Becoming a Military History Instructor in the Army
By Maj. Jordan Brehove
104th Training Division (LT)
FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan.
—Two officers from the 104th
Training Division (LT), along with
Soldiers and civilian professors
from around the country became
certified instructors of U.S. military
history on January 17th after a two-
week course at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan. The popular Military History
Instructors Course course,
abbreviated MHIC (pronounced
em-hik), occurs only twice a year
with roughly 40 students per
session to certify an annual crop
of professors to teach cadets and
undergraduate students military
history courses at universities
affiliated with ROTC programs.
Unique at this course is the focus
on critical thought and experiential
learning while covering U.S.
military history from 1775-present.
Col. Thomas Hanson, the director
of the Combat Studies Institute,
which delivers the course, says
that other history courses focus
on names, dates, and places, but
MHIC focuses on relationships
and significance. One instructor, Maj. Jordan Brehove, 4/415th, 104th Training Division (LT), fires a matchlock musket replica from the early 1600s during the historic
