Depending on the particular rank of Rear Admiral (Rear Admiral or Rear Admiral(lower half) the abbreviations are:

Rear Admiral - RADM (O-8)

In October 1965 I used a M1 Grand in Basic at Lackland it was left over from the Korean war. All the new AR15's were going to Nam.

Yes. There are women who are jump qualified and on active jump status. They just can't serve in an occupation which is closed to females (e.g., infantry, artillery, et al.). However, a division is composed of both combat and support units, which leaves plenty of openings in which females can serve.

During the Vietnam War there were the following classifications: Class 1, 2, 3, and 4. 1-A, 1-A-O, 1-C, 1-D, 1-H, 1-O, and 1-W. 2-A, 2-C, 2-D, and 2-S. 3-A. 4-A, 4-B, 4-C, 4-D, 4-F, 4-G, and 4-W. 1-A meant the man was available for military service. 1-W meant he was a Conscientious Objector. 4-F meant the man was unfit for military service.

The 54th Massachusetts did not attack alone, there were several other regiments in its brigade also involved.

The attackers briefly gained possession of a small portion of the Fort, but were then ejected, so the attack failed.

The Yankees never did capture the Fort. As time went on more Yankees arrived in the Charleston area and joined the campaign to capture that city. The complicated system of rivers and islands around Charleston was dotted with earthwork forts, like Wagner, and artillery batteries. Eventually the Yankees got into positions where Fort Wagner was becoming very isolated and exposed, so its Confederate defenders blew it up one night and escaped in the darkness to Charleston.

The first Major General that commanded the British was Issac Brock a brave general who lived at England and then settled to Niagara on the Lake because of the war.

Four - Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, and General, with one, two, three, and four stars, respectively. General of the Army - the five star rank - is a special rank not used in peacetime.

The German Army's plan to win the war was the Schiefflen Plan. The plan was to hold off Russia in the east and attack France through Belgium with the bulk of the forces. Within a few weeks of the commencement of the war several million men faced off against each other on the Western Front. The German Army got within sight of Paris only to be repelled at the Battle of the Marne. The German command realizing that plan was not working retreated to higher ground along the Aisne river. Then began what is often referred to as the "Race to the Sea", but was really an attempt by the armies to outflank each other. The armies continued this process until there was no flank only the North Sea. As a result the battle front became static from the North Sea to the Swiss Alps. Both sides, but particularly the Germans, then began to "dig in" creating defensive postions which became more elaborate as the war went on.

I believe that England's army was a lot bigger than the colonies over all. At first though there was only a small portion of the England's army in the colonies they were fighting all over the world. You also have to think that England's army was well-trained and knew what they were doing, while most of the colonials were just normal men who wanted freedom. I am not sure though the exact numbers of the two armies, try a google search!

One day after the December 7th, 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the U.S. Congress voted to declare war on Japan. Two days afterwards war was declared on the U.S. by the Germans who were allies with Japan. So the U.S. involuntarily joined the European Allies because war was declared upon them.

Like ALL civilain people caught up in a war, they were just trying to survive. E.g. where was their next meal going to come from? Would their home be there later in the evening, or maybe tomorrow? Would some allied tank come crashing through their village during the night? Or maybe next week? Would aircraft suddenly attack their town? If so, when? When would authorities come to their homes and tell them it's time to evacuate AGAIN (relocate)? Will the farmers crops be patrolled again by armored vehicles? If so, it's time to start plowing another field to replace it (armored vehicles WILL chew up plowed fields).

A brigadier general is a one-star general. There are several brigadier generals in the U.S. Army.

sandbags were used to absorb the shock from bombs, projectiles and bullets.

Also - Sandbags were used to increase the efective height of the trench walls by using the soil from the trench to fill the sand bags and then stacking the bags on the lip of the trench like building blocks. This reuced the physical effort of trench digging as you would only need to dig half the required depth and then build up the sanbags for the other half.<br><br>Small gaps would be left so that the enemy positions could be observed safely without being seen.<br>

The odds are that your father's PERSONNEL records were destroyed in a fire at the Military Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO, July 1973. But your father's Discharge Documents are invaluable toward accurate, historic research for facts.

The Commander-in-Chief is in charge of the Army, Navy, Air Force, & Marines and he/she decides where troops are stationed in order to protect the U.S.'s best interests.

In August, 1964, President Johnson reported to the nation that American ships had been attacked by North Vietnam gunboats in the Gulf of Tonkin, in international waters. The Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution giving the President the power to use whatever force necessary to protect our interests in the area. At the time, the truth was not reported. > http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2261 In February, 1965, the Viet Cong attacked an American military base near Pleiku. Using the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, President Johnson sent in 3,500 Marines, the first official troops, to South Vietnam. By the end of the year, there were 200,000 US troops in Vietnam.

During the Vietnam War, US Marine's were still authorized limited issues of Kabar fixed blade combat knives, originally issued during WWII. All US Marine & US Army Infantrymen (Grunts) were, in the beginning of the war, issued bayonets for their M-14 rifles, and M-16 rifles.

a great many. technical, medical, administrative, drivers, supply and many other positions, freeing men for field duty............

As it turns out we were involved in Viet Nam much sooner than many thought.

President Eisenhower was the first to put our military personnel in Viet Nam in the late nineteen fifties. We were there until Nixon finally called it quits in the early nineteen seventies.

Many believe that we were drawn into the Viet Nam conflict because of an attack by North Viet Nam on a US American ship in the Gulf of Tonken when John Kennedy was President.

This attack did not occur according to a later confession by General Westmorland however it was considered necessary to lead the US American public to believe we needed to enter that conflict.

you'll have no idea, because the boats they're on doesn't have anything like radio navigation. they dunno where they are going to, all they wish is to get to a safe country. on these boats, u might want to go to china but went to India instead, you never know
