This is fantastic. I have noticed a high level of institutional ignorance of past (25+ years ago) concepts, solutions, doctrine, TTPs, challenges, and technical approaches. Not just operations and systems, but in leadership, administration, and fitness. I don't mean this as a 'these young people' attack. It is an inherent challenge in human terrain when the 'now' demands 98% of the focus available. More so, the accelerating speed of information in the past 20 years does a better job blocking awareness of past efforts than the Eagles' offensive line at the SuperBowl. It is not unusual for me to read something by a field grade officer who is clearly intelligent and think 'that issue isn't new'(of course, then I realize I may may be a little older). Maybe the solution died off, maybe it was not implemented, or maybe it wasn't realistic at the time. But the thought, the consideration may still have value for someone approaching an issue now. Creating this resource, in conjunction with our current artificial and automated tools, is a game changer.
