GWOT Operational History Series

	On Point: The United States Army in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM

	by COL Gregory Fontenot, LTC E. J. Degen, and LTC David Tohn.
	On Point is a study of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) as soon after the fact as feasible. The Army leadership chartered this effort in a message to the major commands on 30 April 2003. In his guidance, Army Chief of Staff General Eric K. Shinseki directed "a quick, thorough review that looks at the US Army's performance, assesses the role it played in the joint and coalition team, and captures the strategic, operational, and tactical lessons that should be disseminated and applied in future fights."

	On Point II: Transition to the New Campaign: The United States Army in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, May 2003 - January 2005

	by Dr. Donald P. Wright and COL Timothy R. Reese.
	On Point II is the US Army's first historical study of its campaign in Iraq in the decisive eighteen months following the overthrow of the Baathist regime in April 2003. The book examines both the high-level decisions that shaped military operations after May 2003 as well as the effects of those decisions on units and Soldiers who became responsible for conducting those operations. The authors, historians at the US Army's Combat Studies Institute at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, based this account on hundreds of interviews with key participants and thousands of primary documents. Critical chapters in this book address the decision to disband the Iraqi Army, detainee operations (including the incidents at the Abu Ghraib prison), reconstruction efforts, and the Army's response to the growing insurgency. At the core of On Point II is the dramatic story of how after May 2003, the US Army reinvented itself by transforming into an organization capable of conducting a broad array of diverse and complex "Full Spectrum" operations. This was the new campaign that confronted American Soldiers beginning in May 2003 as they strived to create stability in Iraq.

Long War (formerly known as Global War on Terrorism) Occasional Papers

	Traditions, Changes, and Challenges: Military Operations and the Middle Eastern City. Occasional Paper 1
	by Lieutenant Colonel Louis A. DiMarco, US Army
	The Middle East is one of the most urbanized regions of the world, and growth continues at an unprecedented rate. With operations ongoing in the Middle East today, it is fitting that this inaugural study should focus on military aspects of the urban areas of that region. There is an undoubted need for US military planners to possess a solid foundation of military history, cultural awareness, and an understanding of the intricacies of city design and function in this critical region. Each conflict brings its own challenges and dynamics. The challenges of a Middle Eastern fight require decisive involvement in that region’s cities. The enemy is adaptive—we must be adaptive as well. This call to study and understand history and culture is the first step along that road.

	Imperial Policing. Occasional Paper 2
	by Major-General Sir Charles W. Gwynn
	This reprint of a portion of a 1934 British work, Imperial Policing, is the second in a series of CSI studies called Global War on Terrorism Occasional Papers. In the lager work Major General Sir Charles W. Gwynn created an analytical and evaluative framework within which to examine military forces operating in police-style support of a civil structure. He then provided 10 case studies to clarify his argument. For our purposes, the author’s framework is of paramount interest. Gwynne wrote Imperial Policing not “with the intention of either awarding blame or praise, but in order to stimulate thought on the problems involved.” Seventy years later, the Combat Studies Institute reprints the first two chapters of Gwynn’s fine work in exactly the same spirit as the original author.

	Understanding the “Victory Disease,” From the Little Bighorn to Mogadishu and Beyond. Occasional Paper 3
	by Major Timothy Karcher, US Army
	“Turning Victory Into Success: Military Operations After the Campaign” was the title of a recent US Army Training and Doctrine Command/Combat Studies Institute military symposium at Fort Leavenworth. The presenters looked at the imperative of linking battlefield success to political objectives across both tactical and strategic spectrums. One of the symposium’s salient points was that overwhelming military accomplishment does not automatically translate to overall success. Major Tim Karcher’s Understanding the “Victory Disease,” From the Little Bighorn to Mogadishu and Beyond presents further evidence supporting the above premise. With Operations ENDURING and IRAQI FREEDOM in the foreground today, it is fitting that this study should focus on military operations undertaken in the immediate aftermath of extraordinary military victory. US military planners must possess a solid foundation of military history and cultural awareness to ensure battlefield and strategic success today and in the future. Future conflicts are not likely to resemble those of the past, whether they are conflicts from dim memory, the previous decade, or last year. Each brings its own challenges and dynamics. One thing is certain, however, as Major Karcher points out: The US military cannot rest on the laurels of previous campaigns. Major Karcher’s study makes an important contribution to military history as a warfighter’s tool to refine critical thinking and adaptability.

	Field Artillery in Military Operations Other Than War: an overview of the US experience. Occasional Paper 4
	The initial conflicts in the Global War on Terrorism, Afghanistan and Iraq, pose significant challenges for the armed forces of the United States and its coalition allies. Among the challenges is the use of field artillery in those campaigns that fall short of conventional warfare. Engaged in a spectrum from full-scale combat to stability and support operations, the military is faced with an ever-changing environment in which to use its combat power. For instance, it is axiomatic that the massive application of firepower necessary to destroy targets in decisive phase III combat operations is not necessary in phase IV stability operations. However, the phasing of campaigns has become increasingly fluid as operations shift from phase III to IV and back to phase III, or activities in one portion of a country are in phase IV while in another portion phase III operations rage. The challenges of this environment are significant but not new. The US military has faced them before, in places like the American West, the Philippines, Latin America, Vietnam, and others. Dr. Larry Yates’ study, Field Artillery in Military Operations Other Than War: An Overview of the US Experience, captures the unique contributions of that branch in a variety of operational experiences. In doing so, this work provides the modern officer with a reference to the continuing utility of field artillery in any future conflict.

	In Search of an Elusive Enemy: The Victorio Campaign, 1879-1880. Occasional Paper 5
	by Kendall D. Gott
	This work examines the US Army’s efforts in tracking down Victorio, the infamous Apache chief who raided large tracts of New Mexico and Texas at will, terrorizing the entire region. The key point made in this work is that it demonstrates the challenges of tracking and capturing or killing a small, irregular group of warriors in inhospitable terrain and among an alien culture. Although set in the late 19th century, this case study is still extremely relevant for today’s Army. The commanders of the 9th and 10th US Cavalry Regiments faced a skilled adversary who used unconventional tactics and methods as well as an international border to seek sanctuary. However, it could just as easily have featured the stories of Osceola, Aguinaldo, Pancho Villa, or Osama bin Laden. The similarities to challenges that US and coalition forces face in Afghanistan and Iraq are striking. The commanders of the 19th century faced enormous challenges in the rugged terrain of the American Southwest as well as a skeptical and often hostile press. Again, officers and soldiers who have recently served in Afghanistan and Iraq will certainly see parallels here.

	The Road to Abu Ghraib: US Army Detainee Doctrine and Experience. Occasional Paper 6
	by Major James F. Gebhardt, US Army (Retired)
	The perceptions of just treatment held by citizens of our nation and, to a great extent the world at large, have been and are being shaped by the actions of the US Army, both in the commission of detainee maltreatment but also, and more importantly, in the way the Army addresses its institutional shortcomings. James Gebhardt’s study, The Road to Abu Ghraib: US Army Detainee Doctrine and Experience, captures the salient doctrinal issues of this critical aspect of the Army’s battlespace. Indeed, this work, in DRAFT form, has already informed the evolution of detainee doctrine in the MP and MI schoolhouses, as well as Combat Training Center practical exercises. A solid understanding of our past experiences will aid those soldiers charged with executing this important mission today and in the future, and this study represents a valuable contribution to the effort.

	Easier Said Than Done: Making the Transition Between Combat Operations and Stability Operations. Occasional Paper 7
	by Lieutenant Colonel David P. Cavaleri, US Army (Retired)
	Mr. David Cavaleri has produced a study that examines nine critical factors that should be addressed in stabilization planning and execution. Mr. Cavaleri then presents a case study of the US occupation of Japan after World War II, followed by a parallel analysis of the case study and ongoing stability operations in Afghanistan and Iraq through the lens of the critical planning factors. This study cautions against the misuse and overuse of “lessons” learned from historical case studies. Yet, the critical analysis of operations using relatively timeless planning factors has proven to be a valuable tool to aid our understanding of where we are and where we are going. The Japan of 1945 is not the Japan of today, much less the Iraq of tomorrow; however, the contemporary problems faced by military and civilian planners remain very similar. Stability operations are with us now and for the foreseeable future. For the professional officer and campaign planner, then, it is instructive to revisit prior US experience in this critical arena.

	Combating a Modern Hydra: Al Qaeda and the Global War on Terrorism. Occasional Paper 8
	by Sean N. Kalic
	This study by Mr. Sean Kalic, of the Department of Military History, US Army Command and General Staff College, examines modern transnational terrorism from the 1960s to the present day, with special emphasis on the adaptation Al Qaeda and other nonstate actors have taken in response to the actions of the United States and its allies. This work provides a cautionary warning about the likelihood Al Qaeda will continue to survive and execute missions in the current operating environment. Mr. Kalic synthesizes much of the pertinent literature and offers insights into the actions taken to fight terrorists. Most importantly, he advises a continual reevaluation of the threat, based on Al Qaeda’s flexibility, resiliency, and adaptability. Officers and soldiers who have recently served in operations against the terrorist worldwide will certainly see utility here. As the US Army continues its efforts in combating terrorists, the thoughts found in this narrative are well worth considering.

	The Law of War: Can 20th-Century Standards Apply to the Global War on Terrorism? Occasional Paper 9
	by Lieutenant Colonel David P. Cavaleri, US Army (Retired)
	Mr. David Cavaleri, a retired Armor lieutenant colonel and CSI historian, has produced a study that examines the evolution and continued applicability of the corpus, both conventional and customary, that constitutes the law of war. As background, Mr. Cavaleri provides a theoretical framework and the development of the law within Western and, specifically, US Army doctrine and regulation. He then presents a case study of the British suppression of the Mau Mau insurgency in 1950s Kenya, a conflict with particular resonance today. Some of the more relevant characteristics of the “emergency,” as it was called, include the clash between Western and non-Western cultures and an initially asymmetric fight between conventional security forces and loosely organized, poorly equipped insurgents.

	Eyes Behind the Lines: US Army Long-Range Reconnaissance and Surveillance Units. Occasional Paper 10
	by Major James F. Gebhardt, US Army (Retired)
	This work is an outgrowth of concerns identified by the authors of On Point: The United States Army in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Specifically, these authors called into question the use of long-range surveillance (LRS) assets by commanders during that campaign and suggested an assessment ought to be made about their continuing utility and means of employment. Major (Retired) James Gebhardt, of CSI, researched and wrote this Occasional Paper with that end in view. In this study, Gebhardt surveys the US Army’s historical experience with LRRP and LRS units from the 1960s Cold War and Vietnam War, through their resurgence in the 1980s and use in Operations JUST CAUSE and DESERT STORM, to the advent of the GWOT. The paper’s analytical framework examines each era of LRS units in terms of doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership, and personnel. In doing so, the author makes a strong case for continuing the LRS capability in the Army’s force structure.

	Mobility, Vigilance, and Justice: The US Army Constabulary in Germany, 1946-1953. Occasional Paper 11
	by Kendall D. Gott
	Mobility, Vigilance, and Justice: The US Army Constabulary in Germany, 1946-1953 is another in a series of military case studies published by the Combat Studies Institute. This work examines the establishment and operations of the US Constabulary in post-World War II Germany. It outlines the planning involved in the early stages and showcases some of the difficulties involved with implementing the command guidance. The occupation of Germany after World War II is perhaps the paradigm of a successful post combat operation in modern American history. After four years of bitter fighting, the US Army rapidly shifted from its combat missions and literally reorganized and retrained its forces for its new peacetime role. The US Constabulary in Europe effectively bridged the gap between the victorious Allies and the defeated populace through aggressive law enforcement, border control, and assistance to the Germans in rebuilding their own law enforcement infrastructure. The distinctive uniforms and insignia of the “Circle C” soldiers also served as a constant symbol of the United States’ resolve to reconstruct a devastated Germany and help shape it into a trusted friend and ally.

	Public War, Private Fight? The United States and Private Military Companies. Occasional Paper 12
	by Deborah C. Kidwell
	Public War, Private Fight? The United States and Private Military Companies provides another case study for use by modern military leaders to help them prepare themselves and their soldiers for operations in the current conflict. This work examines the widespread use of contractors by the military to help fill the massive and complex logistical requirements of a modern military force. Ms. Kidwell examines the use of Private Military Companies (PMC) as far back as the American Revolution and follows their evolution through the War with Mexico, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and the first Gulf War. She then analyzes the use of PMCs in Operation ENDURING FREEDOM and Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Ms Kidwell concludes that PMCs will be an increasingly important facet of US military operations for the foreseeable future; however, the use of contractors on the battlefield is not a panacea for all logistics problems. Logisticians, contractors, and military leaders who have responsibility for such operations in the current conflict against terror will gain useful insights to the advantages and disadvantages of these combat multipliers after reading this Occasional Paper.

	Circle the Wagons: The History of US Army Convoy Security. Occasional Paper 13
	by Richard E. Killblane
	Mr. Killblane provides a brief overview of the US Army’s experience in convoy operations and convoy protection from the period of the War with Mexico up to and including the current conflict. He then presents an in-depth look at the development of “hardened convoy” tactics, techniques, and procedures, focusing on the 8th Transportation Group’s experiences in Vietnam. That group had the dubious honor of conducting its missions along Highway 19, arguably the most dangerous stretch of road during the Vietnam War. Killblane describes the group’s initial experiences and how, over time, various commanders and soldiers developed methods and means of defeating the enemy’s evolving tactics.

He then reviews case studies in which the armed forces were called on to support civil authorities and examines how military leaders dealt with the provisions of the act. Finally, Mr. Matthews calls for a much-needed review of the act, now more than 125 years old.

	The US Military’s Experience in Stability Operations, 1789-2005. Occasional Paper 15
	by Lawrence A. Yates
	Dr. Yates makes several key arguments about the Army’s involvement in stability operations (SO). Among the key points he makes is his contention that the Army has an institutional habit of forgetting the lessons learned about SO, when after conducting a stability operation, it returns to conventional warfare preparation. He also points out, correctly, that the Army, which has participated in far more SO-type activities since 1789 than it has conventional wars, has hitherto retained a mindset that stability operations are the anomaly rather than the norm in American military operations.

	Boots on the Ground: Troop Density in Contingency Operations. Occasional Paper 16
	by John J. McGrath
	Using five historical examples of contingency operations, the Philippine Insurrection, Post-WW II Germany and Austria, Post-WWII Japan, the Malayan Emergency (British), and the Balkans conflict, the author determines key factors that affect the decision of how many soldiers should be employed in a contingency operation. He looks at geography, population density, terrain, availability and location of non-indigenous forces, and availability of indigenous or substitute forces, i.e., local police or military, or contractors. The author also studies five large metro police departments from around the United States to identify those factors that affect how many police are deployed to provide law enforcement support to communities. Many post-conflict contingency operations are more law enforcement and peacekeeping than combat. Therefore, the analysis of municipal police departments provides an overlay of factors to be considered when police actions are a part of a contingency operation.

	Out of Bounds: Transnational Sanctuary in Irregular Warfare. Occasional Paper 17
	by Thomas A. Bruscino, Jr.
	This monograph uses two case studies to examine the role played by military sanctuaries as they relate to irregular warfare. In the first of two case studies, Out of Bounds looks at the United States’ efforts to counter the advantages gained by the Viet Cong (and later the North Vietnamese Army) with sanctuaries in Cambodia, and Laos during the Vietnam War. It uses this example to point out the diplomatic, military, and economic challenges that develop when attempting to prevent the use of transnational sanctuaries by irregular forces. The second case study examines the Soviet incursion into Afghanistan in the 1980s, but this time from the perspective of the Mujahideen insurgency. This section of the book illustrates the advantages accrued by the Afghan resistance through the use of Pakistan as a sanctuary, the Soviet efforts to neutralize those advantages, and the Mujahideen’s responses to overcome Soviet actions.

	Advising Indigenous Forces: American Advisors in Korea, Vietnam, and El Salvador. Occasional Paper 18
	by Robert D. Ramsey III
	The Army has recently embarked on massive advisory missions with foreign militaries in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere around the globe. We are simultaneously engaged in a huge effort to learn how to conduct those missions for which we do not consistently prepare. Mr. Robert Ramsey’s historical study examines three cases where the US Army has performed this same mission in the last half of the 20th century. In Korea during the 1950s, in Vietnam in the 1960s and 1970s, and in El Salvador in the 1980s the Army was tasked to build and advise host nation armies during a time of war. The author makes several key arguments about the lessons the Army thought it learned at the time.

	The US Army on the Mexican Border: A Historical Perspective. Occasional Paper 22
	by Matt Matthews
	Between 1846 and the early decades of the 20th century, the US Army carried out its security missions under a variety of hardships imposed by the massive length of border and shortage of soldiers to police it, Mexican domestic and international politics greatly affected the Army's operations. Since the 1920s, the Army's role dramatically changed to varied forms of support to local, state, and Federal civilian agencies. Mr. Matthew's narrative brings to light these complexities and makes for compelling reading.

	Robert Ramsey analyzes case studies from two key Philippine military districts and highlights several themes that are relevant to today’s ongoing operations in the Long War. Between 1899 and 1902 the US Army was successful in defeating Filipino resistance to American occupation using what military leaders at the time called a combination of attraction and coercion. However, success came only after initial setbacks, disappointments, and significant changes in leadership, military strategy, and political adaptation.

	We Were Caught Unprepared: The 2006 Hezbollah-Israeli War. Occasional Paper 26
	by Matt Matthews
	Matt Matthews’s historical analysis of the war includes an examination of IDF and Hezbollah doctrine prior to the war, as well as an overview of the operational and tactical problems encountered by the IDF during the war. His research convincingly argues that the Israeli reliance on poorly understood and controversial Effects-Based Operations (EBO) and Systemic Operational Design (SOD) warfighting theories, and a nearly singular dependence on air power, were root causes of Israeli problems. Additionally, after years of counterinsurgency (COIN) operations in the Gaza Strip and West Bank territories, IDF ground forces were tactically unprepared and untrained to fight against a determined Hezbollah force that conducted what was, in many ways, a conventional, fixed-position defense. In researching this study, Mr. Matthews interviewed several prominent IDF officers and other experts in the field, many of whom had not previously been interviewed. The result is an insightful, comprehensive examination of the war.

	The Challenge of Adaptation: the US Army in the Aftermath of Conflict, 1953-2000. Occasional Paper 27
	by Robert T. Davis II
	Using three case studies from the late twentieth century, Mr. Robert Davis examines the processes by which the US Army sought to prepare itself for the future after the conclusion of a major conflict. It is essentially a study of how, in the wake of major conflict, the Army “learned its lessons.” In each of these periods—post Korean War, post Vietnam War, and post Cold War—the Army examined its existing institutional structures and processes, force structure, training and educational systems, and doctrine to prepare for an uncertain future. This study suggests approaches which Army leaders may wish to keep in mind as they continues to adapt to evolving circumstances and realities.

	Military Interventions in Sierra Leone: Lessons from a Failed State. Occasional Paper 28
	by Larry J. Woods and COL Timothy R. Reese
	This Occasional Paper is a survey and analysis of the series of external military interventions in Sierra Leone between 1993 and 2002. Though each of these interventions achieved some local or temporary success, until late 2000 none of them succeeded in creating a security situation that could foster a political solution to Sierra Leone's woes. Each intervention ran afoul of Sierra Leone’s ethnic divisions, ineffective and corrupt governments and meddling neighbor states. Equally important to the purposes of this study, each of these military interventions was hampered by internal problems and ineffectiveness. Since 2002 a fragile veneer of democratic normalcy has been in place, UN programs have disarmed more than 70,000 fighters, and the economy of Sierra Leone is recovering. Sierra Leone remains, however, one of the very poorest countries in the world by nearly every measure.

	Army Support during the Hurricane Katrina Disaster. Occasional Paper 29
	by James A. Wombwell
	In preparation for and reaction to the hurricane, the United States Northern Command established Joint Task Force Katrina at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, to act as the Active component’s on-scene commander. Some 22,000 Active-Duty personnel eventually assisted with relief-and-recovery operations in Mississippi and Louisiana. At the same time, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and three territories sent approximately 50,000 National Guard personnel to deal with the storm’s aftermath. These men and women were instrumental in the rescue-and-relief mission, often using their own initiative and resources in the chaotic aftermath of the storm. Army Support During the Hurricane Katrina Disaster, by Mr. James A. Wombwell, offers a dispassionate analysis of the Army’s response to the natural disaster by providing a detailed account of the operations in Louisiana and Mississippi.

	The US Army and the Media in the 20th Century
	by Robert T. Davis II
	Dr. Davis surveys the US Army’s approach to media relations from the Spanish-American War to the first Gulf War. The relationship between the Army and the media is considered in the broader context of the US Government’s approach to information management. Given the growing importance of information operations in 21st century warfare, this study provides a succinct overview of how the US Army has approached its relations with the media over the previous century. The study highlights the recurrent tension that exists in both the Army and the US Government’s information management writ large. This tension arises from the need for operational security and effective deception and psychological operations and the need to provide transparency to secure public acceptance and support for military operations. The long-running debate over how the Government’s information management should be organized and operated reflects this tension. Thus, since World War I a number of bureaucratic manifestations of information management have been tried in wartime, including the Committee on Public Information, the Office of War Information, the Psychological Strategy Board, the United States Information Agency, and, most recently, the Office of Global Communications. With the exception of the United States Information Agency, whose tenure spanned the period from 1953 to 1999, all the other manifestations of bureaucratic information management rose and fell during the wars in which they were created. The growing pains of these organizations sometimes colored the Army’s relationship with the media. The need for units in the field to participate in information management is a major challenge for future operations. This study reminds us that those commanders who have gone out of their way to engage the media have, in many cases, had the greatest success with information management.
