S.L.A. "Slam" Marshall was a veteran of World War I and a combat
historian during World War II. He startled the military and
civilian world in 1947 by announcing that, in an average infantry
company, no more than one in four soldiers actually fired their
weapons while in contact with the enemy. His contention was based
on interviews he conducted immediately after combat in both the
European and Pacific theaters of World War II.
To remedy the gunfire imbalance he proposed changes to infantry
training designed to ensure that American soldiers in future wars
brought more fire upon the enemy. His studies during the Korean War
showed that the ratio of fire and more than doubled since World War
II.
