Seller's Description:
Good. x, 253, [1] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Charts. Diagrams. Photographs. Index. Cover has wear and soling. Some early pages creased/wrinkled. This is one of the Army's Vietnam Studies series. David Ewing Ott was born at the Army's Schofield Barracks in Honolulu. His father was a Brigadier General in the field artillery, and the family lived on Army bases across the country. While an artilleryman by birth, fortunately for his mother it was not a breech-birth! Lieutenant General Ott served in combat in the Field Artillery during three wars. He wrote "Field Artillery, 1954-1973" (1975), was an expert on field artillery tactics in Vietnam. He was the chief of field artillery and commanding general at Fort Sill, and Commanding General of VII Corps in Germany during the 1970s. Along with General Tommy Franks, he raised the profile of field artillery within the Army. General Ott was a former president and board chairman of the U.S. Field Artillery Association. This monograph illuminates some of the more important activities-with attendant problems, shortcomings, and achievements-of the U S. Army Field Artillery in Vietnam. The wide variations in terrain, supported forces, density of cannon, friendly population, and enemy activity which prevailed throughout South Vietnam tend to make every action and every locale singular. In addition to the usual problems of waging armed conflict, the assignment in Southeast Asia required superimposing the immensely sophisticated tasks of a modern army upon an underdeveloped environment and adapting them to demands covering a wide spectrum. These involved helping to fulfill the basic needs of an agrarian population, dealing with the frustrations of antiguerrilla operations, and conducting conventional campaigns against well-trained and determined regular units. The Army nevertheless stands to benefit immensely from a study of its experience, its shortcomings no less than its achievements.
