Transformation and the Professional Military Education System

Abstract

The efforts toward transformation of the Professional Military Education (PME) system of the United States Army have made progress toward the desired goals, matching the positive results of transformation in other areas. Unlike some of the other facets of transformation, the majority of our PME systems did not begin its rebuilding until well after 9/11, almost three years into the Global War on Terrorism (Crawley, 2007, pg 2). Because of this, we have incorporated many of the lessons learned from our young leaders and their experiences in a hostile, asymmetric environment in the developing NCOES lesson plans. The basic restructuring of the Armys PME began at the junior levels of development and is progressing upward to the more senior levels. This emphasis correlates to Leader Development and Education, one of 17 focus areas presented to Congress by Chief of Staff GEN. Schoomaker in July of 2004 (Miles, 2004).
