Studying the Luzon Campaign has been largely forgotten from World War II, particularly as a case study to highlight lessons learned as well as tactics, techniques, and procedures the US Army used in the Joint Fires enterprise during what became the second largest land campaign in World War II. By studying the shaping campaign prior to the Lingayen Gulf landings on Luzon, one can gain several lessons regarding command and control of joint forces and the complexity of a shaping campaign that set the conditions for the successful Sixth Army landings on Luzon. The second part of this paper focuses on the “Flying Column”. By studying this joint combined arms maneuver, the importance of airpower and the means of communication and control with it can be understood.
