Topics
George C. Marshall: 在每次行动中,我强调领导力的至关重要性。我们拥有精良的装备和充足的补给,但最重要的是我们的人民。积极和坚定的领导力是鼓舞士气和取得战斗胜利的关键,它直接决定了成功或失败。 William T. Gordon: 作为连队指挥官,我认为必须在士兵中建立个人威信。我总是敢于冒险,并以身作则。士兵们需要知道何时应该像我一样躲避,但绝不能因为我躲避而逃跑。此外,我坚信要让士兵们憎恨敌人,这样他们才能成为更优秀的战士,并且绝不能与俘虏 fraternize。 Richard E Deland: 我们士兵需要的是冲锋在前的指挥官,而不是后方的营长。领导者应该身先士卒,带领我们前进。 Robert J. Kemp: 士官的领导作用不可忽视。在发起攻击之前,应该组织领导、士官和军官进行地形研究和指导,确保每个人都对地形有充分的了解。 E.B. Thayer: 我发现巡逻队领导必须时刻牢记任务的重要性,及时带回有价值的情报。即使他们感到疲惫,也应该坚持完成任务。 T. F. Bogart: 我认为必须在初级军官和士官中强调不畏艰难、完成任务的决心。在巡逻行动中,任何行动都应直接服务于任务的完成。 George Taylor: 作为一名指挥官,我认为新兵在战场上最大的挑战是克服对恐惧的害怕。重要的是,士兵们要充分掌握所需的知识,将战场思考降到最低,并培养在炮火下坚持的能力。 John R. Patterson: 在夜间攻击中,我们注重隐蔽行动和突然性,利用手榴弹和刺刀,在敌人措手不及的情况下发起攻击。同时,我们也会充分利用缴获的敌方工事和装备。 Hollerich: 在战斗中,我认为灵活的战术和快速的反应至关重要。我们需要根据实际情况调整部署,充分利用地形和火力,压制敌人。 Rogers: 在西西里岛战役中,我们发现摧毁敌人的混凝土碉堡至关重要。我们学会了识别和利用敌人的伪装,并使用白磷等手段有效地清除这些威胁。 Simon B. Buckner: 我观察到,当我们的步兵在炮火支援下猛烈推进时,敌人特别容易受到攻击。同时,我们也应该重视反渗透战术,保护我们的后方区域。
