Why is it Important to Study History?
Abstract
The study of history for the military professional is time well spent to hone individual and institutional skills. Understanding lessons learned and the continued development of the lesson will provide current and future leaders a firm foundation in choosing courses of action when confronted with a challenge. The three historical examples in his paper address different reasons to study history with the end result being the same. A better understanding of our past will better help us develop and train our present and future Soldiers which are ethical obligations of all military professionals.
