Heavy Brigade Deep Battle. Fact or Friction.
Abstract
This monograph examines the ability of current and future heavy brigades to conduct effective deep operations. Current doctrine states that heavy brigades conduct deep operations as part of the overall battlefield framework. Heavy brigades have very limited intelligence, attack, and command and control assets to use in conducting deep operations. Due to the limitations of available assets there is considerable debate within the Army about whether or not brigades actually conduct deep operations. The monograph is divided into five sections. Section one establishes the purpose of the study and the significance of the research question to the Army. Section two is a historical perspective on the development of deep operations theory and doctrine and concludes with the current definition of deep operations. Section three analyzes the ability of current heavy brigades to conduct effective deep operations. Section four analyzes the ability of future heavy brigades to conduct effective deep operations. The final section offers conclusions and implications. (MM)
