Title A name given to the resource Military Monographs Description An account of the resource Background note on the Military Monographs of the Infantry School, the Armored School, and the Command and General Staff School: After the war, many field grade officers (captains and majors, lieutenant colonels) who participated in military campaigns in the Philippines attended the Advanced Officers Courses at the Infantry School in Fort Benning, Georgia, the Armored School in Fort Knox, Kentucky, or the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth. This was a requirement for promotion to higher ranks, and in order to finish the course, a term paper was required, wherein tactical principles and lessons learned would be emphasized over personal experiences. The resulting papers are called Military monographs and focus on specific battles and campaigns from a special point of view, usually reflecting the author’s own experience during the war. Thus, for the Infantry School, there are papers on battles in Bataan, Leyte, Luzon and Manila; for the Armored School there are monographs on the use of armor in Luzon and others. Since these were field officers, they wrote about their observations as division or regimental staff officers, in the Infantry, Field Artillery, Cavalry and other branches of service. The principles and lessons learned were the most important aspect of the monographs (some penned in comments question the rationality of some conclusions), and these monographs were written for this purpose. They serve as historical source materials, but some have to be double-checked with other sources since occasionally an author took liberties to fit his experience into the so-called “school solution.” (cf. the discussion in Corregidor.org regarding some of the monographs on Corregidor).

Description An account of the resource Military monograph on the advance and attack on Manila by the 148th Infantry, one of three regiments of the 37th Infantry Division. Covers the initial landing in Luzon, the fighting in the Central Luzon plain (especially in the Clark Field area), the advance to Manila and operations during the Battle of Manila. The author was regimental intelligence officer and his monograph gives attention to the concerns of an intelligence officer – Japanese strengths, planning, security concerns (among them dealing with the Huks), and counter intelligence. Does not speak highly of the Filipinos he met: Upon entry to Manila, he notes that “The civilian Filipino is a great looter.” Smith blamed these Filipinos for the burning of Manila (when actually the fires were started by the Japanese or when under Japanese orders). Gives the US combat infantryman’s side of the battle – under Japanese sniper and mortar fire which they could not spot; how they wished for aerial support that they did not get. Eventually artillery fire was permitted without restrictions, but the Japanese still clung to their positions. Examines Japanese tactics in the defense, and US dilemmas in dealing with them.

Title A name given to the resource Japanese Monographs Description An account of the resource The series of Japanese Monographs were written and compiled by former Japanese army and navy officers immediately after World War II, under specific instructions from General Douglas MacArthur, who was then Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers in occupied Japan. MacArthur ordered the writing of these studies to provide the Japanese perspective of the war, given that so many important reports and documents were lost during the war, either as a result of combat operations and bombings, or else deliberate destruction at the end of the war. Over 180 monographs were written, covering almost all aspects of the Pacific War, from the highest levels to specific regions and battles. Twenty monographs are wholly on the Philippines (army, navy, army air, navy air). Several other monographs included sections on the Philippines (such as histories of the Southern Army, Military Administration of occupied areas, railroads, and others). Some of these monographs turned to be important sources of information for later studies, while others were hardly more than outlines of plans and organizations of units. Some covering up or omissions took place, requiring MacArthur’s headquarters to reiterate more strongly what was required in the monographs. With the abolition of the Japanese Army and Navy, the so-called First and Second Demobilization Bureaus took over administrative responsibility, for the army and the navy, respectively. The monographs were in many cases supplemented by surviving documents or reconstructed orders as remembered by surviving officers. Due to lack of documents or the infirmity of human memory, some gaps and inaccuracies resulted. Some of the monographs were edited and published; many others were edited quickly but not finalized, and remained in manuscript form with annotations and corrections penned in. Some of the translations themselves were not consistent, especially in the use of military terminology. Other translations were incomplete. These monographs are important in that they are one of the few sources of Japanese planning and operations in English, but they have to be used with caution. Note that the numbers and titles tended to vary: some early histories of the Philippines in World War I cite these as Japanese Studies on World War II with different numbering (e.g., Smith, "Triumph in the Philippines"); some of the manuscripts show the different numbers. Numbers and titles were standardized in the early 1960s. All the monographs are written in a detached, impersonal manner, emphasizing plans and units. This makes them difficult for non-specialists to comprehend and use. Still, these monographs are a main source of information from the Japanese side. *Citations in quotation marks from: U.S. Army.

Title A name given to the resource Japanese defense of cities as exemplified by the battle for Manila : a report by XIV Corps [manuscript] Subject The topic of the resource World War, 1939-1945--Campaigns--Philippines--Manila. World War, 1939-1945--Japan. Description An account of the resource Report prepared by the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2 (intelligence) and the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-3 (operations) of XIV Corps headquarters detailing Japanese personnel and organization, tactics, weapons, fortifications and operations in the defense of Manila in February 1945. A study on American assault tactics used in overcoming the Japanese defenses is also provided. Detailed maps and photographs follow the narrative report, which was meant to derive lessons in city fighting against the Japanese. This was an important report at that time since it would provide indications of what might be faced in a landing on Japan. Based on recovered Japanese documents (many of which are quoted) as well as actual battlefield experience and evidence, the focus of this report is on combat and military operations. Japanese atrocities on the civilians are mentioned briefly.
