    On 9 July 1943, the Allied Forces initiated the invasion of Sicily, or “Operation Husky”. This invasion was the largest amphibious operation conducted during World War II and utilized over 2,590 vessels and involved approximately a half million soldiers, sailors, and airmen. While this invasion was a victory for the Allies and provided them with a launch pad for its invasion of Italy, senior leaders made many mistakes in their planning, execution, decision making, and coordination. As a result, analysis of this operation provides excellent lessons learned that are still relevant today for future joint commanders and staff. Lastly, of the six joint functions integrated into joint or combined operations, this paper focuses on evaluating, at the…

    According to Frontline and an interview with COL Perkins, “as the United States developed its war plan, it was clear that it would have to take Baghdad to have a decisive victory”.5 COL Perkin’s knew this and provided his unit with clear and concise purpose as well as the desired end state when conducting both Thunder Runs. The intent was to collect intelligence, push through city and remain downtown if specific conditions were met. The end state was to collapse the Saddam Government and Iraqi regime. Perkins acted on the guidance from LTG Wallace and MG Blount, and relayed it down to his three subordinate battalion commanders. COL Perkins ensured there was no confusion due to the high risk involved. He gave orders to “attack as fast as you can, and push through the center of the city. If a vehicle becomes disabled due to enemy fire, you immediately take the crew off, put them on another vehicle, and you just leave it”.6 COL Perkins gave specific guidance on Objective Moe, Larry and Curly which was crucial to keeping…

    In late June 1863, Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia passed through western Maryland and invaded Pennsylvania. General Lee believed that by invading the North, he could draw the Union Army of the Potomac away from their defenses and force them to come after him. He also assumed the people of the North would be so demoralized if the Union were to lose another major battle, especially if it was fought on Northern soil, that President Abraham Lincoln would be forced to negotiate a settlement of the Civil War. On 01 July 1863, then Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, and his 20th Maine received word to begin movement to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where the Union Army had already engaged the Confederates. After marching more than 100 miles in five days with only two hours of sleep, COL Chamberlain and his men arrived on 02 July 1863 and immediately began preparing to establish a defensive position on top of Little Round Top, the extreme left of the Union line. The hill, which dominated the Union position, was previously left unprotected do to a failure in communications. Using the six steps of the operations process, this study will demonstrate COL Joshua Chamberlains’ ability to properly use mission command which ultimately led to the Union’s victory at Little Round Top.…

    "why did the Allies win?" For Overy, to ask such a question is to presuppose that there was nothing pre-ordained about Allied success (Overy pg 1). To understand the Allied victory, Overy asserts that we must realize that explanations of resources, technology, of fighting men, are not enough on their own to explain victory. The moral dimension to warfare, he asserts, is inseparable from any understanding of the outcome. The role of human agency is extensive. With this…

    On November 8, 1942, the military forces of the United States and the United Kingdom launched an amphibious operation against French North Africa, in particular the French-held territories of Algeria and Morocco. That landing, code-named 'Torch,' reflected the results of long and contentious arguments between British and American planners about the future course of Allied strategy — arguments that were finally stilled by the intervention of the American president, Franklin D. Roosevelt. In both a direct and an indirect sense, Torch's impact was enormous on the course of Anglo-American strategy during the remainder of the war. It may have been the most important strategic decision that Allied leaders would make. In fact, this amphibious operation inevitably postponed the landing in France until 1944, but at the same time it allowed the United States to complete mobilization of its immense industrial and manpower resources for the titanic air and ground battles that characterized the Allied campaigns of 1944.…
