What fighting style did the British army use?
If they were fighting in rough terrain with small numbers of men, both British and Patriot forces would fight skirmish style, in open lines using cover. If either side had large numbers of men in open terrain, they would fight in strict regimented tight lines.
What were British advantages?
Britain’s military was the best in the world. Their soldiers were well equipped, well disciplined, well paid, and well fed. The British navy dominated the seas. Funds were much more easily raised by the Empire than by the Continental Congress.
Why is the British Army better trained than the US Army?
Just by length of basic training the Brits are better trained. That’s a simple fact. You may be aware of the USMC maxim of “Marine first, specialist second”. Well they follow the Royal Marines who innturn follow the British Army on that point. Therefore, all British army soldiers are taught infantry first, specialism second.
What is the difference between the UK and US Special Forces training?
The UK’s is more intense and physical. Lots of USMC come to the UK to try the commando course but hardly ever pass. A major difference between the US and British army is that In the US special forces training, basically the former has 100 0r 200 men being trained where as the British army has one for ten.
Are the US better trained than the UK for Modern Warfare?
The US trains for combined arms warfare, the Brits are a bit more self-sufficient so you really have to pick a subject/circumstance. So in my opinion whilst Brits are generally accepted as better trained, the Americans are masters of modern warfare and as we saw in Iraq in 2004 onwards, better than the Brits.
What tactics did the US use to win the war?
The American’s first tactics consisted of various methods of war. One method they used to help them win the war was to control the skies, this meant watching over their battle ground, which was in the county side, and bombing suspected hiding places in which they thought that the Vietcong were hiding. This was called Operation Rolling Thunder.
