The effect of training and technology on friction in armoured combat: case study of Battle of 73 Easting
| Resumo: | The aim of this article is to determine if training and technology are directly or inversely correlated with friction during armoured combat, using the Battle of 73 Easting, which took place during the Gulf War (1991), as a case study. A historical review was carried out to describe the battle and the categorization proposed by Ferreira, Ramos and Franchi (2018) regarding the different types of friction was used throughout the study. The study methodology was an analytical single case study which included a qualitative and quantitative analysis. The findings revealed that training and technology directly affected attrition, giving the US forces the advantage in the confrontation, and that technology correlated especially to the “information” category of friction, while training had more consequences for the “individual” category. |
