U.S. Army Center of Military History
From ArchivesWiki
The U.S. Army Center of Military History serves the Army and the public by ensuring the complete and accurate use of military historical experience in professional military issues. The center’s historical activities have a common purpose: to furnish the Army, other government agencies, and the public with information about the Army’s history and its role in peace and war. The use of the center’s work is both broad and varied. It supports the development of doctrine, plans, and policies; furthers military training and education; and informs the public of the Army’s contribution to the nation. The center also helps military professionals and civilian scholars explore the many facets of military history and experience. Although the Army’s history program exists primarily to meet official requirements, historical services are also provided to private agencies and individuals within the limits of available resources.
