Weapons Effects in Cities. Volume 1
Abstract
The primary study objectives are: (a)to determine whether there are significant deficiencies in the information available for evaluating the city fighting effectiveness of standard U.S. ground force weapons, and (b)where physical testing could address such deficiencies, to develop the nature of the tests needed. The study analyzes combat experience since WWII to determine the major combat functions and weapon uses in city fighting. Existing U.S. weapons capabilities and the available supporting effectiveness data are examined. Findings related to the study objectives, as well as additional insights obtained, are presented.
