The Study of History Saves Lives

Abstract

American history includes more than 200 years of recorded military success and failures. From the Revolutionary War to the those operations under Global War on Terrorism, the military leaders and warriors of the United States, have implemented strategies based on previous events that are referred to in the 21st Century as "Lessons Learned." Each military event is analyzed in efforts to preserve life, sustain equipment and enhance mission success. These events are recorded, briefed and archived. It is through the review and study of post war and conflicts that leaders have made significant medical and tactical changes that have with out a doubt saved lives.
