		Jedburgh (Jedart or Jethart in Scots) is a royal burgh in the Scottish Borders, lying on the Jed Water river.
		Jedburgh is also known as the name of an operation in World War II in which men from the Office of Strategic Services parachuted into Nazi occupied France to conduct sabotage and guerilla warfare, and to lead French maquis forces against the Germans.
		Because the Jeds normally operated in uniform, to apply this order to them was a war crime, but the illegality of the order must have been small consolation to those Jedburgh members executed -- about half of the total infiltrated.

	Operation Jedburgh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jedburgh was an operation in World War II in which men from the Office of Strategic Services and the British Special Operations Executive parachuted into Nazi occupied France to conduct sabotage and guerilla warfare, and to lead French Maquis forces against the Germans.
		Because the Jeds normally operated in uniform, to apply this order to them was a war crime, but the illegality of the order must have been small consolation to those Jedburgh members executed.
		By this period in the war, SOE had insufficient resources to mount the huge operation on its own; OSS jumped at the chance to be involved since in a single swoop it got more Special Operations agents into northwestern Europe than it had had in the entire war.

		The roughly 280 Jedburghs were organized into teams of three men, trained and disciplined to take up the special warfare challenge and carry out their missions regardless of obstacles and unforseen circumstances.

	Combined Arms in battle since 1939
		At the operational level of war, the Army developed and adopted a doctrine of Active Defense based largely on the perceived "lessons" of the battle for the Golan Heights, fought in the earliest days of the 1973 war.
		The Syrian operational objective was to retake the Golan, which was part of the territory it lost to the Israelis in 1967.
		Gubbins originated the concept of Jedburgh teams "to raise and arm the civilian population [in occupied territory] to carry out guerrilla activities against the enemy's lines of communication." Jedburghs were uniformed volunteers from France, the United Kingdom, United States, Belgium, and Holland who were rigorously screened and trained.

	The Dutch Resistance During Operation Market Garden
		They operated in an extremely decentralized manner and did not coordinate their activities unless another group's help was absolutely necessary.
		The JEDBURGH mission was responsible "for furthering the military operations with all resources available from resistance units (original emphasis), and for advising F.S.O. as to the reliability of these units."(30) CLAUDE was also responsible for recruiting Dutch citizens for work within the Division airhead.
		Another reason for the tactical failure of the operation, especially at Arnhem, was the inability, because of the combat situation, not because of prejudice, to completely utilize the Dutch Resistance in the Arnhem area.
