Division Command Lessons Learned Program: What Division Commanders Can Teach Mid-Level Officers about Success

摘要

Under the direction of the Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans (DCSOPS), U.S.Army, the U.S. Army War College and the Military History Institute have developed a program entitled 'Division Command Lessons Learned.' Since 1985 this program has provided structured interviews to serving division commanders at the end of their tour. Each year a summary of unattributed extracts from the transcripts is produced and copies go to the Army Staff and to the Fort Leavenworth staff for the Precommand courses. This study analyzed the yearly summaries and some selected transcripts to determine insights gained from division commanders that might assist mid-level officers to be successful.
