This thesis examines the experience of the Mormon Battalion, a group of five hundred Mormon soldiers commissioned by President James K. Polk to enlist in the U.S. military and aid in the newly declared war against Mexico in 1846. The war was a result of a belligerent and aggressive form of territorial expansion justified by the ideology of Manifest Destiny. Polk and many other Americans believed it was their Manifest Destiny to dominate a continental nation, and the Mormon Battalion was assigned to march to California to conquer Mexican territory for the United States. An examination of the Mormon soldiers' journals and letters, as well as official Mormon Church records and correspondence, reveals that, despite participating in a war that promoted aggressive expansion, the Mormons' understanding of Manifest Destiny contained unique perspectives regarding racial hierarchies and displays of masculinity, key elements of that popular ideology. The peculiar approach that the Mormons' had to Manifest Destiny was directly influenced by their history as a persecuted body of believers. Ultimately, the Mormon soldiers agreed to volunteer for the war not because they wanted to express patriotism, but because they had a firm dedication to their church and resolved obedience to their leader, Brigham Young. Additionally, an examination of popular contemporary media outlets and their responses to the enlistment of the Mormon Battalion, as well as the relevant historiography, is included to demonstrate the evolution of the Mormon Battalion in historical memory, both inside and outside the Mormon Church. The treatment of the battalion by popular media outlets reflected changing attitudes regarding the implications of promoting a martial and aggressive society, while the role of the battalion in Mormon history evolved in tandem with Mormons' fluctuating identities as U.S. citizens.

From a new perspective, this paper will examine the artillery and the pike role in the period 1700-1712 and the battalion´s battle formation in the Caroline combat tactics. Carolinian battle tactics were practiced during the period 1700-1721. The results from my study will be compared to existing research opinion regarding the selected subject areas, if the result confirms the thesis or question the existing research opinion. The source material used consists of eyewitness accounts from the period consisting of diaries, memoir, biography, general muster rolls and historical literature covering the subject. The analysis shows that the Caroline artillery took part in 12 battles during the period of 1700-1712. The analysis also shows that there was a close working between the infantry and artillery in attacks. This result contradicts the existing facility research mixture view that artillery was subordinate other weaponry because it prevented the Caroline attack tempo. In the analysis of the pike role in Caroline combat tactics, reveals nothing that confirms existing research opinion that the pike was an offensive melee weapon. Instead it seems that the pikes role was a support weapon with a defensive focus. The analysis of the battalion`s battle formation shows that the Caroline battalion battle formation did not follow the regulations of the battle formation. According to the existing research the battalion´s battle formation was as required by regulations. But according to the general muster rolls, there are differences between the battalions when it comes to the relationship of forces. So the Caroline battalion battle formation could not have been strictly required by regulations.

This thesis looks at how motivation to fight in war is represented in the social media of the Sheikh al Mansur Battalion and the Dzhokhar Dudayev Battalion. Both battalions are voluntary forces, therefore not conscripted or paid to fight in war. This thesis examines the presence of the two Chechen battalions in the war in Ukraine despite lacking obvious historical ties. It aims to examine the plurality of the battalions and illustrate these groups' presence within the war in Ukraine. Non-material motivations to fight for foreign non-state armed groups are understudied in the context of Ukraine.  A qualitative content analysis is applied to the Telegram channels of the battalions to unpack patterns in content produced providing an insight in how the motivation of actions is communicated. The analysis shows how the legacy of the two Chechen wars lives on in both battalions as part of their motives to be actively present in the war in Ukraine. The findings argue for a broader consideration of non-material incentives, such as identity and cohesion, when examining motivations for participating in war.

As a part of the Texas National Guard, the Second Battalion of the 131st Field Artillery went on active duty as World War Two errupted and eventually became trapped in Java by Japanese forces. It became known as the Lost Battalion after its surrender because it lost all communication with the Allies for over three years. The Japanese forced these Americans to work in Burma on a railroad construction project connecting Burma to Thailand. After the railroad's completion in 1944, the Lost Battalion remained in various prisoner-of-war camps until liberation came in August, 1945. Research sources consulted include the prisoner-of-war project of the North Texas State University Oral History Collection, published memoirs of former captives, pertinent United States government documents, and contemporary newspapers. Secondary materials investigated embrace books and periodicals.

<p>Den här uppsatsen har initierats av en upplevd känsla att spaningsförbanden i den svenska armén på senare tid har eftersatts vad gäller antal och hur de nyttjas. Från att ha funnits i stor mängd vid flertalet förband finn nu endast vissa bataljonsspaningsförband kvar.</p><p>Hur dessa nyttjas kopplat till manöverbataljonernas strävan att tillämpa manövertänkande är också svårt att finna svar på i den litteratur som är aktuell i den svenska försvarsmakten.</p><p>Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är att skapa en vetenskaplig text som redogör för hur bataljonsspaningen vid den luftburna bataljonen skulle kunna utnyttjas för att stödja bataljonen i dess strävan att lyckas med manöverkrigföring.</p><p>Med min uppsats gör jag en ansats för att skapa en vetenskaplig text som svarar på frågan:</p><p><em>Hur bör bataljonsspaningsplutonen nyttjas för att stödja bataljonen i dess genomförande av manöverkrigföring?</em></p><p>För att svara på frågan använder jag mig i uppsatsen av en kvalitativ textanalys som jag i vissa fall kompletterar med intervjuer av inom området kunniga individer.</p><p>Det resultat jag kommit fram till är tätt kopplat till hur bataljonen kan använda sig av bataljonsspaningsplutonen för att stödja det dynamiska beslutsfattandet i syfte att maximera möjligheten att tillskansa sig ett ledningsöverläge gentemot motståndaren. Till exempel vikten av att använda bataljonsspaningsplutonen på djupet mot bataljonens andrahands mål och beredduppgifter i syfte att möjliggöra ett högt stridstempo.</p> / <p>This essay discusses how the Swedish air assault battalion could use its recon platoon to maximise their efforts to achieve manoeuvre warfare. The purpose with this essay is to clarify how to use the recon platoon in an effective way and to bring up some thoughts about the need for a manual on how to use recon platoons in light infantry battalions.</p><p>I have used literature that discusses the use of similar units to the air assault recon platoon and also literature that discusses how to lead a battalion in my efforts to clarify how the platoon should be used to support the battalions’ effort to achieve manoeuvre warfare. With help of the literature I have made a discussion and finally I came to some conclusions about how to use the battalions’ recon platoon in order to support the battalions´ effort to achieve manoeuvre warfare. For example one conclusion is the importance to use the recon platoon towards the battalions´ secondary objectives in order to gain a high tempo in operations.</p>

The material and the study are used as a base in the discussion and from the discussion and the results from the analysis, conclusions are drawn.</p><p>One of these conclusions is that: It is not probable that all units in the Air Defence Battalion will receive proper medical attention within the time-span established in the guiding medical documents.</p>

<p>Det svenska försvarets övergång till insatsförsvar och internationella insatser har lett till omfattande förändringar av Försvarsmakten. Inom ramen för detta är ny amfibiebataljon under framställning. Denna bataljon bör agera med telekrigsförmåga och därmed undersöks vilken typ av system bör vara lämpligt för amfibiebataljon 2014. Initialt så framställs en genomgång av elektronisk krigföring för att skapa förståelse för ämnet och telekrigsförmågans utveckling i både Armén och Marinen. Amfibiebataljon 2014 presenteras för att beskriva förbandet som amfibieregementet skall ansvara för. För att förstå det sammanhang i vilket amfibiska styrkor skall använda sig av telekrigssystem, så beskrivs tre amfibiska scenarier för att möjliggöra en kommande analys. En intervju med tre nyckelpersoner inom det svenska försvaret förs fram för att säkerställa att aktuell information används i uppsatsen. Analysdel av uppsatsen kommer att baseras på de olika telekrigssystemen med en metod att utvärdera dessa från Försvarsmakten grundläggande förmågor. Därefter kommer de system som skall ha utvärderats på grunder av för- och nackdelar sättas i kontext i samband med de scenarier som har lagts fram. Målet är att ta reda på vilket system som är till nytta för amfibiebataljon, samt för- och nackdelarna med ett sådant system. Resultaten visar att ett medelstort system bör användas av amfibiebataljon på grund av sin förmåga till verkan samtidigt som den uppfyller krav på skydd och rörlighet. Dessutom bör ett lätt telekrigssystem användas av amfibiebataljonen på grund av dess kapacitet inom rörlighet och underrättelseinhämtningskapacitet.</p> / <p>The Swedish Armed Forces transition to a force specified against international missions has brought extensive transformations of the armed forces. As part of this a new amphibious battalion 2014 is in the progress of being organized. This battalion should act with electronic warfare capabilities and thus, this essay will investigate what kind of system should be appropriate for the amphibious battalion. The essay begins with a review of electronic warfare in order to create an understanding in general as well as its development in both the Army and the Marine forces. Amphibious battalion 2014 is also presented to describe the upcoming unit which the amphibious regiment shall be responsible for. To understand the context in which amphibious forces shall make use of electronic warfare systems, descriptions of three amphibious warfare scenarios are presented to allow an upcoming analysis. An interview with three key personnel within the Swedish Armed Forces is brought forward to ensure that current information is used in the essay. The analysis part of the essay is based on the various electronic warfare systems with a method of evaluating these from the Armed Forces essential abilities. Thereafter, the systems will be evaluated on the basis of the produced pros and cons in correlation with the operation scenarios that has been presented. The goal is to find out which system is of use for the amphibious battalion, and the pros and cons of such a system. The results indicates that a medium-sized system should be used by the amphibious battalion because of its ability for effect while it meets demands for protection and mobility. Also, a light electronic warfare systems should be used by the amphibious battalion because of its capacity in mobility and intelligence gathering capability.</p>
