Leadership and Command on the Battlefield. Operation JUST CAUSE and DESERT STORM

Abstract

The mandate behind this report is Capture how successful battlefield commanders at brigade, division and corps--the tactical echelons of command that get battalions to the right place, at the right time, and in the right combinations to fight and win battles, engagements, and campaigns--commanded their units in combat. Identify commonalities in techniques and procedures used at these echelons of command during Operations JUST CAUSE and DESERT STORM. Through the interview process, find out how they issued intent and orders during combat, where they positioned themselves on the battlefield, who they carried with them, and question them on other insights that facilitated their ability to command and lead their units during battle. Distill the findings, publish them, and distribute to the field. Success rests on the ability to distribute a concise, readable, and useful pamphlet on command and leadership in battle that assists current and future combat leaders.
