Battle of Fredericksburg

The purpose of this paper is to describe how the United States Army coordinates and integrates organic and Joint, Interagency, Multinational (JIM) fires capabilities, at strategic, operational, and tactical levels, through all five domains (land, maritime, air, cyber, and space), to provide scalable lethal and non-lethal effects to combatant commanders.

conflicts included in this essay, written with excessive amounts of imagery, establish examinable themes. Henry handles each theme during his battles bravely; however, during his four-day war experience, he struggles with coming to terms with his fears and fighting for his beliefs. He is literally battling the Confederate Army, all while fighting a figurative battle in his mind. Not fit to be a soldier--and fearing that he will desert--Henry believes he does not have the courage to fight. Also…

deaths of Ned, Life, and Sam, that leads him to become neutral. Ned’s death influences Tim to choose neutrality. Ned was a slave that believed in the Patriot cause. One day, when the British army came through Redding, Ned was beheaded during an intense battle: “He slid his sword into Ned’s stomach...the sword flashed in a bright arc...Ned’s head jumped off his body and popped into the air”(144-145). His death shows major injustice because the British could’ve just arrested him, but instead they…

The second major characteristic of a total war is that the conventional boundaries of war are ignored. In particular this focuses on the targeting of enemy non-combatants in order to break the will of the enemy. The clearest example of this characteristic being demonstrated by the British Empire can be seen in the utilization of strategic bombings. Strategic bombings were conducted by all of the major combatants during the war. These bombings were carried out deep within enemy territory. Their…

became the basis of American tactics once they got into their stride and it was used to great effect. However, to be fair to the exponents of the swift armoured thrust, such as Gen George S. Patton Jr, tying tanks down to a more slow moving type of battle did lead to some great ‘lost opportunities’. The actual detailed use of the doctrine of course varied with the terrain and…
