Captain Dominic J. Caraccilo was the commander of Headquarters Company, 2nd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division--the Ready Brigade of the National Command Authority and the first combat forces deployed to Saudi Arabia in what would eventually become Operation Desert Storm. His account, drawn from his personal log of the brigade's 227-day deployment and supported by many primary documents, is a grunt-level view of the Persian Gulf War, from the thoughts of the paratroopers as they left their homes to their attack on Iraqi forces.

This monograph focuses on how the 82nd Airborne Division fits into the United States Army's efforts to transform. The Army of 2000-2010 must deploy combat power more quickly into a crisis--before aggression starts or before an aggressor achieves initial objectives. With fewer forces stationed outside the United States, the ability to project combat power is more important to modern American security concerns than at any time in recent history. The slow build-up of combat power from secure ports and airfields prior to Operation Desert Storm and Just Cause are probably not suitable models for the next conflict. The National Command Authority must maintain a rapid response, forcible entry capability to set the conditions for follow-on forces. The Division Ready Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division will likely be that spear, but it must deploy more rapidly and with greater combat power. A Strategic Brigade Airdrop currently requires ninety-six C-17 sorties for just the Division Ready Brigade. This number of sorties can be reduced and the potential combat power of the unit increased simultaneously. Additionally, it is possible to increase the amount of potential combat power airdropped in the Alpha Echelon and reduce the amount of equipment that must airland later. Replacing the bulky and heavy wheeled vehicles with a newer and proven design will keep the forcible entry capability poised to lead the Interim Brigade Combat Team into a crisis. One such group of vehicles is called the Flyer Family of Vehicles, and a C-17 can transport up to twenty-two Flyers compared to eight High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles. Structurally, this monograph examines the current Army Transformation efforts and the role of the Division Ready Brigade. Next is a description of the Strategic Brigade Airdrop mission of the Division Ready Brigade.

The capabilities of the Flyer Family of Vehicles and how they compare to the current set of wheeled vehicles begins a comparison of potential combat power. This monograph concludes that the Flyer Family of Vehicles (or a similar type) can significantly increase the potential combat power in the Division Ready Brigade and reduce the amount of sorties required to deploy.

Xviii Airborne Corps In Desert Storm written by Charles Lane Toomey and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2004 with Persian Gulf War, 1991 categories.
Operation Desert Storm culminated in a 100-hour ground battle and the ejection of the Iraqi army from Kuwait in February 1991. But the beginning of that victory began in August 1990 when America’s premier contingency force, the Army’s XVIII Airborne Corps, was ordered to Saudi Arabia. This is the story of the XVIII Airborne Corps' epic role in the first Gulf War, from the vulnerable early days of the Desert Shield defense of Saudi Arabia through its Desert Storm attack into Iraq and the Coalition’s "end-sweep" to block Iraqi reinforcement and escape from the Kuwait Theater of Operations. Written by a former officer who was intimately involved with XVIII Airborne Corps planning and execution, this is a history filled with heretofore unrevealed detail and lessons for soldiers, historians and generations to come. From Planning to Victory is destined to become a Gulf War classic. -- Amazon

Twenty years ago, the Persian Gulf War captured the attention of the world as the first test of the U.S. Army since the Vietnam War and the first large-scale armor engagement since World War II. Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait and his subsequent ouster by the U.S.-led coalition are keys to understanding today's situation in the Middle East. The coalition partnerships cemented in that initial operation and in the regional peacekeeping operations that followed provided the basis for a growing series of multinational efforts that have characterized the post-Cold War environment. Moreover, the growing interoperability of U.S. air, sea, and land forces coupled with the extensive employment of more sophisticated weapons first showcased in Desert Storm have become the hallmark of American military operations and the standard that other nations strive to meet.
