Why We Fight ~ 1944 - En podkast av Sasha Maggio (MoT)

Kategorier:

In this episode, Dr. David Dworak, Provost of the US Army War College, shares how the Army learned to sustain a theater during the time between Operation Torch and Operation Husky. This type of sustainment requires a delicate balance between support forces and combat forces, and the addition of enemy prisoners of war, as well as the integration of the Free French forces with the Allies, posed unique challenges for Allied support forces, as Dr. Dworak explains. There are also some interesting anecdotes in the episode, but I don't want to spoil it :) Dr. Dworak will be back during the Sicily Campaign part of the series to talk about the Administration of the Mediterranean Theater.
