The collections contained within the Combined Arms Research Library Digital Library are largely composed of digital versions of paper documents from the Combined Arms Research Library collections and student papers produced at the US Army Command and General Staff College. The documents in this collection cover the areas on the Vietnam Conflict, Korean War, and the U.S. Civil War, to name a few. This is one of those documents.

The principal German infantry weapons are here described in order to enable U. S. troops to identify and, when the opportunity exists, to operate them. No attempt has been made to provide all the details necessary for the maintenance and repair of the weapons described. Reports from observers, enemy documents, British publications, and other sources of information have been examined and compared in order to present in a compact and simple form all the pertinent information on the main German infantry weapons. Wherever possible, the exposition is based on an actual examination and operation of the weapon concerned.

During WW II the Command and General Staff Colleges primary mission was to train large numbers of captains and majors to be staff officers in battalions, brigades, divisions, and corps. To that end, the Army provided copies of documents produced by field units to the College. Operations orders, after action reports, intelligence analyses, logistics appraisals, and similar documents are in the Combined Arms Research Library documents collection. The primary focus was documenting operations at the tactical and operational levels of warfare. This is one of those documents.

Originally published in 1943 by the Military Intelligence Service, United States War Department. The purpose of this study is to give U.S. troops a comprehensive picture of German antiaircraft artillery and its use, and at the same time to furnish U.S. antiaircraft artillerymen data by which they can compare German methods with their own. Topics include organization, weapons and equipment, use of antiaircraft artillery with field forces, and use of antiaircraft artillery in defense of Germany and rear areas.

In suitable terrain, the tank is an ideal weapon for the favorite envelopment tactics of the Japanese, although the Japanese had only made limited use of tanks (up until WWII). The Japanese organization (armored divisions and non-division units), tactics (general doctrine, tanks in infantry support, principles of infantry support, special tactical situations), and equipment (tankettes, light/medium/heavy tanks, armored cars, armament) are detailed in this document.

This book, originally published in 1942 by the U.S. Army's Military Intelligence Service, contains information based on German and British reports explaining German survival and adaptation to the desert. Desert operations have much in common with operations in the other parts of the world. The unique aspects of desert operations stem primarily from heat and lack of moisture. While these two factors have significant consequences, most of the doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures used in operations in other parts of the world apply to desert operations. The challenge of desert operations is to adapt to a new environment.

Originally prepared by the Military Intelligence Service of the War Department in 1942, this publication came about as the result of reports from American officers who attended the German General Staff School from 1935 through 1939. It describes the doctrinal similarities and differences which enabled the German Armies to achieve success in the early years of World War II, and gives the reader a view of German training and planning.

This handbook was published to give U.S. military personnel a better understanding of the principal characteristics, and is dated 2 August 1943, about five weeks before the Italian surrender. It begins with a description of distinctive branches, or specialities, the most characteristic of which was the arm of the Royal Carabinieri, a semi-military body occupying, historically, the senior position in the Army. Other specialities included the Grenadiers of Sardinia, the Bersaglieri, the Alpini and the San Marco Marine Regiment, the equivalent to the US Marine Corps. The handbook then goes on to show, in order, the organisation of Command and Staff, of formations (corps and divisions) and of the arms and services; services, supply and transportation; ranks, uniforms, insignia, medals and decorations; armament and equipment and a chapter on the Air Force, There are chapters on tactical doctrine and principles of employment, on permanent fortifications, camouflage and abbreviations.
