The 82nd Airborne Division in Transformation: Is it Possible to Significantly Increase the Combat Power in the Division Ready Brigade and Reduce Deplo
ISBN: 9781479182152 / Angielski / Miękka / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This monograph focuses on how the 82nd Airborne Division fits into the United States Army's efforts to transform. The Army of 2000-2010 must deploy combat power more quickly into a crisis--before aggression starts or before an aggressor achieves initial objectives. With fewer forces stationed outside the United States, the ability to project combat power is more important to modern American security concerns than at any time in recent history. The slow build-up of combat power from secure ports and airfields prior to Operation Desert Storm and Just Cause are probably not suitable models for...

They were the Tiger FACs, the forward air controllers who flew fast-moving F-4E Phantoms over the deadly skies of Laos and North Vietnam in an air war that history forgot to mention.

The mission required flying sorties up to six hours long with four to six air-to-air refuelings. It demanded...

At the start of the twentieth century the United States led the world in advances in aviation, with the first successful engine-powered flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and Dayton, Ohio, beginning in 1903. Fifteen years later, however, American airmen flew European-designed aircraft because American planes were woefully inadequate for service on the Western Front. Why was the United States so poorly prepared to engage in aerial combat in World War I?
To answer this question, Herbert Johnson takes a hard look at the early years of U.S. military aviation, exploring the cultural,... At the start of the twentieth century the United States led the world in advances in aviation, with the first successful engine-powered flights at Kit...
