The fighting fields of Europe offer a plethora of situations and biomes to analyze. It is from this analysis that we are able to make our theories concerning war. While Clausewitz was able to draw upon this rich information for his own theories, the lack of certain conditions in Europe caused gaps in tactical knowledge. As he himself explains, one is hard pressed to find large theaters of European conflict that is dominated by operations in deep heavy forests and swamps. While these extreme biomes do exist in Europe, they are few and often not the focus of campaigns. We then need to fill in the gaps with our analysis of other conflicts, such as the US involvement in the Pacific Campaign of WWII and the Vietnam War. Join Malark as he strives to do just that in this episode on the defense of forests and swamps.
