Battle Tactics

I've been reading a book called Executive orders (Tom Clancey), pretty good book but anyways in one chapter, the book briefly talks about battle tactics like American and Russian tactics. It sparked my curiosity as I don't really know much about tactics of all the countries of the world (Russia, China, U.S.A). Can anyone describe the tactics used by certain countries (in modern terms) like how do they use tanks, infantry, and or aircraft in battle?

For example when the Germans invaded Poland, they used combined arms warfare in tandem with direct air-support with the Luftwaffe to create a speedy offensive that would be called Blitzkrieg.

All those things differ from general to general.

I would give Cryptic an "A-OK" with the above response, if indeed there was really any relationship between the (almost) progressive state of Iraq, and the almost "Iron Age" realm of Afghanistan!

To me, at least, the situation is most different, as well as more troublesome!

We will see just what the current Obama administration will do within the next two years or so?
