Military professionals get few opportunities to practice their profession—however, military history can fill the gap by giving context about what has worked in the past and why it worked.

KEY POINTS:
  • War is complicated.
  • Training and limited time on operations provide some learning, but it isn’t enough.
  • Military professionals need to know the difference between causation (A results in B) and correlation (a link but no certain outcome).
