It may not be immediately obvious, but this book does a great job of relating the evolution of combined arms warfare. The commanders’ biographies show how their development as leaders paralleled the evolution of combined arms warfare and how they became experts at combined arms integration.

McManus' 3 books on the Pacific are really good on how we grew into a joint force.

“The AEF Way of War” is a good look at the tactical development of the AEF

I know this is going to illicit some eye rolling and such, but have you considered doctrine?

Doctrine is an artifact.

You’re welcome.
