US Army

The US President is the Commander and Chief of all US military forces.

You can get out of it up until the time you raise your hand and are sworn in. After that, you cannot get out of it unless they want to let you out.

Bart Weisman has stated in interviews that he was the youngest technical sergeant in the Air Force when he served, however, there is no official record kept for the youngest ever to serve in this capacity. Weisman is now a jazz musician.

Baron

It should be noted also that:

In Scotland, a Baron is called a Lord of Parliament

There are five categories of British peerage and they have a hierarchy themselves:

1. Peerage of England

2. Peerage of Scotland

3. Peerage of Ireland

4. Peerage of Great Britain

5. Peerage of United Kingdom

Also peerages are ranked based on creation date.

Therefore a Baron of the United Kingdom is a lower grade than a Baron of England, and the lower of two Baronies of the United Kingdom would be the one created most recently.

Hope that edit helps!

G.I. or G.I. Joe

G.I. stands for Government Issue

Or in the British Army:

Tommy after Thomas Atkins, the specimen name given on the signing up documents

Wrong, G.I. stands for General Infantry. Joe from the term 'average Joe'. Hence G.I. Joe.

If you mean where to buy them, then you can do so at a Military Surplus store, or more likely on a Military (preferably Army) Base, in the Clothing and Sales store. They have pretty much any award you might be trying to find.

If you are trying to find out what medals you are entitled to, the first place to look would be your DD214, your discharge papers. It should list all of the awards you have been given.

RAF Army Cooperation Command was created in 1940.

That decoration is only allowed for those on duty with the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments. If you earned it, you wear it and if your unit won it, you wear it while serving in that unit.

In WW1 and WW2 and Korea the U.S army used the M1903 Springfield in .30-06 (7.62x63). In Vietnam and today the U.S army uses the Remington 700 in .308 (7.62x51) known to the military as the M24. In this ongoing war the U.S army and Marines are using the M24, M14 in sniperised versions like the M21, M25, DMR, M39 and MK14. They also use designated marksmen versions of the M16. They also use large caliber rifles like the M82, M107 and special operations use the RC-50 and the AS-50. They also use the M86 in limited quantity.

If you mean the 27th Infantry Regiment, their nickname is the "Wolfhounds". The shoulder patch is a black rectangle, short sides being the top and bottom, black with a large dog's head (a wolf hound) in profile, looking left. The dog's head, the border of the rectangle, and the regimental motto below the dog's head are in yellow. The motto is "nec aspera terrant" (Fear no Difficulties, often said to be No Earthly Fear). The Regiment picked up the nickname while serving in the "Polar Bear Brigade" in Siberia just after WWI, for its relentless pursuit of the Bolsheviks.

If you mean the 27th Infantry Division its a khaki-bordered circle with a red circle inside, and within the red circle are the letters "NY" worked into a monogram (for the divisions basis as the New York National Guard), and also within the red circle are stars representing the constellation Orion.

There assualt rifles were a mixture of- 7.62mm Belgian FN FAL's, 9mm Israeli Uzi's and captured 7.62mm Russian AK-47's.

There machineguns were: American .50 cal HMG, Belgian 7.62 FN MAG.

There Anti-Armor weapons were: American Bazookas, Captured Russian RPG-7's Captured Russian AT-3 Maltyuka (sagger) missles, American LAW missles.

Technically it's just a Colonel; there is no equivalent rank in the U.S. Army, as "Commodore" in the Navy isn't an actual rank.

The rank of Commodore in the U.S. Navy is an honorary title, given to a Senior Captain who is typically a Squadron Commander (e.g., Submarine or Destroyer Squadron), often commanding units that have Captains or Commanders as CO's.

No. No Warrant Officer is a field grade officer.

Actually a CW4 receives the same priviledges as a field grade officer. My husband is a CW4 and when applying for on post housing, we can not be placed in company grade house, it must be field grade. It is the same for w4 and w5.

The US 36th Infantry Division (in peacetime the Texas-Oklahoma National Guard) was one of the three very experienced veteran divisions to hit the beach in the "second D-Day", on August 15, 1944. These landings were on the Riviera, the Mediterranean coast of France. It had been intended to make these landings at the same time as the troops went ashore in Normandy, June 6, but the Anzio campaign in Italy took too long to finish. All three of the Divisions which landed in southern France August 15 were fresh from Anzio and the capture of Rome.

With these Operation Dragoon landings the Allied line in western Europe, from north to south, was the British 21st Army Group in the North (British 2nd Army, Canadian 1st Army); the US 12th Army Group in the center (US 9th Army, US 1st Army, US 3rd Army); and now ashore in the south the US 6th Army Group (US 7th Army, French 1st Army). When the northern Ardennes Offensive ("Battle of the Bulge") came in December, the attack fell at the juntion of the US 9th and 1st Armies. At that time the 36th ID was part of VI Corps of the US 7th Army. It had been in VI Corps since the landings in August. During the month the Bulge went on the 36th ID was moved to the XXI Corps and then the XV Corps, all still a part of the US 7th Army, the southernmost US Army in the line.

The 7th Army had fought its way through the Vosges Mountains in the autumn of 1944. These mountains had never been crossed in all recorded European history by any army faced with resistance, and had never been been crossed in wintertime by any army, even unopposed. It was a region of steep mountains and few roads, a brutal, grinding campaign for the high ground overlooking one flyspeck village after another, a struggle for the rare crossroads. It was the coldest winter in Europe in one hundred years. The German 19th Army was on the other side. Finally the 7th Army had emerged on the Rhine Plain in early December.

Few remember today that the German plan for the Ardennes Offensive was actually a two-pronged attack. There was the main, massive assault in the north, but also a smaller attack in the south, the goal of which was to prevent the detaching of reinforcements for the north from the south. This southern German attack was Operation Nordwind. It got nowhere against the veteran troops down south.

Just before the Bulge the 36th ID had forced its way across the Muerthe River and through the St Marie Pass onto the Rhine Plain. The Germans made a local counter-attack December 13, but were unable to push the Division back. The 36th ID resumed attacking, northward along the Rhine River, on its west bank, to take Mannheim.

Company K was a rifle company in the 3rd Battalion of the 143rd Infantry. The 143rd Infantry was one of the three infantry regiments in the 36th Infantry Division.

Yes, the marines may make a person tough, but it does not make them immortal.

Yes. Males in the Republic of Korea are required to serve two years of compulsory military service, and are subject to recall for eight years afterwards. Military service is also mandatory in the DPRK (North Korea).

Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia, the only sizeable Confederate army still in action, were defeated by the Army of the Potomac, commanded by George Meade.

Some say that Meade should therefore have taken the surrender.

However, Lee was also General-in-Chief of the Confederates, so others say that U.S. Grant, as General-in-Chief of the Union, was the right one to do the honours - as he did, at a poignant meeting between America's two top soldiers.

The exact location of soldiers and units is considered confidential information and is not the sort of thing to share on a public message board. Watch the news and review news stories and you can figure out the general locations.

Implied Powers of the President are powers that are not listed in the Constitution but have been used by presidents as conditions change. During times of emergency, the President often does things that would not be acceptable during peaceful times. President Lincoln, for example, raised an army, spent money, blockaded southern ports, and suspended the writ of habeas corpus, and issued the Emancipation Proclamation without the approval of Congress. Since the President is the only person elected by the whole nation, the President can use his office to influence events and use his ceremonial duties to express his wishes and goals. He can use the media to get his message to the public or to criticize Congress or to try and convince congress to take a particular action. He can also use his office to influence the activity of the other two branches by his popularity with the public. Even a threat of a veto or the suggested appointment of a certain individual could make the other branches take notice of the implied suggestions from the executive office.
