Between Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom: U.S. Army operations in the Middle East, 1991-2001
"The United States led military coalitions against Iraq in the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War and the 2003 overthrow of the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq. Although these events are among the most studied in recent American military history, the U.S. operations in the Middle East between the two conflicts are much less well known. This monograph fills this gap and recounts how the U.S. Army helped deter Iraqi aggression during this period. It also chronicles how the Army maintained a high tempo of operations during a decade of downsizing and consolidation"--
Army readiness reporting systems, 1945-2003
In: CMH pub 70-130
"The U.S. Army before 1945 did not have and did not need a formal readiness reporting system. After World War II, however, it found itself committed to large-scale deployments in Europe and in the Pacific, commitments that with the Cold War would continue for the next 45 years. The demands of this war, along with the wars in Korea and Vietnam, made it vital that senior service leaders had accurate information on the readiness of units in the Regular Army, the Army National Guard, and the Army Reserve. The methods for measuring readiness, however, soon became and then remained a matter of contention. Equally contentious was the use of data generated by readiness reporting systems, both within the service and by others outside the service. The end of the Cold War did not end these disputes. Indeed, the years between that victory and the start of the second Iraq war in 2003 were a time of heightened concern over military readiness and how to assess it."--Provided by publisher
Commanding generals and chiefs of staff, 1775-2018: portraits & biographical sketches of the United States Army's senior officer
In: CMH Pub 70-14
This volume provides short biographical sketches of the commanding generals and chiefs of staff who have led the United States Army. Their rise through the levels of leadership to the pinnacle of their profession reveals both striking parallels and equally fascinating contrasts. While their responsibilities have evolved over the years, the essential elements of leadership remain unchanged. The format of this volume combines biographical information along with the officially designated portraits and photographs of the commanding generals and chiefs of staff. It also includes brief accounts of the artists selected to paint the official portraits and photographers. As an aspect of the Army art program, these portraits add an interesting and revealing dimension to the biographer's words.--Provided by publisher
Secretaries of War and Secretaries of the Army: portraits & biographical sketches
In: CMH Pub 70-12
The Center of Military History first published Secretaries of War and Secretaries of the Army: Portraits & Biographical Sketches in 1981 during the bicentennial of the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution. The book reflected two major themes of the Army's commemoration: the role of the soldier-statesmen of the Revolution in the creation of our government and the constitutional principle of civilian control of the military. This updated printing continues to recognize those twin legacies. The first Secretaries of War were prominent members of the soldier-statesmen generation, and they and their successors have embodied the Founding Fathers' intent to ensure civilian leadership in military affairs.--Provided by publisher
