Soldiers Wood
Why did the British soldiers wear scarlet red uniforms? What did it symbolize or represent?
During the colonial days of the USA, British soldiers battling the the rebellious, self-centered, unloyal, usurping colonists had to wear a bright red (scarlet) uniform in battle. Not exactly the best thing to wear for camo in a battlefield of woods or farm land.
So why did they wear that color? Did it represent or symbolize something? Also, when did they stop wearing such uniforms? Was there any British officer stating how silly it was to wear such a color in a battle?
First, in the 18th Century, no one tried to hide their troops on the battlefield. They uniformed them so they could tell them apart. The troops on both sides fought in lines, usually in two ranks (one man behind the other). Command and control was best when they were in the open fields.
The muskets were only accurate to about 75 yards. For both safety with black powder and to maximize the effect, they fired volleys. They had to be in lines to defend against bayonet charges- the whole method of battle was to try and break up an enemies line so you could then charge with the bayonet and drive him off.
Battles were fought usually well beyond accurate range, with units trying to move forward or back to get into range for a good volley while the enemy was not ready- they could fire a volley every 15 to 20 seconds- time enough for an enemy to run 100 yards.
Madder Red, made from an insect, was cheap. Seeing your troops thru the smoke was useful. Hiding was not.

Military Police Training at Fort Leonard Wood
Can anyone tell me what the living conditions are for prior service soldiers having AIT in Ft Leonard Wood?
Just joined the army 21R and wanted to know the living conditions for prior service, i think we're separated from IET soldiers, but how are the barracks ( how many to a room, internet connections, phone reception, free time, etc)...Im prior service Navy and im pretty sure "A" school and AIT are kind of different...any help would be awesome but please only answer if your positive that your answers are correct
yes you will have your own barracks two to a room i think and will be expected to go to formation on your own and you will probably have a curfew but that's about it , have fun being one of the old dogs there among the newbies
