OF the Reserve OfncerS ASSocla-
ton at the Sheraton Park Hotel
1.-THE decisive application OF
power will occur in the first few
hours or the first few days of the
conflict, not as the climax OF
several years of buildup behind
the shield of holding actions,
Gen. Hall said.
"Of course there are some who
expect that after a brief ex-
change with nuclear weapons by
the opposing air forces the war
would be fought in the usual
manner with conventional weap-
ons." he continued. This view
is difficult to reconcile with the
fact that even a limited exchange
with atomic weapons would I'M
leash more destructive power
than all the wars of history.
Considering the resultant de-
struction it is inconceivable
that land and sea forces would
be employed in the traditional
manner-that is. to fight pro-
longed campaigns at the end of
extended supply lines until a
buildup for decisive surface ac-
ton could be completed" he said.
Now this does not mean that
