The Combat Studies Institute is pleased to announce its latest Special Study, Fire for Effect Field Artillery and Close Air Support in the US Army, by historian John J. McGrath. The genesis of this work was the controversial decision in 2001 to deploy Army combat units to Afghanistan without their supporting field artillery units. Fire for Effect provides a historical survey of the relationship between field artillery and close air support (CAS) in the US Army since World War I.
Fire for Effect Field Artillery and Close Air Support in the US Army eBook John J McGrath
Much of this information was new to me. For example, I did not know the extent that air power was recognized and used in World War One as close air support for the troupes on the ground. There is excellent discussion on how air and arti communicated with the supporting troupes or actually didn't communicate and why, lol. As one might guess, as technology and experience accumulated techniques to co-ordinate arti and air support improved. These techniques are clearly and logically developed.The book closely and logically develops the relationship of air and arti from WW1 through Iraqi Freedom.
I really have nothing negative to say about this book.
Probably those who are looking for general histories would not like this book . . . but those who have a broad military history background would love this book.
Highly recommended.
