- W250637685 abstract "Abstract : As Chief of Staff of the Army 1981, General Meyer believed that there was an important role for light infantry on the modern battlefield. British combat operations the Falkland Islands and the American experience during Operation Urgent Fury Grenada highlighted the strategic utility and need of rapidly deployable light infantry. General Wickham (replacing General Meyer) believed that the solution to the Army's manning and strategic shortfalls was the immediate fielding of a 10,000-soldier light infantry division (LID). Secretary of the Army, John O. Marsh Jr., agreed. He believed the Army's inability to deploy rapidly hurt its appeals for force structure and modernization. General Wickham approved an initial LID design on October 20, 1983. To meet his requirements, the planners specifically developed an organization designed for contingency missions not involving heavy combat. They viewed the division as a first in organization requiring augmentation for sustained operations. They provided only enough support systems for the division to operate a low threat environment for 48 hours without external support. At less than 11,000 soldiers, the final design was a sparse, foot-mobile organization. One receives a better understanding of the evolving role of the light infantry soldier through battlefield examples. Specifically, the conflicts Korea, Vietnam, Panama, and the 1991 Persian Guff War are used to demonstrate the light force operating autonomously. Conversely, at the Army's National Training Center many heavy commanders are realizing that light forces support of their operations are a valuable asset. The lesson learned is that the heavy-mix concept has become an important part of today's warfighting. Additionally, moving from the mid to high intensity battlefield to Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW), the light force has become a valued asset capable of performing a myriad of task." @default.
