Throughout the war history the two different sides of war are often referred to by the different colors.War uniforms are tradition and are different in different countries but serve the same purpose. Unlike school uniforms, military uniforms have insignias to clarify the different ranks. In World War II, the U.S army and the Japanese army had two very different uniforms with distinct badges and marks. Japan had many different models of uniforms used for war. During world war 2 they wore model 90 and 98. Each of these uniforms have winter and summer versions. Some of the older versions are still worn today by some soldiers and they are a mustard color with a stand up collar while the newer version is a deep olive color and the collar
The United States Army has been a leader in military prowess on the world stage since its inception in 1775, and with such a record, it is reasonably assumed that there must be solid foundation within the organization working to maintain the high level of performance. The Noncommissioned Officer Corps is one institution within the Army that serves as a large portion of this foundation that makes it the fighting force that it has always been, and the noncommissioned officers have been an integral piece since the very inception of the Army. The Prussian General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, organizer of the Noncommissioned Officer Corps, encapsulated this idea when he coined the noncommissioned officer (NCO) as the backbone of the Army. (Arms, 1991) In an Army that is continuously adjusting to world around it while maintaining its status as the military leader to all other nations, the Noncommissioned Officer Corps has always provided the platform for continuity through a growing rank system based on its original core, an evolving training program to develop effective leaders, and a creed that moves us forward while remembering the rich history of the corps that came before us.
The 84th Infantry Division lineage dates back to as early as 1917. In the early years, it was known as the “Lincoln Division”, made up of units primarily from Illinois, Kentucky, and Indiana. During WWI, the Lincoln Division provided replacements for other units, but saw no combat as a division. They were inactivated January 1919, and reactivated in October 1942.1 The 84th Infantry Division was made up of: three infantry regiments, four field artillery battalions, one engineering combat battalion, one medical battalion, one signal battalion, one light maintenance company, one quartermaster company, and a recon troop. The division was comprised of about 16,000 men in 1943.2
Secondly, a new belt for the utility uniform is currently being implemented. The belts represent the individual Marine’s status in Martial Arts training. The “rigger’s belt” will be worn in five different colors: Tan, Grey, Green, Brown, and Black. The Marine has an option to don a new color once training for that level has been completed.
World War II may have been the focus of the decade, but music was the focus of the war. Songs ranged from patriotic songs to songs for fun and dancing such as the Rumba, mambo, cha-cha, and conga line. These South American dances became very popular during the 1940s especially among the women (Popular and Social Dance). The war was a very emotional period for everyone, not just the soldiers, so the music of the war tapped into a lot of emotions. The songs were made for people to help get through their rough times.
Japan lasted from 1185-1603. During that time Japan had emperors, shoguns, daimyos, samurai, and peasants who were all apart of a social class, and all together it was called the Samurai Society. The emperor was just a figurehead for the shogun. The shogun was a powerful military leader that ruled in the emperor’s name. Daimyo were powerful landlords. The daimyo often led armies of samurai. These samurai were trained professional warriors who served daimyo and shoguns. The samurai had to follow a certain code of rules for samurai called Bushido. One of their rules included to always have self-discipline to become a good samurai. The samurai warriors wore light armor, helmets (usually shaped like an animal), and had two swords around their waist. Their armor had a lot of detail and color to it, like their unique helmets. After the samurai comes the peasants, which included farmers and fishermen. They usually always work, then pay takes to the shogun. They usually gave the shogun what they earned from working like food or crops. What made their jobs a bit difficult was their topography. Japan’s topography included many mountains, undersea volcanoes, and barely any flat land to farm on. The Japanese didn’t only work they also practiced their religion. For example, they practiced Confucianism, Buddhism (...
The British Army and World War I In October 1915 the Derby Scheme was introduced; all men had to register and they were put into categories of age, marital status and occupation, under this scheme the young, unmarried and unskilled men were enlisted. In 1916 conscription was properly introduced in Britain to increase the size of the army. (b) During the course of the First World War, Britain was geared towards the aim of winning the war. Women of all social classes were involved in the war effort.
Accordingly, different classes end up having different colours for essentially everything that they wear or use.
The roles of military leaders in World War II were very important. Some important leaders were Omar Bradley, Dwight D. Eisenhower, George Marshall, and George Patton. These leaders played a strong role in the war.
The men of the 714th Tank Battalion served their country in its greatest time of need. A key element of the 12th Armored Division, the 714th fought in harsh conditions against a desperate German enemy for five consecutive months, driving the Nazi Armies from France and back into the German heartland.
There are many militaries throughout the world but the US Military is seen as the most professional and capable military in the world. We are perceived this way due to our rules and regulations that have branched from our fundamental principles and doctrine. Uniformity is one of our leading regulations in the military. Uniformity is what makes the military have a professional image. It is the basis of our instructions and regulations concerning the dress and appearance of our military personnel. Recently however, the Pentagon has decided that it is more important to accommodate certain groups of people then to have a professional and uniform military. On January 22nd 2014 the Pentagon passed a new policy that is easing up on the existing regulations by allowing beards, turbans, headscarf’s, tattoos and piercings of religious nature to be worn while in uniform (Pellerin, 2014). This new policy has started a heated debate about whether this is a good idea or not. I myself believe that this policy should not be allowed because it is undermining basic military values, lowering our standards on regulations, and it is a start to a new undesirable military force.
What is the most heated debate in America’s education? School uniforms are one of the most heated debates. School uniforms are not suitable for the cold winter months, the girls who have to wear skirts will be cold. They don’t teach children how to deal with people who are different, they only teach children that in order to get along everyone must be the same. With so much stress about getting good grades and getting everything done on time, we shouldn’t have to deal with the stress of uniform (“I believe”). School uniforms should not be worn at school because of these main reasons: confidence is hard to find in an ugly uniform, parents waste more money on buying clothes for after school, and if a person violates the uniform code the consequence is detention.
...ts and images from the armies of the time period, those descriptions are correct. One interesting thing portrayed in the movie is the use of netting on the helmet, now, why is this important? Conflicts in the pacific theater were often in bright, tropical locations, so what didn’t help the Japanese? The uniforms, so how do they fix this? With the netting, on the helmets, the netting provided a reducement of glare on the tan helmet, as well as allowing them to place flora (leaves mainly) into the netting to provide a more natural look and provide camouflage when hiding. Snipers were always a constant annoyance in the forests, this helped the Japanese immensely. Small details such as this really add to the immersion in the movie and keeps you entertained; but every story also needs a meaning, this movie has one that makes one realize how war can create false mindsets.
Uniforms provide students with school uniqueness. Students will stand out in field trips and other school activities feeling a sense of belonging. A bond will then form and unite more students together.
Imagine a world where there was no organization, and it can be related to a public school. Imagine a world with no violence and gangs and class separation, and you can relate it to a parochial or private school. This is quite possibly due to the fact that the private and parochial schools use uniforms. Public schools have recently stepped up to their 'A' game around the country by implementing a new dress code. This dress code involves the required clothing in uniforms, which for a boy may include, a blazer, a polo shirt, a tie, khaki pants and dress shoes; and for a girl, a polo shirt with a plaid skirt, white socks and dress black shoes. This type of attire in school puts students in the mindset for future life, while making them feel as if they are accomplishing a great deal. While uniforms were first used in England as a source to ostracize poor children who could not afford attire, their purpose has changed drastically over the past century to represent the complete opposite then their origination. The use of uniforms have been par...
First and foremost, school uniforms are a representation of the student body, school, and community. They create an identity, while showing respect to the school. Ultimately school uniforms promote school spirit. Similar to how sports teams promote unity and spirit, school uniforms unite the student body as one. For example, when we see the maple leaf worn by our proud athletes in Sochi, especially when they win gold, we as Canadians feel proud to be represented on the grandest stage of them all, the Olympics. Uniforms are a symbol that “unite and create an identity for the school in the community; as a result create an atmosphere of belonging” (TheGuardian.com). This demonstrates the essence of unity created by school
