Gen. George Crook fights Indians then, in peacetime, promotes their cause.

In the 1860s, Kit Carson and the U.S. government forced 8,000 Navajo Indians to march to a New Mexico reservation.

The Southern Cheyenne migrate to Colorado; Chivington and the Sand Creek Massacre.

Forced by settlers to migrate, the Northern Cheyenne allied with the Sioux, but gold soon made peace difficult to maintain.

The almost surreal deterioration of Gold Rush boomtowns into abandoned shells of timber and sagebrush.

Points west of the Mississippi saw bloody battles during the Civil War.

Steamboats open transportation for Western settlers.

Cannons evolved from 13th-century fort-penetrating weapons to atomic bomb launchers with smart weapons; explore how cannons were cast and forged, terrorized in world wars, and advanced to today's 40-ton self-propelled Crusader.

When cultures develop literacy, science, and language, codes emerge spontaneously; explore the rich history of secret symbolic communication from Egyptian hieroglyphics to Caesar's encryption, wartime codebreakers, and cyberspace.

From elaborate elite training facilities to GPS-guided air drops, to revolutionary high-tech tents and fire-retardant uniforms, the episode explores the science and technology of building, operating and protecting a base in a war zone.

Experts design materials that can catch gunfire.

Strange weapons of the past and present include Japanese ninja claws, microwavelike rays, lasers, robots, the "puke light," and a super slippery substance.

To defend the corporate high-rise buildings and those who work and live in them, an army of scientists, engineers and security advisors set out on the vital mission to develop technologies to keep corporate America safe against terrorist attack.

The construction of a terrorist-proof safe room, and how windows might someday act as biological weapons detectors; what technology can do to protect civilians, and how they can use technology to protect themselves.

Perhaps the most important and yet least recognized aspect of warfare is battlefield engineering; battlefield engineers lay the groundwork, quite literally, for the battle to come.
