In the late 1930's, an aggressive and innovative rearmament program in Nazi Germany gave rise to the tactics of vertical envelopment. Luftwaffe General Kurt Student pioneered the use of gliders and airborne forces, and the Wehrmacht used them effectively early in the war as part of integrated, combined-arms offensives.

The majority of information contained in this work was derived from primary sources. In my effort to present a picture that gave both Korean and American perspectives, I used historical data from both countries, as well as knowledge based on interviews with experts from both countries.

OPERATION RESTORE HOPE, the United States-led operation in Somalia, began on the 9th of December 1992. The United States-led mission was designated United Nations Task Force Somalia (UNITAF). UNITAF was given the full political support of the United Nations, but the operation would be planned and executed by the United States.

Additionally, this book will examine the use of the JFACC during UNITAF...
