SUMMARY:The Musket Problem: Technology and Military Innovation in the French Army 1700-1815
DESCRIPTION:In 1700\, the French army adopted the musket with attached socket bayonet\, but it took over a century for it to master the new art of war that the technology brought about. Exploring why explains the challenges new technologies present to militaries and illustrates how they adapt to them. \nDr. Jonathan Abel is an Associate Professor of Military History at the US Army Command and General Staff College\, where he teaches courses on French history as well as Greece and Rome\, and wargaming.

Each lecture is presented by faculty from the United States Army Command and General Staff College in Ft. Leavenworth\, Kansas. Established by General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1881\, the CGSC is the graduate college for U.S. Army and sister service officers.
