Download or read book Combat Engineer, Pacific Theater written by Jay Divine and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat Engineer, Pacific Theater looks at the daily lives of ordinary young men who found themselves with a unique job to do at an extraordinary time and place in history. It tells the mostly untold story of the armys combat engineering battalions in the Pacific in World War II. As their name implies, the role of these soldiers was unique. They were trained both in construction and in combat, and were called upon to do both. With every step of the way contested, their job was to build an infrastructure for crossing the worlds biggest ocean, to take the fight to an implacable enemy where he lived. The focus is the experiences of the men in the ranks of the Thirty-Fourth Engineer Combat Battalion. Part of the Armys Twenty-Seventh Infantry Division, the battalion participated in two of the three largest and bloodiest amphibious assaults in military history, those of Saipan and Okinawa.

Book Synopsis Engineer Aviation Units In The Southwest Pacific Theater During WWII by : Major Natalie M. Pearson
Download or read book Engineer Aviation Units In The Southwest Pacific Theater During WWII written by Major Natalie M. Pearson and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis of this research is that the U.S. Army aviation engineer units played a crucial role in the success of General Douglas MacArthur’s island hopping campaign in the Southwest Pacific Theater at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels. Allied victory depended on seizing lightly defended enemy territory and neutralizing enemy strongpoints from Australia to the Philippines through the following pattern: conduct air and naval bombardment, land the assault forces, defeat any Japanese units in the area, and construct airfields and base facilities. This research demonstrates that aviation engineer units rapidly constructed these airbases and provided the necessary facilities for land-based aircraft so that carrier-based aircraft could focus on protecting the navy’s fleet.

Book Synopsis Combat Engineers of World War II by : U S Army Command and General Staff Coll
Download or read book Combat Engineers of World War II written by U S Army Command and General Staff Coll and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States Army combat engineers were not properly trained to conduct their mission during World War II. Research of combat engineer training and operations during the interwar period and subsequently in the Pacific, North African, and European theaters revealed the extraordinary efforts required both to train new engineers and to develop selectees into capable combat engineer units. This research demonstrates that significant reductions to military personnel levels and readiness during the interwar period required a hasty fielding of forces in wartime that were not trained to previously established standards. Wartime engineer units consisted of soldiers who did not meet prerequisites for entry into the branch. These factors resulted in officers who were not prepared to lead combat engineer operations and soldiers who lacked basic engineering skills to efficiently conduct their missions. Shortfalls in selection and training often necessitated remedial training in the theaters of operation.
