Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Militia: A History of the Origin and Development of the Force The remarkable progress made by Canada during the past eight or ten years in the development of her natural resources, in the extension of her domestic industries and in the expansion of her internal and foreign commerce, has been accompanied by a development of wholesome national military spirit and by an expansion of the defensive force of the Dominion just as noteworthy and unquestionably just as essential to the continued prosperity and happiness of the inhabitants of the Dominion as a people. The sound, sober military spirit which permeates the loyal and patriotic population of Canada is unquestionably one of the most valuable assets of this great country. History proves beyond all cavil that the continued possession of a sterling military spirit is absolutely essential to-the preservation of the liberty, the material prosperity, the higher standards of moral and religious life, and the true happiness of nations. Ancient empires like Assyria, Babylonia, Egypt, Phoenicia and Lydia, only succumbed when the virile military spirit which had established their prosperity and glory was extinguished. When the Lydians, during a momentary revival of national military spirit, endeavored to throw off the Persian yoke, Cyrus(559-531 B.C.) decided that the subjugation of the proud race should be crushing and final. He did not lay the rebellious country waste nor put its people to the sword. The Lydians were fabulously rich, so much so that the name of their king Croesus to this day stands as a synonym for vast wealth. Cyrus, who combined the wisdom of a philosopher with the skill and courage of a mighty conqueror, decided that the national wealth of the Lydians coupled with the obliteration of the military spirit prevailing among them should be made to work the nations death. They were deprived of their arms and all trophies and monuments recalling past military glories. They were forbidden to practice military evolutions or anything resembling them, and were actually compelled to live in the idle enjoyment of the wealth they possessed, in order that the race might become demoralized and effeminate. This policy soon accomplished its purpose. Thanks to the oft-recurring outbreaks of unfriendliness among sections of the people of the neighbouring but not always neighbourly republic, and to the deep-rooted determination of the Canadian people, begotten of their royalist stock, to preserve inviolate at all costs the territory of Canada as the home of British parliamentary institutions and the ark of true freedom in North America, there has always been more or less military spirit in this country, and the existence of the Canadian Militia, even during the periods of most pronounced neglect, has done not a little to foster and nourish it. The South African War stimulated the military spirit in Canada as it had not been for years; and in demonstrating the mighty scope which existed for cooperation between the Mother Country and her daughter nations in defence of the Empire, at once raised the Canadian Militia from the level of a mere auxiliary of the regular army, liable to be called upon to furnish men, and perhaps a few selected officers, in cases of local emergency, to the status of a powerful and necessary unit of the Imperial defensive force. The Canadian people and the Canadian Militia have manfully assumed the increased responsibility, and the intervening few years have seen an incompletely organized, a poorly supported, and an oft-neglected militia transformed into an effective army with a carefully selected and trained staff, with modern armaments and equipment, and with its own arsenals, magazines and departments.

Download or read book A Military History of Canada written by Desmond Morton and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated to 2007, including Canada’s war on terrorism. Is Canada really “a peaceable kingdom” with “an unmilitary people”? Nonsense, says Desmond Morton. This is a country that has been shaped, divided, and transformed by war — there is no greater influence in Canadian history, recent or remote. From the shrewd tactics of Canada’s First Nations to our troubled involvement in Somalia, from the Plains of Abraham to the deserts of Afghanistan, Morton examines our centuries-old relationship to war and its consequences. This updated edition also includes a new chapter on Canada’s place in the war on terrorism. A Military History of Canada is an engaging and informative chronicle of Canada at war, from one of the country’s finest historians.

Download or read book The Other End of the Spear written by John J. Mcgrath and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at several troop categories based on primary function and analyzes the ratio between these categories to develop a general historical ratio. This ratio is called the Tooth-to-Tail Ratio. McGrath's study finds that this ratio, among types of deployed US forces, has steadily declined since World War II, just as the nature of warfare itself has changed. At the same time, the percentage of deployed forces devoted to logistics functions and to base and life support functions have increased, especially with the advent of the large-scale of use of civilian contractors. This work provides a unique analysis of the size and composition of military forces as found in historical patterns. Extensively illustrated with charts, diagrams, and tables.

Download or read book A National Force written by Peter Charles Kasurak and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark book dispels the idea that the period between the Second World War and the unification of the armed services in 1968 constituted the Canadian Army's "golden age." Drawing on recently declassified documents, Peter Kasurak depicts an era clouded by the military leadership's failure to loosen the grasp of British army culture, produce its own doctrine, and advise political leaders effectively. The discrepancy between the army's goals and the Canadian state's aspirations as a peacemaker in the postwar world resulted in a series of civilian-military crises that ended only when the scandal of the Somalia Affair in 1993 forced reform.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the North-West Campaign of the late 19th century to the UN missions of the late 20th century, from the heights of glory to the depths of indifference on the part of politicians and the public, through two world wars and unification of the Forces, this third and final volume covers more than a century of armed services history. The author has painstakingly researched documents and personal accounts to trace the evolution of the Canadian Forces to their current highly professional status, and to describe the commitment of the men and women who serve their country around the world - men and women whose sole objective, at the dawn of a new century and millennium, is peace.An original, creative design as well as a large number of color illustrations, photographs taken in the field and reproductions of military uniforms make this volume an artistic treasure as well as a unique history book and valuable reference.
