Subordinate questions include: Why did experienced combat commanders, like General Truscott and Colonel Darby, utilize the lightly armed Ranger Force against a fortified town? Did the training level of the new ranger replacements compromise the infiltration and affect the outcome? Did the Germans detect the infiltration and emplace an ambush for the unsuspecting Ranger Force? What was the intelligence preparation of the battlefield, and how did it affect the plan? Did General Truscott's and Colonel Darby's previous experience lead to assumptions about effectiveness of the Ranger Force in such a mission? 606 $aMilitary intelligence$7Generated by AI 606 $aStrategy$7Generated by AI 615 0$aMilitary intelligence 615 0$aStrategy 676 $a940.541 700 $aStewart$b Jeff R$01434597 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163346803321 996 $aThe Ranger Force At The Battle Of Cisterna$94355049 997 $aUNINA
