Expanding the Lessons Learned Program to Include Corps Support Command Commanders and Theater Army Area Command Commanders

Abstract

The Oral History Program's purpose is to supplement official histories, to isolate successful command, leadership and managerial techniques, and to gain important perspectives on defense issues. The program currently gathers information from retired officers and other selected individuals and includes lessons learned from division, Corps, school and Major Army Command (MACOM) commanders. In June 1984, the Chief of Staff, General Wickham, expressed a desire to capture lessons learned from division commanders as they completed their tours. General Vuono has recently directed that the program be expanded again to include selected general officers serving in joint and combined billets. This study will show the need to expand the program further to include commanders of corps support commands and theater army area commands. It will also have a pilot questionnaire for corps support command commanders and an edited interview. Keywords: Military commanders.
