Argumentative Essay: Success of American Forces
Abstract
American military forces were successful during both the American Revolutionary War and the Boxer Rebellion of China. The American military forces set strategic goals and attained those goals in both conflicts. They were successful due to their flexibility and adaptability on the battlefield; their light and noise discipline and diversionary tactics enabling them to attack with the element of surprise; their use of joint and allied military forces; and their employment and transition to new battlefield tactics. Though these conflicts took place over one hundred and two hundred years ago, we, the modern military forces of America, can gain insights that are applicable in todays Global War on Terrorism.
