the canadian army and the american army have long been partners in the defense of two free nations.ope and in korea, canadian and american soldiers have fought side-by-side, shoulder by shoulder, in keeping with a proud heritage. "the big picture" salutes the canadian army and brings you a report on its distinguished past, and its dynamic president. with me here at the citadel fortress of quebec are two canadian soldiers, sergeant mcmanus and accompany major. sergeant major, you are with the canadian guards. >> yes, sergeant. member of the canadian guards. the regiment was formed in 1953 and became canada's first national regiment. its motto means from sea to sea. host: what are your assignments? with [french spoken] . we are a french unit. most of our men are french and come from the province of quebec. host: i'm told the 22nd regiment is frequent lee -- frequently referred to as the van douxs. >> we are called that by english speaking people. come now as we watch the changing of the guard. ♪ [trumpet being played] narrator: the tradition of canada's regiments have been nurtured by

army. flip side of this, of course, is you also have nearly 2,000 male nurses who were trained and had degrees ready for service who also continued to try to push the military to change particularly the army to change the way in which it accepted nurses. this, of course, was met with -- with an outright negative as it came to male nrses. regardless -- about concerns -- regarding nursing shortages they persisted throughout the war and as a result by the time we get to late 1944, in 1945, grumbles started to become quite public about what to do concerning ors inning shortages. it gets so bad by january 6th 1945, is part of his public announcement to congress president roosevelt announced his support for legislation to expand the selective services act of 1940 to include for the first time the drafting of female nurses into the army. so you can imagine this was a moment us moment here is up into this point, the selective services act then as now only refers to men. and only ins two men serving

army officer. i served in the national guard and regular army for just under 24 years or so. >> how has the military changed? from 1918 to today. >> today, the soldier commands much more of a battle space than he did in world war i. units are much smaller. the firepower that can be put out by a squad now is likely to be put out by a company in world war i. there are so many changes, the advances in technology, the ability to see what the enemy is doing. it is incomparable, but the individual soldier experience is still quite common, but they say technology changes but tactics really don't. >> good morning. i'm with the 18th infantry regiment, french unit. what i have here in front of me is a model 1914 machine gun, the most common machine gun used by the french army, specially from 1916 to 1918. a very good machine gun used up until the early 1960's in some french colonies. the u.s. army actually entered the war not really prepared for modern style warfare. the machine guns they had were not really

some of the army -- at least one army officer shot himself. he couldn't take his troops further and said, this is suicide. he killed himself with a .45. i can't answer that question. i don't know who they were. >> how can i find out? >> well, going back to the records. in the truman library. >> the truman library. >> by the way, truman's library is an excellent source. you can read the letters to his future life. and there are a lot of things there about his decisions during that time. >> you said macarthur was against -- >> i think so, yeah. >> do you know why he was against it? >> well, i don't know. i don't know. yeah, i don't know. i will put words in his mouth if i give my opinion. yes? questions? okay, thank you.

army was disorganized and unprepared. marshall knew the soldiers have been through a lot, and much of what they withdrew was difficult, because they found that defending a land, and fighting a war they may have not understood. because of this, marshall took the issue of morale seriously. he went to great lakes to make sure he met high levels of morale during world war ii. this ranges from supporting u.s. toys, and other forms of entertainment for soldiers stationed overseas. even set up makeshift posed exchanges for soldiers at the front. marshall had a policy of never allowing any sales of comfort items to occur in the rear until has begun upfront, because marshall observed the opposite taking place during the first world war and he knew the resentment a cause. fox connor, who oversaw marshall, paid marshals ultimate tribute, when he offered advice to eisenhower. connor said, there is a man here that is genius, and if war comes again, which will come, you can do no better than to tie yourself to general marshall, because

army in the war as well. the u.s. used some purchase guns in the british sector depending where they fought. browning came out with his machine gun. what we have is an eight millimeters standard french -- labelle cartridge, the same as all the other french weapons. it doesn't seem efficient. it does keep up a steady rate of fire. 450 rounds per minute. it's considered one of the most modern machine guns. plus the heavy metal of the barrel. it's like with modern machine guns, keeping the barrel from overheating. to operate the gun. typically these guns were cited so they could crisscross. one gun working in pairs with other guns. they try to keep him as camouflage. they are a big target for artillery. especially during daylight hours. you see a splinter proof shelter like this in the daytime, also from aerial observation. if there is an alarm or alert, they can quickly move up the front line and set up and be operational within minutes. nighttime they would set up the guns to be ready to operate at night. they would us

army in europe. the reality was that the army didn't have alternatives. the arrival of the first division in france created the additional challenge for marshall of convincing allies that the u.s. army was capable of fighting as an independent force. after the ship docked and the soldiers marched through the town, marshall could not help but notice their unmilitary appearance and slouchy uniforms. he believed this this display created the understanding that our soldiers knew nothing of the military business. the first division was then relocated to the designated training area. no sooner had the division arrived, than the french would begin training the american units so they could fight as soon as possible. the trouble with this was that the french division whose headquarters was quartered with us was trying to take up our training and trench warfare when we hadn't even been trained in squads left and right and were trying to get organized in supply. since many of the soldiers had only joined the division shortly before it sailed for france they still ne

army, and the way logistics, supplies, and alliances affected the army. the countless formative experiences marshall had do you think the war that influenced his efforts to modernize the u.s. army tended to fall into one of four main categories. preparedness, which includes the training and equipping of soldiers, alliance warfare, c h casualties, and morale. a good starting point for the examination of the preparedness of the u.s. army is the attack on cantini, the first american-led offensive of the war which began on may 28th, 1918. the 100th anniversary for this attack for which marshall was the chief planner will occur later this month. the cantini operation did not occur until 13 months after the u.s. declared war and 11 months after the division's first arrival in france. what caused the division to take nearly one year to join the fight? organizing the unit and bringing it up to full strength and, of course, training the soldiers. marshall appreciated as much as his fellow officers the importance of ensuring that soldiers received adequate training

the french army was evaporating. men from the 49th company and 25, the second division were all being trucked as quickly as possible along with the third division of the u.s. army into the vortex of battle to hold the line at all costs. these were the only reserve units at the time. they were in many cases super divisions. the u.s. divisions were twice the size of a french division , muchmetimes more, larger more larger than a german division. they were rushed to the front. as they were in their trucks or camions, they saw french civilians passing them by an french, french members of the army, throwing down weapons saying the war is over. these men pushed forward into the front, and it was here that lloyd williams from 25, the men set up behind parts of the french army near bella would. was made by colonel preston brown, chief of staff for the second division, the french wanted to immediately commit the marine corps and army piecemeal, thrust them into the line. he insisted they be able to dig in behind the french in

turned this house into union army headquarters an. the union army took good care of this house. this was their home and headquarters for almost five years. in the first week or two of occupation, things were different. officers and shoulders were coming and going. they were taking souvenirs. they were sleeping on the floors and chairs. it was chaotic the first couple of weeks. after thing settled down, this was lived in by a secession of u.s. army generals. virginia was remitted into the united states. this house went back to the city of richmond. the federal army left. the city sold everything in this house in 1870 and turned it into a school. this was a school for 20 years. that is when it suffered damage. not during the war, u.s. army occupation, but a school. the city wanted to tear it down being a years after school. it was saved by demolition by a group of women in town. a group originally formed as a hollywood memorial association preserving federal grace in hollywood cemetery's. these ladies reformed into the confederate memorial literary society. they took over the hous

trained washington's army at valley forge. he taught them how to march, how to stay in line, how to reload their musket. he taught them how to build late trins and run kitchens. he did it all in broken english. when the troops failed to follow orders, he would curse at them in german and french. one of the only english phrases he knew was squad halt. but in less than two months this gay man from prussia turned a ragtag group of guys with guns into a professional army. he helped create an identity, an order, a learned skill. among this group of soldier trainees to teach them how to fight and win the war. frederick von steuben served in the continental army until the end of the revolutionary war. he wrote a book. they called it the blue book because all he had to write on was blue paper which has since faded a bit. the u.s. army still uses portions of the blue book to teach new recruits to this very day. frederick von steuben from prussia is credited with creating america's professional army which is now the most powerful fighti

that says pakistan is not a state with an army it's an army with the states not says a lot but it's really hard to quantify i mean it's impossible to get proof of this we've talked to a lot of people who say the army is a huge factor but i mean short of talking to the army itself and they deny to interview requests it's incredibly difficult to quantify naomi what have been the main campaign issues though meanwhile. there's a lot of really important issues here that in the campaign aren't really being addressed that is the economic situation is terrible pakistan is running out of money there's a lot of poverty education here is a business model and also energy issues the energy system is really bad like there's environmental climate problems there there are huge problems that the country is facing including foreign policy and no one's really talking about it pakistan is very important in regional affairs the question of indian relations afghan relations but these are issues that aren't really being talked about another are incredibly important and let's highlight one of those issues

they also had to battle and fight the greatest army in the world at the time, the german army. but let me go back in time to 1970. -- 1917. when america went from an army of 220,000 regulars to an army of over 4 million strong at the end of the war. it's an extraordinary story of growth in a time of great need. and we mobilized. one part of the story is a forgotten story, and that is the story of the navy in world war i. the american navy in world war i. wilson had aident real threat on his hands. german boats were sinking american ships at an alarming rate. even before we entered world war i, there was a decision made to bring naval guards onboard merchant ships. to armed them with typically five inch guns and give the merchant ship a crew of about 15 naval personnel. these were known as naval guards. one of those individuals james delaney. was a tough irish men from as -- massachusetts, his body was inked. he had been serving since 18. his life was the navy and he was given command of a naval crew on the uss -- the ss compatible -- ss compana. their journey in the summer of 1

and in the armies that crack like the russian army and the italian army comes close to it, it is when you have failed to bring the guys in but take care of their needs, the expectations of a society that things start to rot. it's amazing that war nations don't break. >> if they have to have the episode, though, of firing squads? >> dr. faulkner: yes, in fact in april 1917, 50% of the divisions of the french army undergo what the french call collective discipline. what we call mutiny. i showed you that change in german doctrine. in verdun, the french believe they have got the answer and they figured out how to use the artillery and the german change the rules. in 1917, the french commander is basically promising the politicians and the soldiers that his offensive is going to break through the lines and end the war. when the french try their same old tricks against the new doctrine, the french soldiers lose massive amounts of men and basically lose heart. but, even after they lose heart, you go into collective -- the agreement of the soldier is we are not going to attack but we are also

the army believes it's binding on him. the military services decide somebody's not qualified to enlist in the military. if a person supposedly fail a background check they tell the person. they bring them in and say, it appears you failed a background check because you did the following thing, what do you have to say for yourself. in these cases, none of these people are being told why they failed. in fact, the commanders don't know why they failed. some of the people who supposedly failed these background checks recently received a promotion. got an award, there's nothing in their background or history to indicate that they did anything wrong. suddenly, they're receiving these discharge orders and being told that they failed a background check. >> it's a disturbing sotory, so close to the fourth of july. thank you for being here tonight and getting us information on this. >> thank you very much. and i appreciate you covering the story. >> thank you. >>> the trump administration, meanwhile, was back in federal court trying

perform every duty given me in the army to the best of my ability. he elaborated on this lesson years later. whenever i had convinced myself that my superiors through bureaucratic oversights and insistence on tradition had doomed me to run of the mill assignments, he wrote, i found no better cure than to blow off steam and settle down and do the job at hand. if promising opportunity presented itself in february 1918 when he was assigned to cape meade, maryland, to organize tank corps troops for deployment, the newly formed 301st battalion was to receive training and equipment in preparation for deployment. all of the men in the tank corps were volunteers. so they naturally exhibited a high level of morale and enthusiasm. they were perfect fit for eisenhower's temperament and his football-based training philosophy. no tanks existed, however. they were so new to the battlefield that in the united states tanks were largely an imaginative concept. but that did not deter eisenhower in any way. slotted to command this battalion overseas, he trained the sol

yes there's a saying that goes in pakistan it is pakistan is not a state with an army but an army with the state it is clear and that's what everyone says that the army here think credibly powerful it's run the country for hot more than half of its history and they do pull the strings journalists here talk of receiving and threatening phone calls when they give too much coverage to the wrong party there are a lot of red lines that they are not allowed to cover that are not allowed to talk about so the army is incredibly powerful but it's very difficult to say how powerful it's not as if we have proof and it's not as if the army would talk to us so it's a shadowy presence in the distance and the army is incredibly important in pakistan . in the pakistani capital islamabad thank you. u.s. president on tromping european commission chiefs. have reached a deal to ease tensions in their trade dispute both sides agreed to hold more talks in lower trade barriers and hold off on imposing targets on each other tension between the u.s. and europe had been high over washington's decision to set ta
