World War II: Military Review 1938 - 1948
World War II: Military Review 1938 - 1948
10,850 pages, 89 issues, of the journal Military Review dating from March 1938 to December 1948, published by The Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
The United States Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas is a graduate school for United States military officers. It was founded in 1881 by General William Tecumseh Sherman as the School of Application for Infantry and Cavalry. The school published its first issue of "Military Review" in 1922. In 1938, "Military Review" was known as the "Command and General Staff School Quarterly Review of Military Literature." In April 1943, it began to be published monthly, under the more informal heading "Military Review." The stated goal of this professional military journal was to study the concepts, doctrine and principles of warfare in an open atmosphere.
The issues before, during, and after World War II provide a unique look at American military thought and trends. During the war, Military Review became an up-to-date professional military journal filled with information, thought, and doctrine including translations and digests of important foreign military literature. It even included translations of German military journal articles produced during the war.
Before the war, the Military Review gave much attention to military theory and military tactics and the employment of military equipment in combat during previous European wars. World War II created a change of view for the journal. No longer did it seem concerned about 19th century horse mounted cavalry charges. It was now part of the war effort at hand. Military Review articles after the United States had direct involvement in World War II focused more on tactical employment of military forces based on current operations in Europe, the Pacific, and Africa. The majority of its content was contributed by American officers with recent combat experience. They produced articles with titles such as "Capture of an Enemy Supporting Point" (April 1943), "Reinforcing Artillery Employed in Mass" (June 1943), "Gasoline Supply in the Combat Zone" (October 1943), and "Armored Division in Offensive Action" (March 1941).
The need and supply of war information saw Military Review advance from a quarterly to a monthly publication in April 1943. As the war progressed Military Review sought more content from foreign military journals. This allowed it to draw from the experiences of America's allies and enemy's alike.
After two years of American participation in warfare, the mission of the journal was intensely focused on the relaying of knowledge regarding current strategic, tactical and logistical operations. This is demonstrated by the articles appearing in the January 1944 issue. The articles appearing in that issue had the titles:
