The objective is to evaluate the adequacy of current U.S. Army doctrine for the attack of a built-up area by a ROAD division, and second, in those cases where the present doctrine is found either inadequate or lacking, to develop appropriate doctrine. The evaluation is based on the historical experiences of combat in cities during World War II. The majority of the account is devoted to the seizure of Brest, France. The study found five areas that were inadequately covered or not covered at all I present doctrine: (1) A surprise thrust to the center of a city's defenses; (2) encirclement; (3) infiltration; (4) intelligence; (5) the commander must allocate sufficient forces and must employ sufficient firepower and forces at the selected point to rupture the enemy positions in multiple penetrations. It was definitely determined that the ROAD division augmented with special assault equipment, engineers, and artillery can perform effectively in a combat in cities environment.
