Sowing Seeds to Cultivate Future Army Leaders

摘要

With the continuous deployment of units over the past nine years and before that, to a lesser extent, the peace operations in Bosnia and Kosovo, the U.S. Army has lost many of its core competencies and training skills. One of those degraded skills is officer professional development (OPD). Bearing the urgent need emphasized by a number of forward thinkers and the stark reality the Army faces with more deployments, it remains imperative that the U.S. Army officer corps increasingly emphasize its professional development programs.
