AIRBORNE WARFARE: MOBILE COLUMNS NO SUPPLY BASES UPDATED 18 December 2009 FUTURE AIRBORNE WARFARE: MOBILE COLUMNS WITHOUT FIXED SUPPLY BASES VIDEO: How the U.S. Army Airborne should Power Project by Parachute Airdrop www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcSwXW49J_I The supply by air of Airborne forces in the enemy's rear areas is basically a technical problem which can be solved.' Franz Halder, German Chief of Staff WWII War is full of lost opportunities: Falaise Gap (40,000 Germans escaped) Anzio (Rome not taken) Drive over Belgium in 1944 and later Arnhem; (Rhine crossing bridge lost) Often these opportunities are not exploited because adequate supplies were not there to support an advance upon the enemy.

Attempts were made to make a breakthrough and focus a spearhead to cut the enemy's 'jugular' but either the Germans at the spearpoint were too good or our forces/supplies were too thin to properly exploit success. Part of Attrition warfare is the need for huge amounts of supplies to enable the force to kill every on every battlefield.

Many commanders felt then, and many do today that large logistics bases are needed to conduct this style of warfare. Unfortunately both Amphibious warfare (usmc) and Airborne warfare (XVIII th Airborne Contingency Corps) forces are now in the mind-set that their mission is to be the specialists 'who knock the door down',--and let someone else reinforce and finish the job of defeating the nation-state war (NSW) enemy. This is Amphibious/Airborne base seizure not warfare, or an 'Anzio' mentality of ' Seize & Hold'. After flanking the Germans at Anzio, the road to Rome was undefended but ignored as supplies were built-up on the beach. By the time the force was ready to move out, the Germans had moved in, almost pushing the entire force off the beach. We dropped in the nick-of-time to, when if we had Seized & Maneuvered right away, we would have taken Rome--the capital city of Italy and knocked her out of the war in 1943 by collapsing the Axis Mussolini government!

Instead of SS Colonel Skorzeny rescuing him, U.S. Paratroops should have killed/captured him in an Airborne raid--like we nabbed Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega in 1989. We would have already been in southern Germany by early 1944 ready to support the cross-channel D-Day landings instead of being a drain on its supplies. Studies/improvements since that time have only led to a larger foothold being desired by these forces; be it force beachhead line, airhead recon/security zone etc. In the 1999 U.S. Army Command & General Staff College School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) Report ' Provide by Parachute: Airdrop in Vietnam, 1954-1972' by Major John A. Tokar above, he explains how parachute airdrop resupply had progressed beyond the French failure at Dien Bien Phu to the Siege of Khe Sanh where airdrop saved the trapped and ungrateful marines who let themselves get surrounded in the low ground--just like the French.

Www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXRKCf8JW7k www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRu-OCbmoVE When North Vietnamese Army (NVA) artillery closed down aircraft from airlanding on the runway, the USAF went to work parachuting supplies to sustain the trapped marines and ARVN Rangers until the helicopter-airmobile, 1 st Air Cavalry Division could break the siege and open Highway 9 so the gyrenes could flee from the base. The foot-slogger, line-infantry, narcissist, USMC refused to make the Secretary of Defense McNamara's to keep out NVA closed-terrain infiltration, then failed to even patrol overmatching maneuver forces from Khe Sanh to protect themselves from outside --much less secure South Vietnam. We were inviting a replay of the Dien Bien Phu defeat all over again--had it not been for USAF airdrop resupply and wily General Giap only wanting Khe Sanh to be a diversion from the upcoming 1968 Tet offensive.
