Training and Educating Officers for Senior Responsibilities During Wartime.

Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to recommend the study of professional ethics starting during the pre-commissioning development period of an officer career. This education should continue through all military schooling and in units and organizations. Another recommended change is to incorporate the study of military history including staff rides to visit historical battlefields as a part of military qualification standards training and/or as a part of unit professional development programs. Both of these study programs should be coherently linked as the officer progresses in rank and attends higher level schools.
