When evaluating the joint function of C2 against the three attributes of mission command from joint doctrine: commander’s understanding, intent and mutual trust, multiple issues…

“The shortest way home is through Berlin and Tokyo.” That isn’t particularly smart, considering they are 8,911 km (or 5537.039 miles) apart. So why did General George Patton tell the 3rd Army this?

What we have today is not what we had over one…

2.2 Emotional Retaliation On a more emotional level, Truman may have hoped to wreak vengeance on the Japanese for atrocities in China and other countries, as well as against Allied prisoner-of-war; a way of retribution for Japans history of barbarianism and inhumane military acts. These actions brought much fury amongst American and certainly played a role in the decision to drop the bomb. Dropping the bomb presented a dramatic way to bring closure to anger, resentment and bitter memories.…
