Battalion Commanders Speak Out; An Anthology on the Philosophy of Command

Abstract

This volume is a collection of essays on the philosophy of battalion command by eight former battalion commanders representing a cross-section of experience--by branch, geographical location, function, and divisional affiliation. A range of management styles is also reflected. A chapter is also included by a former commander's wife. This volume does not reflect Army doctrine or even a concensus view on any of the issues discussed. It is designed to provide the prospective battalion commander with a variety of views on how to approach the problems of command--in short, a resource book. (Author)
