{"product_id":"2940148627036","title":"Larger Units: Theater Army, Army Group, and Field Army","description":"The current U.S. Army doctrine for larger unit\u003cbr\u003eoperations predates the AirLand Battle doctrine. As a\u003cbr\u003eresult, the Combined Arms Center's Concept Development\u003cbr\u003eDirectorate and the Command and General Staff College's\u003cbr\u003eDepartment of Joint and Combined Operations are updating\u003cbr\u003ethe older doctrine with a new field manual on larger unit\u003cbr\u003eoperations. The Combat Studies Institute (CSI) was tasked\u003cbr\u003esupport this project by preparing historical\u003cbr\u003eperspective on the echelons of field army, a\u0026amp;y group and\u003cbr\u003etheater army organization during wartime. The following\u003cbr\u003estudy is the result of CSI's efforts.\u003cbr\u003eThe military philosopher J. F. C. Fuller noted that\u003cbr\u003e\"looking back is the best way of looking forward.\" CSI\"s\u003cbr\u003etask in looking back was to uncover common principles of\u003cbr\u003ecommand and organization in order to highlight past\u003cbr\u003emistakes and successes. To do this, the study begins with\u003cbr\u003eWorld War II and moves forward to the Vietnam Conflict.\u003cbr\u003eThe study focuses on the organization, command\u003cbr\u003erelationships, functions, and logistics of operational\u003cbr\u003etheaters.\u003cbr\u003eThe study uncovered unity of command as a guiding\u003cbr\u003eprinciple for larger unit organization, and many other\u003cbr\u003elessons are developed as well in the individual chapters.\u003cbr\u003eIt is hoped that this study will help provide the\u003cbr\u003ehistorical foundation for the revised larger unit manuals.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075388489968,"sku":"2940148627036","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148627036_p0.jpg?v=1763705929","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148627036","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
