National Military Park National Military Park , National Battlefield , National Battlefield Park , and National Battlefield Site are four designations for 25 battle sites preserved by the United States federal government because of their national importance . The designation applies to " sites where historic battles were fought on American soil during the armed conflicts that shaped the growth and development of the United States . . . " There are 11 National Battlefields , nine National Military Parks , four National Battlefield Parks , and one National Battlefield Site . The National Park Service does not distinguish among the four designations in terms of their preservation or management policies . In 1890 , Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park was the first such site created by Congress . Originally these sites were maintained by the War Department , but were transferred to the National Park Service on August 10 , 1933 . The different designations appear to represent Congressional attitudes at the time of authorization of each individual site , although " park " appears to be reserved for the larger sites . Only Brices Cross Roads National Battlefield Site , which is small , still bears that designation ; others have since been redesignated . Some battlefields are designated as National Monuments , such as Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument , or National Historic Sites , such as Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Site . As with all historic areas in the National Park System , these battle sites are automatically listed on the National Register of Historic Places .

Garde Mobile During the crises that led up to the Franco - Prussian War , Adolphe Niel , Minister of War for France under Louis - Napoleon attempted to bolster French military might by bringing into existence a service which would provide reserves to be added to the French army . Although there was conscription into the army , not only was it not universal , but middle - class people could purchase exemptions for their sons . The garde mobile ( also called garde nationale mobile though it had nothing to do with the garde nationale or National Guard of France ) was intended to be the body which would in effect conscript all who had been able to avoid military service . It would also take in all conscripts on completion of their army service . Napoleon III took up the idea and announced on 12 December 1866 that the Garde Mobile would eventually attain a strength of 400 , 000 troops . Both the left and the right in the Corps Legislatif took issue with the proposal . The right wanted an all - professional army ; the left were opposed to Bonapartist militarism , or wanted a " People in Arms " as their defense service . Hence not much money was spent for the equipment or training of the Garde Mobile . Its authority to conscript was also diminished . Servicemen were trained fourteen days per year , each one not followed by another , so they could return home to sleep . This service was not even permitted to deploy beyond the local areas of which the units were formed ; thus , they were hardly " mobile " . The Garde Mobile had different uniforms from those of either the regular infantry , the National Guard , or the infantry of the French Marines . They did not get the excellent French chassepot rifle . When the Franco - Prussian War broke out , troops were called up into the Garde Mobile , and they received a hodgepodge of inferior equipment bought from foreign countries , the transport of which was secured by the French Navy .
