How to Eat Steak with a Knife and Fork!A Return to the Core Competencies That Make Our Maneuver Force Indomitable

摘要

As the Army continues to re-orient its operational-force training efforts on core competencies, commanders and command sergeants major must redouble efforts to build the maneuver force's ability to conduct reconnaissance-and-security operations and combined-arms maneuver. These mission capabilities will continue to become more critical as the Army shifts back to the execution of the full range of military operations. To succeed at these complex operations and overcome a somewhat atrophied skill set, the Army must develop a new generation of Cavalry and Armor leaders who have a firm grasp of the fundamentals that made the U.S. Army combined-arms organization an indomitable force. Simultaneously, the Army must retain the lessons of the past decade of COIN operations.
