The Nature and Nurture of Military Genius: Developing Senior Strategic Leaders for the Postmodern Military

Abstract

The United States government increasingly uses its military to meet novel demands through activities such as humanitarian relief, nation building, and partnership capacity generation. fundamentals, relations with society, and demographics differ from the past. For example, the major mission definition has changed from major combat operations to humanitarian relief, peacekeeping, nation building, and generating partnership capacity. Furthermore, the military and society are increasingly permeable; and demographic changes include greater acceptance of women in combat roles, among others. Technological developments such as the Internet contribute to such changes.
