Battle of Camden

Let’s get this out of the way right up front: the Second Battle of Winterfell, the titular Battle of the Bastards, does for medieval and fantasy warfare what Steven Spielberg did for World War II cinema in Saving Private Ryan. The intensity of the battle, the intimacy, the choice to stay in narrow focus on Jon Snow in the midst of chaos during an extended long-shot, all worked together to create an experience that had me not only on the edge of my seat, but holding my breath as I watched. But…

less its use in Sioux Falls’ own Battle for the Arts. Intended as a witty turn-of phrase, “the pen is mightier than the sword” has taken on new meaning where a Sharpie Magnum is the weapon of choice. With a keen eye, a skilled hand and a time limit, artists are wielding the mighty maker for victory in Sioux Falls own Battle for the Arts. Currently in it’s second season, Battle for the Arts began in January 2010, the brainchild of local artist Micah Luke. The first Battle for the Arts took place…

Parker’s explanation of the western style of war also underlines the lifestyle of the typical farmer-soldier aka hoplites in ancient Greece, which is another one of many reasons for the decisiveness of the battles the west has always preferred. The average hoplite was a farmer and while willing to go to war, preferred that the war didn’t last more than a single-day as he had to get back to his farm and not lose out on any standard of living he would otherwise…

The son of Phillip II, he was able to continue his father’s mission to make Macedon into a powerful military and economic force. (Walbank, 2016) The conquests and empire-building of Alexander the Great changed the history and culture of Europe, with his battle tactics being used by many future military leaders, as well as Hellenistic influence being spread…

Future armed conflict will be complex, in part, because threats, enemies, and adversaries are becoming increasingly capable and elusive. State and nonstate actors employ traditional, unconventional, and hybrid strategies that threaten U.S. security and vital interests. The complexity of future armed conflict is due to increasing momentum of human interaction, threats emanating from dense and weakly governed urban areas, the availability of lethal weapon systems, and the proliferation of CBRNE…

WARTIME ADAPTATION: AN EDGE OVER PEACETIME INNOVATION Do you know that, mere rodents beat the massive Dinosaurs into evolutionary dusts about 65 million years ago? Similarly, the strongest militaries will follow the Dinosaurs into oblivion if they fail to adapt to the changes. Though many scholars emphasize on innovations during peace, this paper argues that victory in the war depends more on wartime adaptation than peacetime innovation. Murray in his seminal book, “Military Adaptation in War:…

changer, but that did not last forever. The tank evolved into a more mobile and armored piece of machinery, tactics changed to account for these beasts of metal and fossil fuel, and the idea of warfare became even scarier for some. Eventually some battles were fought entirely around the idea of the tank, both sides scurrying about the battlefield, firing shell after shell. Time continued to pass and even more terrible weapons came,…

This means that the soldiers have common experiences in war and over time they can either turn into an improved part of war, or a completely different aspect. As time passes by, soldiers have experienced a difference in war, from new forms of communication with loved ones to having near death experiences to having PTSD as a result. Men and women experience…
