Factors Of METT-T
The force utilized on town of Châtel-Chéhéry by the US 28th and 82nd Divisions seems to have forced the Germans to retreat from their advancing positions across the Argonne forest. This releasing the 77th Division that was surrounded for five days in a ravine southwest of Hill 223.

When we applied the factors of METT-T (Mission, Enemy, Terrain and Weather, Troops, and Time) we find out the following:

The Mission – US 328th Infantry Regiment was to attack north and west of Hill 223 and secure the Decauville Railroad. The German mission was to defend the railroad system.

Troop – US 82nd Division was fresh compared with the German 2nd Wurttemberg Landwehr Division that were fighting since 1914. The picture at the top right illustrates camouflaged

    82nd Airborne Division History

    The Division's assignment was to relieve the 26th Division in the Lagney Sector, northeast of Toul. That section of the western front was known as the Woevre Front. The mission was conducted on 25 June 1918. Although the area was considered a defensive sector, the 82nd Division actively patrolled and conducted raids. The first large scale raid by the Division occurred on 4 August 1918 when companies K and M of the 326th Infantry Regiment, supported by the 320th Machine Gun Battalion, attacked German positions at Flirey and penetrated over 600 meters. The raid was small compared to the operations the Division would soon conduct, but it provided valuable experience. On 18 July 1918, the sector was reduced and redesignated Lucey at which time command was given to the 82nd Division. On 10 August 1918, the 82nd Division was relieved by the 89th Division, and moved to the…

    Battle of Belleau Wood

    In March 1918, with nearly 50 additional divisions freed by the Russian surrender on the Eastern Front, the German Army launched a series of attacks on the Western Front, hoping to defeat the Allies before U.S. forces could be fully deployed. In the north, the British 5th Army was virtually destroyed by two major offensive operations, Michael and Georgette around the Somme. A third offensive launched in May against the French between Soissons and Reims, known as the Third Battle of the Aisne, saw the Germans reach the north bank of the Marne river at Château-Thierry, 95 kilometres (59 mi) from Paris, on 27 May. Two U.S. Army divisions, the 2nd and the 3rd, were thrown into the Allied effort to stop the Germans. On 31 May, the 3rd Division held the German advance at Château-Thierry and the German advance turned right towards Vaux and Belleau Wood.[3]…

    The Battle of 73 Easting was a battle fought in Iraq approximately 50 miles east of Al Busayyah between United States Army’s 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment and the Tawakalna Division from the elite Iraqi Republican Guard during the Gulf War period. The battle occupied the date of 26 February, 1991. The battle didn’t last very long but compared to the intensity it seemed like days. The main unit involved on the U.S. side was Eagle Troop, 2nd Squadron, 2nd ACR, but other 2nd ACR Troops, Iron, Killer, and Ghost Troop, had joined the fighting at 73 Easting as well. I chose this battle because Major General H.R. McMaster then Eagle Troops Commanding Officer is Fort Bening, GA’s Commanding General and he personally came and spoke to our Tank Company about this battle and its importance in the future. I will give an analysis of the battle, describing the conditions the battle was fought in, the mission, the action of the battle, and lessons learned from the battle.…

    Mission Command

    With German forces on the run following the Allied success at Normandy and the breakout and pursuit across France, Allied forces were staged to enter Germany in late summer 1944. Both Field Marshal Montgomery and General Bradley clamored to be given the priority of effort. General Eisenhower chose Montgomery’s Operation MARKET GARDEN as the plan for action. It called for airborne forces to open the route for a ground force to move more than sixty miles up a single road, ending up north of the Rhine River near Arnhem, Netherlands. By accomplishing this task, the German Ruhr industrial heartland would be within easy grasp. But the operation failed. The ground force did not make it to the last bridge; it was six more months before Allied forces crossed the Lower Rhine River near Arnhem. Between 17 and 26 September 1944, there were 17,000 Allied casualties including eighty percent of the 1st Airborne Division (UK). The historical evidence overwhelmingly shows that the British 1st Airborne Division lost the Battle of Arnhem because of poor planning. This paper will prove the failure of The Battle of Arnhem was not solely the fault of MG Roy Urquhart. Although this was his first command of such a division (being an "outsider") could he have not completed his wartime mission any better despite having inexperienced leaders planning airborne operations, bad intelligence, allowing the Air Force to plan the DZs based off what was best for the air movement plan and poor execution. This paper examines MG Urquhart, the commander of 1st Airborne Division (UK).…

The 200th Regiment spent the coming months training and getting used to their surroundings at Fort Stotsenberg (Staff, 2009).

    Ia Drang Valley Battle Analysis

    forces had tested and proven the effectiveness of a well-trained airmobile unit. LTC Moore’s effective leadership throughout the battle, and conscious decision to levy risk where appropriate, led to the success and survival of many of his troops. The lack of intelligence and understanding of the area had LTC Moore’s unit directly on top of an overwhelming enemy force; an underestimation of the enemy’s ability to mass effectively. For the PAVN, this battle was strategically significant in that it gave promise of victory in the combating high-tech U.S. weapons and new airmobile tactic. They tested and knew what U.S. force were capable of achieving; the fact they were able to maintain an effective fight in this battle was significant motivation for the remaining battles such as the Tet offensive in the following…
