British operations during the American Revolution and US military actions during the interventions in Mexico (1914-1916) exemplify factors that contributed and ultimately resulted in either successful or failed execution of strategic goals. By synthesizing the lessons learned from past successes and failures of past British, Mexican, and US campaigns, today's Soldiers can gain valuable insight that will help them adapt successfully and creatively to modern-day warfare and the ever-changing battlefields involved in fighting the Global War on Terrorism.
