Abstract:

This paper discusses Operation MARKET-GARDEN, which occurred during World War II. This operation combined a massive airborne insertion with a coordinated ground attack to secure the territory. The operation is described as planned and as performed. The best tools for analysis of a historical battle to the next, but the principles of war will always be the same. This paper discusses how the principles of war by itself may not be the reason for a failure or loss however, when one combatant disregards more principles than the other combatant, he is likely to be defeated. The author provides several discussion questions which may be used for a seminar discussion period.
