Developing Army Leaders for 21st Century Missions: Teaching Army Leaders Behavioral Science Theories to Educate and Prepare for Full Spectrum Operations

Abstract

Given the Army's current leadership development framework (Be, Know, Do), there are benefits to teaching behavioral science theories as part of pre-commissioning professional military education to assist junior officers in preparing for the missions of the 21st century transitional Army. Behavioral science theories are present and integrated throughout the Army's leadership framework. Behavioral science theories can assist leaders with mission readiness at the individual and collective level and in meeting leader challenges associated with new 21st century missions and Army transformation.
