Through the ages fire power has come to mean offensive power applied at a distance, as there is an immediate dissonance with the thought of one-on-one close quarters combat. Fire power is thus something which is employed to keep the enemy forces outside such ranges where even having superior numbers he can be Defeated In Detail or be sapped of his will to continue the contest of arms, and thus surrender his greater forces to the lesser force possessing the higher fire power. HISTORY OF FIRE POWER The earliest forms of warfare that might be called fire power were the Slinger s of the Roman Legion s and archery of the Parthanon s, a Persia n special cavalry unit. Eventually, the feared Hun s would employ the Composite Bow and light cavalry tactics to shower arrow storms upon enemy forces, which later ability traveled to Great Britain, and it's famed Long Bow men during the various English-French conflicts known as the Hundred Years' War s well before the Renaissance .
