"Seize and hold" operations—or the capture of a bridge or castle in order to debilitate the enemy—have been vital ploys in warfare throughout history. Speed, surprise, and sufficient firepower are necessities to accomplish the task. From the bungled attempt by the Russians to destroy Japanese facilities in 1904 to the Ia Drang Valley Campaign in 1965, here are more than 60 years' worth of military attempts to seize the day—in World Wars One and Two, Korea, and Vietnam.
