The Evolution of Division Level Non-Nuclear Fire Support Coordination of Organic, Attached, and Supporting Ground Weapons and Supporting Aircraft in the United States Infantry Division from 1942 to 1945.

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to trace the evolution of fire support coordination and control at the United States infantry division level through World War II. Coverage is restricted to organic, attached, and supporting ground weapons and supporting aircraft. Troop safety measures are examined briefly in their relationship to fire support control and coordination. The study is based primarily upon division after-action reports and observer reports during periods of active combat from 1942 to 1945.
