IntroductionThe United States of America has come a long way to reach the status it holds in the world today in terms of military strength. One of the most important stages of this journey was the creation of the First Special Service, otherwise called the Devil's Brigade or the Black Devils Brigade. The special unit in the United States military was formed during World War II. Initially, the plan was to incorporate Canada and Norway into the creation of a special elite force that would aid in wartime activities. However, Norwegian forces withdrew leading to a collaboration between the United States military and Canada. The idea of ​​​​establishing an elite special unit in the army and its subsequent implementation took place between March and July 1942. This period was characterized by extensive research by a British scientist and thorough analysis by the commanders of the United States. The special unit began training in Montana at Fort William Henry Harrison before moving to other areas such as Camp Bradford and Fort Ethan Allen in Vermont. The forces lasted for the period between July 1942 and December 19441. The unit had three battalions composed of Canadian and American volunteers who engaged in intensive training in skiing, parachuting, amphibious warfare, mountain and demolition, as well as other specialized skills. The elite forces were distinct, from their binational uniform to their specialized combat skills. The soldiers participated in the war in Italy and southern France before their disbandment in late 1944. History The historical perspective of the First Special Service dates back to March 1942. The United States forces were allied with the British forces. A British Combined Forces Sci...... middle of paper ...... important before engaging in any war. The team should plan well how to deal with the enemy and stick to the plan unless an unprecedented event occurs; the team should also consider a plan B. Third, in addition to physical warfare, mental warfare can be used to convey a message that negatively affects the enemy's confidence. The First Special Forces adopted the strategy of scaring the Germans by using stickers with threatening messages; even the color of their faces was frightening and made it easier to camouflage. Fourth, military concepts should never be made public; the adoption of force was a big secret but the success was enormous. Finally, coordination and a good chain of command are key to winning any battle. Without proper coordination an army can be destabilized by the enemy, however, an adequate chain of command ensures performance.
