This is a double edged sword. The answer is both yes and no. The military tactics used in WWII have evolved, but to say they have improved could be overstepping. War is a process of change and evolution. It is everchanging. A perfect example of this is given by what are currently labeled "Insurgents" in Iraq. At the outset of the engagement, they were rather poorly set up or trained for a battle on any level. They have since learned the United States utilizes a "Strategic" concept of warfare. This concept favors manuevering and capturing of key assets over inflicing casualties on the enemy. The problems with this were quickly exploited by oppositional forces. Improvised Explosive Devices were introduced to disruprt supply lines and troop movements. The United States responded with armor for its trucks. The insurgents responded by recalibrating devices to take weak points on vehicles. The United States Adapted to this. Insurgents then expirimented with chemicals such as chlorine. Hence you see a steady pattern of evolution. Is it improvement? That depends. Improvement is a difficult word to define. If you define it as change, then yes, absolutely. If you define it as success, that's where it starts getting shady.
