Organization of the Roman Military 150 CE
Organization of the Roman Military 150 CE It was the strength and proficiency of the Roman army that held the empire together against internal revolts and threats from beyond the borders. The army was unique in the classical world: a professional standing army, with state-provided weapons and armor, salaried troops, and 30 or so legions (the main body of the army) permanently stationed at garrison towns along imperial frontiers. Legions were reinforced with auxiliary troops drawn from the local population. To support the army and protect merchant shipping from piracy, Rome maintained a large navy with fleets in the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and along the Rhine and Danube Rivers. LEGION UNITS Legion A body of about 5,000 foot soldiers, uniformly legionaries (160 in first cohort centuries). There were 6 trained and equipped—similar to a modern army division. centuries in the 2nd to 10th cohorts and 5 in the first A legion was the smallest formation in the Roman army cohort. capable of sustained independent operations. Cavalry A small force of about 120 mounted legionaries Cohort (10) The distinct tactical units of a legion, each attached to each legion for escort, messenger, and about 480 men strong—equivalent in size and function to reconnaissance duties. They were not usually seen on a modern infantry battalion. The first cohort was the battlefield. approximately double strength (around 800 men) and Artillery Each legion had 60 engines (catapults).

This Index Lists the Army Units for Which Records Are Available at the Eisenhower Library
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS U.S. ARMY: Unit Records, 1917-1950 Linear feet: 687 Approximate number of pages: 1,300,000 The U.S. Army Unit Records collection (formerly: U.S. Army, U.S. Forces, European Theater: Selected After Action Reports, 1941-45) primarily spans the period from 1917 to 1950, with the bulk of the material covering the World War II years (1942-45). The collection is comprised of organizational and operational records and miscellaneous historical material from the files of army units that served in World War II. The collection was originally in the custody of the World War II Records Division (now the Modern Military Records Branch), National Archives and Records Service. The material was withdrawn from their holdings in 1960 and sent to the Kansas City Federal Records Center for shipment to the Eisenhower Library. The records were received by the Library from the Kansas City Records Center on June 1, 1962. Most of the collection contained formerly classified material that was bulk-declassified on June 29, 1973, under declassification project number 735035. General restrictions on the use of records in the National Archives still apply. The collection consists primarily of material from infantry, airborne, cavalry, armor, artillery, engineer, and tank destroyer units; roughly half of the collection consists of material from infantry units, division through company levels. Although the collection contains material from over 2,000 units, with each unit forming a separate series, every army unit that served in World War II is not represented. Approximately seventy-five percent of the documents are from units in the European Theater of Operations, about twenty percent from the Pacific theater, and about five percent from units that served in the western hemisphere during World War II. -

The BCT shifted how various army units interacted by changing the echelon at which different types of units report to a single commander, essentially creating self-sufficient units of about 2,500 soldiers instead of the previous self-sufficient units of about 15,000 soldiers. -
A Comparison of Deployed Occupational Tasks Performed by Different Types of Military Battalions and Resulting Low Back Pain
MILITARY MEDICINE, 178, 8:e937, 2013 A Comparison of Deployed Occupational Tasks Performed by Different Types of Military Battalions and Resulting Low Back Pain MAJ Tanja C. Roy, SP USA*; CPT Heather P. Lopez, SP USA† ABSTRACT With deployment Soldiers must now wear body armor and additional equipment while performing occupational tasks, representing a large demand that has not been considered when studying military occupations. The purpose of this study was to: (1) describe tasks required by different occupational battalions within a Brigade Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/milmed/article/178/8/e937/4259694 by guest on 04 October 2021 Combat Team; (2) establish the incidence of low back pain (LBP) in each battalion and; (3) determine which tasks predict LBP within the different battalions. This was a prospective cohort study investigating 805 Soldiers in a Brigade Combat Team deployed to Afghanistan for 1 year. Demographic, occupational, and fitness variables were recorded. There was no difference in time spent on fitness training between the battalions. Occupational tasks performed by deployed Soldiers vary in the level of physical demand between battalions. Infantry had the highest fitness score (257); wore the heaviest equipment (70 lb.); spent the most time wearing body armor (49 hours/week), performing dismounted patrol (29 hours/week), and lifting objects (35 hours/week); spent the least amount of time working at a desk (14 hours/week); but had a similar incidence of LBP (77%) compared to other battalions. History of LBP and time spent wearing body armor were the two most consistent predictors of LBP across battalion types. -

Omar Bradley's View of Airpower A
The commander of the 12th Army Group didn’t need wild declarations about how airpower helped win the war in Europe. The results spoke for themselves. was none other than Army Gen. Omar N. Bradley, four-star commander of 12th Army Group. Today it’s uncommon for senior ground commanders to spend time and resources analyzing airpower’s role at the opera- tional level of war. This was not the case in 1945. Writing up airpower’s scorecard was deemed a vital task—so much so, it had to be completed before forces rotated back to the United States. As American airpower starts its third decade in action in US Central Com- mand, it is instructive to look back at how air superiority, interdiction, recon- naissance, and lift affected the war in Omar Bradley’s View of Airpower t the end of World War II, By Rebecca Grant the US Army brass in Eu- rope sang the praises of airpower. For the first time, Aairpower influenced the design for major campaigns—and made a difference in the tactical outcomes of battles from Normandy to Remagen, Germany. Lost in dense volumes of after-action analyses was one of the most unusual and compelling reports ever written on airpower. The report, titled “Effect of Air Power on Military Operations: Western Europe,” was authored by Army ground officers. The Air Effects Committee of 12th Army Group consisted of Army infantry officers drawn from the air branches of G-3 (operations) and G-2 (intelligence) of 12th Army Group.

ARMY the Army Is Older Than the Country It Serves
Overview YOUR UNITED STATES ARMY The Army is older than the country it serves. Authorized by the Second Continental Congress, the Continental Army was established on 14 June 1775. THE ARMY: • is the oldest and largest of the military departments; • has Soldiers in every state and U.S. territory (Total Army); • is the second largest U.S. employer (Wal-Mart is the largest); • has over 250 Military Occupational Specialties and Officer specialties; and • is the foundation of the Joint Force. Fewer than 1% of Americans currently serve in the military; 79% of Soldiers come from families that have served in the military. People Are Our Army SOLDIERS SERVE AND LIVE BY A SET OF SEVEN COMMON VALUES: LOYALTY DUTY RESPECT SELFLESS SERVICE EVERY SOLDIER HONOR IS A VOLUNTEER INTEGRITY PERSONAL COURAGE Soldiers are not in the Army— Soldiers are the army.
