    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.

  • First Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment (Three Months) Receiving Its Colors from the Ladies of Detroit
    First Michigan – Three Months Volunteer Infantry Regiment “Thank God for Michigan!” It is confidently expected that the patriotic citizen soldiery of Michigan will promptly come forward to enlist in the cause of the Union, against which an extensive rebellion in arms exists, threatening the integrity and perpetuity of the government.1 Governor and Commander-in-Chief Austin Blair April 16, 1861 On April 12, 1861, the first guns of the Civil War were fired on Fort Sumter. On April 15, Governor Austin only three days later, Lincoln appealed to the “loyal” states for help in putting down the Blair rebellion, calling for 75,000 volunteers to serve for three months.2 Governor Austin Blair received the War Department’s telegram at his home in Jackson, advising him of Lincoln’s call to arms and informing him of Michigan’s quota: one regiment consisting of ten companies, or about 1,000 men. Governor Blair immediately left for Detroit to confer with the state’s Adjutant General, John Robertson.3 The problem: how to recruit, organize, arm, equip and train a regiment as quickly as possible. There were no funds for such an undertaking. Michigan’s treasury in 1861 was nearly depleted. Prominent business and civic leaders around the state stepped forward, pledging $80,000 in loans to get Michigan’s war effort started.4 On April 16, one day after receiving the War Department’s telegram, Governor Blair called for volunteers. The response was wildly enthusiastic, marked by a massive war Adjutant General John Robertson 1 First Michigan – Three Months Volunteer Infantry Regiment Ypsilanti Light Guard, the Marshall Light Guard and the Hardee Cadets— rendezvoused at Fort Wayne to drill and train.7 Colonel Frank W.

  • Hard War and Riot Response on the Union Home Front
    “BULLETS AND CANISTER FIRST, BLANK CARTRIDGES AFTERWARDS:” HARD WAR AND RIOT RESPONSE ON THE UNION HOME FRONT Joseph Lueck A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2016 Committee: Benjamin Greene, Advisor A. Dwayne Beggs © 2016 Joseph Lueck All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Benjamin Greene, Advisor Following the passage of the Enrollment Act of 1863, violence erupted in cities across the Union. The Enrollment Act, in tandem with January’s implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation, led many Northerners to violently resist the draft in wartime “draft riots.” Poor men who could not afford the commutation fee argued that the draft targeted them and forced them to fight a war for the rights and freedom of blacks, a cause many of them cared nothing about. This thesis examines the governmental responses to three of these riots. In Detroit, on March 6th, responding troops utilized containment tactics, defending Detroit’s richer neighborhoods and waiting the riot to subside. By July, however, responders utilized much harsher tactics. In New York City, from July 13th to July 16th, responders employed increasingly militaristic tactics to scatter mobs and restore order in the city. In Boston, on July 14th, responding troops fired a cannon into a mob of men, women, and children, killing many civilians but effectively quashing the riot. This thesis analyzes this shift in response tactics. Through examination of local, state, and federal responses to the home front riots of 1863, Lueck argues that aspects of the Union’s “Hard War” policies developed in the North as well as the South.

That day will long be remembered in the annals of American history, for on that day Japan struck a treacherous blow by her sneak bombXng of the Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Which killed and wounded thousands and crippled a large portion of our fleet. It was this infamous attack that made every American fully aware that his nation once again was to be engaged in war. We had been attacked and we must fight. Thus it was, in a Joint session of Congress on Dec. 8, 1941 that President Franklin Roosevelt asked that war be declared and it was passed that a state of war now existed between Japan and the United States. With this action, it was merely a matter of hours that we were also at war with the rest of the Axis nations, so the people of America bent to the task of waging a war at any cost to bring about a complete and total Victory. But what did the United States possess to wage a war with? As a Democratic nation, the policy of ma±ntain~ng only a small Army and Navy had always been held.
