21st Century US Army Field Manuals Military History Operations FM 120 - Ringbound
Author: U.S. Army

This ringbound book provides a reproduction of the U.S. Army Field Manual, Military History Operations, FM 1-20. Field Manual (FM) 1-20, Military History Operations, is applicable to all Army military history offices, military history units, and military history operations of major tactical and support commands generally at corps level and be... more »low. FM 1-20 provides basic doctrine describing the roles, relationships, organizations, and responsibilities of Army component command historians, historians, unit historical officers, and military history detachment (MHD) members in the United States Army. It describes, but does not extensively cover, historians and historical offices of units at echelons above corps and at the joint level. It is designed to provide historians, unit historical officers, commanders, and staffs the methods to preserve and document the history of the U.S. Army. It explains how the Army conducts military history operations during wartime, for both deployed forces in the combat theater and those units supporting the operation. The Army has responded to numerous contingencies or military operations other than war in recent years, and this FM provides doctrine on conducting military history operations during such contingencies. It also provides commanders doctrinal guidance on the employment of organic military history assets as well as separate military history units. The primary users of this manual are force commanders, military history professionals, soldiers assigned the additional duty of unit historical officer, and soldiers assigned to MHDs. The manual provides guidance derived from regulations and other sources and gives techniques for the execution of military history operations. It reflects lessons learned in past operations and theories tested at the combat training centers. Military history is the collective memory of a unit or an entire armed force . Its use by units and individuals can teach valuable lessons from their recent past or provide unique insight into more distant times. Commanders and staff members can judge the effectiveness of current or planned operations by the study of related past actions. Although each combat action is unique, a review of actions against a similar enemy or a comparably organized and equipped opponent can provide useful insight. When planning future operations the commander and staff can compare operations in like terrain, weather, and environment to determine appropriate planning factors. In a related aspect, historical data is used in field manuals that provide statistical analyses to estimate logistical and personnel requirements in operations. Military history inspires soldiers and adds to their pride in the military profession. An understanding of the qualities and successful actions of their unit and of individuals can help the members of the organization understand what can be achieved. Military history provides useful examples of outstanding leadership and its effects upon the organizational esprit. This knowledge helps to build great soldiers.
