It was a massacre of men and horses, a tactical madness (as reviewed by thegunsource), that the military tacticians still remember today. The Russian entrenched themselves and attacked with various pieces of artillery. About six hundred British cavalrymen attacked the Russian positions. In this conflict, there was the beautiful, epic, useless, and disastrous cavalry charge in Balaclava. They went from the head-on collision of well-framed formations in the open field to the trench warfare with long-distance shots. During the Crimean War, for the first time, soldiers had to change strategy. Only with the use of modern tactics, and above all thanks to the technological advances made by the manufacturers of weapons, their use subsequently grew. The Napoleonic Wars were the first test for this new army specialty. By adopting tactics that we would call guerrilla today, the various American scouts armed with the first rifles were able to inflict heavy losses on British officers. In England, the royalty gave the order of forming the first regiment of new-concept riflemen, which became operational four years later.Īfter the experience gained during the American War of Independence and also of other conflicts in American territory fought against France, the British were the first to understand the strategic importance of this new way of waging war. The use of the sniper as a real weapon in itself dates back to 1798. The sniper rifle history reflects a real weapon system made up of a single person with a rifle. The threat is invisible and often deadly silent. With just one active sniper, the enemy operations slow down because the troops try to stay as much as possible indoors. "I think showing good sportsmanship and integrity in high school athletics is what it is all about," Unertl said. "It is not always an easy thing to do, especially when a team just lost a close game or tournament, but those that can show it and enact it at those more difficult times is what high school sports is all about and truly demonstrates what good character and integrity are."Ī list of schools who received the WIAA Award of Excellence for leadership, sportsmanship, ethics, and integrity can be found on the WIAA's websit e, along with a list of requirements for the award.If well positioned, a single sniper can nail a whole company and force it to drastically slow down its progress if not even to give up. The school practices shaking hands with the opposing team after a competition and holds parent info nights on sportsmanship, where they discuss showing respect to everyone at the game, including officials, game workers, coaches, and the students competing. Student-athletes also show sportsmanship on a personal level. Teams will occasionally make baked-goodie bags for the opposing team, and often can be seen helping someone from the other team up on the field. Students in the group also write thank-you notes to officials and coaches. In addition, Unertl meets directly with leaders from every athletic and activity group through the Athletic and Activity Council each month, where they discuss topics like sportsmanship. On a school-wide level, Unertl says they read announcements both during school and at sporting events to encourage sportsmanlike behavior at games. RELATED: Franklin has some of the best teachers, is one of the best places to teach Unertl stressed that sportsmanship is an important part of high school athletics, and he said the school strives to promote sportsmanship in a variety of different ways. To qualify for the award, the athletics department must hold different meetings on the topic of sportsmanship, ethics, and/or integrity, schools must promote sportsmanship in school somehow, at least three teams must give back to the school or community through volunteerism, and several other requirements must be completed. "The leadership and integrity that our coaching staff exhibits is noteworthy, as well. We have a top-notch staff that holds student-athletes accountable for their actions both on and off the field." "At Franklin, we always try and emphasize good sportsmanship at both home and away events with our students, coaches and parents/spectators," said FHS Athletic and Activities Director Sara Unertl. Franklin was one of only 15 schools in the state to be recognized. That is one of the many little things, Franklin High School athletes did to earn the inaugural Award of Excellence for leadership, sportsmanship, ethics, and integrity from the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA).
