This is a special edition of Military Review, focusing on large-scale combat operations. According to the Introduction, "The Army is shifting its focus and updating its doctrine to prevail in large-scale ground combat operations against peer and near-peer threats.

Victory Starts Here: A Short 45-Year History of the US Army Training and Doctrine Command
From the Preface: "What follows is the fourth edition of a short history of the US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). This 45-year version comes at a pivotal moment in TRADOC's history. Since its creation in 1973 in one of the most historically significant organizational reforms in US Army history, TRADOC has been the service's primary provider of concepts, doctrine, training, education, and future forecasts. As this study goes to press, most of the concepts and future forecasts portions of TRADOC, along with similar elements of other Army commands, are being formed into a new command, but TRADOC will continue to provide the vital services of training, education, and doctrine formulation to both the Army and the nation."

Staff Ride Handbook for the Saratoga Campaign, 13 June to 8 November 1777
From the Introduction: "As a vehicle for the education of the military professional, the staff ride has long proven its efficacy. Analysis of a battle or a campaign through an examination of the actual terrain is a concept deeply rooted in military study. [...] Although similar to many, the 'Staff Ride Handbook for the Saratoga Campaign' differs from most staff ride handbooks. First, this is the first handbook that covers a Revolutionary War campaign. In addition, this Saratoga Campaign study is an 'operational-level' staff ride and thus a departure from the more common tactical staff rides conducted on most battlefields. Like Overland and Vicksburg, the Saratoga Campaign consisted of multiple engagements with complex unit movements covering considerable distances and an extended period of time. These factors create unique challenges and opportunities for both staff ride instructors and participants. [...] In summary, the Saratoga Campaign provides a magnificent example of commanders locked in a classic military struggle, giving testimony to the grim ordeal of war and the price paid by the common Soldier. Lessons learned from this complex struggle can provide an unmatched tool for educating the modern military professional."

Vietnam: The Course of a Conflict
From the Document: "This collection traces the evolution of America's involvement in Vietnam. The author of these chapters, James H. Willbanks, has devoted much of his professional life to service in and study of the conflict. As a young US Army Infantry officer, Jim served as an advisor to the South Vietnamese Army during the North Vietnamese Easter Offensive in 1972. He served 23 years in uniform, received a Doctorate in History, and after retiring from active duty, continued his service as the Director of the Department of Military History at the US Army Command and General Staff College. In 2016, he was appointed the George C. Marshall Chair of Military History at the college, the position from which he retired in 2018. Jim published 12 books on Vietnam during his career. He also published multiple article-length works on Vietnam, 11 of which appear in this volume. These chapters cover, albeit loosely, the course of the conflict, from the initial advisory effort and the buildup of conventional forces through the Tet Offensive and the ultimate decision to 'Vietnamize' the war."

Through the Joint, Interagency, and Multinational Lens: Linking the Strategic Environment and Operational Planning: Volume 2
"'Strategy without process is little more than a wish list.' - Robert Filek. These are wise words and it is in this endeavor, to apply a process to strategy, that Volume 2 is written. To take an understanding of the nation's strategy and translate it into plans that maximize the instruments of national power is the role of planners. The faculty in the Department of Joint, Interagency, and Multinational Operations, once again, apply their experiences in the chapters of this compendium to present well-researched perspectives on a variety of challenges faced in developing the detailed process that applies our nation's Diplomatic, Information, Military, and Economic (DIME) resources toward National Security. For this volume, we start with a view toward the diplomatic instrument of power. Something to consider with diplomacy is that the world views us in the context of our diplomatic efforts. Even military involvement around the world is an extension of our diplomatic policies. Dr. Geoff Babb takes the opportunity to expand his work from Volume 1 in which he wrote on China and Asia and the history of American military involvement in the region. For this volume, his time period is from the Korean War to the Crisis in the South China Sea (1950-2016). Our next step from military involvement in China is toward Interagency (IA) cooperation within US National Agencies. Mr. Dwayne Wagner and Mr. Gus Otto analyze the current status of the Goldwater-Nichols Act, which mandated Joint requirements to increase cooperation between the services, in order to determine if a similar amendment to the National Security Act should be recommended to mandate interagency requirements."

Over There with the AEF: The World War I Memoirs of Captain Henry C. Evans
These are the memoirs of Captain Henry Evans, who served with the 1st Divison of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. From the foreword provided by his surviving family: "To read this combined collection is to relive with Henry C. Evans, or just 'Pa,' an important era in his life. Each page reflects his integrity, intelligence, courage and delightful sense of humor. We know Pa would want you to read and enjoy his writing. For those who knew and loved Pa, this project should rekindle fond memories. For his progeny who were not so fortunate to know him, including fifty-five and counting great-grandchildren, we hope that this project might acquaint them with this wonderful and heroic man. On 17 September 1995, one hundred years after Henry's birth, John and Roslyn compiled Pa's diary and pertinent letters as a gift to their family. In 2003 the diary was shared with the Reserve Officers Training Corps at The Johns Hopkins University. The diary was such a hit with the cadets and cadre that the single copy became worn and severely dog-eared. In 2004 the Professor of Military Science, Lieutenant Colonel Charles E. Roller, Field Artillery, received permission from the family to retype the diary and add footnotes to give the diary historical context. In addition, more photos were added and the original letters were typed to make them easier to read. The goal of this new project was to significantly increase the audience for this wonderful diary and to use the diary to teach ROTC [Reserve Officer Training Corps] cadets the values of the US Army, which are so evident in this diary. Those values are: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage."

Proximity Principle: Army Chaplains on the Fighting Line in Doctrine and History
This document is from the "Art of War Papers" series. From the Abstract: "The first official US Army chaplain doctrine appeared in 1926 and contained this guidance: 'The duty of the chaplain lies with the men of his command who are on the fighting line.' This guidance reflected a principle of proximity - that is, chaplains minister wherever their soldiers are found, up to and including during direct ground combat. The primary argument of this thesis is that this proximity principle - both in chaplain history and chaplain doctrine - has been a dominant theme of the Army chaplain's ministry. The 1926 fighting line verbiage and concept codified what chaplains had habitually practiced up to that time. Indeed, a broad analysis of literature written by chaplains prior to 1926 and lessons learned by chaplains during the First World War demonstrates that the 1926 doctrine accurately codified a timeless and enduring principle. In addition, a survey of chaplain doctrine since 1926 shows that the proximity principle has consistently remained a part of official Army chaplain ministry. Furthermore, a historical survey of select chaplains in ground combat since 1926 demonstrates that the proximity principle remains a timeless and highly effective form of Army chaplain ministry, whose most ardent practitioners are held up as exemplars for current and future chaplains."

Commander's Guide to Support Operations Among Weaponized Displaced Persons, Refugees, and Evacuees: Lessons and Best Practices
From the Introduction: "In our recent history, the U.S. military has conducted operations across the full spectrum of conflict. The most common characteristic has been the complex and ambiguous nature of the environment in which these operations have been conducted. Certain trends are global and enduring in such an environment, such as the use of improvised explosive devices and the inclusion of large groups of displaced persons. Some of those displaced persons will be victims of forced migration due to conflict, while others may be victims of voluntary migration as a result of desperate humanitarian hardships. Experience shows that these population groups are especially vulnerable and are usually in desperate need of basic necessities for survival. While advances in technology and industry have offered unparalleled opportunity, these same developments often highlight the enduring nature of displacement and the illusive nature of achieving long-term, durable solutions to this vexing problem. […] For this edition, we focus our essays on a particularly daunting concern related to mass displaced populations - that of the weaponized displaced person, refugee, and evacuee (DPRE). The threat of a biologically or chemically infected person entering a large displaced persons camp - either purposefully or inadvertently - warrants serious and immediate study and is the topic for this edition. As in the previous volume, the articles are organized into common chapters for clarity and purpose. It is our hope that this handbook will contribute to the body of knowledge in this field and will facilitate our collective understanding of how the military can effectively deal with the multitude of challenges associated with large numbers of displaced persons."

Training for Decisive Action: Stories of Mission Command: Collected Insights from Commanders and Leaders on Their Experience at the National Training Center
From the Foreword: "The National Training Center has executed five rotations in the past 18 months. The following compendium offers a collection of stories from leaders that have grown out of those rotations. It focuses on all levels, and is a complimentary volume to the 66 Stories of Battle Command written following the 4ID and 1st Cav rotations of the late 1990s. These stories are a compelling mix of universal challenges and the new complex threat. They will undoubtedly be a wellspring of learning over the next few years. In coordination with our partnered Brigades that executed these rotations, Operations Group and the NTC [National Training Center] presents these anecdotes as we strive to meet our Chairmen's vision of leading 'the Army's transition to unified land operations' and enabling dialogue and learning that will 'identify innovative training methods to reduce overhead without sacrificing training quality, standards or outcomes.'"
