Thanks Tom. I've got all three of them already, and I practically burn the print off the pages so to speak. I also have the article you co-authored "Transformation: Victory Rests With Small Units", and I posted a link to it a few months ago on another board (I hope that's all right with you!). Between those and an article posted in the Infantry journal about ten years ago (I recently found it again on Free Republic) written by a Canadian officer in Rwanda who witnessed a Tutsi 3-team squad attack on a Hutu squad of the same size, my understanding of infantry tactics has been completely transformed.

General DePuy should not have been largely forgotten, or even ignored, outside of the US. The greatest Combined-Arms thinker of the last generation at least IMO. Funny, it seems the USMC has taken DePuy's teachings on infantry (especially PARFOX) closer to heart than the US Army.
