Neuware - This study examines current river crossing doctrine to determine its compatibility with current force structure and the AirLand Battle concept of the modern battlefield. Using the historical example of the 80th Infantry Division's assault crossing of the Moselle River in September, 1944, the study identifies six factors which promoted successful river crossings in World War II. The validity of each factor is further supported with additional historical references.
