On Point is a study of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF) as soon after the fact as
feasible. The Army leadership chartered this effort in a message to the major
commands on 30 April 2003. In his guidance, Army Chief of Staff General Eric K.
Shinseki directed "a quick, thorough review that looks at the US Army's
performance, assesses the role it played in the joint and coalition team, and
captures the strategic, operational, and tactical lessons that should be
disseminated and applied in future fights." The authors worked rapidly and
diligently to capture the essential lessons of the campaign; as a result, the
study is available today to help leaders at every level.

On Point II is the US Army's first historical study of its campaign in Iraq in
the decisive eighteen months following the overthrow of the Baathist regime in
April 2003. The book examines both the high-level decisions that shaped military
operations after May 2003 as well as the effects of those decisions on units and
Soldiers who became responsible for conducting those operations. The authors,
historians at the US Army's Combat Studies Institute at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
based this account on hundreds of interviews with key participants and thousands
of primary documents. Critical chapters in this book address the decision to
disband the Iraqi Army, detainee operations (including the incidents at the Abu
Ghraib prison), reconstruction efforts, and the Army's response to the growing
insurgency. At the core of On Point II is the dramatic story of how after May
2003, the US Army reinvented itself by transforming into an organization capable
of conducting a broad array of diverse and complex "Full Spectrum" operations.
This was the new campaign that confronted American Soldiers beginning in May
2003 as they strived to create stability in Iraq.
