The United States would enter the Vietnam War, in which the tactics of the enemy would not be familiar to them. Guerilla warfare became a problem for the allied forces and then the US would introduce aircraft into the war. The role of airpower changed operations for the US and showed their air supremacy.

could help America and other countries in many ways. Also the countries can use space to create new armies. “A 2015 US congressional report explained how “for China’s military, the use of space power can facilitate long-range strikes, guide munitions with precision, improve connectivity, and lead to greater jointness across its armed forces” (Mansharamani).

Chapter II, Renunciation of War, contains the famous peace clause, Article 9. Article 9 states, “Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of

The United States, throughout the course of its history, has attempted to steady the dynamic global climate in eras of strategic change.
