workshops on the Revolution in Military Affairs conducted during the 1990s. During a series of workshops and studies on experimentation conducted in 1998-1999, three sets of Operational and Organizational Concepts were derived from an analysis of the most promising ideas developed in the games. The strategic challenge facing the United States is the need to project military power across global distances in the face of a determined opponent who has developed anti-access, asymmetric military capabilities to keep U.S. military forces out of a particular region. Given this strategic problem, we focused our analysis at this stage on one of those concepts, the Strategic Meeting Engagement. Other reports in the Experimentation Project will address Extended Range Aerospace Operations and Maritime Operations. For the Strategic Meeting Engagement concept, we developed a scenario set in the year 2025 with an opponent roughly modeled on a regionally powerful Iran that attempts to assert its military power to control a wide area of Southwest Asia.

  • Mountain Warfare: the Russian Perspective
    WARNING! The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. MOUNTAIN WARFARE: THE RUSSIAN PERSPECTIVE by LTC John E. Sray U.S. Army March 1994 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY After attempting to combat the Afghan mujahedin with an army designed to defeat NATO, recent Russian military writings reflect a much stronger emphasis on the unique requirements necessitated by mountainous terrain. This paper summarizes their recent literature and presents the contemporary Russian view of this type of warfare based on perspectives gained in Afghanistan and elsewhere. The primary theme focuses on the current thinking of an army with recent experience in this complicated type of combat and delineates its principal conclusions for use by U.S. experts as a basis of comparison with our own mountain techniques for force-on- force combat. Russians base their training and theory for mountain warfare partially on Soviet military writings drawn from historical studies of the Great Patriotic War (GPW), but they now attach much more significance to the experience which they acquired in Afghanistan. These "lessons learned" are being coupled with new tactical innovations and integrated with other refinements to military art resulting from ongoing changes taking place within the Russian armed forces. Unit exercises, modifications to equipment, new roles for the military, and continuing operations in the mountains of Tajikistan (where the terrain is arguably as tough as Afghanistan) - all contribute to the current view of combat in mountainous terrain.
