Thirty years ago, Rahela lost two sisters to the mujahideen in Faryab Province, as they hunted out sympathizers of the communists. Her family was accused of working with the government and were targeted among teachers and activists in town. Farahngis Sawgand tells the story.
Listen to the story
If you mean divisions with areromd forces included, as well as artillery, mechanized and motorized infantry, enough to break the ARVN. The PLAVN TOE can be found at any good public library, but not in my cave library.A division contains elements of all arms, tailored for the task. Whether or not it has the word Armored as part of it’s name is irrelevent, if it uses tanks in direct attack, supported by infantry in areromd personnel carriers and artillery or CAS en mass, in platoon, company or battalion strength, as required to achieve breakthrough’s in the enemy’s defense and rapidly exploit them, siezing control of the ooda loop away from the opposition. That’s close enough. Certainly far enough from shooting uncooperative village elders in the night, ambush tactics, and avoiding decisive engagement with conventional forces conducting search or pursuit operations to qualify as blitzkrieg rather than guerrilla tactics.You are consistently guilty of the mirror error, assuming the enemy has to be using the US Army’s TOE to use conventional warfare tactics when deemed useful. You know, like when the ARVN’s ammo resupply is cut off . Or the opponent’s principal ally’s legislature gives you a gilt edge invitation by screwing him in vital logistic support.Nice high school debate riposte, though.
