lee is to get the army down. lee cap makes the terms to the south because union forces keep blocking the way but the union armies -- can't make the turn to the south because union forces keep blocking the way. this map shows the final battle which takes place on the morning of april 9. confederates initially pushed a -- the union troopers back. as reinforcements arrived, they realize they cannot make it through. the union army is surrounded on three sides of the river on the other side. of course, lee and grant will meet that very afternoon of april 9. one of the things that makes the appomattox surrender you knew there is an active campaign and right up to the last minute there is fighting. we do not know who the last casualty was, there is probably no way to know because the fighting spread out across the village. one of the possible candidates is montgomery from pennsylvania, that is his photograph. as the flags of truce go out and fighting dies down, both sides have a chance to pause and catch the reps -- the

however, soldiers of the women's army corps whose husbands have been separated from the army will be discharged on application. you have seen how the worldwide readjustments in the army will take place. the surplus men from all overseas theater and the continental united states will be reassembled under their respective commands in the united states surplus pools. there will be some reduction in ground forces. there will be somewhat less reduction in service forces will stop there will be practically no immediate reduction in air forces, but as replacements become available the air forces and service forces will separate a share of men proportionate with the service forces. you also know wherever possible for men to be returned to civilian life will come from among those with the highest priority credit scores based on total service, overseas service combat service and number of dependent children of 23. the great majority of men to be released will come from overseas. those tuesday overseas have a mean job to do, but we should do it as americans in the new tradition of american sold

think about the state of the armies, especially the confederate armies which has been the last several months static around petersburg and richmond. all of a sudden the army has to be mobile and you have to move horses and wagons, artillery pieces and the soldiers themselves. pulling them out of the earthworks, getting them on the road, that is a challenge. and then keeping the army moving and together. as you all know, things unravel on the way. one confederate soldier wrote "day and night blended together. oh it was constant action and there will be skirmishing and battles every day. another soldier wrote that "night and day blended together, it was constant marching. if we were not marching we were fighting." even union accounts talk about the hard marches and long days on very bad roads. on the back behind me, it is a busy map that you can see the movement of the armies to cover a lot of ground. there are several bottles only way. -- battles on the way. by the time the army gets to appomattox, they have been in constant contact. when they arrived at the courthouse, there is a final

the army has changed with it. the army has change their operating concept to say what we want our soldiers to be able to do now? that is fight in a conflict -- complex world were asymmetric threats are out there. this facility that you see here today is meant to replicate that so we can prepare our soldiers to do things where we might not know they're going to operate in the future. i really think that the facility itself here is designed to serve our army and help our soldiers face the challenges they are going to face in the future. we really do not know what that is going to be. it is a very, gated world of their and things have changed. we want our soldiers to be agile and adaptive leaders and soldiers so we can do, is what our nation asks host:. host:host: ford ap hill in virginia. 300 acres devoted to these buildings reaction you this morning. also, tunnels underneath and very structures on the campus. justin from petaluma california. go ahead. guest:caller: i have to reflect what a lot of the colors have sa

it was washington's army. it was a federalist army. that is a matter of significance. to the federalist, jefferson was a man who could not be trusted. he was a man who applauded against washington when he was president, and try to undermine adams. he had encourage these divisions that brought an end to federalist administration. when jefferson became president many republicans knowing how well he was hated by the federalists assumed there would be a military coup. he warned jefferson every fort and arsenal should be placed under the protection of faithful officers in order to prevent the seizure or destruction by a desperate faction. this wasn't just paranoia. in the 18th century they all have this nightmare of a standing army. the government with an armie, a full-time army could make it through whatever it wanted and overrule democratic institutions. it happened five years before in 1799 in france when the army under napoleon overthrew a government which had been elected by one million votes 12 months earlier. that was very clear in people's minds. one of the first me

he lost about a third of his army at that particular battle. and this is where after this battle that general grant initiates a conversation with general lee by messenger telling him he does not want any more blood shed and asking lee to surrender his army. over the next few days they continue this correspondence saying lee doesn't want blood shed either but he does not feel it is time to surrender his army. and they continue this until the battle of appotomax court 8 house on the morning of april 9th when lee sends his final message back to grant telling him he is ready to surrender his army. there are two significant images in this case. in d. is an aide to general fitsualy. he was wounded in action in appotomax on the morning of april 9th. lee noted that he left him writhing in his great pain and assumed he had died n. fact, he survived. he was -- he posed for this picture with his uniform that showed where the bullet passed through his coat. and that is the bullet that was recovered from him. he was operated upon by a union surgeon who save

army records alone for the second world war with 17,000 tons. like all great events in american history world war ii is bottomless. there are wonderful things still to discover. so for example i found that the national archives in college park about 15 miles from here, a document that revealed thinking about, how are you going to get onto the beaches at the normandie if you know the beaches are going to be heavily defended. how are you going to get ashore by air, by parachute or bake later. someone or posed how about taking a time out under the english channel? and so there was a study done at the officers who reported back to the handset can do this. it will take 15,000 miners a year to excavate 50,000 tons of spoil but we can do that. but they couldn't finance, what they could never forget out is when the first minor popped out an entire german seventh army was waiting. there was a whole collection of these problems and they had their own acronym. can't wait, problems of the invasion of northwest europe. there was anxiety for example, the germ

when lee surrendered his army to general grant, he surrendered only his army of northern virginia. he did not surrender any other armys. although grant had asked him to. there was over 100,000 soldiers still in the field. so appotomax was just the first surrender that happened, but certainly not the last surrender that ended the war. but effectively, it did. one of the larger armys that was still in the field was general joe johnston's army in north carolina. that had been lee's goal to meet with general johnston there after he supplied his troops combine the armys and continue on in their efforts. general johnston surrendered his troops three weeks after general lee surrendered his. the portrait you see there, the spurs the gaunt lets, the sash and this chest all belonged to general joseph johnston. the last surrender that occurred on land was by brigadier general stan watty. we only have a portrait of him. he is knowable because he was a cherokee. he surrendered his men in the oklahoma territory in june of 1865. that was the last surrender of confederate troops on land. the last

the army is reputed for being disciplined, for being a republican army composed of remnants of the old military along with other armed groups who fought during the war. the fact that the army was able to remain neutral throughout this highly politicized crisis was remarkable. they also helped protect the civilians during the crisis, however, i think it needs to be kept in mind that that it is still the army, and one thing that we need to be cautious about is having a military being able to rule a country in a time of crisis. >> what are the president now? he is in a meeting of nations suspect he won't be coming back anytime sob, but what support does he have in the region? >> >> i think the african union is calling on them to reconsider their position on the third mandate. the african union is an organization that that does not support a military coup. some of the members of the african community voiced their concern about the president of burundi. we do have an established consensus among african leaders that if we accept the coup in one country we may be accepting it in our own howev

we take our world along with our army. this means the world of the army service forces is of the greatest immediate importance. therefore, reduction in its strength must be slow at first. more and more men will be separated as readjustments in the army take place. but right now, beating the japs is the number one priority. we'll find nothing ready made for us in the pacific. nothing but tough assignments. there will be plenty of them. we in the service forces must get them behind us before our job is done. >> lieutenant general leslie mcnare of the ground forces said a few words before he gave his life for his country on the normandy front. >> the plan is to move against japan with all the strength we can deploy effectively. the more overwhelmingly we tackle them, the sooner the job will be finished and the fewer the losses. some must be transferred from one branch of the army to the other in order to balance the new forces. some will not be needed and may go home. i know the ground forces everywhere are going to rise to t

some shrewd observations about the way the iraqi army performed in ramadi. >> it's an iraqi army, but it's not united. the soldiers are divided. they've got different actions. each one has its own flag. >> here in baghdad security is tight. there is absolutely no sense here that islamic state is about to come charging down the road and threaten baghdad, but the collapse of ramadi does clearly raise questions about the competence of the iraqi army, if it has the leaders to carry out the job of beating islamic state. >> a retired general who is now a distinguished defense analyst agrees that part of the problem is the quality of the army leadership. and he says the i.s. our ideological fighters so people who are really committed to combating that ideology have got to be used against them. can the army defeat i.s. alone? no. pretty radical for a former army general, but the ramadi crisis could have other effects. britain and america had to tiptoe away from direct. now than other western countries may have to get more involved if i.s. is to be beaten. >> the recent dramatic gains by islam

how cohesive is the army. we know that they have been toppled, but we don't know who the army will put in place. and the fear is there are factions within the military that perhaps might back different candidates. some of those are army members. if those factions start to fight monk themselves, the fear is that we could see the violence escalate. the fear is that that will happen in the weeks to come. >> why is it that someone want to get rid of president nkurunzia. >> i think it was the level of corruption and the amount of cronyism in his ranks and the lack of economic development especially outside of the urban areas. there is a sense really that he used his time as president to enrich himself but every day burundians did not see the benefit of that. he has angered people across the ethnic divide. the opposition are really--is right across that ethnic split. that's what we're seeing at the moment. >> what do we know about the man who has been so far behind the coup or the been the face of it? >> yes he is k

the army officers want to fight isis. the volunteers are ready to be part of the national guard as soon as the law for this is enacted. but the volunteers are ready to fight as soon as they get weapons. by now, we have thousands of fighters who have graduated from these camps and are ready to fight. but they don't have weapons. they don't have the weapons they need for the fight, for liberation of mosul from isis. since last january now five months ago, we are still waiting for the promises of weapons that have been met by our government. promises are nice. but is the weapons -- the weapons that they need not the promises. the force that holds mosul after liberation must be trusted by the people of mosul. that means the force must be from mosul and its surrounding town. if these forces can be trusted by mosul community, the mosul people would be on the side of the liberation and they cannot make a combat into mosul. liberation comes first, of course, but it's the period after liberation that will be decided for people wou
