From the earliest days of man, creative uses for animals have arisen. Since the time of them Mongolian chief Timur and Sultan Muhmad Khan, many military uses have been created. These creative ideas are still created today, now modern day countries find many uses of animals such as monkeys, seals, dolphins, goats, elephants, and other animals in the military.

Whales communicate with other individuals in their species by vocalizations; they use sonar much more than sight to find their food, families, and directions. The frequency that both whales and the military use falls between “100 and 500 Hz. Whales send signals out between 160 and 190 Db, the Navy has
year due to an excessive use of sonar. Military passive sonar (sound navigation and ranging) is killing and causing whales to avoid their major feeding and breeding grounds while temporarily deflecting from the high frequency sound coming from this unknown source. This event is raising hell in the political sector. Scientists have found many similarities between all the beached whales that have been in the same area that military sonar was being used. Military sonar is affecting the life of whales
Military War cause and effect All living things need the resources provided by our natural world to live, leading to them adapting to specific environments.

Currently, approximately 203,000 military members, or 14.5 % of the military, are women. Still, some have doubts about how useful they can be.

In 1794, the French Committee of Public Safety developed a “Corp d’ Aerostiers” also known as a military balloon that was initially created to make it easier to scrutinize the enemy.

On the contrary, however, Arizona -especially Yuma-, is a beautiful place that has invaluable history with the Native American tribes in the area and military history going back to WWII with General Patton and his troops with the Yuma Proving Grounds and Yuma Air Station.
