Dur Decmaed and Widely Scattered Army May Take Some Weight
Soon and Become the Most Air.Minded Force in History
by John A. Giles

The Army finds itself on the threshold of what
might well be new era as the Nation prepares
to pay 1t homage Tuesday on the occasion of the
goth annual observance of Army Day.
For, while never before has such a program
been laid out for it in peacetime the Armys future
role in the defense OF the Nation also might come
in for some changes equally sweeping. The growth
Of air power and the atomic bomb makes this q
future possibility. -
/ > i The Army Of the future the actual strength
eof which Congress is now considering boosting by
approximately A per cent, is most likely to be the
most air-minded in the worlds history and its
future operations probably will embrace airhead-
q term comparable to the more familiar beachhead
operations involving an entire field army which
might well run up to q half million men.
Term New but Not Idea
Emphasis viii be placed on "air transporta-
bility," which includes not only the parachutists
and the glider troops but also those soldiers who
land in the big transports after the initial opera
tions and do the mopping up.
This will require planes and more planes and
the closest cooperation with the now independent
Air Force. 1t requires between TOO and 800 C-54-
type aircraft to move airborne division of about
10000 men, Then l6 per cent Of those planes are
needed for delivering support to that division
after 1t is at its target.
Air transportability Is q new term, but 1t Is
not new idea. An ar-transportable army OF the
Germans took Crete, and 1t was our adoption Of
the principles Of air transportability that enabled
the Allies to launch the initial airborne attacks
In Sicily. Normandy and across the Rhine.
It will be the main mission OF the Army Of
tomorrow to seize rapidly a. possible from
which we can literally pour it on from the air.
And then to push these bases steadily forward
toward strategic targets-at the same time pro-
tecting our own strategic materials sources such
as OIL uranium, rubber and the hardening metals
needed for tough steels used in jet engines.
There is no plan for Army ever to get into
slugging match with an enemy and the Nations
defense as Secretary Of Defense Forrestal continu
ally points out, calls for teamwork on the part OF
the Army, Navy and Air Force.
The fact that such slugging matches as
Napoleon and Hitler maneuvered themselves into
and lost-are passe does not eliminate the need for
an Army, however. For the much-publcised air
arm can retard but cannot stop ground forces and
Evening star., 1948-04-04

the substitute for ground forces to seize and hold
airbases has not been found
But as pointed out by Gen. Jacob l.. Devers
who directs the Armys training, there can be
definite ceiling upon the scope of airborne opera
tions in any future war; The number of transports
which would be required to move a field army is
sizable figure and it increases with the radius of
action Foreseeing this, our planners are laying
stress on the development of what is known as the
pod" which is roughly similar to the familiar
highway trailer. Employment OF transports with
detachable cargo compartments would reduce the
turn-around time in an airhead operation to
minimum and the compartments themselves would
be of immense value as shelters.
Air transportability of ground troops and
equipment and the establishment of an airhead

ing exercises last fall and winter. The exercises
yukon in Alaska and "Snowdrop' at Pine Camp
N. Y.-were significant in that they demonstrated
the difference in concept between strictly air.
landing procedure and an airborne operation in
which troops either parachute to the ground or
come to earth with their equipment in towed
gliders. In an arborne operation landed force is
dependent for its continuance in battle on lnk-up
with other forces proceeding into battle overland
while air transported troops are sustained by the
air landing of reinforcements and supplies.
Affair Army Studied
The eventual goal in the airborne field is the
provision of the means for ar-supply and ar-main-
tenance Of any required part of the Army in any
part Of the world. blueprint for the Affair Army

spiritual and political confusion.
Therein lies our great chance.
On November 2, there was this
entry:
In the evening we received the
preliminary draft of the final COM
munique. Stain has agreed to
unconditional surrender as de-
manded by Churchill and Roosevelt.
The Reich and Italy must deliver
up their so-called war criminals.
Austria Is to be independent again.
Fascism Is to be eliminated in
Italy. In addition, an international
organization for the safeguarding
of peace must be called into being.
In other words, this conference
ended with communique that Is a
mixture Of Bolshevik and League of
Nations phraseology.
Casualty figures for the East COW
ering the 10 days of October II to
20 inclusive are now available. The
number Of killed In action during
this period is 9,279. the number of
wounded 39,540, and the number
Of missing, $685. We just cannot
stand such drain for long. When
we consider our eastern campaign
has cost us 5000, 900 casualties-men
killed, missing or wounded-nobody
can deny that We have paid ex-
ceedingly heavily for this campaign.
Naturally the Soviets, too, have sus-
tanned tremendous losses, but they
are in better position to stand
them than We are. At some point
or other We simply must try to get
out Of this desperate blood-letting.
Otherwise we are in danger of slowly
bleeding to death in the East.
Discord Aggravated
And on November 3:
I am firmly convinced that the
Moscow negotiations have gone very
much in our favor, however little
1t may seem so at the moment.
Discord between the Soviets and the
Anglo-Americans has not been
eliminated, but, on the contrary. has
rather been aggravated. 3.

Stain spoke Of 1000, 900 casual

would be happy If we had 50 many
