The US Army traces its history back to the formation of the Continental Army on 14 June, 1775. There are Army wide traditions, and unit level traditions. Some of these are very serious. We trace the civilian control of the US Armed Forces to George Washington's voluntary release of power after the American Revolution. The strong tradition of following the orders of our civilian leadership is also an important part of the culture of the whole nation. Other traditions are very local, such as the rights of the Third Infantry to march with fixed bayonets. Many units in the US Army have strong traditions such as unit mottoes. When an enlisted man salutes an officer in many of these units, he will call...

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan, Aug. 3, 2005 -- One of the most encouraging successes of the United States military presence in Afghanistan is the approaching completion of the TK Road, a road bringing together the cities of Kandahar and Tarin Kowt. Coalition forces have been dedicated to connecting Afghanistan by road, a task that has spanned 14 months and 117 kilometers. "The best weapons of the Taliban are not (improvised explosive devices) and (rocket propelled grenades) -- its ignorance and isolation." -U.S. Army Lt. Col. Paul M. Paolozzi With elections on the horizon, extending transportation routes into more rural areas of Afghanistan will play an essential role in encouraging the democratic...

Sweden has two special forces teams- the Special Protection Group, Särskilda Skyddsgruppen or SSG and the Special Reconnaissance Group, Särskilda Inhämtningsgruppen or SIG. Both units report to the ministry of defense and are under the direct command of the Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces. There are plans underway to merge the SSG and the SIG into a single unit by 2011. Their History The SPG became active in 1994 whereas the SIG was established much later in 2006.

The Swedish Army serves the people of Sweden and has also been deployed globally. Recently, the...

In the U.S. Army and Army National Guard, a Field Grade Officer is a commissioned officer holding the rank of Major, Lieutenant Colonel or Colonel. A Field Grade Officer (FGO) is senior to a Company Grade Officer (CGO), such as a Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant or Captain. Both men and women can serve in these positions. Most FGOs have 10-26 years of military experience, whereas a CGO has 0-8 years experience. If you were to compare one to their civilian counterparts, a FGO would be a senior level manager in charge of a project or department. To put things in perspective, the Army Officer ranks are divided into ten grades. All Army National Guard Officers (except doctors, dentists, etc.) start...

The call was similar to most. A young gal called stating that her marriage was at the failure mark. Despite her husband being home from Iraq for the past two years, he was still "checked out." There was no emotional bond anymore and the only way they seemed to communicate was through loud, angry, sometimes screaming "conversations." All he wanted to do was sleep and drink beer - his days at work, when he did work, were long and his pay didn't cover the needs of their seven member family. They sought counseling but had a bad experience with the chaplain's office and because he served in the National Guard, there were no "counseling" benefits. As a matter of fact, there were no benefits, period. As...

The same old question continues to haunt Obama as was before him when he assumed office in January should he continue the course charted by his predecessor, which has caused great damage to his country and drawing it further into the sinkhole; or deliver on the promise of hope and change he made not only to his own people but the whole world? That time he missed the opportunity granted by a broad national mandate and the universal consensus against the Bush policies. One hopes he won't miss the chance this time when the people are demanding to do something about the national and world ailments. He was aware then and is convinced now that the policies of Bush administration have failed, rather worked...

Aside from the Coast Guard, the Air Force has the highest ASVAB AFQT score requirements for enlistment than any other branch of military service. If you are taking the Airforce ASVAB, you will need a minimum AFQT score of 36 if you have a high school diploma and a 65 if you hold a GED. The minimum ASVAB AFQT score for Army and Navy is 31, Marines a 32 and the Coast Guard requires a 40 for enlistment qualification. The Air Force offers a guaranteed job to about forty percent of their new active duty recruits. Most enlistees are asked to choose one of four aptitude areas from the beginning, and later assigned to a particular job within that category. Air Force Job Categories & Scoring...

Born on February 12, 1893 in Clark, Missouri, Omar Bradley came from a poor family. He was the son of a school teacher and at an early age it was stressed to him the importance of a good education. He was educated at the local public schools but upon graduating high school he applied and was excepted to West Point. He entered the academy in 1911 at the age of 18 and graduated in 1915. Besides himself, his class contained many future generals giving the West Point Academy class of 1915 the name "The class the stars fell upon.". Upon leaving West Point he joined the 14th Regiment but never seen action in Europe during World War I. During this time he served on the Mexican border and it was here that...

Are you taking the ASVAB Test? You will find that there are many ASVAB Study Guides to choose from. But how do you decide which one is best for you? The cost of ASVAB study guides range widely. Some study material is free, while some study guides are very expensive. Content varies as well. Some study guides cover all the areas on the exam, while some only cover the AFQT section of the ASVAB Test or are missing one or two of the ten sections. Some study guides also include a practice test while others do not. Kevin was taking the ASVAB Test. He had always wanted to join the military, just like his father. His dream was to move up in ranks throughout his career. He knew that he needed a high score on...

It becomes increasingly difficult to find anything of use in the media these days. Everything is wrapped in the cocoon of nonspeak; outrage is cloformed into warm and fuzzy. We have been brow beaten by the Bonnie and Clyde administration until we are numbed into submission. Like Londoners during the blitz no one gets excited by the air raid sirens anymore. We crawl out of the shelters each morning oblivious to the new damage and unconcerned about the destruction of our neighbors. The effectiveness of the media should not be discounted; they have done a wonderful job. They are the shinning stars of this cabal. Had a coup de tat such as this happen in 1939 when Edward R. Morrow had been at the peek of...

In the 1850s, white settlers began to push for territorial government, and by 1853, Congress had decided that eastern Kansas should be open to settlement. The treaties with Native Americans were renegotiated, and the U.S. Government regained nearly all the land that it had ceded to them "forever" only a few years before. The Indians were then largely relocated to Oklahoma. In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act became law, and established the Nebraska and Kansas Territories. A controversial provision of the Act was that settlers in the territories would decide for themselves whether to allow slavery within the borders ("popular sovereignty"), rather than following the earlier Missouri Compromise which...

Military service members in the United States Marine Corps may want to take advantage of their Tuition Assistance (TA) benefits to get a head start on preparing for a post-military career in the civilian sector. As part of its ongoing commitment to provide assistance to the men and women who so nobly serve our country, the Marines offer several programs designed to support the educational goals of its members.

Everyone has heard about the great people of our nation. Not the founding fathers or any of the others of history, but the current heroes of today. There is the Army, the Navy and the Marines, but also among them is the United States Air Force, which is the aerial and space warfare branch of the United States armed forces. Before September 18, 1947, they were a part of the Army, but branched out separately after the National Security Act of 1947. The Air Force's official mission is "to fly, fight, and win... in air, space and cyberspace." In order to keep achieving this goal, they must keep up with the development of Airmen, technological warfare and integrating operations. This helps the Air Force...

Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, veterans, and peace officers who will fulfill their sworn oath to "support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, so help me God." I recently learned about Stewart Rhodes, a Yale-educated lawyer. Stewart served on the staff of Texas Congressman Ron Paul until after the 2008 elections. While he was there, he formed a new idea. Seeing the fast encroaching totalitarianism infecting the Federal Government, he correctly concluded that without willing and compliant military, combined with local law enforcement personnel, the tyrants among us could not subjugate the American populace. So, Stewart...

bly, no President in history has received a legendary status equal to George Washington. His reputation as a gifted military leader stems partially from his unique perspective as the leader of counterinsurgency forces (as a young officer in the Seven Year’s War) and as the leader of an insurgent army (in the Revolutionary War). Within OPSEC circles, Washington is often quoted as saying, "Even minutiae should have a place in our collection, for things of a seemingly trifling nature, when enjoined with others of a more serious cast, may lead to valuable conclusion." While this is certainly true you must understand that this is a lesson our first president learned through bitter, near fatal...

Senator McCain has long ago joined ranks with his fellow Democrats (even though he is not officially a Democrat, he may as well be) to tie our American servicemen and women's collective hands behind their back to actually win this war. Associated Press writer Liz Sodoti writes: A ban on cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of foreign terrorism suspects is likely to be included mostly, if not entirely, in a final defense bill, a key House Republican said Tuesday. - Yahoo! News [ My first response to this was simply, "What?" Am I mistaken here, or are we now supposed to worry about how humanely we treat terrorists who have absolutely no problem killing as many innocent Americans as they wish by...

One of the most popular police dramas on TV to is NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service which is often referred to by is acronym NCIS. Each week millions of viewers tune in to watch Mark Harmon and the rest of the cast take on criminals, terrorists, and traitors in Washington D.C. and around the globe. While there is plenty of action and intrigue how much of what happens on the show actually goes on in a typical NCIS agent's day? Now of coarse any TV show greatly exaggerates any real life situation, but is everything the fictional agents of NCIS completely fantasy? While NCIS isn't overly technical and by no means a documentary of the agency it does get a lot right, and they do know how to...

Every day we hear of war stories, and sometimes we don't even stop to think of the reality of what is actually going on. Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam and Bosnia innocent victims are continuing to be killed. We call it collateral damage, is there another name for it? The assault on Kandahar just recently, lead by NATO and United States Forces saw the Taliban killing more innocent people in the conflict. This of course will continue, and many more innocent civilians will be maimed and killed as long as this conflict continues and the more they injure will lead for less support for the NATO and United States Forces in the region. We hear it on the news every day, but it's hard to understand what's going...

Have you ever been driving down the road behind someone who has military decals on their vehicle? A military decal is like a bumper sticker or sticker of some sort that shows membership or support for an organization or a group of some sort. Often times there are certain decals that support the military whether it is the army, the air force, the marines, or even he reserve units. Sometimes people have other support decals such as military gifts. These coins are a sort of memorabilia that people hold in place of lost soldiers or veterans. Just like a symbolic yellow ribbon for soldiers overseas, car bumper stickers and other kinds of support signs are used all over the country in support for our...

USMC Intelligence is one of the country's top-most authorities on all matters of intelligence. The United States Marine Corp issues only the best standards.

Vietnam medals are rewards for the meritorious military services in Vietnam. Vietnam, a south Asian country, was under a serious civil war which ultimately resulted in the unification of Vietnam during the period of 1945 to 1975. It was a massive riot which caused much causality. South Vietnam made alliances with foreign countries like the US, Australia, and New Zealand and the allies supplied enough troops and arms for the combat in the country. Vietnam medals are the medals issued to appreciate the service of these people in Vietnam. Vietnam medals were issued by countries like Vietnam, US, Australia and New Zealand for the military service rendered during the period of March 1, 1961 through...

To begin, there are five levels of Warrant Officer rank in the United States Army. Rank begins with the Warrant Officer 1, and ends with the Chief Warrant Officer 5. Along with each proper rank name, is an abbreviated rank identifier and a Warrant Officer grade, or pay grade. The grades also start at W1 and end at W5. Warrant Officers are probably the least understood service members in the military. The Warrant Corps is relatively small, having been established in the Army in 1896. In fact, these rather unique ranks exist only in the Army, Marine Corps and Navy. The Air Force has no Warrants. Warrant Officers are technical experts, and come mainly from the enlisted ranks. Good Warrant...

ASVAB scoring is not as simple and straight forward as you might think. In fact, nothing about it is simple or straight forward. It is a good idea to understand the difference between the ASVAB AFQT and the ASVAB GT before you sit down for the exam. The ASVAB is actually nine individual subtests covering a range of subjects. That's why they call it a battery (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery). Each subtest is scored individually and plays a different role in the ASVAB process. The ASVAB AFQT ( Armed Forces Qualification Test) is not another test, it's the score of four subtest including Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Mathematical Knowledge(MK), Word Knowledge (WK) and Paragraph...

The military offers a great opportunity to young people who are trying to find some direction or order in their lives. There are many great advantages and you need to educate yourself on what they have to offer.

Imagine this not-so-unimaginable scenario: A police officer pulls up to a house where a domestic disturbance has been reported. As the officer approaches the house, a man wielding a gun bursts out the front door, aims his weapon at the officer, and screams, "I'm going to kill you!" The officer has no place to take cover. What would a reasonable law enforcement official do in such a situation? Any officer will tell you that if a man is pointing a gun at him and yelling that he is going to shoot the officer, the policeman is well within his legal rights to shoot first in self defence. All that is required to justify lethal force is that the officer fears for his life. He does not have to wait for the...

When I was growing up, one of my father's ways of making me, along with my sister and two brothers behave, was to tell us that he was the captain in charge and we - like it or not - were his soldiers. You see, following the First World War, Dad wanted to join the military, but for some physical reasons, he never made it into the Army or the Navy. But he did join the cavalry of the Pennsylvania National Guard for a few months. While serving there, he learned all about: marching, commands, how to give orders and how to ride a horse. Of course, he also became familiar with most of the disciplinary practices used by the military such as the all-important use of passwords. One thing I remember vividly...

In the military it is unusual to not be in shape for those who are involved, but for those who are not, there is a way to stay up to par with everyone else. A military workout is one that takes lots of hard work and dedication. There is a lot of pain involved and it usually takes a lot of time. It is usually performed in a group with a squadron or a training group, but in a gym or at home you usually will not have that opportunity. To be just like the squadrons you will need the right military t-shirt uniform. Military t-shirts are very durable and are comfortable cotton. These shirts are also extremely affordable and they usually come in three different colors: Black, Brown, and Green. Each force...

Yesterday I listed several areas in which every person in this country will benefit when there is immigration reform which would legalize the millions of people living here illegally; the military, Social Security, our economy, our future economy, education and national security. That column only talked about our economy, this one will continue with the others, starting with Social Security and our military. We all know the undocumented people living here have broken the law by coming in illegally or overstaying their visa and yet, something has to be done to get them registered and legalized. A majority of our citizens say we should find a way to solve this problem. This country needs them. One...

U.S. Representative Jack Kingston- a Republican from Georgia, has introduced a bill that would lower the drinking age to 18 at domestic and foreign military bases. This proposed legislation would allow these individuals that are under 21 to drink beer (3.2 beer - although most domestic beers are a minimum of 4.6 percent alcohol) at base restaurants and clubs only. I agree with Sheila McNeill (the Navy League's former national president) when she says - "If you are responsible enough to be willing to sacrifice your life for your country, you should be able to drink alcohol. They should not have to sneak around and do it." I have always felt and will continue to believe that if our youth is willing to...

While the Jeep is famous in its history of serving the US military there is some misunderstanding concerning who created the original Jeep. Many incorrectly attribute the development of the first Jeep to Willys. The true inspiration of the first Jeep design came from a small and relatively unknown company by the name of the American Bantam Car Company based in Butler, PA. The American Bantam Car Company was first established as a subsidiary of the Austin Car Company, a British car manufacturer, and was originally called American Austin Car Company. Austin made a small and economical car called the Austin Seven, which was very popular in England. Unfortunately for the Austin Car Company, the...

As reported in the New York Times, classified military documents concerning the war in Afghanistan, spanning a period of six years, were made public on Sunday. The documents are often at variance with official accounts of the war and are bound to stir up considerable controversy and debate.   The documents were probably procured and revealed illegally, but are too important to be discarded casually. Primarily they detail how the American military and establishment have deliberately winked at Pakistan's duplicity in its dealings with both America and Afghanistan, all at the altar of political expediency. For example, there is growing evidence that the cozy relationship Pakistan's military...

To be truly effective, a strategic plan has to embody certain key elements. First, and foremost, the plan has to be based on a vision -- that is, a vision what success looks like. This element is the cornerstone of an effective plan, and it applies to the military as well as to business. In Barry Ritholtz' book "The Bailout Nation," he quotes Bob Algern, the former counsel for BP Amoco regarding a "key lesson from history: We should pay head to the sheer number of empires that became overstretched militarily and then sunk under their own weight. We need a military and intelligence system structured for the next century, not the last one. And just as important, we need to be able to size these...

The United States Marine Corps has a long and proud history of operating helicopters and developing, and implementing helicopter tactics. The Marines began developing helicopter assault tactics after WWII. In the Korean and Vietnam Wars, they put their theories to the test, improving what worked and altering or discarding what didn't. The Marine Corps of today is a highly effective, highly mobile fighting force. They owe a great deal of their mobility to helicopters and the Marine aviators who developed and perfected present day tactics. The Marines use a variety of helicopters to perform their mission. One of them is the Bell AH-1 Cobra. The current Cobra, the AH-1Z, derives from a long line of...

The "Battle of Hue" was a surprise attack which began on the morning of January 31, 1968 in the South Vietnamese city of Hue, and proved to be one of the most costly and time consuming battles during the Vietnam War. It was also known as the "Tet Offensive," because of its occurrence during what was supposed to be a truce due to the celebration of "Tet" or "Vietnamese New Year." The Battle of Hue proved to be one of the most costly and time consuming battles during the Vietnam War. Hue was used as a United States naval supply base, and contained five U.S. military battalions with an estimated 3,000 U.S. Marines, 2,000 U.S. Army soldiers, and about 11,000 South Vietnamese Army (A.R.Vn) soldiers...

No matter which part of the military in which you want to enlist you'll be taking the same entry test - the Armed Service Vocational Aptitude or ASVAB test. However, each service branch treats the scores you achieve on the ASVAB test a little differently and the Marines is no exception. The Marine Corps ASVAB enlistment requirement is a 32 on the AFQT portion of the test. The AFQT score is compiled from scores on the Word Knowledge, Paragraph Comprehension, Mathematics Knowledge, and Arithmetic Reasoning subtests and, unless you Score at least a 32, you won't qualify for enlistment in the Marine Corps. If you have a GED instead of a high school diploma the AFQT score requirement is 50 but the...

According to the Government, I am considered English and French bilingual and they think this because they issued me a certificate, which said so, upon completing High School. I hold inside a deep dark secret however...I'm not. Although I can communicate in French on a basic level, I struggle to structure a proper phrase or sentence in response to someone that speaks to me in that language, so I consider myself far from bilingual. I actually lost one of my first jobs years ago because it entailed speaking to native French people, and I just could not do it, even though I tried as best I could. As a result of losing this job, I moved to a place where French wasn't used as far as the eye could see, so...

Boot camps essentially training camps. The term 'boot camp' is derived from the grueling footwear that is provided to boot camp trainees in the military. Boot camps last for a couple of weeks and are specifically designed for special purposes. The original boot camps are military boot camps. All branches of the armed forces have boot camps including the army, marines, coast guard, navy and air force. Boot camps for the military train their recruits in physical strength, weapon use, technical and theoretical knowledge, comradeship, leadership and discipline among many other code value. The actual effect of boot camps is more mental than physical. Trainees are deprived of sleep, food and communication...

Have you ever met someone who signed up for the Marines, went to boot camp, only to fail & be sent home? I have. They are the most rejected, self-pitying, defeated & despicable individuals you'll ever set eyes on. When asked what happened at boot camp, most boot camp rejects will lie and make up a story about why they were sent home. Grab A Copy Click here That's exactly what I'm offering you. What exactly am I talking about? I'm talking about the mental/psychological stress you will encounter at boot camp.

Al Jazeera has stated that the Bush Administration ignored warnings of possible chaos going into Baghdad. Yet that simply is a copy of a headline in the New York Times, in which some top ranking Democrats are attempting to make some additional casting cattle calls. President Bush did not ignore the information, rather he took it duly into consideration. You must understand Saddam needed to be removed, that meant going in to get him, where he abandoned his army and hid for his life. In hindsight, it might appear that President Bush made the wrong decision, but in actuality it is the right one he chose. As we know Iran had made its commitment to stand down, in fact Iran wanted us to go in. Today Iran...

Looking for people that are associated with specific groups on the net is quite easy. Examples would be professionals, students and various interest groups. This article looks at the services that you can use to locate army personnel. Military personnel are one group of people that is quite easy to locate on the net. There are a number of finders that have been designed to cater for military personnel searches. If one had to come up with an army people finder review one would have to take a lot of things into consideration. Seeing as there are so many branches of the military one would have to consider locators that cover all the branches. The first place I would mention in my army people finder...

I was 18 years old in 1948, had graduated high school and could expect to be drafted for 2 years in the near future. Back then 18 and 19 year olds had an option other than waiting to be drafted. They could enlist in the army for one year, not two, and upon discharge from active duty spend six years in the active reserve. I exercised this option and became, as we were called then, a one year draft dodger. As a result I received a message which can best be explained by briefly recounting my seven year experience. My one year of active duty was pleasant enough. Reported to the army at their Whitehall Street enlistment center downtown New York City on August 13, 1948 and was bussed to Fort Dix, NJ. I...

The Veterans Administration (VA) was established for the purpose of providing men and women who have served in the armed forces with various benefits. They provide many federal benefits such as health care, burial benefits, financial benefits and home loan assistance. They have been helping veterans purchase homes since 1944. It is available to veterans, active duty personnel, and some members of the National Guard and the Army Reserve. The VA provides lending institutions with guarantees that loans made to veterans will be re-paid in full in the event of a default. These loans are available to veterans for primary residence dwellings. It is the law that a borrower live in in the property purchased...
