	::The German Spring Offensive of 1918::

	Chapter 24: The Chinese Spring Offensive Battle for Seoul
		Although the I Corps withdrawal, and thus the chain reaction eastward, was prompted by the heavy enemy pressure in the corps' western sector, there was evidence by 26 April that the main effort of the enemy offensive was beginning to falter.
		From the outset of the enemy offensive General Van Fleet had believed that a strong effort should be made to retain possession of Seoul, not only to gain the tactical advantage in maintaining a foothold above the Han River but also to prevent psychological damage to the Korean people.
		Logistical planning completed in anticipation of the enemy offensive had kept line units well furnished with all classes of supplies during the attacks and at the same time had prevented any loss of stocks stored in major supply points during the withdrawal.

	Chapter VIII: The Enemy Spring Offensive of 1972
		The military objectives of the offensive were not known, but intelligence sources reported that its goal would be the destruction of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam.
		Unfortunately, the decision to dispense with the vehicle-launched bridge section was not reconsidered, and lack of bridging during the enemy offensive proved a major factor in the loss of tanks.
		The artillery offensive was followed by infantry and armor attacks in the east across the Ben Hai River following the axis of QL (Route) 1 in the west toward the district capital of Cam Lo and Camp Carroll.

		US is planning a new offensive in the 2-year-old Afghanistan campaign to stop remnants of the Taliban regime and the al-Qaeda terror network, officials said Wednesday, even as a second suicide assault on foreign troops in Kabul in as many days killed one British soldier and injured four.

		At the Pentagon, orders have been issued to prepare equipment and supplies for the coming offensive, although the operation will not necessarily require additional troops in the region, a defense official said on condition of anonymity.

		WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is planning a new offensive to foil the expected movement of Taliban figures and al-Qaeda terrorists in still-troubled regions of Afghanistan, officials said Wednesday.
		Defense officials have issued an order alerting troops to the planned "spring offensive" so forces can start working on logistics and getting equipment in place, one official said on condition of anonymity.
		The Chicago Tribune, which first reported the offensive in Wednesday editions, said officials are particularly determined to hit al-Qaeda hard in coming months partly because of concerns over two recent assassination attempts against Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, whose role as a major U.S. ally in the war on terror has angered Islamic extremists.

		But a top U.S. commander in Afghanistan says he expects the Taliban's so-called spring offensive to be much weaker than in the past three years.

	Power Line: U.S. Gears Up for Spring Offensive
		The Chicago Tribune reported yesterday that American military officials are planning a spring offensive along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, with a view toward cleaning out the al Qaeda remnants hiding there and capturing or killing bin Laden.
		On the other hand, President Musharraf himself said today that there is "no possibility" of a large contingent of American troops entering Pakistan to search for bin Laden, which he termed "a very sensitive subject." I assume that it all depends on what you consider to be a large contingent.
		Bryan Hilferty, apparently referring to the spring offensive, expressed confidence that bin Laden will soon be caught: "We have a variety of intelligence and we’re sure we’re going to catch Osama bin Laden and (fugitive Taliban leader) Mullah Omar this year," Hilferty said.
