experiences over the years promote better skills and advancement in technology for a quality

military services. B. The history about world was and the current Cold war has transformed

because of the changes and improvement of US military in terms of equipment and also nuclear

after 1945, where soldiers had significantly better experiences. C. The military history of the

United States is well-documented, but World War I and World War II receive the bulk of the

attention (Hindley, 2017). 1. A.US military successes following World War II include the decision

to abolish enlistment and particularly during the Vietnam War, in the 1960's and '70s and challenge

of hybrid warfare emerged (Stavrids, 2021). B. B. During the 1960s and 1970s, the draft was a

frequently discussed issue in American society due to the Vietnam War (Serafino, 2017). C. The

transformation that include eliminating enlisting of US military and promote more of voluntary to

services has improved the performance of the military over the years and the availability of modern

equipment like advent of Abrams makes it deliver better (Stavrids, 2021). 2 A. There is little doubt

that all-out battles, regardless of how disparate the capabilities of the competing parties or

adversaries are in terms of human, economic, social and political losses, can be extremely costly.

B. The war in Afghanistan and Iraq has been in existence for a long period of time but the nature

of the war is dynamically changing (Bilal, 2021). C. The current status of the war is that

Afghanistan and Iraq is using the hybrid warfare against the United States that include

misinformation putting US in a tough position where the world judge the decisions made in the

war resulting to recent US withdrawing their military from Afghanistan (Bilal, 2021). 3.

Throughout the decades following World War II, the scientific and technological legacy of the

conflict was profound and the main developed war technology is nuclear (Hindley, 2017). A.

Nuclear technology from World War II was repurposed in the decades following the end of the

war when it caused serious damage and deaths in Nagasaki and Hiroshima (Hindley, 2017). B.

The wartime technology advances has transformed the world today including the US military

contributing to their success because there are countries that have invested in nuclear but

understand the damage it causes limiting the use of it. C. The US military successes is associated

with better innovations and technology in different sectors including information and research that

promote better emergencies and treatment during war injuries (Hindley, 2017). 4. Today, the US

military benefits from radar, a meteorological technology developed during World War II and

further developed to meet military weather requirements, which has boosted the military's ability

to plan operations. A. There has been a rise in the usage of radar in the study of the weather

(Hindley, 2017). During World War II, radar was first utilized in weather research. B. Forecasters

were able to better comprehend and anticipate future weather conditions thanks in part to radar

technology. C. By the 1950s, radar had established itself as a critical tool for meteorologists to

monitor rainfall and storm systems, allowing them to better watch and prepare for daily weather

changes helping their decisions to handle bush and land operations (Hindley, 2017). 5. As

technology advances, the United States' military has shown an immense change and the continuity

of warfare where more effort has moved to cybercrimes and demands for better skills for US

military (Serafino, 2017). A. Multipurpose computers, developed since 1945 and used to combat

cyber terrorism, have helped make the cyber force a resounding accomplishment (Serafino,

2017).B. Based on the changes and transformation, various training techniques has been

introduced to meet the demands and this include the rifle combat tactics that is critical for US

current military equipment and information technology training to meet cybersecurity aspects

(Serafino, 2017). C. The technology advances is doing good for the US military in improving their

intention of the 1950 war was to spread communism that US was against it (Bilal, 2021). C. The

struggle to stop communism spread forced US to counter. US military learned on ways of engaging

with allies that would be beneficial during war by supporting peace missions to build friendship.

In conclusion, the advancement of the technology in terms of information access, GPS for location

purposes, training and having better combat gear and equipment led to the success of the US

military after 1945. The US military had better experience after 1945 that was advancing and better

results is achieved after every improvement. The advancement of technology and military

experience are making the US military a better force handling more complex situations.
