Abstract:

It is essential that Military leaders have a functioning knowledge of history. Former military campaigns are marred by lost battles and leadership failures. The lost battles and leadership failures are a direct reflection of leaders' misunderstanding of enemy tactics. Experiences examined from the past help define leadership failures that help develop new tactics that win on the battlefield today. All battles are written in history, by examining this information leaders can use their historical value to avoid mistakes and duplicate successes for future battles. There are many examples from wars Americans have fought in, I will concentrate on the history, theory, and doctrine of Spotsylvania during the Civil War and WWI Battle of the Argonne Forrest.
