Identifying and Retaining the Army's Best Midgrade Officers

摘要

Within the next several years, dynamic environmental and generational factors colliding within the ranks of the U.S. Army will place demands on our leadership every bit as challenging as the last 14 years of combat. Under these difficult circumstances, the need to identify and retain the best midgrade officers remains foundational to the Army's success. The critical tasks linked to the necessity to adapt retention strategy will fall largely on brigade and battalion commanders, together with the burden of managing the Army's talent into the future.
