An Objective Force Leader Development Plan

Abstract

The Objective Force (OF) is the primary focus of the Army's current transformation journey. The final organization and structure of the OF is not yet known; however, the principles guiding its development are: agility, versatility, survivability, and sustainability. The OF is required to ensure the Army's success in future operations in a complex, volatile and uncertain environment. This Strategy Research Project examines the Army's leader development plan to train effective OF officers. It evaluates the efficacy of the enduring leader competencies as identified by the Army Training and Leader Development Panel and used in evolving leader development doctrine. The current Army plans for transforming the institutional domain of officer leader development are analyzed and evaluated with respect to the desired OF leader competencies. This paper then makes recommendations to improve the Army's leader development transformation as well as recommendations for further study.
