Battle of Munda Point: Fighting the Plan vs. Fighting the Enemy

Steve Wuensche, US Army veteran and current member of the Army University Press Combat Studies Institute (CSI) Staff Ride Team, joins me to talk about the Battle of Munda Point, during the New Georgia Campaign in the Pacific Theater. We also talk about Staff Rides and the available options for both virtual and in-person Staff Rides, as well as support for units looking to develop their own. This episode works well with the two most recent episodes by Kater Miller on the Marine Raiders in the New Georgia Campaign and Operation Toenails, part of the New Georgia Campaign and planned to support this Battle of Munda Point. There are also connections between all of these episodes and Dr. Jon Bernstein's episode on the Battle of Kula Gulf.
