The Continental Army consisted of troops from all 13 colonies. When the American Revolutionary War began at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775, the revolutionaries in the Thirteen Colonies did not have an army. Previously, each colony of British America had relied upon the militia, made up of part-time civilian-soldiers, for local d...
In 1783, at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, a Congressional committee under Alexander Hamilton sought opinions on a permanent armed force. Washington submitted his "Sentiments on a Peace Establishment," which called for only a small force of only 2,631 men regiment to guard the western frontier and the borders with Canada and Florida. Econ...
War of 1812
The War of 1812, the second and last American war against the British, was less successful than the Revolution had been. An invasion of Canada failed due to the over-reliance of using state militias,[citation needed] and U.S. troops were unable to stop the British Army from burning the new capital of Washington, D.C. However, the Regular Army, under Generals Winfield Scott and Jacob Brown, proved they were professional and able to win tactical victories in the Niagara campaign of 1814. The na...
Westward Expansion
Between 1815 and 1860, the main role of the Army was control of Indians in the West, and manning coast artillery stations at major ports. Most of the forces were stationed on the frontier, or and coastal defense units near seaports. Transportation was a key issue and the Army (especially the Army Corps of Engineers) was given full responsibility for facilitating navigation on the rivers. The steamboat, first used on the Ohio River in 1811, made possible inexpensive travel using the river syst...
Seminole Wars
As the United States expanded westward, it also aimed to expand into Florida, both as a means to protect its southern border as well as to cut off an escape route for runaway slaves. This campaign resulted in the Seminole Wars in Florida. The First Seminole War was from 1814 to 1819, the Second Seminole War from 1835 to 1842, and the Third Seminole War from 1855 to 1858. While the majority of the Seminole ended up moving west onto reservations, some remained in Florida.
Chief of Staff
Elihu Root was United States Secretary of War under presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, 1899–1904. He reformed the organization of the War Department. He enlarged West Point and established the U.S. Army War College, as well as the General Staff. He changed the procedures for promotions and organized schools for the special branches of the service. He also devised the principle of rotating officers from staff to line. General Samuel Baldwin Marks Young became the first chief o...
Reorganization
In 1910, the U.S. Signal Corps acquired and flew the Army's first aircraft, the Wright Model Abiplane. The Maneuver Division was formed in San Antonio, Texas, in March 1911, to undertake offensive operations against Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. This was the United States' first attempt at modernizing the division concept. Major General Leonard Wood, then Army Chief of Staff, mobilized the division primarily to demonstrate to Congress that the United States was not adequately prepared...
World War I
A combined conscript and volunteer force, the National Army, was formed by the United States War Department in 1917 to fight in World War I. The National Army was formed from the old core of the regular United States Army, augmented by units of the United States National Guard and a large draft of able-bodied men. Moral standards, and the morale of the troops, was the concern of the Commission on Training Camp Activities. The Selective Service Act of 1917established the broad outlines of the...
