- W331845793 abstract "Abstract : The main reason for the fall of the last empire was the failure of their army to adapt to modern technology, concepts, and tactics. The challenges of armies of the past are now the challenges of any modern nation attempting to modernize its army. A distinct Islamic Way of exists throughout the history of Islam. One component of this way of war is how armies adapt to material and conceptual change. armies possess an ability to assimilate technology, concepts, and tactics from external sources, but refuse to assimilate the culture associated with that technology. Instead, they choose to use foreign ideas and technology in a distinctly manner. This thesis investigates the use of technology, concepts, and tactics from the pre-Mohammed Persians, through the rise of Mohammed and the Arabs into the Golden Age of Islam, the Seljuk Turks, the Mamluks, and the Ottomans. The research includes any material invention, idea, or tactical/operational solution that the armies took from another nation and inculcated into their fighting method. Examples are spears, bows, armor, saddles, stirrups, siege methods and equipment, firearms, naval technology, and the rise of the professional soldier and army. The thesis does not continue into the modern army period and therefore weapons of World War I and later are not included. For modern nations to bring their armies out of the Ottoman era, they must professionalize. Well-educated, well-trained, professional armies are superior to larger but less well-trained and educated armies. Understanding the complexities of developing a well-educated, well-trained army is essential if U.S. military personnel plan to help armies modernize in the future. The importance of this thesis can be seen in current efforts to modernize the Iraqi and Afghan Army and Police, and in the ongoing reform of the Egyptian, Jordanian, Lebanese, and Saudi militaries." @default.
