MODERN WARFARE. “To secure peace is to prepare for war” said Carl Von Clausewitz. This means if a nation is well armed, other nations will be wary of attacking it and hence peace will be preserved. Many governments do not like to be engaged in warfare or receive their soldiers in a black bag. Many families would prefer loved ones alive and not dead after a war. Even so, all countries in the world take actions to prepare their military forces to be ready in case they are needed. In recent wars, the use of technology has been one of the most important means to obtain the advantage over the enemy. Therefore, electronic warfare, as part of modern warfare, has become not only a concept but an effective tool to reinforce combatant soldiers on the ground. The control of the electromagnetic spectrum has now a significant role in military forces having an advantage over the enemy. Electronic attack, electronic protection and electronic warfare support are elements of electronic warfare.
An electronic attack is the employment of energy to localize, interfere and destroy enemy assets, Department of the Army (2009). New weapons usually demand the use of a small segment of the electromagnetic spectrum, that is called “the frequency” at which every weapon works. If the frequency of a particular weapon (radar, radios, air defense batteries, etc.) is localized, then that particular weapon can be intercepted and destroyed. The more enemy weapons
crime. On January 9, 2014 a homicide investigation started when a body was discovered and an area off of road 1210 in Park County, Wyo. But this was not just a regular homicide. This homicide was different that any homicide that any of the law enforcement have ever dealt with in Park County Wyoming. (Cody/Powell)
The missile system reduced Scud annoyance and effectiveness. Patriot’s mission to counteract air born threats was an overall success. This war was a major demonstration of U.S. air defense capability. Although every fire did not successfully destroy its target, it exemplified extraordinary accuracy. The Patriot world is continuously evolving. Modifications to the software has been made, and today’s system has multiple intercept mechanisms. PAC 2 in no longer the only source of air defense capability. The PAC 3, a more sophisticated missile defense system, has a more accurate interception rate. A growing technology, and it will continue to expand in the future, air defense is here to
Juan Nepomuceno Cortina was a man who was a rebel and a soldier who fought many battles that he believed was right for Mexicans in Texas and in Mexico. He took part of the Cortina Wars, where he fought Anglo or white Americans by stealing from them after how they treated Mexicans in Texas. He even took part of the War when Mexico went against the French invasion with Emperor Maximiliam, and he even helped out the Union in the American Civil war around that year. Cortina was on top of the in ranks and became Governor of Tamaulipas in Mexico. This man had many battles that he has faced in many years of violence he seen in wars and even during his own childhood. He would be known to many Mexicans as a folk hero and has Cheno Cortina, which was
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was born in Jalapa, Veracruz Mexico, on February 21, 1794. He belongs to a “criollo” middle class family. His parents were from Spain. He was a Mexican politician and military leader who was President of Mexico eleven times from 1833 to 1855. He was president officially six times, and unofficially five more. He was also a disastrous president of Mexico because he lost Texas and much more of the current American west in the United States. However, by far he was an important figure of his generation in the Mexican history. Many people love him during his first years of president, and he was remembered for two major conflicts, the Battle of the Alamo in 1836 during the Texas Revolution, and as a restored Mexican leader during the Mexican-American War in 1847 (tshaonline.org).
“The history of more than fifty million Latinos in the United States is your history too,” Suarez stated in his book. His argument was that no matter how you see it, the Latin culture is part of your life in the US no matter what ethnicity you are. He wrote this book to let his readers learn and know about the Latino history in the territories, where it is now considered as California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. Suarez wants his readers to know that the Spanish culture has been in those areas ever since the people of Mexico City traveled North in search for gold. He reveals this by stating that the first language heard in those territories was Spanish and the earliest land titles were granted to Spanish families (Suarez). Some Americans may not believe the fact about Spain owning part of the land; however, there is evidence that supports that fact. There are literally signs around California, Texas, and etc. that demonstrates the Spanish language. Suarez states that “more Americans unwittingly speak Spanish every day, heading into a Luby’s luncheonette in El Paso, ‘the pass,’ sitting in traffic in San Diego, ‘Saint James’...” (Suarez).
Born Francisco Gonzalez Pizarro to Gonzalo Pizarro and Francisca Gonzalez, Pizarro was an illegitimate son in a society that canonised breeding. He was abandoned by his father, a poor infantry colonel, and grew up in the poverty-stricken Trujillo, Spain. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but he is thought to to have been born some time between 1470 and 1471. Pizarro was given little or no education, and he remained illiterate throughout his life. His mother, Francisca Gonzalez, married later in life, and gave birth to Pizarro’s half-brother, Francisco Martín de Alcántara. Alcantara would later accompany Pizarro on his conquest of Peru.
With the recent presidential change the U.S. immigration policies and effectiveness are being spotlighted. One of the rather tough issues is how to handle current illegal immigrants and how to put an end to illegal immigration (Schaefer, 2015). Immigrants that come to the United States are looking for the American dream or just for a better life for themselves or their families. Although, the stigma society insinuates is that of all immigrants bring terrorism, drug problems, and employment with them (Schaefer, 2015). Since the problems have been linked to immigrants, Americans have developed a prejudice towards people of Hispanic and Asian descent. Due to this prejudice towards immigrants both illegal and legal immigrants struggle to find employment (Schaefer, 2015).
The book covers the perils of microwave weapon with its sophisticated technology using the nervous system with a reach of all the bodily functions is well beyond any one’s imagination. Some part of this article is from the book for
In today’s digital age, development of new technology and weapons are at an alarming rate, hence arises the need to stay ahead of advancements in order to properly defend the nation, as well as coalition forces and allies. In this period of warfare, the number one threat comes in the form of air breathing and ballistic missiles. During World War II, this threat was present, but was not thought to be prevalent.
Dinaw Mengestu, Richard Rodriguez and Manuel Munoz are three authors that have been through and gone through a lot of pain to finaly get accepted in their societies. They are all either immigrants or children of immigrants that had trouble fitting in America’s society at the time. They struggled with language and their identities, beucase they were not original from the states and it was difficult for others to accept them for who they are. They all treated their problems differently an some tried to forget their old identeties and live as regulalr Americans others accepted themselves for being who they are, but they all found a way to deal with their issues.
Jose Antonio Burciaga elaborates in his essay “Tortillas” the significant of tortillas in his life and culture. In the Mexican culture tortilla becomes a big part of the Mexican food. The tortillas for Burciaga had a great impact on his stages of life which not only enjoying it at his plate but to his career as well. He narrates his childhood and historical events of the tortilla. He begins by remembering the times with his family, being scolded by his mother for playing with the tortilla.
Project Abstract: The following is a discussion of the application of Army Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities which are employed in order to enhance the targeting and effects of the Ar-my’s Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) Sections. The aim is to address how the assimila-tion of assets, programs, and capabilities currently available to the Army SIGINT Community by the Army CEMA Sections could significantly enhance their ability to conduct and execute the war-time mission, thereby enhancing the commanders’ understanding of the enemy’s tactical use of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). This, in effect, would also reduce the time invested in acquiring EMS specific information and increase the precision and execution of Electronic Attack (EA), Elec-tronic Protect (EP), and Electronic Warfare Support (ES) by strengthening and

For thousands of years warfare remained relatively unchanged. While the tactics and weapons have changed as new methods of combat evolved, men and women or their weapons still had to meet at the same time and place in order to attack, defend, surrender or conquer. However, the advent of the of the internet has created a new realm of combat in which armies can remotely conduct surveillance, reconnaissance, espionage, and attacks from an ambiguous and space-less digital environment. Both state and non-state actors have already embraced this new realm and utilized both legal and illegal means to further facilitate their interests. What complicates cyber security further is as states attempt to protect themselves from cyber-warfare, private
As the future of warfare becomes more sophisticated, what will be the military technology of tomorrow? The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, believes that there are three possible answers to that question: nuclear warfare, biological/chemical warfare, or cyber warfare. While nuclear and biological warfare is conducted on a battlefield, cyber warfare operates via the Internet and computers. All of these weapons have the same destructive potential, but the circumstances surrounding
