Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the historical employment of the United States Regular Army during peacetime, beginning with its formation in the 18th century, and considers its potential role in the future. The author examines how the absence of a large standing army has influenced military policy and the development of the National Guard as a reserve force, delving into the legal and constitutional aspects of deploying the military in domestic affairs. The book also explores the use of the Army during periods of civil unrest, including labor strikes, riots, and insurrections, and discusses its role as a police force when local authorities are unable to maintain order. The author argues for the continued necessity of a standing army, both as a training ground for future conflicts and as a means of protecting the nation from internal and external threats. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between the military and society in the United States.
