...wage war to defeat the Confederacy. By all accounts, George B. McClellan had the makings of a great general. Graduating second in his class at West Point in 1842, he served under General Winfield Scott in the Mexican War. (McPherson, 1988, p. 4) He also served with distinction early in the war by assuring that Kentucky and the region that would become West Virginia, remained out of Confederate control. (McPherson, 1988, pp. 299-301) After the Union loss at the First Battle of Bull Run, McClellan was named commander of the Army of the Potomac, and by November 1861, he was the General-in-Chief of all Federal forces. (McPherson, 1988, pp. 348-350) McClellan’s approach to waging war was one of the cautious tactician. He was quite adept at assembling forces and the supply lines necessary to sustain those forces. After being named the commander of the Army of the Potomac, McClellan set to work to prepare his troops, still stinging from defeat at Manassas, into a cohesive fighting unit, capable of taking the battle to the Confederacy. It was during this time of preparation, McClellan endeared himself...

He sleeps with brides on their wedding night, before their husbands. It is said that no one can resist his power. The old men of Uruk complain and appeal to the gods for help. The gods hear their cries and instruct Aruru, the goddess of creation, to make someone strong enough to act as a counterforce to Gilgamesh.

...Second Battle of Fallujah Mission Command Analysis Introduction The 'City of Mosques,' more commonly known as Fallujah, is located about 30 miles east of Bagdad. During the Invasion of Iraq, in 2003, Fallujah was bypassed on the way to Bagdad. Fallujah garnered a reputation of being a rough city and was left mostly unaffected until 2004. Hostile actions inside the city mandated a Coalition response which resulted the First and Second Battle of Fallujah. Success wasn't achieved until after the Second Battle of Fallujah. This paper will explore the background of the battles and conclude that MG Natonski's mission command during the second Battle of Fallujah was effective. History After the invasion, Fallujah fell under the control of various commands until 24 March, 2004 when it was transferred to 1st Marine Division (Lira, 2009.) The city has a population of approximately 300,000 (Bremer, 2006, p. 313) and is around two thousand blocks of courtyard walls...

...losses. North Korea and China had roughly 290,000 soldiers on the front lines and another 600,000 in reserve. The U.N. answered with about 250,000 soldiers on the line, and 450,000 reserves. While both sides were involved in tiresome, often frustrated treaty discussions in Panmunjom, their troops remained bunched in numerous trench systems resembling those of World War I. The continuous patrolling and artillery battles rarely made headlines at home. But sometimes battles for outposts such as Punchbowl, Heartbreak Ridge, Capitol Hill, and the Hook attracted media attention, giving them needed publicity value at the meetings. The Battle for Pork Chop Hill Introduction The conflict began when North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950. Korea was divided along the 38th parallel in 1945 after WWII; Russia occupied in the north and US in the south. While the Russians pushed the Communist Party into power, the US and UN held democratic elections. In 1949, both US and the Soviets left the peninsula. On June 25th1950, North Korea launched its surprise attack on the south. Within three days, the north took over South Korean capital of Seoul. In August, the US came to aid the south and began pushing North Korean forces back across the 38th parallel. By October, Chinese forces had come to assist North Korea. Fighting against Chinese continued for two years, until a ceasefire was signed in 1953. The conflict was never officially ended. The demilitarized zone, measuring 155 miles long and 2.5 miles...

...Battle Analysis: Battle of Ia Drang Valley The “Battle of Ia Drang Valley” took place 14 November through 18 November 1965. The battle was one of the first major battles of the Vietnam War. The battles location took place in South Vietnam where the Drang River flows into Cambodia. (Historynet) Since the Vietnam War had started, this territory had never been occupied because the enemy, People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN), occupied much of the area. The battle waged on for five days between the United States 1st Cavalry Division and the People’s Army of Vietnam. From a macro level, the United States got involved with the Vietnam War from the fear that communism empires were going to spread throughout South-east Asia. As for the Battle of Ia Drang Valley, American military commanders took the approach that it was solely a search and destroy mission of the enemy. (MilitaryHistory) Each side had slightly different war aims. The United States wanted to fly into a landing zone (LZ) and reconnaissance the area so they could find the People’s Army of Vietnam and destroy enemy elements in South Vietnam. The People’s Army of Vietnam and the Viet Cong wanted to hold onto their territory and stave off the American’s advance into their stronghold. (MilitaryHistory) The operational environment for the Battle of Ia Drang Valley had an overlying impact on how the rest of the Vietnam War was going to be fought.

Because so many Maine men responded to the call for volunteers, the state collected the extra men from various regions and collected them to form the 20th Maine, the last of the state’s three-year volunteer infantry regiments.

...ones of you in the Days of Ignoranceare the better ones of you in Islam when they understand (the religion).” These wise words of Prophet Muhammad were best proved in the case of our hero today, Khalid ibn AI-Waleed. For, it was Khalid ibn AI-Waleed who managed to cause the defeat of the Muslim army atUhud,??before his conversion t o Islam. After his acceptance of the Faith , Khalid ibn AI-Waleed was the champion of many a decisive battle in favour of Islam, such as the battle against Musaylimah the Imposter and the battle of Yarmauk against the Roman Empire’s army in Syria. In fact , the reader of history will find that Khalid ibn Al-Waleed was a military strategist and commander with very few equals in human history, a man who turned many a defeat or near defeat into glorious victories, as well shall see in the few examples we will be quoting. The first military encounter in which our hero showed his genius was the Battle of Uhud, which he (while a polytheist) caused to be the worst for Muslims in the early days of Islam. This battle was initiated by the Makkan polytheists in revenge for their defeat at the Battle of Badr, where more than thousand of them were defeated by only a little over three hundred Muslims fighters. In the Battle of Uhad, Prophet Muhammad placed a group of archers on a nearby hill to give protection to the back of the Muslim army with specific instructions not to leave their posts under any circumstances. However, when the battle proved initially to...

...can’t cover six years of global warfare in fifteen pages of text. Let’s see...I’m more interested in the War in Europe than in the Pacific, so that narrows that down some, but I need something tighter. I like airplanes, so something about the air war would be interesting, and there was this documentary on the History Channel about the Battle of Britain last month...but even the Battle of Britain is too big for twelve pages. Right, have to narrow it down some more here...do a little preliminary research and reading. Ah, here it is: the German Air Force started out trying to destroy the Royal Air Force by bombing RAF airfields, but then switched to targeting British cities. This decision cost them the battle, because it let the RAF rebuild its fighter strength and shoot down enough German bombers to force the Germans to call off the offensive. Wait a minute. That would just be a report. Got it! WHY did the Germans decide to change targets? There’s a thesis. And so you would write your paper on “Why did the Germans decide to change targets during the Battle of Britain and what effect did this decision have on the outcome of the battle?” II. Writing an Abstract: Once you have a topic and a thesis, you need to work that question into a...

...SWOT ANALYSIS I would have to say that my biggest strength is my wife and daughters, they are the reason that I do everything that I do. They could also be one of my biggest weaknesses I say this because I will do everything and anything for them no matter what. I also believe that I possess some other strengths as well, such as good communication skills, leadership skills, I am very well disciplined as well as very determined.

...Michelle Moore Ms. Jennifer Child English 1302-4 26 December 2011 What it takes to be a Hero The definition of a hero has changed profusely throughout the evolution of society. In the days of Beowulf and the Vikings, a hero was a man who was strong and courageous, willing and able to protect his tribe and provide for his people. But today, since our culture has vastly changed, so has the meaning of this word; now it is used for the brave and selfless people of the world. Though Beowulf may have acted in ways that were not so heroic, he should be recognized as a hero. Many people recognize Beowulf as the hero of Anglo-Saxon times. Beowulf was the first poem told in Anglo-Saxon England sometime between the 8th and 11th centuries, but it's not actually set in that time and place. It's actually set several hundred years earlier, in the 5th or 6th century. Beowulf does not take place in England, instead, the action happens in the land of the Danes what is known as the nation of Denmark and the land of the Geats which today is known as the nation of Sweden. The main action of the story is set around 500 a.d. Judging by Beowulf’s many feats and strengths, Beowulf’s heroism is not hard to believe. When Beowulf slays the monster Grendal in the classic tale," he was considered a great hero. The slaying of Grendel required courage, bravery, intelligence, perseverance, and mental and physical strength. Certain passages in the story support the opinion that Beowulf has all these qualities...

...that since September 11 there has been an enormous shift in the eyes of Washington D.C. It has now been made possible that nuclear devices could be set off in any American city bringing up the question and difficult responses of not knowing how to take action. If this event did occur the Bill of Rights could possibly be suspended. The argument could then be made that suspending the Bill of Rights would be an inappropriate and ineffective response to the event. There is now a huge responsibility on the United States government to prevent the terrorists attacks. Unfortunately, the United States is in a predicament to decide which liberties we are willing to give up for an enhanced measure of safety. Martin argues that this analysis of the situation is neither accurate or helpful. She believes we must look at the bigger picture asking ourselves, what do we gain through security by restricting our liberties? The government must voice their strategy on how each restriction will contribute to...
