exploited by the enemy. The Algerian-French-Morocco Campaign specifically Operation Torch is by far one of the most forgotten and rarely talked about operations during World War II (WW2). Operation Torch paved the way for a multi-national amphibious landing in Northern Africa, opening up a second front in the west giving Soviet Union Troops relief on the eastern front. The Algerian-French-Morocco Campaign became a massive testing ground for tactics, techniques and procedures that resulted in future successes

What is a true success? What is a true failure? But how about if I told you that you can have both? It might strike as being complete nonsense, but presuppose me when I say life is full of adventure, mysteries, and contemporary things to learn from. Professionals always need to expect the unexpected. Mindset is a very extensive thing in life, and when used properly, it can be a massive advantage in your goal. To display my claim, I am going to be articulating about a special event that is, in my

there was an explosion in the second oxygen tank in the service module. This explosion caused the first tank to rupture a valve. Apollo 13 spacecraft began to lose oxygen rapidly. The loss of oxygen lead to rapid loss of power and water. Astronauts Lovell, Haise, and Swigert concerns were now, how are we going to get back to Earth?. Key Terms Fra Mauro: Crater (area) on the moon that Apollo 13 was going to land on and explore. Lunar Module (LM): A small craft used for traveling between the moon's surface

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

the landing beaches, Yellow and Blue, enemy fire was so fierce the engineers supporting the infantry were pinned down and unable to proceed with their missions. However, engineers were able to land at Green and Red beaches, but were limited in their efforts to prepare the beaches for the artillery and armor because the heavy enemy fire either sank or scattered their equipment, and the mine-clearing and constructions units were spread out and unable to form a cohesive team. When German tanks appeared

This creation was code-named Operation Fortitude. Headed by General George Patton, the large phantom army trained for what the Germans thought would be an attack on Pas de Calais. The fake army was made up of rubber tanks, plywood aircraft, canvas ships, and dummy soldiers. A lot of visual effects when into fooling the Germans. However, Operation Fortitude went beyond what the eye could see. The phantom army would leak false information in order to further deceive the

The Wright Brothers –Inventing the First Plane Wilbur Wright was born on April 16, 1867 in Millville, Indiana and Orville Wright was born on August 19, 1871 in Dayton, Ohio to Milton Wright and Susan Catherine Koerner. They had two older brothers, Reuchlin and Lorin, and a younger sister Katharine who happened to share a birthday with Wilbur. Their father was a minister, in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, and spent a lot of time traveling for the church. During one of his trips

General Dwight D. Eisenhower had stated, “Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the

finish "softening" it up. Thousands of men were sent at once in over 500 landing craft in 10 waves. They had no idea about what they were to face. They approached the 3,000 yards beach nearly untouched, but suddenly a shower of shells, mortars, and bullets flew by them while taking hundreds of lives. Chaos struck and the Marines were anxious to get to shore and dig their foxholes. They arrived at the beaches in 7 different landing zones. On the first day, 30,000 men arrived at the beach with over 40

communication,usually armies have trouble coordinating and so can be defeated. Second, Allied paratroopers fought desperate battles inland in order to secure bridges and roads that reinforcements needed to use.(Isserman, 1). Allied forces utilized trucks and tanks in order to quickly move troops. We needed bridges and roads secured and controlled in order to get troops inland. D-Day allowed this to happen. D-Day allowed the Allied coalition to capture
