Krivdo, B.A., Texas A&M University; M.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Joseph G. Dawson, III This dissertation provides analysis on several areas of study related to the history of the United States Marine Corps in the Civil War Era. One element scrutinizes the efforts of Commandant Archibald Henderson to transform the Corps into a more nimble and professional organization. Henderson's initiatives are placed within the framework of the several fundamental changes that the U.S. Navy was undergoing as it worked to experiment with, acquire, and incorporate new naval technologies into its own operational concept.

Historical and commemorative medals can often be used to help illustrate the plight of a People. Such is the case with medals issued during the period of the War of 1812. As wars go, this war was fairly short and had relatively few casualties1, but it had enormous impact on the future of the countries and inhabitants of the Northern Hemisphere. At the conclusion of this conflict, the geography, destiny and social structure of the newly-formed United States of America and Canada were forever and irrevocably altered.

    War of 1812 1 War of 1812 The War of 1812 was a military conflict fought between the forces of the United States of America and those of the British Empire. The Americans declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade restrictions because of Britain's ongoing war with France, impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, and over national honour after humiliations on the high seas. Tied down in Europe until 1814, the British at first used defensive strategy, repelling multiple American invasions of the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. However, the Americans gained control over Lake Erie in 1813, seized parts of western Ontario, and destroyed the dream of an Indian confederacy and an independent Indian state in the Midwest under British sponsorship. In the Southwest General Andrew Jackson destroyed the military strength of the Creek nation at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. With the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the British adopted a more aggressive strategy, sending in three large invasion armies. British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed the British to capture and burn Washington, D.C. American victories in September 1814 and January 1815 repulsed all three British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans. The war was fought in three theaters: At sea, warships and privateers of both sides attacked each other's merchant ships. The British blockaded the Atlantic coast of the U.S. and mounted large-scale raids in the later stages of the war.

During this year’s Pacific Partnership, more than 900 Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen along with 18 partner and host nations have been working side-by-side to increase capacity to respond to humanitarian crises whenever and wherever they occur in the region. This region is known for earthquakes, typhoons, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. It is a matter of when, not if, the next disaster strikes and these disasters transcend borders. GULF OF THAILAND (May 17, 2018) Paul Torres, a civilian mariner A pair of Military Sealift Command ships were the primary platforms embarked aboard Military Sealift Command expeditionary fast transport ship USNS Brunswick (T-EPF 6), assigned to Pacific Partnership 2018 (PP18), for the partnership activities—the 65,000-ton hospital ship USNS participates in small boat operations in the Gulf of Thailand, May 17.

    The Reverend William Elliot Naval Chaplain Journal March 1808 to November 1814

    The Reverend William Elliot Naval Chaplain Journal March 1808 to November 1814 Notre to readers The reverend Elliot made use of nearly every bit of space in his small diary/journal and often inserted bits of information as memorandums, added at the end of any month where there was sufficient space to squeeze it in. Therefore details of some historical events, or financial transactions or awards, may appear out of chronological order. For clarity all of such entries are marked as being a Memorandum. Also many abbreviations are used which are no longer in common use in modern day English; for example &c is an old English way of noting „etc‟, also the use of the French method for writing „the‟ is often used, for example when referring to ships - L’Aigle (the Aigle) or L’Impetueux (the Impetueux), as well as the port of Orient as L‟Orient. Other common abbreviations are Ad‟l for Admiral amd L‟d for Lord. A number of Royal Navy warships have French names, and in fact some were actually French built, captured by the British and pressed into service by the Admiralty. The Donegal was one herself, the 74 gun Téméraire-class ship of the line, Le Hoche, captured from the French on 12 October 1798 Wherever possible the text is reproduced exactly as it appears in the handwritten original, however all ship names are in italics for clarity. Words that cannot be clearly deciphered are in red with a question mark. Journal passed down to his Great-Granddaughter Clementina Dunlop, Grandmother of Robert Dunlop b.
