Something Old, Something New: Army Leader Development in a Dynamic Environment

Abstract

Over the past two decades many aspects of military operations have changed profoundly, with the potential for equally profound effects on the things that Army leaders must know and do. The tangible threat of the Soviet Union has been replaced by amorphous, changing, and ill-defined threats and challenges. Simultaneously, the focus has shifted toward stability operations, support operations, and military operations other than war. As a result, considerations that once were peripheral now often take center stage. These changes have created a dynamic situation-volatile, unpredictable, and novel in many respects-making the conduct of military operations more complex and varied than in the past.
