Identification should include the major U.S. military operations associated with weapons technologies. Examples of weapons may include
- airplanes
- firearms
- missiles/rocketry
- nuclear weapons
- submarines
- surface ships
- tanks.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How does wartime increase the amount of resources dedicated to technological research and development to create or improve weapons that will provide an advantage over adversaries?
- How does one identify a current U.S. military presence in a foreign region? (Identification should include the location and the objectives of operations. Military presence should not imply a fighting force currently engaged with an enemy. Identified operations may include those as part of U.N. peacekeeping mission(s).)
