520 _a"Music has been an integral part of warfare and the soldier's life since the dawn of history. Even the instruments on which it is played have themselves acquired great symbolic power--a regiment's drums are second only to its colors as an emblem of honor and tradition." (MILITARY HISTORY) This article explores the important role music has played in military history, noting that "the function of music in war has always been twofold: as a means of communication and as a psychological weapon."
