Detail of Selected Officers of Ground Forces to Air Weather Service
Abstract
To improve the ground forces use of weather in planning and operations. World War II produced a large number of ground officers with combat and staff experience who were extremely weather conscious. They understand the importance of weather, but they do not understand its potentialities of employment in planning and operations. Since the movement of infantry and armor is so closely allied to air participation, weather is multiplied in importance to the ground forces. After all other factors have been considered, weather determines when an amphibious assault is to be made (See Annex I) and when the logistical buildup can support the beachhead breakout.
