Military science in history and the academe

In military history, military science had been used during the period of Industrial Revolution, a period from 1750 to 1850 where changes in agriculture manufacturing, mining, transportation, and technology had a profound effect on the social, economic and cultural conditions of the times. It was used as a general term to refer to all matters of military theory and technology application as a single academic discipline, “academia,” the community of students and scholars engaged in higher education and research. This includes that of the deployment and employment of troops in peacetime or in battle.

In military education, military science is often the name of the academic department in the education institution (“higher,” “post-secondary,” “tertiary,” or third level education”), a division of a university--the stage of learning that occurs at universities, academies, colleges, seminaries, and institutes of technology--or school faculty devoted to a particular academic discipline, that administers officer candidate education/school, or “Officer Cadet School (OCS), or institutions which train civilians and enlisted personnel in order for them to gain a commission as officers in the armed forces of a country. However, this education usually focuses on the officer leadership training and basic information about employment of military theories, concepts, methods and systems, and officer graduates, a rank in some militaries of the world that is an appointed position while a person is in training to become an officer, are not military scientists on completion of studies, but rather junior military officers, a military rank, a system of hierarchical relationships in armed forces, police, intelligence agencies or other institutions organized along military lines.
