Another change occurred, in that armies changed from being mercenary based to kingdoms establishing their own standing armies. As a result, professional soldiers emerged which only continued to elevate the common soldier’s status in society. This occurred for a few reasons. Before arquebuses, a state maintaining a standing army was incredibly dangerous and expensive to handle. A standing army under a commander was mechanically difficult to manage while standing bowmen, as stated before, required
Abstract In the Army today, we have dealt with many difficult complex challenges that put our nation in a difficult situation with the rest of the world and our troops. As American soldiers we are accountable for meeting certain standards and expectations in most of every mission we are given to accomplish.

To me he couldn’t be more right. For the Virginia Military Institute to still be one of the biggest military institutes in the country and one of the most prominent for the men they mold and bring out to have to change its ways because they need more equality there just is ridiculous to me. Men and women do go together but you make a choice when you go to that institute to make yourself better and your country if that involved women fine but some might feel differently and they used to have a place

IV. American Military Culture The American Army 's history, composition, and structure predisposed the leadership to a rigid fixation on conventional warfare. In contrast to the British army-as-force-projection model, the American Army found its first task a matter of national survival. This historical trend - the continued perception of the Army fighting a war of annihilation - helped in many ways to keep the Army purely focused on its military objectives. Unconditional surrender was the name
