Tactical Change in the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations - Dr. Gregory Hospodor

This talk briefly examined what the US Army learned and then changed as a result of its experiences during the campaigns in North Africa and Sicily. It focused upon “the sharp end,” the tactical level of war where the fighting occurred.

Army units learned quickly under fire, improving their battlefield performance rapidly between Battles of Kasserine Pass (February 1943) and Troina (August 1943).
