| Summary / Abstract (Note) | With the current focus on expeditionary operations, it may seem strange to revisit old Cold War scenarios in staff rides. There is, of course, no anticipation of a return to large-scale East - West confrontation or industrial war. Nevertheless, United Shield derived a set of timeless lessons and raised many intriguing questions about war fighting and international cooperation in campaigns. Major General Melvin gives a first-hand account of the issues and debates stirred up by the exercise. |
