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).

Title A name given to the resource The operations of the 148th Infantry Regiment (37th Infantry Division) at Manila, Luzon, Philippine Islands, 9 January - 3 March 1945 (Luzon campaign) : personal experience of a regimental intelligence officer [manuscript] / Lt. Col. Herald H. Smith Subject The topic of the resource World War, 1939-1945--Campaigns--Philippines. 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.
