I think this article - http://afs.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/22/2/257 - argues it was Marine personnel policy that contributed to success at Chosin.(Mod's note - article behind a...

official histories of, say, Desert Storm, or OIF I, and then trying to extrapolate fuel requirements from them? I think, also, OIF I's official history has a footnote on the Red Ball Express (I...

I would approach from a few different perspectives.
1) Good question; when phrased this way, I'm not sure. I would say that to me, what defines a profession is (a) there is uncertainty...
Hi,

This has, I think, relevant Hammes...

Hi,
I was wondering what people think are the equivalent(s) (if any) to USNI Proceedings. I think of AWC Parameters and NWC Review as roughly comparable, to each other, but not to Proceedings;...
