    wounded servicemen. They also stress the need for light surgical and
    medical facilities stationed far forward to care for the less seriously
    wounded rather than medical evacuation in order to ensure that as many
    men as possible are returned to duty.  The authors use historical
    examples from previous wars to illustrate their points.

Cdr Thomas C. Stewart, USNR.    "No Gentleman Fliers: a Reservist Looks at
the Gulf War and Beyond." U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings, Dec91, pp. 91-
92.

    The commanding officer of Attack Squadron 0686 (vA-0686) reviews
    the training his reserve unit undertook to maintain readiness and how
    this training paid off in the successful performance of his unit during
    Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. He also used his squadron as an
    example of the capability of the Naval Air Reserve and reserve units at
    large to perform well in combat situations.

VAdm James B. Stockdale, USN, (Ret).  "POWs: Silence Is Not Golden." U.S.
Naval Institute Proceedings, Mar91, pp. 29-30.

    VAdm Stockdale analyzes the probable present situations of U.S.
    prisoners of war in Iraq, relating them to his own experiences as an
    American prisoner during the Vietnam War. He emphasizes the need for
    prisoners of war to remain  stubborn in their resistance against the
    enemy, to avoid diminishing their sense of honor by refusing to comply
    with the enemy as much as possible, and to find ways to actively resist
    their captors.

Maj David W. Szelowski, USMCR.     "Iraq's Defense of Kuwait and the Battle
of Kursk." Marine Corps Gazette, Jan91, pp. 37-39.

    The author compares Iraqi defensive preparations in Kuwait during
    Desert Shield to the Soviet defensive preparations prior to the Battle of
    Kursk in 1943. Based on this comparison Maj Szelowski offers four
    courses of action U.S. forces could take to counteract these defense
    measures.

RAdm J. D. Taylor, USN.      "Flights of the Intruders." U.S. Naval Institute
Proceedings, Mar91, pp. 32.

    Writing during the Persian Gulf War, Admiral Taylor contrasts the
    movie Flight of the Intruder, set during Vietnam, with the realities of the
    air war in Desert Storm. He commends the movie for the accuracy of
    its portrayal of pilots in combat.
