With In Contact Case Studies from the Long War, Volume I, the
historians of the Combat Studies Institute (CSI) have produced a
historical anthology to support Army schools, to promote general
professional development in the field, and to inform the American
people about the missions performed by their Army in this "long
war." These case studies include both lethal and nonlethal missions
performed by Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The events
chronicled herein span the spectrum of participants from officers
to noncommissioned officers and from combat units to support
personnel, all in contact with a vicious and unforgiving enemy.
CSI's authors made use of a variety of unclassified material and
were able to contact and interview many of the key participants in
each of these events. Each case study provides valuable insights
for Soldiers and military professionals. In Contact is a companion
to CSI's campaign histories of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM-On Point
(2004), On Point II, and a history of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM
due out in mid-2008. In Contact builds on the methods used in the
widely distributed and renowned Infantry in Battle and Seven
Firefights in Vietnam. As the Introduction explains, the format
allows the case studies to be read as traditional
narratives-following each case study from its initial situation, to
its dilemma, through to its resolution. They can also be used in
the Army school system as a teaching tool by having students read
through the dilemma, then fostering student discussion and analysis
of options before moving on to the actual historical conclusion.
