Military Dissent and Junior Officers

Abstract

The Director of Curriculum at the Air Force Squadron Officer School requested an article for junior officers on disagreeing with the status quo, or simply dissent. This project looks at the appropriateness of teaching dissent in the military and the school's need for such an article. It concludes that teaching proper military dissent to junior officers is appropriate and the school needs the article. The article is at Appendix A of the project. It contains both an explanation of the value and limits of military dissent and techniques junior officers can use when disagreeing with the status quo. (EDC)
