General Officers' Views on Continuing Education/Updating Program for General Officers

Abstract

To help determine the need for a continuing education/update training program for general officers, 50 general officers were interviewed. The interviewed generals offered many recommendations and solutions to anticipated problems, which they believed would be encountered if the Army instituted a General Officer Education and Training Program. Nearly all respondents gave reasons for their replies, solutions to the problems they mentioned, and recommendations on those topics where they thought a change should be made. The attitudes and recommendations summarized here are the result of combining all similar responses. The views expressed are the composite views of all the interview general officers. No interpretation or conclusions, other than those provided by the respondents, are meaningful in this particular analysis. The comments/recommendations, therefore, are presented in the report without any attempt to weigh or evaluate them.
