Book excerpt: Operation Allied Force was a major NATO success. The Alliance withstood competing national agendas and divisive political pressures while conducting a 78-day campaign that ended violence against Albanian Kosovars. Serb forces withdrew from Kosovo and refugees returned home. Yet the conflict also raised questions. While many of the controversies were debated on the levels of policy and strategy differences on the operational role of U.S. joint forces also arose. Task Force Hawk was the most visible case. Intended to supplement airpower by using the AH-64 helicopter and multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), its mission proved to be controversial among senior U.S. military officers. In addition, operations revealed major failures in the integration of ground and air forces.
Book Synopsis Task Force Hawk: Operational Mobility Lessons for the Joint Force Commander by :
Download or read book Task Force Hawk: Operational Mobility Lessons for the Joint Force Commander written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deployment of the U.S. Army Task Force (TF) Hawk during Operation Allied Force challenged the ability of the U.S. military to provide a robust capability for operational mobility in the overlap between inter- and intra-theater mobility. This paper identifies operational mobility challenges faced by the Joint Force Commander (JFC) by studying the deployment of TF Hawk and makes recommendations for the JFC to solve these problems. TF Hawk is briefly reviewed, then specific operational mobility lessons are identified using the Principles of Logistics as a framework. The JFC, understanding the lessons for operational mobility of TF Hawk, can take action to overcome and mitigate the challenges that threaten to undermine responsiveness and flexibility and limit his courses of action. Close coordination and cooperation between the supported commander, the supporting commanders, and their respective component commanders will ensure operational mobility is achievable using the right mix of inter- and intra-theater transportation assets. In addition, enhanced efficiency during deployment and careful consideration of attainability while planning for deployment will ensure the right forces are delivered to the right place at the right time to support the commander's concept of operations.

Book excerpt: Many view Operation Allied Force as a model of efficiency from plan to execution. No conflict in history, of this magnitude, can claim zero combat fatalities. The United States led a complex coalition effort under the NATO umbrella that saw an end to the ethnic cleansing atrocities in Kosovo and ultimately the removal of Slobodan Milosevic from power. So why isn't this 78 days war the model for future conflicts? What have we learned in the application of operational art and how will we apply it to future conflicts? What decisions led to the deployment of a 5500 soldier strong Army contingent known as Task Force Hawk and why were they never employed? Analysts almost universally agree that below the surface, Operation Allied Force was an operation flawed in political and strategic direction that never applied the optimum means to accomplish the ill defined and constantly evolving objectives. Probability and chance played as much a role in the positive outcome as did operational design factors. It worked against a weak foe -- a risk we should avoid in the future. The strategic (political) and operational conditions never existed for the employment of Task Force Hawk as an operational maneuver force. The systems were appropriate for conducting joint operational fire and maneuver, however the timing all but eliminated any chance of employment. Without surprise, multiple directions of attack, and a legitimate ground threat to occupy ground forces, Task Force Hawk could at best hope to achieve tactical effects. Future Joint operations will present the same challenges experienced during Operation Allied Force. We see many of the same in Afghanistan today. Let's hope we have learned from our 'successes' of the past instead of mirroring them.

Book Synopsis Kosovo Air Operations by : U S Government Accountability Office (G
Download or read book Kosovo Air Operations written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army deployed its team, called Task Force Hawk, to participate in a Kosovo combat operation known as Operation Allied Force. This report (1) examines how Task Force Hawk's concept of operation compared to Army and joint doctrine, (2) reviews the lessons learned identified from the operation and determines the status of actions to address those lessons, and (3) examines the extent to which the Army and the Air Force were able to operate together as a joint force. GAO concludes that Task Force Hawk's deep attacks against Serbian forces in Kosovo was consistent with doctrine, but was not typical in that the task force was supporting an air campaign rather than its more traditional role of being used in conjunction with Army ground forces to engage massed formations of enemy armor. The Army identified 107 items that require remedial action. As of January 2001, 47 of the 107 items had been recommended for closure. Action is in process for the remaining 60 lessons. Finally, the Army and the Air Force experienced significant problems in their ability to work together jointly and the interoperability of the command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence equipment used during the operation. The Army is working on both issues aggressively. However, it will take time for results to be seen.

Book Synopsis A Contemporary History of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps by :
Download or read book A Contemporary History of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps written by and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on an organization, the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, which the author has been privileged to be affiliated with – in one way or another – for the greatest part of her adult life. As an active duty officer, the author had first-hand knowledge about the Army Nurse Corps inner workings and spent the last years of her Army career (from 1992) researching and writing the Corps history. One of her goals in researching and writing this history was to intrigue and provide a sense of gratification for the reader. After the conclusion of the Vietnam War, several wide-ranging and significant changes exerted myriad effects on the Army Nurse Corps. The most influential of these phenomena included the dismantling of the Selective Service System, the reorganization of the Army, the launch of the Health Services Command (HSC), the opening of the Academy of Health Sciences, the transformation of the Office of the Army Surgeon General, the inauguration of improvements in the Army Reserve and National Guard, and the evolution in the roles and status of women.

Book Synopsis "Ruck it Up!" by : Charles Edward Kirkpatrick
Download or read book "Ruck it Up!" written by Charles Edward Kirkpatrick and published by U.S. Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2006 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?The transformation of V Corps from a traditional tank-heavy corps committed to a high intensity battle in central Europe to a lighter, more deployable reaction force simply based in central Europe is an exemplar of the changes that confronted the army at large to be sustained. This narrative outlines the major shifts in the operational context in which V Corps found itself after 1990 and discusses the major military operations in which the corps took part. Those operations gave the headquarters the essential "feedback" to adjust its organization and training to be more in synch with the requirements it faced. The study offers some tentative conclusions about the process of transformation of the Army in Europe, as seen from the perspective of one heavy, mechanized corps.

Book Synopsis NATO's Air War for Kosovo by : Benjamin S. Lambeth
Download or read book NATO's Air War for Kosovo written by Benjamin S. Lambeth and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2001-11-16 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a thorough appraisal of Operation Allied Force, NATO's 78-day air war to compel the president of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic, to end his campaign of ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. The author sheds light both on the operation's strengths and on its most salient weaknesses. He outlines the key highlights of the air war and examines the various factors that interacted to induce Milosevic to capitulate when he did. He then explores air power's most critical accomplishments in Operation Allied Force as well as the problems that hindered the operation both in its planning and in its execution. Finally, he assesses Operation Allied Force from a political and strategic perspective, calling attention to those issues that are likely to have the greatest bearing on future military policymaking. The book concludes that the air war, although by no means the only factor responsible for the allies' victory, certainly set the stage for Milosevic's surrender by making it clear that he had little to gain by holding out. It concludes that in the end, Operation Allied Force's most noteworthy distinction may lie in the fact that the allies prevailed despite the myriad impediments they faced.

Book Synopsis Airlift Capabilities for Future U.S. Counterinsurgency Operations by : Robert C. Owen
Download or read book Airlift Capabilities for Future U.S. Counterinsurgency Operations written by Robert C. Owen and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current and probable future United States involvement in counterinsurgencies revives a long-standing debate about whether these missions call for adding specialized aircraft, training, or other resources to the general military airlift fleet. The authors examine the use of airlift in past and present counterinsurgency operations, including the Foreign Internal Defense program. They conclude that general U.S. airlift forces can accomplish most counterinsurgency missions effectively, with adjustments in employment doctrines and training. However, they also note that continued operations likely will require reinforcement of the general airlift fleet and, perhaps, acquisition of a small fleet element optimized for certain counterinsurgency missions.
