Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This study investigates the relationship between depth and agility using the historical method, identifies principles which govern those relationships, and seeks to apply these principles to NATO's current posture. Historical cases used include the German defenses at Kharkov (I), Kursk (II) and Normandy, the Soviet defense at Kursk (I), the Allied defense in the Ardennes, and the Japanese defense in Manchuria. The study concludes that the relationship between depth and agility centers on time. The greater the depth the greater the amount of time to respond. It is further evident that, even in cases of greater relative depth, a certain minimum level of agility is required to capitalize on that advantage or it will ultimately be lost. It also follows that a force lacking in relative depth must be more agile in order to respond successfully to potentially decisive breakthroughs. Here, too, there exists a minimum level. When the force reaches a point that, in spite of its agility advantage it can neither hold the shoulders of a penetration nor form a viable operational reserve, it is so lacking in depth that it cannot succeed. In analyzing NATO's present situation the study finds that, due to political, economic, and technological constraints, NATO has reached a point of diminishing marginal returns in increasing its depth on the battlefield. Although greater depth is desirable, it may not be feasible to achieve it. Increases in agility offer a viable option to this dilemma for the following reasons: 1. Agility is largely a mindset, as is stated in FM 100-5 and shown in the historical cases studied. Training and war games alone should therefore provide a significant improvement. 2. Gains in depth have been the priority for several years and the easy and inexpensive discoveries have probably already been made. 3. Agility has had little recent emphasis and, therefore, could provide some feasibility alternative very rapidly and inexpensively. The study concludes that the.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This study addresses the feasibility of executing joint deep air operations in a dense anti-aircraft environment. It identifies some proven tactics and techniques for use in these operations, placing particular emphasis on night operations facilitated by equipment which is currently being tested and fielded. To test the hypothesis that joint deep air operations are feasible in a dense anti-aircraft environment, this study examines it first from a historical perspective. General lessons are drawn from operations conducted from 1945--1973. A more detailed study is made of the Israeli experience in the Beqa'a Valley of Lebanon, the British and Argentine experiences in the Falklands and the U.S. experiences in Grenada. An indepth analysis of the Soviet air defense artillery (ADA) network is also done and compared with the current and near term (1990) U. S. technology and tactics to identify weaknesses. Conclusions drawn by this study indicate unequivocally that it is feasible to conduct both fixed wing and helicopter deep operations if these operations are properly planned, prepared and resourced. Losses to ADA will be acceptable over time but can reach 40-50% if heavily defended targets are attacked without these prerequisites being satisfied. Night operations provide U.S. forces a tremendous advantage over Soviet and Soviet-equipped forces due to their lack of comparable night vision equipment. Mines delivered by either aircraft or artillery (particularly MLRS due to its 30 kilometer range) would be extremely effective in the deep operations especially at night and should usually be an integral part of their execution. Significant coordination is required between the Air Force and the Army elements to properly execute a joint deep air operation. Timely acquisition and dissemination of accurate intelligence is essential. Joint operating procedures and training are needed to prepare bottle forces for this somewhat difficult but lucrative mission. Air Battle Management.…
