The 11 Days War
In February 1918, the Central Powers launched their last offensive in Russia. Their objective was the overthrow of the new Bolshevik regime, and their forces made huge advances from the Baltic Sea to the Don Basin. The offensive was codenamed Operation Punch (Faustschlag in German) and it came close to changing the course of history.

1941 in the Middle East

Early in 1941, the British position in the Middle East seemed on the verge of collapse. On 3 April, Arab nationalists in Iraq overthrew the pro-British regime in Baghdad and called for support from the Axis powers. That same day, the offensive in Libya by Gen. Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps reached Benghazi, and by the end of the month, he had surrounded Tobruk and reached the Egyptian border. In Cairo, other Arab nationalists were awaiting his arrival to depose the pro-British monarchy there. In Palestine, still other Arab nationalists—believing the days of the British Empire were numbered—waited for the right moment to launch an uprising.

After the fall of the Balkans and Crete in May, it seemed the entire Middle East would soon be lost to the Axis. Morale in Britain itself was low. As an often-told joke went at the time: “BEF stands for ‘Back [home in England] Every Fortnight.’”

Strategy & Tactics Quarterly #31
Rosecrans vs Bragg

http://shop.strategyandtacticspress.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=STQ31

Ch. 5, Rosecrans Prepares

After Bragg crossed the Tennessee, Rosecrans pulled most of his army into an arc covering Tullahoma. Cavalry and a few infantry brigades pushed forward to watch Bragg across the river, while work crews began the task of repairing the railroad.

Rosecrans got little respite from calls by Halleck and Lincoln for a quick resumption of the offensive. As usual, he resisted the prods with lengthy explanations of the need to craft a solid new base for his next step.

For once there was no significant reorganization of the army. The main body comprised XIV, XX, XXI, and the Cavalry Corps, their commanders unchanged. Granger’s (Provisional) Reserve Corps was still responsible for protecting the line of supply, and as before would send roughly a third of its strength into battle. One minor change was detaching Wilder’s Lightning Brigade—now boasting a fifth regiment, the 92nd Illinois—from XIV Corps and assigning it to Rosecrans’ direct control. Total strength by mid-August was 67,909 infantry and 9,973 cavalry.

Eagles of Rome: War in the Late Republic & Early Empire

The Roman army of the early empire had its origins in the late 2nd century BC. The army’s basic unit of operational deployment at that time was the legion. Originally, they were raised only from Rome’s propertied class, with each individual’s wealth determining his rank on entry.

The legion’s subordinate maneuver unit was the infantry maniple, each of which was usually composed of two centuries of 60 to 100 men. There were three types of heavy infantry making up the maniples: hastati (deployed in the first line), the principes (in the second line), and the triarii (older veterans in the third line). Additionally, the lower class provided light infantry. There was also usually a contingent of 300 cavalry (again, from the upper classes since they brought their horses with them). The strength of a legion could vary from 4,500 to 6,000...

Finland Leaves the War

Informed by the Germans in December 1940 of their intention to invade the Soviet Union, the Finns began planning on participating with them but only based on “cobelligerency” rather than outright alliance. That distinction is the diplomatic equivalent of the “enemy of my enemy is my friend.” To the Finns, it was important since they intended to do no more than recover the territories lost in the Winter War of 1939–40.

Ukraine War Preamble, 2014–15

In February 2014, the Russians took the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in a quick, nearly bloodless and smoothly professional operation. It was an impressive demonstration of the capabilities of their military, so different from the botched operations of post-Soviet Russia in Chechnya.

Even the “Five Day War” against Georgia in August 2008, though ultimately successful, revealed that a number of problems inherited from the Soviet era were persisting. That less-than-satisfactory performance allowed Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov (in office 2007–12) to implement reforms intended to streamline the efficiency and increase the combat power of Russian forces.

Invasion Australia: Japanese Plans

By late mid-1942, the Japanese had seized Singapore, the Netherlands East Indies and Burma. With that, their high command reevaluated their strategy. While the initial objective had been to conquer the “Southern Resource Area,” with that accomplished a possible new goal emerged—the invasion of Australia. Here is our analysis of the factors that led them to forego that attempt.
