This monograph proposes an alternative design concept for the future divisional Armored Engineer Battalion. The research hypothesis is that an Armored Engineer Battalion organized around core battlefield missions would be more effective in...
After many years of attempting to develop and field operational unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), the UAV programs of the military services were halted at the direction of Congress. All non-lethal UAV programs were consolidated into a joint...
This study is undertaken to determine whether it is possible to develop a realistic computerized mathematical model for FM tactical radios operating under the influence of enemy jamming. A simplified model of the single channel communication system...
Discusses various artillery pieces and their mechanical parts. Second volume includes additional information on improvements in gun mounting, the Welin breech mechanism and carriage improvements.
Since the events of September 11, 2001 the United States military counternetwork operations, theory, and doctrine have failed to account for the form, function, and logic of clandestine cellular networks used by both interstate insurgencies, such...
The Army After Next envisions an Army which has two key attributes, Knowledge and Speed. Speed is the ability of weapons systems to move faster on the battlefield. Knowledge is the ability of forces throughout the battlefield to see themselves and...
This monograph analyzes whether the US airborne force is capable of contributing to simultaneous operations on the next battlefield. Specifically, is the airborne force doctrine and organization adequate for employment as an operational maneuver...
The campaign planning process is the essential link between the strategic and operational levels of war. Since the final large unit operations of World War II, the American military has lost its expertise in campaign planning. The study examines...
The purpose of this paper is to explore the question of how modern terrorist groups manage to survive in the face of aggressive counterterrorist operations by security forces. Al Qa'ida survives to this day, despite the destruction of their...
The purpose of this monograph is to identify the airborne force role in operational maneuver. Specifically, the monograph attempts to define how airborne forces can contribute to the establishment of a theater of operations or other elements of...
Joint Publication 3-13, Joint Doctrine for Information Operations was published in 1998 to provide clarity and guidance for conducting joint information operations. This paper seeks to answer if the doctrine proved sufficient at the Joint Task...

Manual tells and shows how to rig certain types of ammunition and explosives in A-22 cargo bags and A-7A cargo slings for low- or high-velocity airdrop. These procedures apply only to the items listed in this manual.
This field manual details mechanical training, marksmanship (known distance targets, moving ground targets, and air targets), technique of fire, and advice to instructors for the Browning automatic rifle.
This manual is intended to prescribe the duties to be performed by the personnel manning antiaircraft machine guns, and to explain the mechanical action of the gun and the workings of related materiel so that antiaircraft machine-gun equipment.
This study investigates the feasibility of conducting US - Soviet combined operations from a military perspective. The emphasis is on identifying differences and similarities between US and Soviet operational level of war concepts and coalition...
This monograph examines the concept of pivots of maneuver from the operational perspective. Through an examination of the theories of Jomini, Clausewitz, Triandafillov, Fuller, and Tukhachevskiy five criteria are distilled that form the framework...
The monograph examines the friendly information system portion of the battlefield superiority dilemma. It focuses on a very specific portion of operational campaign design: the “Big Blue Arrow,” a metaphor for decisive operations requiring the...
A gap exists between how logistics planners and operational planners see the military environment. This leads to asynchronous planning and flawed solutions. The central theme necessary to merge these two worlds is the common operational picture. By...
World War II saw the development of airborne operations and airborne warfare to the point where an airborne operation- that is, the forces and techniques of which it is composed and their use- could be looked upon as an additional weapons system of...
