As new threats in the sea, air, land, space, and cyber domains appear, it is vital for the Army to produce capable and well-equipped formations that are prepared to adapt and meet any challenges. This work examines the relationship between peace-time innovation and combat adaptation. It uses the history of the 10th Mountain Division as a historical example of how the Army faced threats in multiple areas of the world. In response, it innovated to create a new capability to fight in the mountains. Using new techniques, it recruited highly experienced volunteers, then developed training and equipment to build a new capability for the US Army. As a result of this innovation, the 10th Mountain Division exemplified a highly adaptive and successful formation in combat. The War Department's ability to leverage innovation to create an adaptive organization is relevant to the contemporary Army and how it looks at the current challenges of multi-domain battle and Army War Fighting Challenges"--$cProvided by publisher. 517 $aForging the 10th Mountain Division for war, 1940-45 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xRegimental histories$zUnited States 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zItaly 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xMountain warfare 606 $aMountain warfare$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWinter warfare$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArmed Forces$xSki troops$2fast 606 $aMilitary campaigns$2fast 606 $aMountain warfare$2fast 606 $aRegimental histories$2fast 606 $aWinter warfare$2fast 607 $aItaly$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xRegimental histories 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xMountain warfare. 615 0$aMountain warfare$xHistory 615 0$aWinter warfare$xHistory 615 7$aArmed Forces$xSki troops. 615 7$aMilitary campaigns. 615 7$aMountain warfare. 615 7$aRegimental histories. 615 7$aWinter warfare. 676 $a940.541273 700 $aChabalko$b Justin J.$f1983-$01370023 712 02$aU.S. Army Command and General Staff College, 712 02$aArmy University Press (U.S.), 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910708679403321 996 $aForging the 10th Mountain Division for war, 1940-45$93397289 997 $aUNINA
