LEARNING ABOUT MILITARY PARTS, WARFARE TACTICS AND MORE…

Thrilling, engaging and demystifying! I enjoyed watching “Lord of War” just this weekend. I got interested in the movies when I started asking questions where those military parts being used by our armed forces come from. The more interest I got when I learned of an important lesson from my military history class. According to Perston (1997) as cited by Mancher (2003), the study of military history has almost always been undertaken as a mean of learning lessons for a future conduct of operations. Military history has shed light on the different behavioural aspects of nations dealing with other states of the world. The author added that the study of narratives of campaigns requires background knowledge not merely of the history of weapon development and of army organization but also of political, economic and social history. Similarly, the study of warfare must include enquiry into the social and technical changes which have affected it. Without these wider investigations military history by itself is of little value.
So, our questions regarding military warfare, military tactics and logistics are only an icing of the cake in the more elaborate field of military history. War can be made a policy—a policy of defense for the protection of peace and sovereignty rather than subjugation and repression. It is interesting to trace the development of military armaments since the Greek civilization up to the present. Perhaps, there is a great difference as to the military parts and tactics. The warfare tactics and weapons used may be different but the principles of warfare remain the same.
