In honor of Fort Hunter Liggett’s 80 th anniversary we repost c orrespondent Tom Wilmer's conversation with Brian Neumann, Ph.D., a historian at the U.S. Army Center of Military History at Fort McNair in Washington D.C. Newmann talks about lieutenant General Hunter Liggett, who was second-in-command of the U.S. Army’s World War 1 American Expeditionary Forces in Europe. Liggett was a visionary tactician who transformed field tactics through combined-arms that remain employed by the U.S. Army today. Neumann ’s conversation was recorded at Fort Hunter Liggett in Monterey County November 8, 2018 following his presentation about the Meuse-Argonne Offensive—the last battle of World War 1; and the subsequent Armistice signed on November 11, 1918. Lt. General Hunter Liggett served in the regular Army prior to WWI with duties that included deployment to the Spanish American War and the Western Frontier.

Brian is an experienced test engineer in our nation’s space and defense industry. He’s worked to test and improve space suits, parachutes, and F-14’s. Which makes Brian pretty damn cool. Beth and Brian enjoyed talking: Star Wars talk & who is the best villain (Emperor) Brian remembers the theater he saw Star Wars in. Working in air traffic control software in Dallas, working on F-16 program at Lockheed Martin (just like his grandmother). His grandmother also worked at Lockheed Martin, and could name cars on the road as well as planes in the sky. Worked flight controls for Orion program at NASA and then moved into flight integration and test, and working the software side and vehicle testing The opportunity to see either a test of the project you’ve been working on, or seeing shuttle launch live is an easy decision to make…. Beth and Brian discuss what a good day is in the world of testing spacecraft… Close does count when you get within 500 feet to landing on the moon, in our opinion. Brian explains why simply changing out spacesuits, or getting a new one for a spacewalk is complicated… Key Takeaways: Testing is a critical and necessary part of preparing for a mission to space, and even crashing into the surface of Mars can be a test result we can study and learn from Life support systems for spacesuits are pretty basic, and yet so complicated. Just like the life support systems in your home, you want everything to work for you (waste, air, water) at the touch of a button, so you can focus on other things. Spacesuits were designed and built decades ago, and we’re still using them today. Testing and designing the new spacesuits is a fun and exciting part of Brian’s job that we will get to see the results of in the next few years! Doing an EVA (Extracurricular Vehicle Activity=spacewalk). “All the talk about going to the south pole (of the moon) in a few years...the people at the forefront of building another lunar EMU are US, at the Johnson Space Center! It’s great!” -Brian Neuman “A suit is really a little spaceship.” About Brian Neumann: On paper, Brian is a Avionics Integration Systems Engineer for the Portable Life Support Systems. This means he works on NASA’s spacesuits! Like most talented engineers, Brian’s work is varied and extends to numerous cool projects. He’s an experienced test engineer with a demonstrated history of working in the Defense & Space industry. Skilled in Integration and Test, Systems Engineering, and Flight Test.

In the inaugural podcast of Arguing History, historians Michael S. Neiberg and Brian Neumann address the question of Americas decision in 1917 to declare war against Germany. Together they discuss the factors involved in it, such as Germanys wartime provocations and the economic impact the war was having upon the nation. Yet it was more than just a product of the events of the conflict, as it came at a time when the role of the United States in the world was being redefined by its emergence as a major economic and financial power on the international scene. How Americans perceived this also played a role both in the decision to go to war, even though there was no consensus as to how the nation should respond to the consequences of their choice once they made it. Michael S. Neiberg is the Stimson Chair of the Department of National Security and Strategy at the U.S. Army War College and the author of Dance of the Furies: Europe and the Outbreak of World War I (Harvard University Press, 2014). Brian Neumann is an historian with the U.S. Army Center for Military History and the lead editor of the centers series of pamphlets on the war Learn more about your ad choices.
