Army Reserve Pentathletes: How Do We Build Them?
Abstract
Today and for the foreseeable future, the Army Reserve as part of the one Army, Total Force concept deploys and operates throughout the world in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Frequently, Army Reserve Senior Leaders will lead and support all services- soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines including both Active and Reserve components. And even though strategic leadership meta-competencies are just as important today as they have been in the past, as a learning organization, the Army Reserve Leader must continue to adapt to the highly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment. Part of that adaptation is the development of the Pentathlete as a Strategic Leader in the Army Reserve. Although the Active and Reserve components share many of the same challenges in this development process, Army Reserve Leaders must face additional ones-a different environment consisting of less time and resources. So given these additional challenges, how will this development take place? This project examines changes that must occur in the Army Reserve if the development of the Pentathlete is to succeed. Recommendations will address those changes that need to occur and that will lead toward the development of the Army Reserve Pentathlete.
