Army History Magazine

In the history of the army of the summer of 2018, we brought you two impressive pieces. It is North Africa during the World War II between Army fighting and World War I during North America.

In the first article, author Author Christopher Rein examined the German army in February 1943 and beat Allied troops at the Kasserine Pass in Tunisia. The author argues that historians account for the majority of the loss of General Lloyd R. Fredendell, commander of the 2nd Army, but other factors contributed to the performance deterioration of Catherine's Legion There. This includes poor work relationships with superiors and subordinates, personal bias of other leaders, and excessive infringement by Friendly designated troops.

The second article by Jonathan D. Bratten explains the battle of the German adversary against the strengthened US battle which was not well-known in the First World War. It is a turning point. The author believes that in June 1918 the company succeeded in the Xivray campaign by taking in lessons learned from French allies and German enemies several months ago. Bratten wrote that the principles the military is using today also help to defeat the superior troops of experienced enemies.

In Chief Dom, Charles Bowley described the contribution of the Council of the Military History Center to record the history of the military in the 21st century.

Jon Hoffman is a footnote to his chief historian explaining the recent Army Publishing Bureau review and its efforts to use Army resources more efficiently through operations like commercial publishing companies .

This issue also includes military artifact spotlights, a story behind a ritual sword that tells of his heroic medal when he commanded the sacrificial attacks during the 1847 Mexican-American war It is included. In addition, this question includes eight great book reviews.

In the year between the two world wars, the world army adopted contemporary technology at different speeds. In 1939, the British Army became the first full movement / mechanized army in history. The US military was still using horses in 1941, but by the end of the war it relied entirely on internal combustion engines. They possessed tanks, but it was not until 1945 that the German army was still heavily dependent on horses, as the Soviets were. The two basic elements of combat efficiency are thermal power and mobility. Damage by fire destroys, neutralizes, or suppresses the kinetic energy effect of the object. Mobility is to move the entire battle space and gain positional advantage. Two complement each other. A party with a greater position advantage can place that firepower for better outcome; a party with better firepower can better support that control element.
