The Battalion Commander's Handbook, 1996.
Abstract
The Battalion Commander's Handbook, 1996 is the fifth of a series of similar books published by the U.S. Army War College since 1977. The purpose of the book is to provide useful tips, ideas, information, philosophy, and guidance to newly designated and incumbent battalion commanders. The instrument used to gather this information was a comprehensive survey that asked open-ended questions of former Army battalion commanders, who were students at the United States Army War College Class of 1996. The survey response rate was 50%. The raw responses were collated and typed into a searchable data base maintained by Parameters. All survey responses were carefully considered and categorized by subject matter experts who have considerable experience in that area of command. For inclusion in this book, the survey responses had to meet the criteria of clarity, insight, and common sense. Rather than post a single solution to a particular problem or subject area, multiple recommendations were included whenever possible.
