Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the role, or lack thereof, of military history and past experience in shaping military doctrine. The analysis is based on four case studies: the Reichsheer/Wehrmacht 1919–1940, the French Army 1919–1940, the Israel Defense Forces 1948–1973, and the US Army 1973–1991. In the synthesis, the author describes the role of military history in creating a workable military doctrine at the three levels of war: the tactical level, the operational level, and the strategic level. As cautionary examples for our modern politicians and decision-makers, some cases of abuse and misuse of military history are pointed out.
