Military Technology Research Paper

In a 2015 article, “Is U.S. military becoming outdated?” written by Stuart Bradin, Keenan Yoho, and Meaghan Keeler-Pettigrew, the authors argued that despite the U.S. military maintaining a position of global dominance “without peer” during conventional operations, it is not the ideal force against current and future threats. The authors claim that there are several negative factors arising due to the past sixteen years of war against several state and non-state elements, inferior cultural differences of government bureaucracy compared to commercial firms, and a misallocation of defense spending that leaves the US military waging war inefficiently while simultaneously losing technological dominance against current and future threats.

The history of force reductions after the Cold War era and Operation Desert Storm proves the reliance on contract support to America’s fighting force was important to accomplish the mission. (CGSC, 2015). The Army should maintain its level of contract support relative to the current budget constraints and force reductions. Contract support with oversight from Army Material Command is a force multiplier but will require several mitigation measures in order to be effective in future campaigns.

As rivals such as China catch up or steal our weapons technology, America must advance even further in order to remain at the top. With warfare being redefined concluding the war in Afghanistan it is evident that America must improve its ground warfare technology in order to better combat the guerrillas found in the war on terror. Further developing weapons such as the airburst grenade launching system, the XM25, would help minimize American casualties and would create another advantage over the enemy. Other weapons such as the LRAD laser system or the THAAD could stop threats miles before the American coastline, as well as create threats to enemy vessels. New aircraft carriers could launch stealth planes or drones behind enemy lines, completely silently in the dark of night. The advantages to further research and development are endless in number. The main contributor to America’s current status as world's strongest military, our technology gives us an advantage and should Trump want to pursue a more robust military, an upgrade in weapons technology should be at the top of the list.

The position of president is the highest office in the nation. Many people believe in order to be president the person filling the office should have military experience. Since the 1992 the candidate that has won has had no military experience but prior to this year the majority of presidents had military experience. The public does not require their presidential candidates to have military experience and in the last few decades have elected presidents with no military experience despite the fact the country has been embroiled in the War on Terror. Presidents should be required to serve time in the military before running for this office.

Technology skyrocketed during and after The Great War. The war gave people new ideas to create and use technology for the military. “Virtually all military advances since 1918 have been incremental technical improvements to the efficiency of the conceptual model of the Modern Style of Warfare.”(3) Technology that was improved was a vast arrangement of different kinds of weapons, for example the flamethrower, machine guns, and rifles, new military uniforms, new automobiles, and the introduction of two crucial war machines, the tank and the airplane, which changed the field of battle and forever forcing countries to develop new strategies on military tactics. As a result of this, the US gained much

The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary of an Army white paper, the “Profession of Arms.” The U.S. Army should be “The Profession of Arms” and each soldier should be “The Professional Soldier.” (U.S. Army, 2010). It is important for “The Profession of Arms” to develop expertise, trust, development values, and service at the organizational level (U.S. Army, 2010) l. Also, it is crucial for “The Professional Soldier” to develop skill, trust, leadership, character, and duty at the individual level (U.S. Army, 2010). So, the “Profession of Arms” is comprised of experts and experienced soldiers who dedicate their lives to defend the U.S. Constitution and the American way of life (U.S. Army, 2010).

Military Technology In World War 2 Advanced military technology during ww2 was ultimately a key to victory for the allied forces. “It is often said that few things advance technology and innovation as quickly as war. World War II was no different as each side worked tirelessly to develop more advanced and powerful weapons”. The M-1 Garand, a semi- automatic rifle that could pump out bullets with a far higher rate of fire.

It is relatively easy to become a manufacturing technician after military service because most veterans are already trained with the skills needed for many manufacturing positions. The manufacturing industry continues to struggle to find skilled workers, so veteran with technical training will be able to find employment.

One can make a few objective observations about this industry. Many technologies spurned from their original purposes provide a standard of living never achieved before. The high stakes of the defense industry drive innovation higher and faster than anything else in human history. These great achievements come at a great cost though. The introduction of new technology into the wars of the early 20th century caused loss of life on a scale never before seen. On the contrary, new technology has also transformed how we fight wars and steadily decreased casualties.

The first B-29s arrived at Allied airfields in India and China in April 1944. Originally, the Bomber Command was to fly from India, B-29s first saw combat on June 5, 1944, when 98 planes struck Bangkok. The bomber was use for combat but the biggest thing it was made for was to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In this paper I will talk about how and why people are so controversial over a historical exhibit.

Is the Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Corps (Enlisted force) talent accurately managed throughout the ranks in order to sustain force readiness? During many years, the Army has continuously fulfilled analysis (studies) of the force to establish and improve management guidance over different initiatives, policies, and regulations in order to effectively organize the use of manpower. Conversely, the management of the NCO force has not been acceptably enforced and/or managed within the Army National Guard in order to meet the Army’s intent (Objective) on NCO Force management. Due to the Army National Guard’s force structure is limited in authorized positions within their

Earth is fragmented with the idea of nations. Though fasted communication networks have made the world smaller, borderless world seems a distant dream. Each nation in the world possesses fancy military weapons, whole big chunk of uniformed soldiers in the name of self defense. Yes, there are always pros and cons associated with the military. At the time of natural disasters, military is the one who lends helping hand much faster. But sometimes brutality of the military while evading the other nation cannot be overlooked. United States of America (USA) considered as the mighty nation in the world possess biggest military in the world. Any international dispute, international terrorism, US military does not stay behind

Former US representative, Our nation's military and law enforcement personnel work hard to protect us. We must thank them for their continued vigilance. Without their sacrifice we would less capable of protecting our nation. when I was little I was never really sure what i wanted to be in life. Growing up I learned about some of my family was military, so I decided i wanted to serve my country proudly. Also I like the fact that we can conduct vehicle searches, open areas, and buildings so I can say I like the travel. The career of a Military MP is a interesting and challenging career because i could get the chance to help save lives, and serve my country.

There is something about an old man sitting in his rocking chair sharing stories that sparks just about anyone’s interest. It just so happens that man was my grandfather, telling stories about his experiences serving in the military, I couldn’t help but sit and listen in fascination. He had so much to say; from how he had two pet monkeys during the war, learning how to ask for tea from a Vietnamese man, to desperately trying to sleep through the haunting visions of dead bodies he had seen in combat. My grandfather is a strong man, but even so, he still needs help in some aspects of life after serving in the military. He began to tell me about his trips to the Department of Veteran Affairs Clinic and the medical support he received. He said to me, “Now baby girl, Lord knows I am thankful for the aid government offers, but I sure wish some things were different. Not just for me, but the Veterans out there that need more than I do.” This was something that really made me think about what our government does offer and how it effects our citizens. Some would argue that we have ample support opportunities and the government is offering all that is needed, while others would argue there is not enough aid and the government is not, in fact, doing everything they can to help the men and women who have served our country.

“History does not teach that better technology necessarily leads to victory. Rather victory goes to the commander who uses technology better, or who can deny the enemy his technology.”
