Leaders Not Managers: The Navy's Imperative Need to Emphasize Junior and Intermediate Officer Professional Military Education

Abstract

The Navy has routinely disregarded the importance of the professional military education of its officer corps. By establishing a career-long Navy Professional Military Education (NPME) continuum, which provides practical and necessary cross-designator PME without hampering the career progression of the officer corps. It would provide Naval officers with the appropriate and rigorous naval warfare and leadership education to lead in future multi-domain warfare environments. The findings indicate an institutional disregard and neglect toward a career-long NPME system that starts at the beginning of an officers career and continues throughout their career.
