Lessons Learned from Counterinsurgencies of America to the Philippines Applied to Today's Battlefields

Abstract

I believe that the methods and tactics employed in both America from 1777-1783 and the Philippines in 1898-1902 have lessons to teach us for today's battlefield. These counter insurgencies were very different but have similarities in what techniques and tactics were effective. By studying these lessons we can apply them to historical battles as well as to the battlefields of today and the future.
