this was the main passage north out of manhattan that the british army used. this was a critical point to keep protected, as well as in british hands. the unit also took prisoners for exchange to the patriot lines, captured british deserters, and tried as much as we could to protect loyalist residents and their property. they were incredibly active in not just new york and west chester county but also connecticut and sometimes new jersey from late 1777 all the way to the fall of 1782, and probably at least 50 if not 100 different engagements over that time, and actions that probably didn't even warrant the term engagement, smaller actions. these may seem insignificant because we are used to hearing about a large pitched battles involving thousands and thousands of men, the formal british and american units, regular generals commanding and those more significant engagements. what was happening here in the county and surrounding areas were typically much smaller engagements, 150 man on both sides combined, not always strategic battles, sometimes just popping into

you'll hear about how the american army differed from the british military and demographics, organization and the officer selection process. this is about an hour. >> all, right we'll welcome everyone to another exciting adventure into the history of war. today, we've gone to the continental army so welcome to a lot of our new students watching from who knows where. so happy 40th birthday. so today, we're going to focus on the continental army and this is -- where situating this is very much in the broad history of war and the military. and the continental army in a lot of ways is different from other armies that preceded it. largely because it's one that's very much based on ideals, and certain concepts and beliefs, rather than sort of your traditional army. so, what is the continental army? what is it, first of all? >> america! >> america, okay. continental army based in america. it will become the first united states army but before it is the u.s. army, it is the army of? america, yes. but what element of it? certainly a part of the american revolution, specifically the united colonies

june 14th, 1775, taking the beginning of the army up in boston, that fought against the british already, making it the american army, and to me most importantly taking george washington to be the commander of that army. i think that is one of the most important decisions made in this room. if you think about the way this war will go for the young united states, it is eight and a half years. george washington, will be the only commanding general for all of those years. at the end, he will succeed. of, course back in 1775, they are still figuring out what they are fighting for. that leads to one last letter to the can. we call this when the olive branch petition. and again, like they had them before, start off with the idea that we are loyal british subjects voting for the rights. again, going, following the chain of command in britain to the king to ask that he assist us in rejecting these grievances. the other thing they are going to write is the declaration, the declaration of the causes are necessities of taking up arms. these things are written in july. again, it is essentially putti

it was so costly to the british army. now, when i ask you a question, let's see, who knows the answer here? who commanded the continental army at the bottle of bunker hill? looks like william press caught his winning. , a wait until we get to about 50 and then i'll start up again. okay, so it looks like the majority of us say israel putnam and then it's william press caught and then george washington. while, it's kind of a trick question. but israel is the right answer. he was there and he was back on bunker hill of guiding the soldiers towards the front as best he could and trying to get some reinforcements for william press, caught as he could. but actually, at the battle, william is in charge of a command and in fact, george washington overall commanded the army. artemis ward commanded the army in reality on the ground, which is three days earlier. the continental congress had actually declared the united armies of the colonies as the continental army and placed george washington in charge. why was he in charge before

it was so costly to the british army. and when i ask you a question and let's see, who knows the answer here. who commanded the continental army at the battle of bunker hill? it looks like israel putnam and way in prescott are winning. wait until we get to about 50 and then we'll all start up again. okay. so it looks like the majority of us say israel putnam and then it's way in prescott, and then artemis war and george washington. well, it's kind of a trick question. but israel putnam is the wrong answer he was there and he was back on bunker hill a guiding the soldiers towards the front as best he could and trying to get as many reinforcements for prescott for william prescott as he could. but actually at the battle william prescott is in charge of the of the command in the redout, but in fact both artemis ward and george washington overall commanded the army artemis ward commanded the army in in reality on the ground, but just three days earlier the continental congress had actually declared the united armies of the co

as well as royal marines, this is how the british army is expected to operate in the future. new model army will require cuts elsewhere. the defence review�*s expected to see cuts to the number of tanks, armoured vehicles and troops. the regular army, already at its smallest in 400 years, could shrink from 80,000 to 70,000 soldiers. so the question. does size no longer matter? so i'd ask them to focus less on size and shape. i'd ask them to focus on the output. the lethality, the readiness, the resilience and the relevance of the force that is announced. because ultimately that's what our opponents will respect. the space abilities and cyber capabilities are above this classification. the armed forces believe its information, electronic and cyber warfare that will give them the edge in the future. the mod has been given an extra £16.5 billion over the next four years, but some of that money will have to fill a black hole in its budget. and there are still concerns the defence review will leave the ranks of the army depleted. we will find throughout the army there will be some

he cut the british army by10,000, he cut the number of tanks, he cut the number of planes for our rafnumber of ships for the royal navy. i say he, the prime minister did not have the courage to come to the house himself to say what he was doing. so let me ask the prime minister a simple question. going back to that promise before the election, did he ever intended to keep his promise to our armed forces? not only did we keep our promise in the manifesto, we actually increased spending by 14% more than the manifesto commitments, and again i think it's frankly satirical to be lectured about the size of the army when the shadow foreign secretary herself recently wrote that the entire british army should be turned into a kind of peace corps. and as i say, the leader of the opposition stood on the manifesto, or wanted to elect a leader who himself wanted to disband the armed services. this is a massive investment in our defences and in our future, and it's wonderful to hear that the new spirit ofjingo that seems to have enveloped the labour benches, they don't like it up �*em. he raised fu
