The Most Enduring Lesson: People

摘要

The November-December 1991 issue of Army AL&T magazine's predecessor publication, Army RD&A Bulletin, was themed "Lessons Learned from the Gulf War," and in that issue we ran an article titled "Military Lessons from the Gulf War." That article, in turn, cited a report titled "The Gulf War: Military Lessons Learned," the interim result of a six-month study that drew upon the collective expertise of a 55-member team and was eventually published as a book. The study group, headed by Jim Blackwell, Mike Mazarr and Don Snider, was composed of analysts from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSLS) and subject area experts from industry, government and the military. Their report outlined seven major lessons that the authors predicted "will impact future decisions regarding force structure and defense procurement."
