About

The employment of airborne forces in World War II introduced revolutionary doctrinal changes regarding mobility, maneuver, and surprise in the conduct of war. Since World War I, the possession of nuclear weapons in quantity, potential improvements in target acquisition, missiles of vastly increased range, and greatly improved vehicles for tactical and strategic mobility require the development of even more radical concepts for the employment of these forces in conjunction with other major elements of the Army. To develop decisive future combat superiority, we must integrate lessons learned in the past with our best estimates of the battlefield of tomorrow, imaginative tactics which rapidly exploit new developments, and sound judgment in designing new organizational structures.
