Are We Appropriately Developing Leaders to Fight and Lead in the Future Full Spectrum of Conflict.

摘要

The thesis of this SRP is to examine whether we are appropriately training and developing our junior leaders to serve and lead in the future full spectrum environment and organizations, both Interim and Objective. The intent is to focus directly on officers at the platoon leader through Battalion Commander level, and examine the current Officer Education System (OES), and make recommendations as appropriate to adjust our current OES. Additionally, it is to review other factors which affect leadership and professional experience through the current and proposed assignment policy for officers, and how mentoring and basic leadership techniques must be adjusted to better adapt to the changing social and global environments in which our junior leaders will have to operate.
