He based the decision on troops and companies within the brigade fully integrating different aircraft, pilots, maintainers, and

The battle that won American Independence While researching skirmishes and major battles throughout the Revolutionary War to find an artillery battle that exemplifies what we do as Field Artillery there was one battle that stuck out. There was no battle more glorious or more significant in shaping our great nation than the battle of Yorktown.
