...Warfare Evolution War is a never ending, yet historical event. It is supposed to be used to solve conflicts. It is supposed to determine which nation will be considered the more superior nation and to determine which nation would be considered to be the weakest. Although war is supposed to be used to solve conflicts, often times instead of solving conflicts it either makes matters worse or creates new problems. According to the Merriam Webster’s dictionary, war is defined as, “a state or period of fighting between countries or groups. It is also defined as an organized effort by a government or other large organization to stop or defeat something that is viewed as dangerous or bad (War, 2016).” War consists of a lot of violence, and unfortunately we as a society, think that is the best way to get our point across and the best way to solve problems. It is a situation that affects so many people. Not just those involved in the actual fighting in the war, but their families, their friends, and each country included in the war. When we send soldiers in to fight a battle, a lot of them will not make it back home to see their loved ones again. They may not even understand or agree with the reason behind the war. They just know they were called to serve their country and that’s what they will do. Based on the history of the United States of America, we have been at war for about 90% of the time since 1776. Some of the wars that have been instrumental within our history and that I...

...what is trench warfare and why was so much of World War 1 dominated by this method of fighting? how did trench warfare affect the duration of the war? Trench Warfare is most commonly used in WWI and was not a war of velocity. It consisted of death because of infections from trench water: rain water that stayed in the trenches and often infected cuts. It was rat-infested do the soldiers never went hungry. Because of industrialization in the late 19th century or 1800s, new fancy war weapons came into style such as machine guns, generic tanks from Britain, and early dogfighting planes. Machine guns could mow down any amount of people in a matter of seconds because of its velocity and mass firing power. To avoid those bullets each side dug ditches or trenches to take cover. Each side thought that by doing so, they could eventually take over the enemy by planting in. Most Europeans of that time were stubborn and the Germans were known to be belligerent people and the French to save their hides and the war's cause had no option to just not budge. English helped as well. Also, Germany came up with the Schlieffen Plan which was to fight two fronts: one in the west and in the east. They were killing Russians without much trouble but the English and French offered trouble so they had to stay in the western front and continue trench warfare in order to weaken the primary fighters in WWI. The strategy was basically a war of attrition or to see who gives out first and then the visitor...

...Becoming experts in warfare Praise and Worship (KJV) 2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God & we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” ( 2 Corinthians 10 : 4,5 ). NIV In the spiritual warfare that every christian believer is involved, several invaluable weapons can be effectively used by him or her to destroy the enemy, however great or powerful the enemy be. Praise and Worship, ( praise & thanksgiving with psalms, hymns & spiritual songs and with other tongues), the Blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus, the Word of God ( Sword of the Spirit), prayers & fasting are the main weapons that every believer can use against the enemy. Faith is one important factor that is significant in the usage of the weapons for without faith one cannot please God according to Hebrews 11:6. “ And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that he exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him”. Holiness, Obedience to God, Seperation and...

...CHAPTER 1 — BASIC RADAR PRINCIPLES AND GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS INTRODUCTION The word radar is an acronym derived from the phrase RAdio Detection And Ranging and applies to electronic equipment designed for detecting and tracking objects (targets) at considerable distances. The basic principle behind radar is simple - extremely short bursts of radio energy (traveling at the speed of light) are transmitted, reflected off a target and then returned as an echo. Radar makes use of a phenomenon we have all observed, that of the ECHO PRINCIPLE. To illustrate this principle, if a ship’s whistle were sounded in the middle of the ocean, the sound waves would dissipate their energy as they traveled outward and at some point would disappear entirely. If, however the whistle sounded near an object such as a cliff some of the radiated sound waves would be reflected back to the ship as an echo. The form of electromagnetic signal radiated by the radar depends upon the type of information needed about the target. Radar, as designed for marine navigation applications, is pulse modulated. Pulse-modulated radar can determine the distance to a target by measuring the time required for an extremely short burst of radio-frequency (r-f) energy to travel to the target and return to its source as a reflected echo. Directional antennas are used for transmitting the pulse and receiving the reflected echo, thereby allowing determination of the direction or bearing of the target echo. Once...

...fight back, they were just too spread thin and disjointed. 5. atriots fighting in the Revolutionary war against the British may appear to be at a severe disadvantage at first glance. The British are better trained and better equipt. However, the Colonists had a lot more power than you might think. Firstly, they wanted to win more. At the end of the day the British were fighting for money, and the Colonists were fighting for freedom. The Stakes for an American Soldier is freedom from what they see as a tyranical Government, the British Soldiers are just following orders. The Colonists passion could also be why they fight so viciously. The British are used to fighting uniformly, very regally in columns and rows. The American's used Guerilla warefare, which means they would do things like hide behind things, come and shoot and run away among other things. The British were not used to, or prepared for this. The war was also taking place in the Colonies, which means Patriots have a much better understanding of the land. American supplies also arrive much faster since the war is being fought in the Colonies. 6. (Main Essay) The British place a tax on Northern American imports to their country. As a result, the North places a tax on imports to theirs. This protects the North's businesses from competition. Since the tariff favors the North, and only inconveniences them, South Carolina openly opposes the tariff of 1816 and South Carolina threatens to leave the Union. President Andrew Jackson...

...This ship was originally used by explorers on expeditions, but was modified into a battleship used for in battle support and transport.(Timothy) These major advancements were made in naval and ground warfare were made because wars over territory or trying to break down a monarchy were happening more frequently. Soldiers often joined in on these wars because of the thought of chivalry. The action of fighting for honor or glory. Others join because they believed they would receive loot or have an adventure. Often times, there was not enough men to supply a full army. Even if the kings drafted men into the army, they would often desert at the first chance they received. Therefore kings would often hire mercenaries to fight in their army.(“Warefare”) At first catapults could not break down high castle walls so the defenders often had the advantage over the attackers. After the invention of the cannon however, these high castle walls could be destroyed easily so armies were forced to fight out in the open. During battle soldiers would often get into a square formation with pikemen and cavalry lining the front and crossbows supporting in the back. As firearms were developed it was easy to hit targets in the heavy square formation. Armies began to make thinner lines with far less large calvary eliminating the fighting format. The Italians made castles with shorter, thicker walls. The cannons could not penetrate these walls and so the advantage went back to the defenders and siege tactics...
