In his monograph, originally written in 2000 for the School of
Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) entitled, "Transforming the Force:
The 11th Air Assault Division (Test) from 1963-1965," then-Major
Thomas Graves-currently serving as a Brigadier General-traced the
history behind the development of air assault doctrine, tactics,
and procedures that would later be used with great effect during
the Vietnam War. The Howze Board and the development of the 11th
Air Assault Division (Test) served as a great paradigm for how the
U.S. Army could examine new concepts involving emerging
technologies and put them in practice throughout the Army. It was
the 11th Air Assault Division (Test) that would later become the
1st Cavalry Division and utilize the new tactics immediately in
combat, most notably in their first major battle in the Ia Drang
Valley in 1965.
