They were introduced during the first World War.

(Which went from 1914 to 1918)

At full strength, around 45. There were four platoons to an infantry company, and the Table of Organization and Equipment (TO & E) changed, from 225 men to a company when the war started to 187 by the end. After the first contact with the enemy, no platoon was ever at full strength, unless and until it got some time out of the line to absorb replacements. Generally replacements (never enough to make good all losses) came up at night and were placed into a combat situation in the dark, among complete strangers. Not a fortunate lot for the replacements, many of whom themselves swiftly became casualties.

An infantry platoon was usually commanded by a second or first lieutenant and had four squads. Each squad was led by a sergeant or staff sergeant. Three of the squads were rifle squads, of twelve men each, and the fourth squad was the "weapons" squad, which might be a few men smaler than a rife squad. The weapons squad had the two .30 caliber air-cooled machine guns of the platoon, and sometimes the bazookas (anti-tank rocket launchers), but at other times the bazookas might be distributed among the rifle squads. The weapons squad might also have 60 mm mortars.

The three rife squads were divided into three four-man fire teams. This allowed the squad leader to use one or two teams to try to pin down the enemy and the other one or two to try to "flank" the enemy - to get around to the side or rear of the enemy position and "take them in the flank" with enfilading fire.

Similarly, the platoon leader could do the same - he had three "maneuver squads" plus his weapons squad, and could use one or two squads to pin down the enemy and the other to maneuver around the enemy into a good firing position. This is called a "holding attack", and was the ONLY tactic taught to the thousands of junior officers the US had to train to command its small infantry units in the war. There was not time to try to teach officer candidates anything more fancy or complicated.

The WWII army is sometimes said to have been "triangular", becuase this pattern of three maneuver units available persists all the way up the chain of command. A company had three rifle platoons, plus a weapons platoon. A battalion had three rifle companies, plus a weapons company. A regiment had three infantry battalion, plus artillery. A division had three regiments, plus more artillery. So as an officer was promoted, what he knew how to do would still apply.

Yes, and that was Pearl Harbor and the Japanese made an air raid attack with 300 planes only 29 were shot down one of the first was planes shot down was bye Dorie Miller the man in the picture he was the first African-American. Pearl Harbor is how the US joined WW2 and other American Territories.

---------------

WWII happened throughout Europe. Pearl Harbor was just the act by the Japanese DURING the war that caused the US to join the fight.

There was a plan where they would blockade southern ports, and block their food and supply income. It was never put into act. Tecumseh Sherman burned his way through the south, destroyed railroads and took food.

none of them.

Activity Theory is a framework or descriptive tool for a system. People are socio-culturally embedded actors (not processors or system components). There exists a hierarchical analysis of motivated human action (levels of activity analysis).

Depending where in the world you are, it goes by different names. In Britain, it used to be called National Service where every male of age would compulsory complete a minimum of two years service in one of the three Armed Forces; Army, Navy and RAF. In Switzerland and Israel, for example, both sexes are required for military service and must complete something like two to four weeks training every year to comply with law. However in the case of Israel, you can always be called up in times of crisis from the age of 18 until retirement, and yes that would include both sexes.

In the United States, there are a multitude of laws and executive orders which created and modified the rules around compulsory military service. Generally speaking, they fall under the umbrella known as "Selective Service". However, the U.S. does not currently require individuals to actually serve, only that they register for potential service.

World War II in Europe is generally agreed to have begun when Nazi tanks rolled into Poland on September 1, 1939. It would be another 27 months before the US entered the war. On September 3, 1939, the US Army got a new commanding general when George C. Marshall was sworn in as the new Chief of Staff. Marshall inherited an army that was the 21st largest in the world, right behind Bulgaria. The US Army was primed and equipped to refight WWI, and Marshall had a huge task to expand and modernize, and completely reorganize the US Army. There were less than 250,000 officers and men when Marshall began his work. In 1940, Congress passed the first peacetime draft in American history, to draft one million men into the Army to serve for one year. This draft legislation came up for renewal the next year, in August 1941, and passed Congress by the margin of a single vote. The million men drafted in 1940 were not let out after a year, as they had been promised, and were generally pretty aggravated about it. By December 1941, when the US was in the war, the US Army still numbered less than two million, a smaller force by far than that which Hitler had sent against the Russians in the summer of 1941. But, by the end of the war, under Marshall's guidance, the US Army had expanded to over eight million men and was victorious around the globe. Marshall was also in charge of the Air Force, which was still the US Army Air Force until 1947, so he commanded another three million men there.

At state level, it would be the State Governor, who serves as Commander in Chief for their state's respective military department, or whichever department the National Guard and State Guard/State Defence Force (if their state has one) is relegated under.

There was 155,000 and now in 2011 its down to about 50,000

Well there is one way, it's called ROTC. There for about 2 months or 3 you spend most of your time doing what military personals do but without having to go to war its just a sample of what real military is or you can spend your time at home and do your own work outs and all you really need is a pull up bar. Do push ups, sit ups or crunches, and pull ups. I Also reconmend you to run and get your stamina up and leg muscles. Start out slow with your reps. and sets and gradually raise up the number of times you do them and take days off since over working can really damage your body so probably on everyother day you would work out and jog.

10 push ups of 3 sets

15 sit ups of 3 sets

2 pull ups of 3 sets

Run 2 miles

Start from there and raise the number of sets and reps. you do them.

Remeber do them every other day so it would be on monday you train and then Tuesday you get rest.

Drink a lot of water probably a 2 quarts of water a day.

Hope this helps. (I Also work out =])

depending on age, they do have military for youths age 12+ where you can join up with they, they teach/train you on different aspects on military life and training and you do different activities, i was in a program called CAP (Civil Air Patrol) its similitary to the Airforce but for kids, i learned drill, physical training, learned to fly a plane and when to military bases and did there training courses. (also you do get to wear uniforms, cammies and dress uniforms, normally there the older out dated uniforms that arn't used anymore)

As of 2016, the US Army reports approximately 475,000 Active personnel, and 540,000 Reserve and National Guard personnel for a total of 1,015,000. Obviously the exact numbers vary from day to day as soldiers join and leave the Army.

In the Canadian Forces, there are about 12 people at this grade, but this would include the Navy, Army, and Air Force.

If the CF's composition is about 40% army, then usually it means 4 to 6 people out of the 12 will be Army Lieutenant-Generals. The "Chief of the Land Staff" (i.e. senior army officer) also holds this rank. The rest of the Lieutenant-Generals usually hold various senior staff positions for the CF in general.

Historian's generally accept the year 1961 as the start of US military involvement in Vietnam.

Nearly 7,000 US military officers perished in Vietnam.
