Remarkable military feat: the Hungnam redeployment, December 1950 / Chisholm, Donald   Journal Article
Chisholm, Donald Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract The difficulty . . . to be got over is to know how not only to invade with success; but likewise to retreat with safety. THOMAS MORE MOLYNEUX I kept the sea always on my flank; the transports attended the movements of the army as a magazine; and I had at all times, and every day, a short and easy communication with them. The army, therefore, could never be distressed for provisions or stores, however limited its means of land transport; and in case of necessity it might have embarked at any point of the coast. SIR ARTHUR WELLESLEY Amphibious operations exploit the great facility and inherent flexibility of movement and maneuver that the sea affords in order to concentrate military power at the decisive time and place ashore

Road not taken: conflict termination and guerrilaism in the American civil war / Waghelstein, John D; Chisholm, Donald   Journal Article
Waghelstein, John D Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2006.
Summary/Abstract Irrespective our views on the rationality of our opponent's continuing to conduct operations against us, unless utterly extirpated, he retains a vote on when and how conflict will end. This is because war is about power - compelling another actor to do something he would not otherwise do, or to cease doing something he would otherwise prefer to do. In planning for conflict termination we should account for the peculiarities of opponents who may decide not to quit when we have beat them fair and square. We do not desire that they cease conventional fighting, but that they cease fighting altogether.
