 A Possible Fallback Counteroffensive Option in a European War   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The feasibility of this fallback counteroffensive option with the forces currently available can be determined reliably only through extensive war gaming and campaign analysis at a level of detail and classification beyond the scope of this article.
Of all the issues related to the feasibility of the counteroffensive operation, this one appears to be the least problematic.
For the counteroffensive to work, the French would have to forgo their doctrine, employ their forces in a defensive role for which they are ill-prepared, and permit their territory to be used as the principal battleground of choice.

During this period a country-wide effort was begun to restore government control of territory lost to the enemy since the Tet offensive.

Army and Marine advisors fought side-by-side with their RVNAF counterparts to stop and defeat the enemy invasion, as the Vietnamese counteroffensive gained momentum and the reduction of field advisers continued.

 Counteroffensive in the Ardennes
The German counteroffensive through the Ardennes in the winter of 1944, the Battle of the Bulge, will long be recalled in American military annals as having inflicted on the U.S. 12th Army Group the first and only serious reverse it suffered in its sweep from Normandy to the Rhine.
The plan for the big counteroffensive took shape during a period of internal insecurity and catastrophic Axis defeats on the fronts in the East and West.
In the East the Soviet summer offensive had driven in one sweep from the Dnieper to the gates of Warsaw and the banks of the Vistula, had isolated-temporarily-an army group in the Baltic States, and had brought the Russians within reach of the German homeland.

 Evolution Shares a Desk With 'Intelligent Design' (washingtonpost.com)
The state, Justice William J. Brennan wrote, cannot "restructure the science curriculum to conform with a particular religious viewpoint." (Justice Antonin Scalia dissented, arguing that creationism could be "valuable scientific data that has been censored from the classrooms by an embarrassed scientific establishment.")
Of late, conservative school boards have launched a counteroffensive, often marching under the banner of intelligent design.
This theory has lingered on the margins of mainstream scientific discourse with just enough intellectual heft to force its way into some discussions of evolutionary theory.

 UN Counteroffensive
U.N. commanders were aware, however, that the enemy was gathering upwards of 19 Chinese armies, together with 18 North Korean divisions and six brigades, for a spring counteroffensive.
Although U.N. forces had stopped the communist counteroffensives of November and had succeeded in regaining some of the lost ground by the following spring, the end of the war was not yet in sight.
With continued Chinese intervention, and the intense combat of the spring, the Korean War began to show all the signs of becoming a protracted war of attrition.

In December 1944 Adolph Hitler directed an ambitious counteroffensive with the object of regaining the initiative in the west and compelling the Allies to settle for a negotiated peace.
