== Taft Period Forts (1907-1920) ==
See [[Taft Period]]
In 1905, after the experiences of the [[Spanish American War]], President [[Theodore Roosevelt]] appointed a new board, under secretary of war [[William Howard Taft]]. They updated some standards and reviewed the progress on the Endicott board's program. Most of the changes recommended by this board were technical; such as adding more searchlights, electrification (lighting, communications, and projectile handling), and a more sophisticated optical aiming techniques.  The Taft program fortifications differed slightly in battery construction and had fewer numbers of guns at a given location than those of the Endicott program. Except for construction a [[Fort McArthur]] most Taft Period prograns were outside the United States. By the beginning of [[World War I]], the United States had a coastal defense system that was equal to any other nation.
