Orphan date February 2009 The Mesopotamia Mesopotamian Civilization had a surprisingly adept grasp of Military tactic tactics . In fact, they are the first confirmed users of the shield wall tactic later made famous as thihe Roman testudo formation . It is unknown who first developed the tactics, but it is thought to have been developed somewhere between 2500 BC and 2000 BC . Another Mesopotamian tactic involved large, well disciplined for the time spear man formations. Armed with javelin weapon javelins , they were the first effective missile troops, as shown during their war against the Hittites in around 2000 BC. These missile units were later idealized in the famous epic poem The Siege of Damascus. Citation needed date March 2011 So, by around 1700 BC , the Mesopotamian battle formation consisted of the shield wall and short sword armed sliders in front, and the missile troops behind, with charioteers on the flanks. This served the Mesopotamians well for many years, but were eventually outclassed by sling weapon slingers and archery archers . In each race that thrived in Mesopotamia, military and defensive tactics differ. The Sumerians invented the horse drawn chariot with lighter wheels, allowing quick maneuvering and evasion in the battlefield. Akkadians and Babylonians focused on their military power because of constant threats from neighboring tribes and kingdoms. Amidst all this, however, the Assyrians were one of the most successful military kingdoms. They were one of the first to produce steel which is essential to every army.
