Neo-Assyrian military

The Neo-Assyrian military, active from the 10th to 7th centuries BCE, was a highly organized and powerful force in the ancient Near East. It utilized advanced tactics, including siege warfare and cavalry units, and was known for its effective use of archers and infantry. The Assyrians relied on professional soldiers, often supported by local conscripts, and maintained a network of supply lines to sustain campaigns. Their brutal tactics, including psychological warfare, instilled fear, allowing them to conquer vast territories and enforce control over diverse peoples, contributing to the Assyrian Empire's dominance during its height.
