How does the corps help prepare people who live in the basin for floods?
I am not sure which corps you are asking about, nor which basin. Perhaps you are asking about the Army Corps of Engineers, who have designed a number of projects to improve the flow of water and make sure optimum levels are maintained. There is a well-known tidal basin in Washington DC that they helped to construct, along the Potomac River. The Army Corps of Engineers is also known for their work maintaining and improving dams and canals, and they are involved with flood protection as well. (It should be noted that during Hurricane Katrina, the quality of their work was called into question, but historically, they have had a good reputation.) As for floods, there have been a number of occasions when flooding occurred around the Tidal Basin in Washington DC. In most of these cases, it was the result of a hurricane. But it is usually not the Army Corps that helps to prepare people for an impending weather crisis. Generally, each major city has its own disaster preparedness plans, often administered by the state's governor and appropriate civil defense agencies; there are also other organizations like the National Guard who might be called in. But in a serious flooding emergency, the Army Corps might be called upon to help shore up a damaged levee or canal.
Was there a 75th division Army in the Vietnam War?
Not a conventional US Army division. But the US Army's 75th Rangers were in South Vietnam. The 75th had "Ranger" companies strung out in each MR (Military Region I, II, III, and IV/also called I Corps, II Corps, etc.). For example P company (called Papa 75th Rangers) were in I Corps. Kilo 75th (K company) may have been in either II or III Corps, etc.
What year was the first air craft used by the air force?
The official day the United States Air Corps separated from the Army would be the year, 1947. The Air Corps had been flying with the army since flight was available to the U.S. Army and when they officially separated from the Army on September 18, 1947 the Air Corps would become the Air Force. I'd bet a million dollars the Air Force flew a plane on that day.
What was a major defect of the Army of Virginia in 1862?
The creation and organization of a new army out of remnants or other armies is always problematic. When the Army of Virginia was first put together, Union General John Pope was given three main corps that had never operated together. And there were issues of morale. All three corps had been harassed and beaten by Stonewall Jackson earlier in the year. Added to this were the corps received from the dissembled Army of the Potomac.
Where did marine corps originate?
The US Marine Corps originated when the US Army needed people to guard their warships. Other Marine Corps have been around since warships were first built. Navies didn't have troops, the guards were considered Marines.
