A Battalion Commander's Handbook

Abstract

The Battalion Commander's Handbook is a synthesis of experience. It represents a joint venture undertaken during academic year 1976-77 by a group of US Army War College and US Army Command and General Staff College students. The purpose of the Handbook is to assist the new battalion commander during the period of transition into command--the first 60 days. The Handbook is not a primer on how to succeed but offers exposer to the aggregate experiences and lessons learned condensed from the over 100 former battalion level commanders in the US Army War College Class of 1977. Its primary focus is on the individual soldier. Each of the functional areas of leadership, personnel, training, operations and intelligence, logistics, and management and decisionmaking is specifically addressed.
