Ssg Arroa's Squad At Fort Indiantown Gap

“And now, under that fine leader Major C. Allanson, the 6th Gurkhas, of the 29th Indian Infantry Brigade, pressed up the sloped of Sari Bair, crowned the heights of the col between Chunak Bair and Hill Q. Not only did this Battalion reach the crest, but they began to attack down the far side of it, firing as they went at the fast retreating enemy.”

could not assault these positions due to foliage and inability to see the trench lines the enemy had

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was a segregated U.S. Army. They fought in World War II. It was made up of Japanese Americans that were from the Mainland and Hawaii. The men from Mainland thought that the Hawaiians didn’t speak English very well. There was a conflict between both groups and got sent to a detention camp. The 442nd learned about teamwork very fast. They decided they would complete every assignment that came their way. Frank Hachiya wrote a letter to his 8th grade teacher before he was killed. In addition, he talked about all his regrets in life and how he wasted most of his time. At his funeral, his teacher read the letter.

MG Shafter and MG Lawton believed that El Caney could be taken quickly, thus planned for the 2nd Division to take El Caney and then line up to the right of the Cavalry Division during the San Juan Hill assault. The assault on El Caney took longer than expected, and the 2nd Division lost about 960 of its total 6,600 men to injury or death. Therefore, MG Lawton’s 2nd Division was not able to support the assault on San Juan Hill. , ,

crowd of soldiers, situated by their artillery's burn and their surveillance balloon, came under Spanish fire. The major assault began at 1:00 P.M. The key to the attack on San Juan Hill by a U.S. infantry partition was the effectual flames of a series of three Gatling (machine) guns that brushed the peak and forced most of the Spanish protectors to flee as the infantry in some disorder protected the tallness (Robert, 1993, p. 74).

When the Civil War started in 1861 African-Americans offered their services to help fight, but were turned down by both the North and the South. Blacks were thinking that by offering their services they might get more respect and equality. Eventually, blacks got more established through the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and then the government started to create all black regiments. The establishment of the 54th Mass Regiment created social implications giving them hope, Trying to gain authority and the necessity of having Black troops fight.

General Lee used the storms that delayed the British attacks as time to build up the city’s defenses.6 General Lee was still unsure of where to establish a defense and eventually agreed with General William Moultrie and the American’s defense was placed solely on Fort Sullivan.7 This decision would prove to be the British’s undoing. During the attack on Fort Sullivan the British were unable to establish a ground offensive and also lost a quarter of their naval firepower to bring upon the Fort.8 The Fort’s position allowed for American domination over any shipping entering and exiting the port of Charleston and using their position the Americans poured deadly fire power down onto the British naval

The confederate army under the control of General Lee, was set up in various positions around the crest of the hill, to be able to drop a converging fires on the union batteries (Krick, 2014). The cross fire of the confederate batteries had failed of plan a course of attack. The confederate continued to fire at the union army. The orders issued by the confederate were misunderstood and bungled. The union under control of General Porter had set the main tempo of defense of the battle (Krick, 2014). The union only had room for approximately 30 to 35 cannons on the slender crest of the hill. With the union set up on the slender crest this left the confederates no cover when approaching the exposed hill. Every time the confederate’s infantry approached they were stopped and stalled off in front of the union’s wall of cannon defense (Krick, 2014). When the confederates would retreat after confronting the unions wall of cannon defense they would face a lot of friendly fire from the confederates cannon batteries (Krick, 2014). The confederates would periodically expel all its ammo of a six gun batteries; once depleted a ready team would fill in for replacement. The confederates finally found a new line to approach the hill on the western slope of the hill to be able to protect their route (Krick, 2014). With this new route the confederates would only be able to get

At the headquarters of the Louisiana National Guard, located in the lower 9th ward, the soldiers were not yet aware that the canal levees were giving way. The Guard’s commander

The George Rogers Clark National Historical Park is located in Vincennes, Indiana, on the banks of the Wabash River. A memorial stands on the site of Fort Sackville to honor the capture of the fort from British soldiers by Lieutenant Colonel George Rogers Clark and his men on February 25, 1779, one of the greatest feats of the American Revolutionary War. Clark's army, aided by French people of the Illinois country, had marched through freezing floodwaters to gain this victory. The fortes capture assured United States claims to the frontier, an area nearly as large as the original thirteen states.

Starvation, disease, and a harsh winter were all factors that the soldiers at Valley Forge felt. The soldiers at Valley Forge have a harsh life they live in a wooden hut in which twelve men sleep and there is not one single bed in the hut, they’re no windows or holes just one door and smoke gets in their and gives them ventilation. The french will start to join you in the war and most soldiers will survive. Would have you reinstated to stay in his army ? I’m going to renlist because we are not the nation's summer soldiers, The Congressional Committee supports us hope, and because ill and dead men can’t fight but, well man can.

The Americans fired back and advanced. The US left line was ordered back to secure the flank, and an 18-pound cannon dispersed the Mexican cavalry, which, in response, turned to the right, seemingly to threaten the flank or to attempt to take the supply train. The infantry sprang into action to make contact with the enemy cavalry, supported by the “Flying Artillery,” and was able to halt the immediate attack. During the cannon bombardment, a portion of the prairie caught fire and the smoke concealed the armies from each other. While waiting for the smoke to clear, the US 18-pound cannons had been moved forward to the road that the Mexican cavalry had once occupied. The Mexican Army also repositioned. After about an hour the smoke cleared, and the artillery commenced again. From its new position, the Americans created openings in the Mexican line of infantry. A squadron of dragoons were ordered to the left of the Mexican Army’s line but suffered from artillery fire as they moved forward. The US 4th Infantry was exposed to a significant barrage of cannon fire as they supported the two 18-pound cannons, and several men were killed or wounded. It was then that the Mexican cavalry began an advance on the right flank. As they got close, the infantry squared up a formation to interrupt their advance and a brisk fire of small arms began. The well-directed volley from the front of the line silenced all further firing from the cavalry. Frustrated, the Mexican Army began an attempt to flank the left of the US line. Bold and brilliant maneuvering of a battery quickly repulsed the enemy, who then retreated back to their original position. As a squadron of dragoons moved to assist the left flank, they gradually drove the Mexican Army back, and the enemy had a significant loss from the field. As night began to fall, the firing ceased and the Mexican Army fell back behind their positions and the

The next several Company’s and Battalions they came across they repeated what they had the first time, they were no worse or better than their first encounter and the last one. All that matter was that they surrendered, which they did. There was long line of Soldiers being taken back to Baltimore, and the Prisoner of War Camp that they had set up there. The 82nd sent more Soldiers forward to help out the Marines, the more that surrendered, the more Marines it took to guard them. This had an adverse effect, because it depleted the combat forces needed in the event one of the

The 137th New York Unit persistently defended the Culp’s Hill, deeply entrenched, with 750 Soldiers from other three corps of the Union. General Lee’s Confederates went after the hill and advanced about few hundred yards from Baltimore Park, a single supply line for the Army of the Potomac. (Reardon & Vossler, 2013) At ten o’clock in the evening, Colonel Rufus noticed the risk of Confederates occupying the hill and possibly distressing the supply line of Baltimore Pike, so he decided to move in and defend it with his survived men. If General Lee’s forces reached the supply lines of the Union, and disrupted the ammunition supply, General Meade’s Army would have no choice but to retreat, and this could have been favorable to the Confederates. (Scott & Scott, 2011)

The British failed to leave cavalry scouts assigned to the garrison to conduct daily patrols in the area and give reports of possible indicators in the area. Having only 48 men garrisoned at the fort was just enough to manage the fort, but not enough to get out and to talk with the people around the fort. There were no spare personnel to conduct atmospherics of the surrounding area; surveilling the population to see what their sentiment is towards the British troops in the area and their opinion of rebellion against the British Crown. The garrison commander also failed to keep operational security within his command. He gave details to Captain Phelps, a complete stranger, about whom he knew. By not using counterintelligence in the form of deception operations and misinformation, the garrison commander allowed the colonists to gather intelligence on the morale and fortifications of the garrison. With the information that the garrison expected reinforcements soon, Colonels Allen and Arnold, now had the motivation they needed to plan for an immediate attack on the garrison. As history would later show, the British perpetuated these failures throughout the war and never learned from their mistakes. One such example would be the battle of Yorktown where the British failed to use deceptions operations to fool General
