Artillery battery

Battlefield planning was abysmal, on rare occasions where it was present. The British abandoned walking in the assault and attempted to exert a creeping barrage directing artillery fire at targets just in front of the advancing troops, which led to the mass fatalities of the soldiers at the Somme. Inchoate planning was made for the timings and coordination of the barrage. Despite the British extending the duration of the bombardment…

This institution prepares selected military, civilian, and international leaders for the responsibilities of strategic leadership, educates current and future leaders on the development and employment of land-power in a joint, multinational and…

and educated Soldier and Noncommissioned Officer, which helped to motivate him in developing other Noncommissioned Officers to be the best they could be. The first time I met CSM Williams was when I was part of the TRADOC Honor guard and Salute Battery Team on Fort Monroe parade field. While we were practicing for a retirement ceremony, he felt the need to give us some firsthand mentorship on how to properly stand and move with 155mm blank rounds without causing undo injuring to yourself or…

Today marks a very special day in Canada, the 72nd anniversary of the battle that marked the end of the biggest war in history. D-Day was long, treacherous, and seemingly unbearable battle- yet our soldiers came out victorious. Here to share what it was truly like in the trenches is blank blank. Why, from your perspective, was the D-Day campaign significant? At the time the planning and strategizing that went into preparation for D-Day was far greater then any other battle before it.…

battlefield of sand and tall grasses. Craters were in the ground as big as house foundations; from all the air artillery. William started attacking back with his own weapon, firing at the enemy’s side. As William and his battalion followed spraying at the Korean defense they grew closer to the enemy side. William and his battalion were now a quarter lengths away from the enemy walls, until a battery gun was met spraying the American forces. William then hid behind a wall of rock and shale on the…

Army received certificates of land and broke up in a sending back of the republic mistrust of its standing armies. The main army of the nation became state militias, the only exception being the Western Frontier and a single battery of artillery that guarded West Point’s arsenal. After years of conflict with the Native Americans the United States came to the conclusion that it needs a standing army. At first the army was small, but after General St. Clair’s defeat at the Battle of…

often required a minimum of six men to help work it. Machine guns were later created to be more portable, lighter and easy to use. Machine guns have become lighter and more reliable over the years. Guns like the Vickers and the Lewis gun were high artillery machine guns, but were not as reliable as guns used today. One problem discussed in class with earlier weapons was that the guns needed to be cleaned every day and the battle condition did not allow for that. The conditions caused guns to jam…

Many consider more abstract art and realism to be very distinct and separate styles of. Artists that painted in more abstract forms wished to display their emotions and views on the world, in contrast to the Realists who displayed the physical world around them and everyday events as they were. What they achieve however, is not so different. Realism aids us in understanding what the world was truly like, and not only what those in charge thought, lived or wanted others to think and live.…

Nazi Inventions during WWII Nazi Germany held a significant technological edge over other nation’s militaries during the lead-up to the war in Europe (Scott N. Romaniuk, Tobias J. Burgers, Shih-Yueh Yang 2017). Many people don’t even know about the many projects Hitler tried to keep secret. Scientist and researchers are still finding out many things that happened in Nazi Germany, during WWII. Hitler had many secret projects; many of these no one ever knew about. One of which was the Horten Ho…
