Rear Area Security In The Field Army Service Area.

Abstract

This study evaluates the adequacy of current U.S. Army doctrine for security in the field army service area. The evaluation is based on historical experience modified by modern capabilities. A detailed analysis of the Russian Partisan movement in the rear areas of the German armies during World War II develops certain constants and parameters that remain valid independent of time. An investigation of current Soviet Army tactical doctrine identifies that country's capabilities for employing regular forces and partisans against the rear area of a future invader.
