Recently, I read an article from
MAJ John Spencer at Modern
War Institute and published in the
Washington Post that really hit
home for me. In “How the Military
is Making it Hard to Remember
our Wars,” MAJ Spencer notes
the unfortunate loss of historical
records during the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan because of a
lack of individual knowledge and
established procedures when we
transitioned from paper-based to
digitally-based records. The magnitude of this loss in terms
of history and lessons for the Army is incalculable. Here at
CALL, we are committed to collecting, archiving, and sharing
lessons from the field, so the importance of units saving and
forwarding that information to us cannot be overstated. This
effort guides all of our actions.
