This could escalate into an international issue. Chapter 5, III.,E.,(3) of the Operational Law Handbook…

Desert Storm was the war that I remember watching on television with my father. The gulf war represented a revolution in military warfare due to advantages in technology, the speed of military forces, and the performance of American soldiers of all ranks. Therefore this was the major reason why the Persian Gulf War only lasted 100 hours. The United States had Army, Air Force, Marines, and Navy forces involved in the war. In addition to U.S. forces, the war had coalition of forces from…

became involved with their aircraft. The RCAF Aircrafts were also equipped with the enhanced radars, depth charges and machine guns to support and protect convoys against submarines. Aircraft assisted on helping protect, attack and locate Nazi U- Boats and report it back to the navy’s headquarters.

As Anna entered the iron carriage situated in the middle of the convoy Howard shouted. “Please comeback safely!” Turning to face Howard, Anna stated with a scoff. “Who the hell do you think I…

S.S. Turner left the waters of Maine and steamed south to Norfolk, Va. It would be the last time the ship would ever sail into Casco Bay. Upon arriving at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, TURNER was ordered to escort duty for its third trans-Atlantic convoy of the war. Although it was TURNER’s third trip across the Atlantic, for some of the crew it was their first. Among those of the ship’s company making their first trip was 18 year-old Seaman 2/c Boyd F. Cook.

Sweat and dirt covered my shirt. My body ached while I undid the lug nuts from the trailer tire. An hour ago, my convoy crew had finally made it back to Kuwait but found out from the tactical operations center that we had another mission. That is why I am here in the maintenance bay, making sure the truck was ready to go out again. Unfortunately, I had another flat and this was the third one this mission. Thankfully, the last two weeks had been without incident, other than a few maintenance…

our platoon; would soon be a situation that left an imprint in my life and has forever changed how I now lead as an NCO. This mission took place in 2007 near the city of Ad Dawr, Iraq.
