Army to Create Education Programs for Soldiers Who Are Too Busy to Go to School

摘要

Repeated deployments have kept soldiers away from schoolhouses. But the Army still believes there are ways to provide learning opportunities outside of the traditional education system, officials said.rnThe service recently launched a five-year, half-billion dollar effort to expand education and training options for up-and-coming officers who may have significant combat experience but not enough academic know-how, Army Training and Doctrine Command officials said. Education is crucial for leadership development because it offers commanders time to reflect, dissect and understand situations they have encountered on the battlefield, TRADOC officials emphasized.
