Explanation:

These were some of the immediate challenges that Washington faced as commander of the Continental Army. When Washington took over as commander, the army was made up of volunteers who had not been trained properly. Many of them were quite young, and most lacked the skills that were necessary in a member of the army. Moreover, enlistment terms were short and the army was quite small. Despite these challenges, Washington was able to improve the army in a remarkable way.
