From Chapter 1: The Combined Arms Command: War and the Adjustment to Victory (page 1): The year 1991 proved a watershed for the Army and its "heart.," the Combined Arms Command at Fort Leavenworth. In a hundred hours in February, the post-Vietnam Army passed the test of battle, manifesting an efficiency and destructive power that exceeded the highest expectations of its most uncritical apologists. By year's end, a sequence of stunning events had swept the Kremlin dictatorship, the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact into the dust bin of history. Victory in the Gulf and Cold Wars (following hard upon military success in Panama) simultaneously certified the post-Vietnam "great revival" of the Army and, through blunting or fundamentally transforming old threats, launched a new stage in that institution's development.
