19th Century Irregular Warfare in the American Southwest: A Study of James H. Carleton and George R. Crook
Abstract
As the United States continued to expand it residually pushed the Native American population further west. The U.S. Army was forced to act as an ameliorating force between the local population and the Indians. Generals James Carleton and George Crook each implemented a suitable application of an operational and tactical counter-guerrilla program against the Apache and Navajo Indians in the American southwest, based on the education, experience, and limited forms of doctrine that were available at the time. Generals Carleton and Crook ended much of the conflict by countering Indian raiding and conflict in the American southwest by using self-generated Tactics Techniques and Procedures (TTPs).
