The Center for Army Lessons Learned

The US Army maintains a permanent organization at Fort Leavenworth whose function is to collect what units learned in operations and push it back out to units who have not yet deployed. The Army also runs the after-action review as standard practice after any significant event.

The counter-example is instructive. Where the cost of forgetting is measured in lives, the American institution builds the archive deliberately — which suggests the corporate habit is a choice rather than an incapacity.
