paradigm shift towards unconventional warfare, the effectiveness of aerial combat missions such as air-to-air combat and strategic bombing are somewhat nullified as opposing forces on the ground or objectives are generally covert and not well-defined. Despite this, the role of airpower should not be seen as a lower priority as the élan of true combat ability arises from providing close air support to the ground troops. CAS is the quick reflection of aircraft’s firepower in contribution to the battle

Respiration and Circulation Name Description and function Nasal cavities The nasal cavity is an air filled space found behind the nose. Air is breathed in through the nose, which is divided by the septum to form the nostrils. The septum is mainly made of cartilage. Within the nose there are small hair like structures called cilia, which stop foreign particles from being inhaled by filtering them out of the air before it continues through the system. The nose contains mucous membranes which produce a substance

The US’ fear of Cuba being a hub for the Soviet Union to insert communist agents and sympathizers triggered the planning phase to invade Cuba. The US viewed the Cuban revolution as a threat to national security with communism so close to US Soil. Fear spread across the US through local

At 0300 CEF northern outpost come under heavy attacks from Cuban forces complemented by tanks, by 0730 CEF forces withdraw to Blue Beach. Simultaneously, at 0400 Cuban forces begin to target CEF location with artillery fire that continues throughout the day. Elsewhere at 0730, CEF forces on Red Beach withdraw to Blue Beach due to lack of air support, following a short

Allied land component integration struggles hindered operational progression throughout the Sicilian Campaign. Initial planning and operations for Sicily revealed, General Alexander’s lack of experience and effective leadership resulting in granting General’s Montgomery and Patton too much latitude in operational decision-making. [Swanson, p. 58] In essence, General Alexander’s lack of command guidance and restructuring Allied land force boundaries allowed the General Patton to divert forces toward
