How World War II Helped Create The Modern U.S. Army
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 20 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network*
*History, Europe*
World War II changed the way the Army's combat units were organized and
shaped the future of America's armed forces.
*Here's What You Need to Remember: *As the course of the war became
clearer, a decision was made in early 1943 on the number of Army divisions
needed to win the war. It was called the “90-division gamble.” The
Philippine Division had surrendered in 1942. The 2nd Cavalry Division was
later to be deactivated, reducing the total of Army divisions to 89. The
last Army division was activated in August 1943 and deployed at the...
How Would China's Navy Fare In a War with the U.S.?

The Story of How the Aircraft Carrier Was Born

Several countries experimented with ways to launch aircraft off naval
vessels prior to World War I.
*Here's What You Need to Remember: *It would be the Langley and the Argus
that would take the first significant steps towards improving naval
aviation. The interwar period would facilitate a technological arms race
over carrier development, setting the stage for carriers as an offensive
weapon and their tactical domination in World War II.
In 1898, Samuel P. Langley’s first flying prototype sparked interest from

Amphibious Assault Ships Can Do What Aircraft Carriers Can’t
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 20 minutes ago
*Peter Suciu*
*Aircraft Carriers, *
With its long flight deck and the ability for aircraft to take off and
land, it would be easy to think that vessels such as the USS
America (LHA-6) are “aircraft carriers.”
*Here's What You Need To Remember: *However, while these warships are
similar – similar doesn't mean the same. There are jobs that only a carrier
can do, and there are jobs that the LHA can do. That is why both will
likely remain floating runways for the foreseeable future and likely beyond.
