 US and Coalition 2001
U.S. forces were currently directing 80% of their sorties against targets in northern Afghanistan.
Rear Admiral John D. Stufflebeem denied that U.S. forces were making any special effort to coordinate their attacks with the Northern Alliance, but said that U.S. planes had begun patrolling designated "engagement zones" in search of mobile targets, and were "flex-targeting" adjacent areas if nothing appeared in a designated zone.
The U.S. Mission at the UN rejected a French proposal to seek Security Council condemnation of the anthrax attacks in the United States on the grounds that there was no clear proof that the attacks were of foreign origin.

 UNITED STATES ARMY : Encyclopedia Entry
The United States Army is the branch of the United States armed forces that has primary responsibility for land-based military operations.
Although the present-day Army exists as an all volunteer force, augmented by Reserve and National Guard forces, measures exist for emergency expansion in the event of a catastrophic occurrence, such as a large scale attack against the US or the outbreak of a major global war.
However, the US Army considers itself to be an evolution of the Continental Army, and thus dates its inception from the origins of the Continental Army.

 Torture, Racism, & the Sovereign President
The torture debate is about the Pentagon’s and the White House’s cover-up of the massive war crimes committed by members of the U.S. armed forces and CIA against Afghanis and Iraqis.
The 17,000 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan reportedly turned virtually the entire country into one huge secret prison in which military guards and CIA interrogators inflicted gratuitous pain on the bodies of individual Afghani captives who are held incommunicado without charge or trial, according to a March 19, 2005 report in the Guardian.
U.S. soldiers, CIA agents (“case officers”), and mercenaries (“civilians”) working for privatized military firms under contract to the Pentagon, are known to have sadistically tortured large numbers of them while having their deeds photographed and filmed so that they could be seen by friends back home.

 Report: U.S. Arms Transfers and Security Assistance to Israel - World Policy Institute - Research Project
The use of U.S. weapons in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian authority appears to be a clear violation of the U.S. Arms Export Control Act prohibiting U.S. weapons from being used for non-defensive purposes.
The State Department report also stated that Israeli military "shelled Palestinian Authority (PA) institutions and Palestinian civilian areas in response to individual Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians or settlers." These comments demonstrate that the U.S. knows that weapons are not being used for the "legitimate defense" purposes stipulated in the Arms Export Control Act.
Two employees of the United Nations were wounded and a UN facility was damaged in the attack, prompting condemnation of the action from UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

 Day of Defeat
The basic premise of the weapon was to arm rear-echelon troops (normally only armed with pistols, if anything) who could not be bothered to carry heavier rifles and machineguns.
US military forces had no official sniper rifle at the beginning of the war.
The weapon wasn't as easy or cheap to manufacture, however, and was eventually replaced by other weapons late in the war.

 GAVINs IN RECENT COMBAT!
From rifles, mortars, semiautomatic and automatic weapons, and recoilless rifles at the company level to powerful rockets, missiles, and artillery in the support commands, more efficient instruments of war were fashioned to increase the firepower of the combat forces.
Although all the combat arms were affected by the adoption of the ROAD concept, the doctrine for the employment of tank forces was the least affected by these changes.
Fortunately, today, U.S. Army officers are being led by world events to rediscover the capabilities and enduring design requirements of the mighty M113A3 which now serves with the U.S. Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade in Europe as a C-130 air-transportable rapid-reaction force.

A firearm is a kinetic energy weapon that fires either a single or multiple projectiles propelled at high velocity by the gases produced by action of the rapid confined burning of a propellant.
They are primarily defensive weapons, mainly because of the difficulty involved in moving and placing them, though light machine guns (such as the US military's M249 Squad Automatic Weapon) often are wielded by a single infantryman in a typical squad; they provides large volumes of fire typically used for suppression and cover.
