:I agree. I personnally do not know of sources on early American military involvement beyond the exceptional early sale of a (French-made) warship such as the [[Kotetsu]] in [[1869]]. [[User:PHG|PHG]] 08:34, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 
::I do not have any sources on American involvement in the formation of the Japanese military, but I will state that taking into consideration the very common Japanese pattern in the 1866-1910 period of hiring foreigners -- englishmen, americans, dutch, germans, et cetera -- to pump them for their knowledge and expertise when setting up modern installments, it's not at all unlikely that there were some American military experts involved in one capacity or another.
