Problems of Field Tactics in Defense Against Area Weapons
Abstract
This is a working paper. The original intent was not to attempt either to define or exhaust the subject. The problems of field defense against atomic attack have been little regarded and are in any case much too vast to warrant the hope that any one man or group of men may explore to their practical and theoretical limits. About the best that any analyst may do is to bring a few basic ideas forward in the hope that they will encourage specialists in many fields to explore more deeply, either supporting the ideas with more competent proof or proving their falsity. That is all that has been attempted in this paper. The theory of a possible defense which is contained herein was brought forward simply because it seemed the best device by which to highlight the fallacies in other current theories about how future field defense should be organized to meet attack by area weapons. To make a purely negative approach to the discussion of the problem would in effect say that it is beyond solution.
