  • The Liberty Ships of World War Ii
    THE LIBERTY SHIPS OF WORLD WAR II Their Union County and Other Carolina Connections by Bill Lee Dedicated to the men of the American Merchant Marine and the United States Naval Armed Guard who sailed in harm’s way in Liberty Ships during World War II … …and who did not return. 2 ~ INTRODUCTION ~ America’s wartime merchant fleet made one of the more important contributions to victory in World War II. An all-volunteer civilian workforce of Merchant Mariners sailed thousands of vessels in harm’s way throughout that global conflict. These men paid a high price for their success, suffering the highest casualty rate of any service. Without their support, our armed forces could not have even gotten overseas, much less been properly supplied as they fought their way to victory. A major element of America’s wartime merchant fleet was a huge class of vessels known as the Liberty Ships. More Liberty Ships were built than any other class of sea-going vessels in the history of the world. Numbering 2,710, they were all mass-produced in less than five years. This astounding accomplishment took place in the middle of a world war that placed extreme demands on the capabilities of the United States and its allies. Not only did the men and women of America build Liberty Ships at an unprecedented rate, they also first constructed entire new shipyards for the sole purpose of building Liberty Ships. One of these shipyards was in North Carolina. Two others were built and successfully operated by Charlotteans who had no prior experience in shipbuilding.

  • Roman Warfare and Fortification
    Roman Warfare and Fortification Oxford Handbooks Online Roman Warfare and Fortification Gwyn Davies The Oxford Handbook of Engineering and Technology in the Classical World Edited by John Peter Oleson Print Publication Date: Dec 2009 Subject: Classical Studies, Ancient Roman History, Material Culture Studies Online Publication Date: Sep 2012 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199734856.013.0028 Abstract and Keywords This article concentrates on the role of technology in improving the operational capabilities of the Roman state. It reviews the organizational and weapon system developments that enabled Roman armies to engage their enemies with confidence in the field, alongside the evolution of fortification schemes that enabled economies of force, which were essential to imperial security. Roman weapons and equipment include the spear, sword, missiles, artillery, shields, helmets, and body armor. Although the Roman army was often on the attack and made use of complex siege technology, it was also highly skilled in the preparation of defensive fortifications. The Romans diligently applied themselves to the arts of war. Their successful mastery of battlefield techniques and their adoption, where appropriate, of equipment and technologies first introduced by their opponents allowed Roman armies to sustain the state over several hundreds of years of challenge and change. Keywords: Roman armies, Roman warfare, Roman fortification, spear, sword, missiles, artillery, shields, helmets, body armor Warfare and the Romans A message relayed to the Roman people by Romulus after his translation to the heavens, stands as an unambiguous endorsement of Roman military prowess. “Tell the Romans that it is the gods' will that my Rome shall be the capital of the world; therefore let them cultivate the arts of war and let them know and teach their children that no human force can resist Roman arms” (Livy 1.16.7).

  • Landpower Essay Series
    LANDPOWER ESSAY SERIES No. 93-8 October 1993 BATTLE SPACE- THE COMMANDER'S TOOL ON THE BATTLEFIELD OF THE FUTURE by Major General Paul E. Funk (The ideas and examples I have chosen to express the doctrinal notion of battle space reflect the professional opinions and analyses of numerous leaders at the Armor Center and throughout the Army. In hopes of generating thought and discussion on the matter, I asked Major James D. Brewer to work as editor for this article, but I will answer for its veracity and applicability.) Introduction Some of the greatest battles in heavyweight boxing history took place between Muhammed Ali and "Smokin' Joe" Frazier. Their pugilistic struggles of the 1970s, which forever claimed a place in boxing history and legend, featured two warriors with very different, yet effective, fighting styles. Ali was a true boxer who preferred to use his jab to keep Frazier at long range, only moving in close when he could do so safely. He would "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee," keeping in constant movement and using the entire ring to his advantage. Frazier, on the other hand, was an in-close fighter who sought to move inside Ali's jab, cut off the ring so Ali could not escape, work the body, and slug it out where he had an advantage in punching power. Victory in each Ali-Frazierfight depended upon which fighter could impress his own style and his own strengths on the other, i.e., the warrior who could control the fight. Landpower Essay Series is published by the AUSA Institute of Land Warfare.
