Here s What You Need to Know: The U.S. VIII Corps exploited Operation Cobra and cracked a doorway into Brittany. Lieutenant General Omar Bradley had reason to be pleased by the last week of July 1944. His First Army had scratched out a substantial foothold on the Normandy coast, capturing three times more French territory than his British allies. He had cut off the Cherbourg peninsula to the west and pushed his army south. His carpet bombing of the German Army south of St. Lo, Operation Cobra, helped crack the enemy line. But his four corps, composed mostly of infantry, were still only inching forward. It had taken him almost two months to advance approximately 80 square miles. He needed to win the war faster than this. ....

Taking control of the entire North African coastline would cement the Allied position and make follow-on operations in the Mediterranean Theater possible. ....
Strike Corps reorientation comes for Ladakh but Army needs larger restructuring Strike Corps reorientation comes for Ladakh but Army needs larger restructuring At last the Army has recognised that it is China, and not Pakistan, that is the principal threat to India’s national security. Text Size: A+ A crisis is an opportunity riding a dangerous wind’ goes a Chinese proverb. The Chinese-perpetrated crisis in Eastern Ladakh seems to have inspired the Indian Army to seize the opportunity to initiate structural and organisational reforms. Without much ado, it has given directions for 1 Corps one of the three mechanised forces, predominant Strike Corps focussed on Pakistan to be restructured and reoriented as the second Mountain Strike Corps for Ladakh. 17 Mountain Strike Corps will now become the strategic reserve dedicated only to the Northeast, and it will be restructured into three-four Integrated Battle Groups, or IBGs. ....
The 1999 India and Pakistan Nuclear War That Almost Was A nuclear war between those countries would have impacted the entire globe. Key point: Thankfully a full-scale nuclear war did not erupt. But Pakistan s decision to pick a fight was incredibly dumb. For years, there was a conceit that no two states with nuclear weapons have ever directly fought each other. That conceit has at times been thin. For example, during the Korean War, Soviet air force regiments battled U.S. jet fighters in support of North Korea. But Washington as much as Moscow refrained from pointing out that thinly-veiled fact, lest it escalate tensions. ....
