Meeting the Challenge - Developing Leaders for Army National Guard Combat Units

Abstract

With today's demands for worldwide support, it's an accepted fact that more missions will find their way to Guard units like the Enhanced Readiness Brigades (eSBs). Capable and qualified leaders are a necessity in complex organizations like the eSB. These leaders will insure that Guard combat units meet all readiness and deployment standards necessary for future combat. However, is the current Guard leader development system up to the task of ensuring that present and future leaders are trained and capable of filling this vital role? This paper will examine the leader development system in the Guard and assess its ability to meet current and future requirements. Recommendations will be made to improve or incorporate new programs into the leader development process, the goal being to provide a steady stream of qualified leaders for now and the future.
