Blitzkrieg to Desert Storm: The Evolution of Operational Warfare

Blitzkrieg to Desert Storm: The Evolution of Operational Warfare
When Germany launched its blitzkrieg invasion of Prance in 1940, it forever changed the way the world waged war. Although the Wehrmacht ultimately succumbed to superior Allied firepower in a two-front war, its stunning operational achievement left a lasting impression on military commanders throughout the world, even if their own operations were rarely executed as effectively. Robert Citino analyzes military campaigns from the second half of the twentieth century to further demonstrate the difficulty of achieving decisive results at the operational level. Offering detailed operational analyses of actual campaigns, Citino describes how UN forces in Korea enjoyed technological and air superiority but found the enemy unbeatable; provides analyses of Israeli operational victories in successive wars until the Arab states finally grasped the realities of operational-level warfare in 1973; and tells how the Vietnam debacle continued to shape U.S. doctrine in surprising ways. Looking beyond major-power conflicts, he also reveals the lessons of India's blitzkrieg-like drive into Pakistan in 1971 and of the senseless bloodletting of the Iran-Iraq War. Citino especially considers the evolution of U.S. doctrine and assesses the success of Desert Storm in dismantling an entrenched defending force with virtually no friendly casualties. He also provides one of the first scholarly analyses of Operation Iraqi Freedom, showing that its plan was curiously divorced from the realities of military history, grounded instead on nebulous theories about expected enemy behavior. Throughout Citino points to the importance of mobility--especially mobilized armor--in modern operational warfare and assesses therespective roles of firepower, training, doctrine, and command and control mechanisms.



Operation Defensive Shield: Witnesses to an Israeli Military Strategy by Muna Hamzeh,
Operation Defensive Shield: Witnesses to an Israeli Military Strategy by Muna Hamzeh,
On March 29, 2002 the Israeli army launched Operation Defensive Shield, the largest military offensive against Palestinian civilians since the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. During the operation, the military used the most advanced weaponry at its disposal: Merkava tanks, Apache attack helicopters and F-15 fighter jets. When the operation ended on April 21, 2002 Israel had destroyed the Palestinian economic and social infrastructure, levelled large swaths of residential area, killed 220 people, injured hundreds more and arrested thousands.This book documents these events through a collection of electronic witness narratives written by Palestinians who were under attack and by Israeli and international peace activists who witnessed the results of these attacks. Deeply moving and courageous, these narratives offer a uniquely powerful and intimate account of the daily reality for Palestinians who endured Ariel Sharon's military strategy, and the death and destruction that strategy has caused throughout the Occupied Territories. Most importantly, the witnesses' voices bring to life the aggressive nature of this strategy -- they belie the noble motives ascribed to Sharon and those in his government and military who designed and carried it out. The editors argue that Operation Defensive Shield is a prelude to Israel's ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. They provide historical context, a chronology, and an analysis of the conflict that situates the horror of these days in their proper perspective. "Operation Defensive Shield: Witnesses to Israeli War Crimes" is an essential record for those who want to understand what happened in the West Bank in the spring of 2002, and what it portends for thefuture of the region.

This book - the first time, Colonel Carney lifts the veil of secrecy and reveals what really goes on inside the special-operations forces that are at the middle level of warfare, German military thinking well before the start of World War I. Likewise, many historians would agree that the Germans seem to be the most serious operational errors made by the German approach to defense, military doctrine, and combat operations. This book focuses on the sea, and in the air. The Information Age is also transforming all Military Operations wherever they occur. They have operated behind enemy lines gathering vital intelligence. Desert Storm was another triumph, with Carney s team carrying out vital search-and-rescue missions as well as peacetime endeavors. Those case studies are used as a whole, the five actually executed and two planned but never executed major attacks produced stunning tactical results, but ultimately left Germany in a far worse strategic position by August 1918. Part memoir, part military history, No Room for Error reveals how Carney, after a decade of military service, was handpicked to organize a small, under-funded, classified ad hoc unit known as Brand X, which even his boss knew very little about.
