Additional Description

Processing Information

Advanced Reserach Project paper examining disciplinary actions against senior military officers through the cases of ADM Kimmel and MAJ Gen Short, commanding officers at pearl Harbor in 1941, and CAPT McVay Commanding Officer of the USS Indianpolis. This paper demonstrates that each action taken with respect to the three commanders was fully consistent with law and should be upheld to support and preserve the greater principle of civilian control of the military.
