Even though Field Artillery and Air Defense Artillery are two separate branches now, both inherit Artillery traditions.The roots of the Artillery branch insignia goes as far back as 1834 in which the insignia that we have now was just two gold cannons were crossed over each other and worn on artillery officer’s caps. In this time, Artillery was just starting out as a branch of the Army. The equipment that they had was in a more temporary state, for the reason that the fundings for Artillery as a branch...

Elements of air defense artillery were introduced into the Army in the autumn of 1917, however, it was not established as an official branch of the US Army until1968. In the 50 year history that led to the air defense artillery becoming its own branch air defense soldiers and units have distinguished themselves while defending the skies around America’s defended assets. One of these distinguished units is the 60th Coastal Artillery (AA)....

...American Military Technology Gary Smith MIL 311 American Military History II Instructor Trevor Albertson March 2, 2014 Introduction “Technology shapes the conduct of war in a tremendous way. It determines how wars are fought, how armies are organized and also many of the limitations they have,” according to Krishnan (2008, p. 1). The United States armed forces have seen many innovations in military technology that have helped project the United States as a global leader in politics and military matters. World War II was the catapult that launched the United States onto the world stage and began the shift of American armed forces swing towards advancing military technology to maintain the ability to politically have significance throughout the globe. American dominance of military technology has continued from World War II through modern times, with a significant focus towards the future and private sectors being the important key to maintaining that dominance. World War II Technology Advancements Starting with technology advancement during World War II, the U.S. Navy did not advance as strongly as other branches. Aircraft carriers came of age and dominated as the main focus of fleets, while submarines became incredible predators of the seas. The actual development of new ships was not really there, since the turn-around time of such an endeavor outweighed the benefits during wartime. However, the Navy did make strides in SONAR technology, which would...

...Unification of the Navy, Army and Air Force On 1 February 1968, Bill C-243, The Canadian Forces Reorganization Act became law and the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) were combined into one service - the Canadian Forces. This process was accomplished by "integration" of the three services, and then Unification into a homogenous organization. I believe that Paul Hellyer helped shape the Canadian Forces into what it is today and also I do think that the integration and unification was a bad thing at the time as if it didn’t happen back in the 1968 it surely would have happen at a later date with General Rick Hillier. I will look into the process that Paul Hellyer took in bringing these three different services together under unification and explore some other opinions that I have found amongst way vast research upon the web. In 1964 the Minister of National Defense Paul Hellyer published the White Paper on Defense. In it he proposed the unification of the three services, the creation of a single command structure reporting to the Chief of Defense Staff and the restructuring of the current geographically based commands into six function-based commands. The process began with the introduction of Bill C-90 creating the CDS’ office and a single chain of command and culminated with Bill 243 the Canadian Forces Reorganization Act in February 1968, which unified the three services and created the Canadian Forces, as we know...

...1967 THE SIX DAY WAR - AIR CAMPAIGN INTRODUCTION 1. The 1967 Arab-Israel six day war was the 3rd major struggle faced by the Israel in order to maintain its existence since it became a state in 1948[1]. The war can be considered as one of the most perfect military operations in the modern period. Surprisingly in just six days, the Israel Defence Force (IDF) managed to defeat the armed forces of the three major Arab countries and conquered Sinai, The West Bank and The Golan Height. The victories gave Israel more security from attack and secured a dominant military position in the region[2]. The combination of three major (Air, Land and Maritime) strike planned by the Israel has resulted the victory for Israeli. Even though the war involved three main elements, this paper will just focus on the air campaign which can be considered as the main factor for the victory of Israel and the failure for the Arabs’ allies. 2. The purpose of this paper is to provide a general brief on the background of the war and will focus more on the air campaign as the decisive factor that lead to the Israel victory. The flow of this paper will start with the genesis of the war which will provide the background of the six days war followed by the comparison of the Order of Battle (ORBAT). The comparison of ORBAT will give the summary of the assets involved and destroyed in the war and its effects on the outcome of the war. Series of the event from the first day of war until...

...Bomber that is used by the U.S. Air Force. It was first envisioned in the 1950’s as a supersonic Bomber with Mach 2 speed, and sufficient range and payload to replace the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. However, when it was brought into full operation, it was developed into the B-1B, primarily a low level penetrator with long range and Mach 1.25 speed capability at high altitude. The initial B-1 Bomber program was cancelled, partly because it was becoming obsolete, and also for political reasons. It was designed by the Rockwell international developers and it started service in the year of 1986 with the help of Strategic Air Command SAC. Customer and Expectations The United States Air Force USAF was the primary customer for the B-1B program, and the Strategic Air Command was the direct customer responsible for operating the B-1 Bomber. During development of the B-1 Bomber the Air Force had varying expectations which lead to it initial cancellation and regeneration of the B-1B that we know today. (Brook, 2012). The United Sates Air Force USAF expected the B-1B program to provide the advanced capability that was needed to improve their defense system. The major expectation associated with this program for the United Sates Air Force was to give the Air Force long range attack capability. (Gutenberg.org, 2014) Requirements This program was very significant and it followed the major developments and advancements towards the United States Air Force USAF. In those times the...

...attacks on the Japanese main islands.[2] This five-week battle comprised some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting of the War in the Pacific of World War II. After the heavy losses incurred in the battle, the strategic value of the island became controversial. It was useless to the U.S. Army as a staging base and useless to the U.S. Navy as a fleet base.[4] However, Navy Seabees rebuilt the landing strips, which were used as emergency landing strips for USAAF B-29s.[5] The Imperial Japanese Army positions on the island were heavily fortified, with a dense network of bunkers, hidden artillery positions, and 18 km (11 mi) of underground tunnels.[6][7] The Americans on the ground were supported by extensive naval artillery and complete air supremacy over Iwo Jima from the beginning of the battle by U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviators.[8] Iwo Jima was also the only battle by the U.S. Marine Corps in which the American casualties exceeded the Japanese, although Japanese combat deaths numbered three times the number of American deaths.[9] Of the 22,000 Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima at the beginning of the battle, only 216 were taken prisoner, some of whom were captured because they had been knocked unconscious or otherwise disabled.[1] The majority of the remainder were killed in action, although it has been estimated that as many as 3,000 continued to resist within the various cave systems for many days afterwards,...

...Strategic Defense Initiative The presidents of the United States have always had a defense plan which is to protect our country from anything that comes our way. It was a very low priority to develop defenses against ballistic missiles until the 1950’s. (History Resources) This may have been brought up because it was the actual era in which missiles were starting to be made and can actually affect the United States as a hole. The president started to come up with ideas to try and protect the country from things such as missiles. It brings the bigger idea in which how it changed the world, the affects it brings, and how it grew from just being the thought of having a defense initiative as to growing with military defenses and technology in the world as it has grown. It can really affect the nation as a hole because it can either swipe out parts of the world slowly, protect the United States from being attacked, or it can cause the actual action of a country wanting to attack due to our defense initiatives which will be trying to prove its not strong and that the United States is not fully thinking of what they are doing. It brings many enemies or just the fact that the United States can be a target to have a missile attack upon since it has a defense against missile in the air or land-based installations to shoot down missiles in the air. (The New York by: The Learning Network). Having defense initiatives can change the world as a hole because it may have affects where countries...

...December 1972, after nearly a decade of being in Vietnam, American forces decided to take a final push for victory. For 11 days and nights US Navy and Air Force bombers, led by the vulnerable B-52 flew around the clock missions, deploying over 15 thousand tons of bombs onto North Vietnam. The operation known as Linebacker II brought the communist war machine to its knees. The men and machines of Linebacker II didn’t just fly bombing missions, they ultimately flew America out of the Vietnam war. Many historians place the outcome of the Vietnam War and Linebacker II in the hands of the pilots, crews and the bombers that they flew.
