Synopsis "The United States Army, 1945-Present: Korea, Vietnam, AirLand Battle, the Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Multi-Domain Force (Contemporary Armies)"

Modern battlefields reward armies that can turn manpower, doctrine, technology and logistics into coordinated action under pressure. Understanding how the U.S. Army learned to do that reveals the deeper story behind eight decades of American land power. The United States Army, 1945-Present follows that transformation from the rapid demobilization after World War II through Korea, Vietnam, the all-volunteer force, AirLand Battle, Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan and the emergence of Multi-Domain Operations. Kian O'Sullivan connects battles to the institution behind them, showing how training, command culture, force structure, maintenance, logistics, weapons and soldiers combined to create usable combat power. Inside this volume: - How Korea and Vietnam reshaped readiness, airmobility, leadership and force generation - How the all-volunteer Army, TRADOC, realistic training and AirLand Battle rebuilt professional combat power - What Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan revealed about combined arms, sustainment, adaptation and prolonged deployment - How long-range fires, drones, air defence, electronic warfare and contested logistics are reshaping the Army of the 2020s The result is a connected military history of an institution repeatedly forced to learn, rebuild and adapt. Readers will understand how a mass wartime army became a Cold War force, how professionalism and doctrine transformed it after Vietnam, why the 1991 Gulf War represented a particular institutional peak, how two decades of counterinsurgency altered the force, and why large-scale warfare has again changed the Army's priorities. For military-history readers, defence enthusiasts, veterans, model makers, wargamers and students of modern warfare, this volume provides the context behind the familiar weapons and campaigns. You finish with a clearer understanding of how the U.S. Army generates combat power, how it sustains that power in the field, and how eight decades of experience shaped the force that entered the 2020s.
