Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses similarities between the video game "America's Army" and the real army, such as simulation games and battle simulation episodes. The writer looks at methods of recruit and ways of advertising for the United States Army. The writer states that both the actual United States Army and "America's Army" rely on lures to gain new recruits. The writer continues that "America's Army" was designed to be both a way to lure young recruits and as a way to simulate battle experience. The writer shows that although "America's Army" and the United States Army share much in common, the video game remains a game and does not adequately capture the experience of serving in the armed forces.
From the Paper
"Both the America's Army video game and the United States Army use advertising, propaganda, and clever product placement in order to sell their ideas. In fact, America's Army is one of the propaganda and advertising tools that the United States Army uses as part of its arsenal of marketing tools. In addition to the video game, the United States army uses brochures, television ads, print ads and radio ads to sell the armed forces to young people. In the same way, America's Army is marketed through a series of advertisements in publications and on multimedia sources.
Both the America's Army video game and the United States Army use battle simulation games. In fact, the America's Army video game is almost entirely based on battle simulations. The United States Army employs more specific simulations games, such as those that are used to operate different types of mobile artillery. However, both the America's Army video and the United States Army need to hire software engineers that can craft intricate battle simulation episodes."

Abstract
This paper compares the Greek and Roman military might. The author looks at the styles and techniques that differed between the two armies and summarizes the features that made the Romans superior and, therefore, victorious.
From the Paper
"It has often been said that Rome conquered Greece but Greece conquered Rome. This means that although the Roman people defeated the Greeks militarily the culture of the Greeks was adopted by the Romans. This is somewhat true in several areas, including art, music, religion, and architecture. However, one area in which the ancient Greeks and Romans differed was their military. This became overwhelmingly evident between the early 3rd and middle 2nd centuries BC when the two nations most commonly associated with early civilization clashed and the Romans proceeded to expand their empire into Greek territory. The Romans came out victorious thanks to their superior unity, the use of the legion formation, and the ability to learn from their past mistakes. For these reasons Rome was the supreme military power in the European region for centuries while Greece only gained superiority for approximately 150 years."

"A Respectable Army", 2008.
This paper dispels the myths of the colonial army's war against the British in "A Respectable Army" by James Kirby Martin and Mark Edward Lender.

Abstract
This paper explains that America likes to believe that the colonial army was different from the British and was based upon ordinary men volunteering their time out of ideology and a love of liberty rather than a desire for money. The paper looks at "A Respectable Army" by James Kirby Martin and Mark Edward Lender who suggest that the war was actually won by paid soldiers, not by volunteers. The paper also discusses the class tension in the army that contradicts the preached ideal that the new colonial army was democratic and egalitarian.
From the Paper
"Rather than a citizen-solder, Martin and Lender stress that for most of the war, the majority of the colonial army had a relatively small percentage of landed farmers. The vast majority of the army's core was made up of poor men with little hope of employment elsewhere, who sought land and hopefully money and perhaps some social respectability as a result of the suffering they endured under Washington's command. They did not enlist for ideology, or to preserve their lifestyle, like the volunteer citizens, more often than not, they enlisted out of desperation. This vast social gulf and differing views of the rightness and importance of the colonial cause and the rightness of the social structure of America thus created an equally profound divide within the army between those who did serve as part of a standing, paid army and volunteers."

Abstract
Canada, while not a major military power, has a long and proud military history, including a far from peaceful past. A brief history of the origins of Canada's military in the 16th, 17th, and early 18th centuries. It examines how these early developments helped form the type of army in existence today.
From the Paper
"Canada as such is not a nation possessed of a major military presence or historical traditions. the present day Canadian army officially traces its formal origins from those forces raised to replace the departing British garrisons after confederation in 1867 (1). Before this a formal Canadian Army as such did not exist, or did it? The purpose of this paper is to show that a formal regular military developed during the first decade of the nineteenth century. This force was in addition to the British Imperial garrisons and the militia, which had always existed. From the period just prior to the Conquest of New France in 170 up to the War of 1812, the military in Canada underwent a significant change both in quality and in resulting opinion of their American and European counterparts and superiors.

Gays in the Army, 2002.
A comparison of the restrictions of gays in the American army to the previous restriction of women in the army.

»

Abstract
This paper examines the present restrictions that forbids gays from enlisting in the U.S. army. It compares this stance with the prohibition of women in combat units, which has subsequently been lifted. The writer shows how many now consider women to be an asset in the military. The author explains how the homosexual community hopes that this trend of acceptance will be extended to them as well.
From the Paper
"The question of whether gays should be allowed in the military involves complex arguments not just on the issue of fairness to gays and others in a democratic society but also on the role of the military and any special concerns that have to be considered when creating policy for the military. The issue has been much discussed in recent years and is similar in tone to the argument formerly raised for admitting women into the military, though there are significant differences as well. Some of the primary reasons given for keeping women out of the service have also been advanced in a modified form for keeping gays out of the military, so the experience the military has had with women is instructive."

Abstract
The paper explains why made Alexander the Great was one of the finest military commanders in history. The composition and organization of the army are analyzed and his tactics used in his four great battles.
From the Paper
"Alexander the Great ascended to the throne at a time when the Macedonian empire was at a crossroads, yet within ten years of coming to power in 336BC Alexander was within striking distance of the Indus valley after destroying the greatest empire the world had ever seen up to that point. The noted military tactician and historian J.F.C Fuller says of Alexander?s succession to the throne, ?When Philip was assassinated Alexander was barely twenty years of age and as yet so inexperienced and untried that it seemed to all Greece that the Macedonian empire was about to dissolve.? The description of Alexander by Arrian as ?always masterly? says a lot of his capability as a general, but Alexander had inherited numerous advantages from Philip II. This essay will seek to demonstrate whether or not Alexander was a tactical genius or not, on and off the battlefield. I will now go on to discuss the advantages that Alexander had inherited from Philip II."

The U.S. Army 1925-1945, 2007.
This paper discusses changes in the U.S. Army's discipline, training, duties and weapons from 1925 to 1945.

Abstract
The paper relates that during the period from 1925 - 1945, including World War II, combat consisted of close range fighting. The paper describes how economic turbulence and instability hounded the U.S. army until 1925. Then, during the thirties, the U.S. army fell to seventeenth among the world's armies. The paper relates that afterwards, however, the U.S. Army recovered and in time became recognized as a prominent powerful military force. The paper notes certain changes but stresses that the concepts embodied in training, duties, weapons and discipline remain constant as they contribute to the soul and heart of the U.S. Army.
From the Paper
"According to the Army Study Guide, "America's NCO corps and designated discipline details just didn't happen, but evolved over the years, tapping ideas and innovations from many different sources" (Army). Influence of Baron Von Steuben, America's first inspector general, powerfully shaped the structure of NCO corps and ensuing discipline strategies and techniques, not only in the Continental Army, but ultimately within the U.S. Army. Von Steuben introduced and officially established "the Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States, commonly called the 'Blue Book.'""

Army Recruiting: An Ethical Dilemma, 2006.
A discussion regarding the ethics surrounding recruitment to the U.S. army.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, £ 18.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the situation of ethical dilemmas in the U.S. army, and how it affects army recruiting. It explores how ethics typically involves the choice between an ethical and a non-ethical situation, and how the army has elected to not promote such ideals in army recruiting, as this may discourage the number of recruits. The paper illustrates this through current pertinent examples.
From the Paper
"With all of the current news focus on the war in Iraq, the converge between ethics and war actions has been made evident to the American public, especially with recent information regarding U.S. soldiers actions towards detainees at Guantanamo Bay. This raises questions regarding how much the army should consider situations containing ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas involve considering a conflict between moral imperatives. Typically, this necessitates a choice between a moral or ethical response and a non-ethical alternative. In many cases, ethical dilemmas are highly difficult as the non-ethical conclusion is often paired with other incentives. If a nation's army does not consider such ethics, major atrocities, genocides, torture, among other results, may occur. "

Abstract
This paper examines how the formation of a national federal reserve for the U.S. Army was a slow process and how it took many events and a few wars to establish and develop the U.S. Army reserves as we know it today. It discusses how, from a volunteer state run militias to a federally run federal reserve, America's Army has been shaped by war. It looks at how through the Spanish American War of 1898, which led to the Dick Act of 1903, and two World Wars, the Army reserve has been shaped and molded into an enduring legacy of military power.
From the Paper
"The Spanish-American War of 1898 pinpointed many deficiencies of the U.S. Army Reserve. Published after his death, The Military Policy of the United State, by Emory Upton argued for a stronger military force. By stronger he was referring to a professional one modeled off of the Prussians. The US Army subsequently embraced The Military Policy of the United States in its disputes with the militia advocates. Enamored by the German model, Upton wanted to achieve the same for the United States. However, like many raised in the Army way, Upton failed to grasp the interrelationship between politics and the military (Huntington). "

Abstract
The formation of a national federal reserve for the U.S. Army was a slow process; it took many events and a few wars to establish and develop the U.S. Army Reserves as we know it today.

War with Mexico
The First American War
Reconstruction and Industrialization
Military Reform
The First World War
Between the Wars
Preparing to Fight
World War II
The Korean War
The Turbulent 60's
The "Total Force" Goes to War
From the Paper
"The first call for this new Army Reserve came in 1916 as a result of tensions between the United States and Mexico. The National Defense Act of 1916 established the Officers Reserve Corps, the Enlisted Reserve Corps and the Reserve Officers Training Corps. One year later in 1917, the initial Reserve organization, the Medical Reserve Corps merged into the Officers Reserve Corps. On April 6, 1917, America entered World War I. By the end of June 1917, there were 21,543 officer reservists and 35,000 enlisted reservists. Obviously, the contribution of the Reservists cannot be overstated. "

Abstract
As the Army is trying to regard soldiers as customers instead of the old generation's view, it is also trying to give better service to these customers. This paper looks at how the United States Army Recruiting Command?s recent web-based approach and the implementation of the Army Recruiting Information Support System is a part of this effort. It explains that not only has boosted recruitment, but also made the process more efficient. Since the successful implementation or ARISS, the Marine Corp, Air Force, and Navy have all followed suit respectively. It shows how ARISS allows recruiting personnel to bring their work with them in their mobile recruitment effort and also has allowed the number of personnel needed in the process of enlistment to be lowered.
From the Paper
"Standard Army Military Systems (STAMIS) is the ?Army?s primary organization for developing and managing IT systems?? (Greenemeier, 2001, September 28). STAMIS mission is to ?provide effective, multi-functional, leading edge, global information solutions to guarantee information dominance across the operational spectrum? (Defense Daily Network, 2001). One information system that STAMIS is responsible for is the Army Recruiting Information Support System (ARISS) (Defense Daily Network, 2001). In trying to save money and provide more efficient service, the government introduced programs like the ARISS system which are designed to operate more like a business than a governmental bureaucracy. ARISS gives the Army recruiters an automated system that allows them to sell, recruit and process the required documentation more efficiently with less error. The previous process was basically manual and required the recruiter to make contact with the prospective recruit, find out their interests and then make an appointment with the recruit to come into the Recruiting Station for further assessment and processing. (T.D. Briggs, personal communication, November 11, 2003). With the integration of ARISS, the recruiter can make an appointment with the prospective recruit wherever and whenever it?s convenient including home, school and work environments (T.D. Briggs, personal communication, November 11, 2003)."
