The Encyclopedia of Military Science provides a comprehensive, ready-reference on the organization, traditions, training, purpose, and functions of today’s military. Entries in this four-volume work include coverage of the duties, responsibilities, and authority of military personnel and an understanding of strategies and tactics of the modern military and how they interface with political, social, legal, economic, and technological factors. A large component is devoted to issues of leadership, group dynamics, motivation, problem-solving, and decision making in the military context. Finally, this work also covers recent American military history since the end of the Cold War with a special emphasis on peacekeeping and peacemaking operations, the First Persian Gulf War, the events surrounding 9/11, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and how the military has been changing in relation to these events.

Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Military Science and Tactics This report is intended to record and to inform the Board of Overseers of perhaps the more obvious services rendered and being rendered by the University as its contribution toward the winning of the great War, and to bring to the attention of the Board certain recommendations and suggestions which the Committee deems fruitful; it does not and cannot attempt to record the countless daily War services and sacrifices of the University as an institution and of its officers, faculty, students and graduates as individuals.
