TERMS
THIS STRATEGY AIMS AT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ENEMY'S ARMED FORCES AND HIS MEANS TO FIGHT
ANNIHILATION
AT THE BATTLE OF COWPENS DANIEL MORGAN USED THE SAME TACTIC HANNIBAL USED ON THE ROMANS AT CANNAE. MORGAN USED THIS TACTIC TO TOTALLY DEFEAT TARLETON'S LEGION. WHAT IS THIS TACTIC OF ENCIRCLEMENT WHICH USUALLY LEADS TO A CRUSHING DEFEAT OF THE ENEMY
DOUBLE ENVELOPMENT
OF ALL THE TYPES OF WARS THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE WOULD BE:
GENERAL NUCLEAR WAR
THE WAR OF 1812 BEGAN BECAUSE:
THE BRITISH WERE INCITING THE INDIANS TO ATTACK AMERICAN SETTLEMENTS.
THE BRITISH WERE RESTRICTING U.S. TRADE
THE BRITISH WERE IMPRESSING OUR SAILORS INTO THEIR NAVY
ONE OF THE MAJOR ADVANTAGES THE U.S. HAD OVER THE MEXICANS WERE THAT THE U.S. HAD A GROUP OF TALENTED YOUNG OFFICERS WHO HAD SUPERIOR TRAINING FROM WHAT U.S. SCHOOL
THE MILITARY ACADEMY AT WEST POINT
ONE WAY A WAR CAN END IS WHEN ONE SIDE IS OVERWHELMED, DEFEATED, AND FORCED TO GIVE IN TO THE OTHER SIDE
SURRENDER
THE PRIMARY STRATEGY USED TO WASHINGTON WAS TO NEVER ALLOW HIS ARMY TO BE CUT OFF AND DESTROYED WHICH CONTINUED THE REVOLUTION NO MATTE HOW MANY BATTLES HE LOST. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHAT TYPE OF STRATEGY?
THIS TYPE OF STRATEGY AIMS AT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ENEMY'S WILL TO FIGHT. IT IS A STRATEGY OF WEARING THE ENEMY DOWN AND MAKING HIM QUIT BECAUSE THE PRICE OF HIS VICTORY IS SIMPLY NOT WORTH IT TO HIM. IN THIS STRATEGY A TIE EQUALS A WIN.
STRATEGY OF EXHAUSTION
THE PRIMARY STRATEGIC OBECTIVE OF THE U.S. AT THE START OF THE WAR WAS TO:
ATTACK AND CAPTURE CANADA
WINFIELD SCOTT''S STRATEGY WAS TO CAPTURE MEXICO CITY AND FORCE THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT TO NEGOTIATE. TO MAKE THE MARCH TO MEXICO CITY HE DID SOMETHING CONSIDERED EXTREMELY DARING AND RISKY.
HE ABANDONED HIS OWN SUPPLY LINE TO ENABLE HIM MASS HIS FORCES AND MOVE FASTER.
THIS PRINCIPLE OF WAR EMPHASIZES THE CONCENTRATION OF COMBAT POWER AT THE DECISIVE TIME AND PLACE
MASS
THIS BATTLE OF THE REVOLUTION IS CONSIDERED THE TURNING POINT IN THE WAR BECAUSE THE U.S. VICTORY BROUGHT FRANCE INTO THE WAR
THIS PRINCIPLE OF WAR IS THE FLEXIBLE APPLICATION OF COMBAT POWER AND MOVEMENT AND MASS TO DESTROY THE ENEMY.
MANEUVER
THE U.S. NAVY WAS TINY COMPARED TO THE BRITISH NAVY, BUT IT HAD SOME ADVANTAGES. AS OPPOSED TO THE BRITISH SAILORS ALL OUR SAILORS WERE:
VOLUNTEERS
THE U.S. ARMY'S CAPTURE OF THE PORT OF VERA CRUZ WAS THE U.S ARMY'S FIRST WHAT?
LARGE SCALE AMPHBIOUS LANDING IN U.S. ARMY HISTORY
THIS PRINCIPLE OF WAR EMPHASIZES THE STRIKING OF THE ENEMY AT A TIME AND PLACE FOR WHICH HE IS NOT PREPARED
SURPRISE
THIS LEADER OF THE REVOLUTION WAS CONSIDERED AMERICA'S GREATEST GENERAL NEXT TO WASHINGTON. THIS GENERAL INVADED CANADA AND WON THE BATTLE IN THE $300 QUESTION. BUT NOW HIS NAME IS ASSOCIATED WITH TREASON AND BETRAYAL.
BENEDICT ARNOLD
THE U.S. STRATEGY IN THE MEXICAN WAR WAS:
ANNIHILLATION
THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS WAS A MAJOR AMERICAN VICTORY BECAUSE OF THE EFFORTS OF ONE MAN. WHO?
ANDREW JACKSON
AT THE BATTLE OF BUENA VISTA THE U.S. FORCES DEFEAT A MUCH LARGER FORCE UNDER SANTA ANNA. SUPERIOR ARTILLERY AND STIFF RESISTANCE BY U.S. MILITIA GAVE THIS GENERAL (LATER PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.) THE VICTORY.
ZACHARY TAYLOR
ONE WAY A WAR CAN END IS WHEN ONE SIDE IS WINNING, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO COMPEL SUBMISSION, OR THE WAR IS IN STALEMATE, OR WHEN BOTH SIDES AGREE TO MEET TO DISCUSS TERMS
NEGOTIATIONS
THE 2 PRIMARY ROLES OF COLONIAL MILITA BEFORE THE REVOLUTION WERE TO FIGHT THE FRENCH IN NORTH AMERICA AND WHAT OTHER GROUP?
THE INDIANS
THIS PRINCIPLE OF WAR IS THAT THROUG ATTACK OPERATIONS AN ARMY SEIZES THE INITIATIVE AND DENIES IT TO THE ENEMY
J.P. HOLLAND
THE USS CONSTITUTION, AND HER SISTER SHIPS WERE BIGGER, FASTER, MORE HEAVILY ARMED THAN THE BRITISH SHIPS IN THIS CLASS.
WHAT CLASS OF SHIPS WERE THEY?
CLUE- THEY WERE BIGGER THAN BRIGS OR SLOOPS, BUT SMALLER THAN SHIPS OF THE LINE.
FRIGATES
PRIOR TO HIS COMMAND OF U.S. ARMIES IN THE MEXICAN WAR WINFIELD SCOTT HAD COMMANDED U.S. TROOPS IN THE WAR OF 1812. HE WOULD BE PROMOTED TO GENERAL IN CHIEF IN COMMAND OF THE U.S. ARMY WHEN WHAT LATER WAR BROKE OUT?
THE CIVIL WAR.
