Ever wondered about military ranks and what they mean? From chevrons to bars, diamonds to arcs, here’s a definitive guide.
Army ranks – from private to general
There are enlisted folks, warrant officers and officers in the U.S. Army. The top dog is the General of the Army. However, only two soldiers in all of history have ever held that rank – George Washington and John J. Pershing. Most often, you’ll see peach fuzz on the uniform of a new recruit who hasn’t yet earned a rank. Then, as a person moves through their Army career, their rank will continue to change.
When it comes to weapons, flamethrowers have a special place in our hearts. Sure, guns are cool, but they lack the fiery, explosive power that these mobile fire machines bring to the table. From the trenches of WWI to the modern battlefield, these weapons have undergone quite an evolution. Let’s take a look at how flamethrowers have changed since their inception.
The Early Days of Flamethrowers
The use of flamethrowers in World War I was a game-changer. That’s because they offered warfighters a new way of attacking enemy forces that had never been seen before.
As a mil spouse living OCONUS (outside the continental United States), it can be challenging to find and maintain employment. Moving frequently is a part of military life, and military spouses often have to deal with the added stress of job hunting in a new location. It’s no wonder that military spouses have a much higher unemployment rate than their civilian counterparts.
Sometimes called the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, this major battle of the Korean War took place from November 26, 1950, until December 13, 1950. Chosin took place on some of the toughest terrain during harsh winter conditions. In addition to the enemy, service members faced frozen ground, frostbite conditions, icy roads, and weapon malfunctions.
Combat took place around the frozen Chosin reservoir and in the rugged mountains of Korea. This was the first major engagement between the US X Corps and the People’s Volunteer Army (PVA) 9th Army, organized by China’s Chairman Mao Zedong.
The name alone is a mouthful, but the fact is that without Charles Cornwallis, the American Revolution might’ve had a very different ending.
Lord Charles Cornwallis (December 31, 1738 – October 5, 1805) served as Lieutenant General for the British Army. He led the British campaign to capture Virginia and the Carolinas during the American Revolution. As you probably know, the British were quick to win early victories in the earliest days of the American Revolution. In fact, Cornwallis is credited with winning decisive battles in both Long Island and New York City before moving south.
