Book Description
In view of their crucial importance to military success, mobilization and logistics deserve thorough attention from historians. Although the Army's ability to mobilize has improved in recent years, much remains to be done, and the Korean War experience can provide valuable insights. Planners involved in the attempt to perfect current automated manpower mobilization systems need to prepare for possible strains and even collapse of those systems. In an emergency, we may have to rely on manual methods such as those that saw us through the Korean War. Industrial preparedness also has received increased emphasis and support in the last decade. But in this area, as well, there is much to be learned from the Korean War's partial mobilization. Finally, we can study with profit the problems encountered in supplying the large forces that we fielded in Korea. Planners who deal with theater logistics could benefit from detailed analysis, solidly grounded in original sources, of those problems and the solutions devised for them during the war. This monograph should provide impetus to examine Korean War mobilization and logistics. Through a discussion of the available literature, the author presents an overview of the most pertinent issues addressed thus far. He then suggests how future investigators might elaborate on particular points, and offers topics that warrant further research. WILLIAM A. STOFFT Brigadier General, USA Chief of Military History

Under Army Orders
Author: William M. DonnellyPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Between 1950 and 1953, 138,600 Army National Guardsmen -- 43 percent of the force -- were called up for federal service. In Under Army Orders William M. Donnelly illuminates one of the more obscure aspects of U.S. involvement in the Korean conflict, focusing on what it meant to be a citizensoldier caught up in an international struggle that raged both hot and cold. Donnelly begins by examining the reconstitution of the guard after World War II. Next he offers the first indepth look at the army's use of the guard during the Korean conflict, detailing the experiences of guard units mobilized during this period by following them from the alert notice to postmobilization training and then through their use by the army for the remainder of their federal service. Previous attention given to the guard during the Korean War has focused on the units sent to Korea; while those units provided critical reinforcements for the Eighth Army in 1951, they amounted to only 14 percent of mobilized units. Under Army Orders also sheds light on what it was like to live in America during the early Cold War. The National Guard's dual statefederal status, its strong local ties, and its powerful lobbying organization made it a force at all levels of American society during this period. And through the mobilization of guard units, the costs of the Truman administration's decisions were passed on to many American communities and homes. The partial mobilization of the guard for the Korean War raised questions of equity of sacrifice that would foreshadow events fifteen years later. Military historians and general readers alike can mark the halfcentury that has passed since the Korean War by reading Donnelly's study. Military planners and political leaders will consult this book when charting the guard's role in conflicts yet to come.

Book Description
"Army Reserve Heritage, 1775-Present. The citizen-soldiers of the American Revolution were the precursors of Army Reserve Soldiers-warrior-citizens --- who proudly serve our country today. Through the years, in the Civil War, Mexican Expedition, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Bosnia, and the Global War on Terrorism, federal citizen-soldiers have answered the call to duty. Army Reserve Soldiers have also contributed to our national security through humanitarian and nation-building actions both overseas and at home. Such activities have included aid to Somalia and Bangladesh, Kurdish relief efforts in Iraq, medical aid in Latin America, and disaster relief overseas and at home. Today's Army Reserve is ready to meet the challenges of the 21st century as it has in the past."--
