Handbook details first 100 days in combat

Staff report

A handbook for Army leaders on the first 100 days spent in combat is now available from the Center for Army Lessons Learned.

“Leaders’ Handbook: The First 100 Days” gives leaders and soldiers a look at what they can expect in their first days in a combat zone when they’re getting used to their new environment. The handbook is published by the Center for Army Lessons Learned, or CALL, at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

“There's no doubt that the early period of the deployment, when people are gaining an understanding of the environment, is the most dangerous,” Col. Steven Mains, CALL director, said in a press release.

Information for the handbook came from more than 1,700 soldiers and company-level leaders with battlefield experience.

The handbook is designed to fit in the cargo pocket of the Army combat uniform.

The book is the second in a series of three. The first handbook, “Soldiers’ Handbook: The First 100 Days,” was published in March and focused on soldier-level skills.

The final book will be for staff officers and is expected to be published later this year.

The leaders’ handbook is available at http://call.army.mil/.

An examination of the difficulties faced by the Russian military in planning and carrying out urban operations in Chechnya. Russian and rebel military forces fought to control the Chechen city of Grozny in the winters of 1994-1995 and 1999-2000, as well as clashing in smaller towns and villages. The author examines both Russian and rebelt actics and operations in those battles, focusing on how and why the combatants’ approaches changed over time. The study concludes that while the Russian military was able to significantly improve its ability to carryout a number of key tasks in the five-year interval between the wars, other important missions — particularly in the urban realm — were ignored, largely in the belief that the urban mission could be avoided. This conscious decision not to prepare for a most stressful battlefield met with devastating results, a lesson the United States would be well served to study.
