History obviously seems beneficial, but I was wondering how it is approached in a classroom setting. Where would a young, good future commander excel at?

There are a lot of useful things you need to know that you won’t get in most history books.
1) logistics: how to keep your troops fed & supplied
2) organization: who you need to obey and who must obey you.
3) industry: one of the big advantages of the US Army in WW2 is every single general )(except Patton – too old) attended the War Industrial College and thus knew how tanks & airplanes were made, prices, and fuel consumption. In comparison, the Germans built a tank so heavy it couldn’t cross highway bridges (Tiger II), and the Japanese expected aircraft without radios to fly 700 miles across the sea.
