Nov 6, 2023 at 2:50 comment added elemtilas I don't see this as a duplicate of the effectiveness against pikemen query. First, that question was closed for lacking detail and clarity and really should not be used to compare with a sufficiently clear and detailed question. The other query is about bear cavalry, which this query says it's not about. This is a question of training --- methods and therefore depending from culture & military practice and thus are rules of the world. VTR.
Nov 3, 2023 at 15:07 comment added David R I have not found a citation for this, but I remember hearing that people who took tame bears around for shows used only young bears. The claim was that they could take a cub and train it for shows. They could use it for two years and then had to kill it. There was a change to the cub around 2 years that would make it dangerous and break training. In nature, the cub stays with a mother for about 2 years and then leaves to find its own place. That change makes warfare bears very problematic.

Nov 2, 2023 at 6:00 comment added JBH @boboranonymous (a) You are allowed to ask one and only one question per post. To reopen the question, you must delete all but one question. (b) How to train an animal is trivially found searching the Internet. Please note the down vote rollover, which says, "this question does not show any research effort." Indeed searching for "how to train bears" on the internet produces many results. Training them for war is no different from training them for anything else. (c) Asking "how/what/why else X?" is open-ended and prohibited (see help center).

Remove Edit: tags. If your initial question wouldn't have "Edit:" in it, it shouldn't be added in an edit. If anyone actually wants to know how the post changed over time they can read the edit history.
Nov 2, 2023 at 4:55 comment added boboranonymous I wrote already to ask how they would be trained (so not for the how effective would they be question) and the small bears one doesn't answer the question of using them in war, and then i edited it to say they were not for cavalry, so the question is different to all of them
Nov 2, 2023 at 4:48 comment added Monty Wild You'll need to edit this question to show how it is not asking the same questions as the listed duplicates if you want it reopened.
