Assyrian military

The Assyrian military, active from the 9th to 7th centuries BCE, was highly organized and known for its advanced tactics and technology. It included infantry, cavalry, chariots, and siege weapons, making it formidable in warfare. Assyrians used psychological warfare, iron weaponry, and developed extensive supply lines. Their ability to mobilize quickly and adopt new ideas from conquered peoples contributed to their success. Notable for brutal tactics, they aimed to instill fear and secure dominance, leading to a vast empire that stretched across the Near East. Their innovations influenced subsequent military strategies in history.
