Supplementary Material for Formal Learning in Military Operations: Selecting Lessons for Implementation

Militaries have increasingly invested in formal learning processes. However, recent research in security studies suggests that many lessons are collected but never implemented. In this study, we ask: why do militaries learn certain lessons from the battlefield but leave other lessons behind? Our study introduces a new argument to explain officials' selection of lessons for implementation. Attached is the supplemental material for the article appearing in the journal Security Studies.
