Importance of Studying Military History

Abstract

Leaders at all levels, NCOs and officers alike, must study military history to ensure that they dont make the same mistakes that others made in the past. Leaders who study military history are more likely to understand the dangers of reducing forces, limiting training and failing to get the equipment that their Soldiers need. Throughout the Armys history, these three factors have cost Soldiers lives and have nearly resulted in defeat. As leaders we must face these issues and do what we can to avoid or compensate for them.
