Article Abstract:

The new Pentagon directive of restoring and maintaining order in the occupied territory, which has long lost its priority than the combat operations, maintains that the combat operations should be given secondary importance and maintenance of law and order. The Pentagon considers the directives to be needed as the need testifies only too clearly to the extent to which half a century of limited was has clouded military and political memories on the war to fight and win a war requiring the invasion of hostile nation.
