Evaluation of Graduate Education of the Military Professionals and Assessment of Their Need.

Abstract

The military services have been aware of the importance of advanced, formal education since the Korean War (1950-1953). During the past three decades, however, with the philosophy of the fortification of self - defense power; the modernization of the military equipment, and the development of defense - industry, there has been a great increase in the need for officers with education at the baccalaureate level and graduate level to prepare them for a extreme variety of roles beyond the traditional professional officer's combat mold. In this regard, this thesis is concerned with whether or not the needs for graduate education were inflated; whether officers so educated were used adequately in positions identified as requiring graduate education; and how we measure the value of graduate education in military officers.
