Troop Leading Procedures and the Military Decision-Making Process are two different procedures. They are used in the military to help pass down information from the higher levels down to the lower ones. These different procedures are used at different levels in the chain of command. They are both used to help solve problems at an easier speed of time.…
This was the first time a tank was ever used in a battle. They deployed two tanks, but because of mechanical issues only one was able to fight. They were able to take the Chateau because the tank took out the enemy machine guns and obstacles of the German defenses. As they were going through Thiepval Maxwell’s men faced fierce hand-to-hand combat. Maxwell’s officers were taking heavy losses and because of this…

Second platoon was considered one of the toughest ones. They were put in their location Firebase, Phoenix. Because they were not afraid of anything. “Wars are fought on physical terrain-deserts, mountains, etc.-as well as on what they call “human terrain.”(Junger P. 43) They would find a lot of their information through “Prophet”, which was eavesdropping on enemy radio. Everyone in second platoon had their favorite weapon they would like to use while in combat. “There are mark guys and .50 guys.” (Junger p.150) Mark is a…

The idea of tanks was brought up during the war but unfortunately this idea was rejected. It wasn’t until September 1916 that the first war tank was made by the British as a sort of mobilised pillbox with caterpillar tracks that could advance forward under withering machine guns; it was also made to crush wire and obstacles and to provide fire support for advancing infantry. The abilities of the tank were very high and technological in that time. The tanks had to have a top speed of 4mph on flat land, the ability to turn sharply at top speed, to climb a high foot parapet, to cross and eight feet gap and a working radius of 20 miles. The tank was first used in the village of flers on the Somme. On the battle field came major problems for the first tank such as; only been able to travel 10k per hour, the tanks couldn’t take the muddy land and eventually got stuck; it was also later found out in the war medical report itemising the terrible health problem the tank crew were getting – from skin rashes to burning of the nose and throat by fumes. This was improved at the battle of Cambre in November 1917.…
The inventions of the repeating machine gun, the development of poison gas, and the introduction of the first tanks caused armies to fight using the bunkering method. This allowed men to huddle in trenches along what are called skirmish lines and throw, lob, and fire by other means weapons to cause damage while men were protected by about 4 to 5 feet deep earth. This caused men to fight in rear columns behind tanks can basically caused defensive fighting tactics resulting in drawn out protracted battles.…
One tactic that was used was trench warfare. The soldiers would stand in the ground with high walls for protection. This provided shelter from gunfire. These walls were tall enough so everyone could stand behind them. One of the downsides to trench warfare was “trench foot.” This would occur when the soldiers stood in inches of water for days on end. It was a nasty infection that would get them sent to the infirmary and take them out of battle for an extended period of time. Not only did the infection affect how much time they got to fight it was also very painful.…

During the Battle of Somme, the British developed a crucial learning point on the development of an operational mindset inside the Western Front. Although the improvement was perceptible, it did not quantify the ability to maneuver through the frigid rain and mucked field. Battlefield terrain displayed a significant role in regulating the character and outcome of many of these encounters. The appearance of low hills and ridges contributed the focus for many of the most famous enfeebling battles of the Western Front, as each side wrangled to attain the strategic advantage distributed by the high…
