Is There a Need to Transform Our Education System

Abstract

This Strategic Research Project looks at our Officer Education System (OES) during WWII Korea Vietnam and OIF/OEF. The Army evolved its intermediate and senior level colleges (CGSOC and USAWC) before during and after every major conflict of the Twentieth century and it continues to make changes to these invaluable institutions into the Twenty first century. By continuing to make changes to curriculums and learning environments our future leaders will be prepared for the challenges facing them in Iraq Afghanistan and other locations yet to be identified. Minor changes including lifelong learning maintaining experienced faculty at our institutions and capturing the experience returning from the battlefield to better educate our officer corps are presented.
