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.

    LAYING THE KEEL MAY 2019 THE SAILOR'S CREED I AM A UNITED STATES SAILOR. I WILL SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND I WILL OBEY THE ORDERS OF THOSE APPOINTED OVER ME. I REPRESENT THE FIGHTING SPIRIT OF THE NAVY AND THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE ME TO DEFEND FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY AROUND THE WORLD. I PROUDLY SERVE MY COUNTRY'S NAVY COMBAT TEAM WITH HONOR, COURAGE AND COMMITMENT. I AM COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE AND THE FAIR TREATMENT OF ALL. INTRODUCTION As our Navy grows and evolves to protect America's interests in a fast paced, more complex and increasingly competitive environment, more will be expected and demanded from its Enlisted Leaders at all levels. Today, we are the strongest Navy in the world by any measure – we have the most capable ships, the best equipment, and more importantly the finest Sailors. Petty Officers have been demonstrating technical competence and devotion to duty in our Navy since 1775. Just as our capital assets, procedures, policies and technology have evolved over the course of our history, so has the process to develop effective leadership qualities that address the challenges our Sailors face. Our Sailors today are recognized worldwide in their distinct ability to overcome adversity, courageously face challenges and accomplish our Navy's mission as the world's most well trained and combat ready force. The Navy the Nation Needs will require our Enlisted Leaders to be continuously flexible, more innovative and confident in achieving operational excellence in tougher and more challenging environments. As our Sailors operate on all domains, from the sea floor to space, their daily duties, mission and challenges are unique.

  • Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2009
    Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2009 Richard F. Grimmett Specialist in International Security January 27, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32170 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2009 Summary This report lists hundreds of instances in which the United States has used its armed forces abroad in situations of military conflict or potential conflict or for other than normal peacetime purposes. It was compiled in part from various older lists and is intended primarily to provide a rough survey of past U.S. military ventures abroad, without reference to the magnitude of the given instance noted. The listing often contains references, especially from 1980 forward, to continuing military deployments especially U.S. military participation in multinational operations associated with NATO or the United Nations. Most of these post-1980 instances are summaries based on Presidential reports to Congress related to the War Powers Resolution. A comprehensive commentary regarding any of the instances listed is not undertaken here. The instances differ greatly in number of forces, purpose, extent of hostilities, and legal authorization. Eleven times in its history the U.S. has formally declared war against foreign nations. These eleven U.S. war declarations encompassed five separate wars: the war with Great Britain declared in 1812; the war with Mexico declared in 1846; the war with Spain declared in 1898; the First World War, during which the U.S. declared war with Germany and with Austria- Hungary during 1917; and World War II, during which the U.S.

    HCHS Chapter 7; Section 2 The Spanish-American War Chapter 7; Section 2; The Spanish-American War SPI 7.1 – Identify the causes of American imperialism (i.e., militarism) Target – How did militarism contribute to American imperialism? SPI 7.2 – Identify consequences of American imperialism (i.e., Spanish-American War, yellow journalism, military occupation) Target – How were Spanish-American War, yellow journalism, and military occupation a consequence of American imperialism? Essential Question – Was sympathy for the Cuban people or economic expansion the major reason why the United States declared war on Spain? The causes were intertwined. In Section 2 we will learn the causes of the Spanish-American War and how the United States became an imperialist power. Main Idea – Important In support of the Cuban rebellion and in retaliation for the loss of the USS Maine, the United States declared war on Spain. By 1898 Cuba and Puerto Rico were Spain’s last remaining colonies in the Western Hemisphere. The United States issues a declaration of war. Although the fighting lasted only a few months, the “splendid little war,” as Secretary of State John Hay described it, it dramatically altered the position of the United States on the world stage. Cuba was one of Spain’s oldest colonies in the Americas. Its sugarcane plantations generated considerable wealth for Spain. In 1868 Cuban rebels declared independence, but the rebellion quickly collapsed. By the early 1890’s the United States and Cuba had become closely linked economically. These economic ties created a crisis in 1894, when the United States imposed a new tariff on sugar that devastated Cuba’s economy.
