army. the heritage foundation hosted the event looking at defense technology, personnel management, military funding and threats posed by russia and china. this is just over an hour. >>> all right, i think we'll get started here. thank you so much for joining us here at the heritage foundation, release of a major paper, which will be the focus. i was told we don't necessarily have to talk about silencing cell phones. we have a robust online audience, and, you know distractions, we want to minimize that here. thank you for joining us here. we're going to talk about a new report on rebuilding the army. it's one of a series, actually the third paper that's out. the first one talked about how to think about the future, the one released one on the marine corps, this is a major paper on the army and how to think about its relationship with the imperatives of the national defense strategy, national security strategy, how the world is changing, and some recommendations for what the army needs to be

i saw a lot of this in the army when i was on the army staff. we tend to put especially army general officers into positions for which they have no experience. sometimes that's ok. for example, you can put a former army brigade commander in command of an army division, and he knows it. he's got it. he has watched his boss operate, he knows how the movie ends. if you take a former army brigade commander and you make him in charge of army modernization, or you put him in charge of a cross functional team responsible for managing finance andand the the requirements and the acquisition of a category of equipment, that is a task for which he or she has had no preparation. yet we throw them into the pool. when i was in sixth grade my swimming teacher through me to -- threw me to the deep end of the pool. they figured i would figure it out. that's what we do with our army general officers. it's not related to modernization, but i will give you an example. in the last two commanders of army recruiting command, which presumably is a key and essential pos

department of the army. we went and looked at ourselves and said how do reduce the time spent? because it really was a business problem. how do we make an informed decision, an informed decision with speed. over the time of this process, we realized we had to put an enterprise or organization leading this effort. we created an armies futures command. a four -star entity putting it n par with other commands. and what this organization does is it fuses futures and concepts, combat development and then dotted line combat systems in the acquisition community working shoulder to shoulder with them. so, with all of the problems that we've had, particularly, with the army's challenges from technology development over the last several decades, the requirements, definition and the discipline of sticking with requirements. you have to make up your mind very quickly, and stick with it. and then develop a technological road map where you can cycle in new increments of capability over time. but you had to have the same t

army, it is the army of america, yes. certainly part of the american revolution specifically and the united colonies. so when the continental army begins it's not necessarily the start of the revolution and we'll begin the story in the beginning of the war. a couple of classes ago we were talking about the french and indian war, and the french and indian war was a war that's fundamentally altered several different nations that have come early and france moved from the north american colony and many americans have fought alongside british soldiers and british officers during the war and does anyone recall what the two things that transpired when the group interacted? [ inaudible ] >> okay. in a lot of ways the british are looking down on the colonists for a number of reasons and that was having to do with tactics and a lack of formal military training and some of it had to do with how they dress and we know there's resistance and there's also a large aspect over who holds the higher rank, and was it a colonial officer outr

prior to the continental army and those after the continental army. we see sort of ideological focus. we see it again later in the french revolution as well but we still see in the french revolution the rise of napoleon. we still see these failings. we still see revolutions and civil wars that fall to these strong men and generals that seize power but it's washington, the first to do it. and one of the few individuals to actually do it at all. let's end there for today and thanks everyone for coming. >> all week, we're featuring american history tv programs as a preview of what's available every weekend on c-span3. artifacts, real america, the civil war, oral histories, the presidency, and special event coverage about our nation's history. enjoy american history tv now and every weekend on c-span3. >> queen elizabeth has agreed to suspend parliament for five weeks at the request of prime minister boris johnson. asked for the suspension as the uk continues to work out a brexit deal before the october 31st deadline. members of parliament will have quest

tullahoma campaign is fought between the army of the william stark r rose krants, 70,000 men and army of n, the tennessee under the command of general braxton bragg. see the different corps that they're deployed with. rosekrants will take the cal operation.to the under gordon granger, alexander court.'s 20th 's rge thomas's and tommy core. ragg for his part has two infantry corps under polk and william j. hardy plus cavalry joe wheeler and some other elements. some very prominent people here. a lot of them are familiar with each other. ways this is the second round in the series of battles rosekrantz in middle tennessee, southeastern northern georgia through the late fall of 1862 through the fall of 1863. this is round two in many ways between the two. the story of tullahoma. we have to understand the fought andwhich it's the continuum in which it's fought. it's part mber that of a continuum of the story of that particular campaign. lot of times when you look at campaign histories, oh, it starts this day and ends this that ut you often forget what has gone before sometimes overshadows

the federal army, the enemy. the army of the cumberland. you have to watch them. they're going to advance at some point and you're going to fight another battle with them. but who is into loma? -- who is in tullahoma? where is the army of tennessee headquarters? it's tullahoma. so what hardy and polk are saying, we have two enemies. we have an enemy in the front, but we have an enemy in the rear as well, our ostencible boss, braxton bragg. we will talk more about that as -- these seeds are bearing bitter fruit, and they will bear bitter fruit as the campaign progresses, and we will talk more about that as we get closer. over in murphreesboro, all is not well with the united states forces either. after january 1860 three, doesn't move out of murphreesboro in force, although -- he will sendvar cavalry and parties here and there. sometimes they get the better of the confederates, others times they don't. they will be in that area, and they don't move until june 1863. how does that look in washington, by the way? second largest army in the federal service doesn't move

for the army moving forward. are you confident that west point is providing the kind of advanced training to meet the future threats that these officers will face? >> it is remarkable, how the west point education for our officers, and the experiences that they get, i've been there for years on the hudson. i think one of the things that secretary esper and the general worked really hard on was the summer experience. working hard on the fundamentals of troop bleeding at the platoon level. so we made some changes there. we are also looking at how we are integrating them with rotc, so we sent 40 kiss cadets last summer. we will scale that over the next two years where we can get five or 600 cadets to go down over the course of a summer and integrate the officer corps. the education is very strong at the academy, but in particular, cyber is much sought after. mos. so we are making adjustments to increase sophistication in the classroom, but also really drill down into the fundamentals of troop bleeding, so they becom

armies. if there are men who had previously held the classification under law of enslaved, they have, by this point, escaped from their masters, they have come into a u.s. refugee camp of the sort that amy taylor described yesterday, and then they have enlisted in the u.s. army as regular men, so they are no different from white soldiers in that capacity. once they're in the union army, there are no slaves in the union army, so the confederacy has to recognize that. that being said, the confederate army, like the u.s. army, is enormously decentralized, and in many interactions with black soldiers across the south, atrocities are committed and black men are refused the opportunity to surrender, and this happens famously at fort pillow. i have a fort pillow image coming up later. sorry. it happens at fort pillow, poison spring, it happens at plymouth in north carolina. it happens in saltville in virginia, at the crater. we heard a little bit about this yesterday, about the battle that transpire

if confirmed as secretary the of the army will continue to champion the army strategy condition with an emphasis on readiness modernization and reform. it is only through the care for people that these priorities will be achieved. i'm encouraged by their retention numbers as a measure performance. and if i 19 the army met over 100% of our retention goals and we are in track to achieve a revised goal without dilution and quality. confirmed i intend to ensure our soldiers and families have the resources to thrive. this includes quality and safe housing reliable health care and access to childcare, taking care of the force leads to a better quality of life. retention of world-class soldiers and ultimately improve readiness. i'm equally committed to the prevention of sexual assault and harassment in our formation which tears at the very fabric of our institution. leadership at every level must build a team of teams, protecting our brothers and sisters to our left and right reinforcing there's no place for suicide and sexual assault and harassment in our army. if confirmed the army leader

the army's the army is that cheg recruitment goals as the only cause causes remain focus on quality of soldiers. if you're confirmed i trust you will closely monitor the situation. ambassador barrett, if confirmed you'll face a number of critical issues confronting the department of the air force. you will be leading air force during a major transition that the air force and guidance to salvage a spaceport. doing this curricula great influence on our ability to challenge near-peer competitors. the air force has been involved overseas since 9/11 and has been waiting under the day today strains under the high tempo. given concerns about supporting the readiness of our deployed and nondeployed forces, the next sectors efforts of managing improvements to the force and supporting structure will be critical. it seems to me the secretary sey should be focusing on improving readiness of the existing force. in addition to improving readiness, the next secretary must focus on modernization. over a number of years may seem to have expressed concerns about the size and relative modernization of th

managing the ones the primary eastern army. it meant that he could not immediately, unconditionally accept his thoughts. obviously the union army dictated many of his actions, loyal and frank, jackson first endeared himself to lead as a military professional who can effortlessly follow his intent and achieve operational objectives, sometimes late but never failing the general earned lee's respect for his performance in the cedar run, and sharpsburg campaign and ensuring his lackluster performance in the seven days was viewed as an anomaly. even then however, he began to confer regularly with lee and started the process of building personal trust. that trust in turn was buoyed by issue devotion to evangelical protestants on. although approaching their christianity on different perspectives, jackson's unswerving adherence to god's laws and spreading of the gospel among his troops made a strong impression upon the deeply religiously who by the winter of 1862 - 1863 was attending worship this with jackson. tucker lacey, an old frie

it was the french army alongside the american army. they went up to the south and france, they got across from germany and turned. the other ones who went into southern germany and headed to munich and czechoslovakia and east. >> i know a brilliant young jenna -- graduate student who is writing an article on that. ike didn't want the liberation of paris. he did not want to have to seize the city and then be responsible for it. what would have happened in the war if those resources had gone monty andton and pushing east? >> i am not in operations expert. me that the american army and the allied forces were reaching the end. they were running out of supplies. the decision.e most historians think it was correct. at this point the war is so , i am not sure the turning points are this fine. eisenhower did not want to take paris. there is an american way of war. been.ionally it has they are not interested in territory. where is the enemy army? i want to smash it. the other political stuff will take care of itself. this is why churchill tore

the army corps has been a great partner in this process. we achieve the first milestone last december and we are projecting that we would arrive at a tentatively selected plan in september of 2021. we would have complete environmental clearance for the project through this effort. the army corps is currently going up its chain of command to seek authorization for a more expensive study that will take more time. typically the army corps does a $3 million study within three years with a broad recognition that this is a complicated urban waterfront, a big expense that we are looking at, it will cost more and take more time to do the proper kind of study. we are in alignment with the army corps at the district level and making that request. so turning to the proposed contract amendment, there's a lot of work that we are undertaking here. we need resources to be able to conduct that work. the proposed contract would be a 20 million-dollar amendment to a base contract of approximately $40 million. we are projecting 30% l.b.e. participation in the

operating with a small army in the midst of three other armies. stonewall jackson can operate independently and he does and keeps all those union armies there. george mcklemmen amasses the largest army in the republic. the army of the potomac. he brings them down to this place, fort monroe, the oldest stone fort in america. you can go stand right there and they're going to have a mighty union force assembling at this place. in the meantime, this whole force assembles, the confederates try to block that subterfuge,rough through theatrics. a guy named mcgruder. eventually the confederates give up yorktown. the union pushes closer to washington -- richmond, the confederate capital. pintsible battle at seven or fair oaks battle in is fought among twin houses along the williamsburg road that. -- that slows down the union for a while but the most consequential thing in 1862, is that the confederate commander joe johnston will be put out of action resulting in jefferson davis putting in his third most ranking gentle, rocket e. lee. everybody thought held

admirably ased under secretary of the army. will ensure the army continues to innovate. as under secretary, you work with the secretary and the senior leadership to establish teams focused on the major modernization priorities. as well as establishing the command as a single command for all modernization efforts. i would ask you share what you have learned from these efforts. edgeering cutting abilities to our war fighters. a modernized military platform. this will be pointless if they do not have the training necessary to prevail on the such,field read as readiness remains the priority. hope you mccarthy, i will share what you can do to ensure readiness. the success is dependent on the men and women in uniform. the army has had challenges meeting recruitment goals. the army should focus on the quality rather than quantity. senator mccarthy, -- secretary -- you will believe be leading the air force transition as the air force transition as the air force during a major transition institutes guidance establishing the space force. doing this correctly will have great influe

[applause] thank you. give my presentation, i want to give you a little background about the seventh virginia infantry regiment. that is how it started out. it was recruited in the summer and fall of 1861, primarily from the north central part of west virginia. let me bring up a map. north-central west virginia, and also monroe county, ohio and ring county, pennsylvania. greene county is here, monroe county is here. the recruiting area is basically t

now let's set up our army. as far as the chain of command is concerned and this is all ultraimportant, no matter what, always follow the chain of command. don't jump. that's rule of thumb there. all right. at the very top is going to be the continental congress. they are supreme. they are the ones we answer to. it would be nice if they would supply us, but, you know, we'll work on that. but going back to advantages and disadvantages, congress doesn't really know what they are doing. they signed a declaration of independence, wou independence, woo-hoo, a list of what they can do, print money but not raise taxes. that can be a real problem here. this is where we start with the civil military complex. military answers to the government is the way it works here. this is where it starts. just below him is going to be your commanding general. who is that? geor george. who deserves his own holiday, can i just say that? the man is awesome in so many ways. george is going to get the job in june of '75, we already talked

army. japanese soldiers kept diaries. they were not trained to clam up the way that they were an in for when they were killed, they could be captured and so thousands of them were captured, translated by the translators and deep in the archives pretty remarkable stories to be found. so the book, as jessica indicated, strikes through the end of 1943 and it's certainly a combat comical but it's more than that. it is this feeling with all of the foibles of this thing, combat leadership, incredible did you see the army default from this provincial force things that give meaning to the story and give us things to learn from all these years later. example, i indicated this a moment ago, but it foretells it's pretty much all of subsequent american force the way they will be fought from korea for the 21st century against opponents who largely recognized as americans would have understood them under the geneva convention, and then in turn from the pacific war and onward through today are then strugg

first, the entire army. he was a man who had high hopes for defeating the south quickly. this young napoleon had a huge ego, and even bigger complex. he turned out to be better at organizing and trading in army that he did at fighting with it. he brought about 22 washington from the chicago detectives, he recruited more from the army and other sources and soon was operating on $6500 a month budget which is a lot of money back then. he used the cover name, bj allen and paul hip his communications. he refused the finance officers the names of the operatives. he recruited them to collect information. infiltrated spies, he spent lengthy intelligence reports on what the spies found and succeeded in apag confederate aa in washington. he ended up being in the military intelligence officer, they had no military training or experience but needed to effectively evaluate intelligence on men in the army. they were basically amateurs of war. the detectives were slowly working places until they had enough evidence to arre

now let's set up the army. as far as the chain of command is concerned -- and this is all ultraimportant. those dsh from the military. know abalways follow the chain of command. don't jump that. that's just rule of thumb. at the very top is the continental congress. they are sprem. they are the ones we answer to. it would be nice if they would supply us. but, you know, we'll work on that. but, going back to advantages and disadvantages, congress really doesn't know what they are doing. they signed a declaration of independence, woo hao. but as far as the powers are concern, extremely limited. we had our list of what the second continental congress could do, print money but not raise taxes. so, yeah, that could be a real problem here. but this is where we start with the whole civil military complex. military answers to the government is the way it works here. all right. this is where it starts. just below him is going to be your commanding general. and for us, who is that? george, yes. who deserves his own holid

both armies are called the army of the potomac in 1861. and will say confederate union armies. just know they are both the army of the potomac. mcclellan will start the organizing these forces are soldiers waiting for orders. our next slide is one of those union soldiers. this is charles bail from the pennsylvania reserve. he will fight at dranesville. he and his comrades in the had beennia reserves formed, the state of pennsylvania had raised too many soldiers. have too many people. the war will be over in 30 days or 90 days, wherever it is. but the governor of pennsylvania has the great idea of turning them into a reserve corps. that's a good thing because after the defeat at bull run, what do they need? more people? you get these pictures off boxcars and cattle cars bringing all of these soldiers from harrisburg down to washington to read so the defenses of washington are getting buffed up a little bit. again, he will fight at the battle of dranesville. summer, see by late early fall, the basic dispositions. you will see the union army has essentially created a buffer around
