About This Item
(Subject: History & Development of Warfare - General) The US Army entered WWII lacking Germanys blitzkrieg approach of coordinated armour and air power. It was organized to fight two wars - one on the ground and one in the air. Johnson believes that the armys unprepared state was caused by its culture and bureaucracy, and their impact on the development of weapons and doctrine. The tank became captive to the conservative infantry and cavalry branches, whilst the airplanes development was channeled by air power insurgents bent on creating an independent air force. The tanks potential was thus hindered, while air power advocates focused mainly on strategic bombing, neglecting the mission of tactical support for ground troops.
