Warfare by type

It is imperative that the Marines retain the skills honed from fifteen years of combined arms and irregular warfare, but shift their focus back to amphibious assault in contrast to a protracted role of a standing army. The advantages of an extensive maritime global commons presence enable a power projection and influence ashore. The disadvantages encompass the reality that seventy-one percent of the earth’s surface is water, but even with the largest naval fleet in the world the tyranny of distance and the expanse of time to position assets…

There are many types of burns such as heat burns, friction burns, cold temperature burns, chemical burns, electrical burns, and radiation burns. In general burns damage or injure skin layers and other parts of the body such as muscles, nerves, blood vessels, lungs and eyes. These burns are classified as first, second, or third degree burns depending on the layers of skin and tissue that are damaged. As one shall know the deeper the burn the more serious the burn is. First degree burns are burns…

Types Of Gun Safes Not all gun safes are created equal. In fact, not all gun safes are really gun safe. For the most part, there are two types of gun storage options: actual gun safes and gun lockers. Confusing as they might be, for the sake of marketing juice many gun lockers call themselves gun safes. Clear as mud now? There's no bright line between safe and locker, but if there is a major distinction it's fire protection. Gun safes have it, lockers don't. Depending on steel gauge, lockers…

Trench Warfare in WW1 Trench warfare played a major role in World War 1 due to the constant offensive and defensive positions the soldiers were in. World War 1 began in 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife. The assassination was just a trigger as there was already unrest between countries in Europe. The opposing sides were Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey. The allied sides were Russia. France and Great Britain. Australia joined the war because of association…

In the book, Boot gives us a thorough description of both groups and then goes on to explain how each group coordinates warfare. Guerrilla forces maintain an objective of capturing, controlling, and eventually defeating more powerful militaries as described by Boot. Guerrilla forces also may include a large number of soldiers and have been the dominant form of warfare following World War II. Terrorist groups differ in that most only have some dozens to a few hundreds of fighters who support the…

the Treaty of Versailles, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and The Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare, otherwise known as the Geneva Protocol. However, the Geneva Protocol is one of the most comprehensive and arguably successful agreements to come from the time period despite being short in comparison to similar documents. The Geneva Protocol aimed to prohibit the use of “of asphyxiating, poisonous or…

The Chemical Warfare Service The lessons learned from the involvement of the United States in World War I would identify the need for a military organization that specialized in Chemical Warfare. The use of chemical weapons was one of the most deadly and effective tactics experienced by both sides during the trench-style warfare. Due to the concern that the chemical weapon strategies of the First World War would continue on in future armed conflicts, the United States Army created the Gas…

However, after analyzing the history of asymmetric warfare and the changes and behaviors that have taken place through this time, I have become critical of the assumption that asymmetric warfare has ever ‘risen’. Warfare, in which weak actors have fought against unassailable opponents within their means and resources, is not a type of warfare that can be considered new. The notion of a “rise of asymmetric warfare” may be loaded with assumptions related to Western imperialism and…

(2) The sights of a musket are very inaccurate. Some musketeers have their weapons made by different gunsmiths but there was not one universal sight. All the sighs were different and most of the sights were off. (3) The butts of the guns were all different. The butt of a common man’s gun could be faulty due to the cheap parts used to make the gun. The cheap parts will cause the musket be to be less accurate. Linear warfare made the American soldiers looks less of a coward. If the American hid…
