Integrating Civil-Military Relations into the Professional Military Education Curriculum within the Republic of Moldova's Military Institute
Abstract
The Republic of Moldova's Military Institute (MMI) has a bold vision to become the premier military training and academic institute for all levels of development for the Moldovan Armed Forces (MAF). The MMI currently conducts all professional development for MAF officers and non-commissioned officers. In February, 2010, United States Army War College (USAWC) conducted an assistance visit to help facilitate the development of MMI?s model for a professional development curriculum. A key aim of this visit was to provide the MMI with assistance on the development of a Professional Military Education (PME) curriculum as well as subject matter expertise in the area of civil-military relations. Over the course of a three day period, before a seminar of 20 cadets and faculty the team presented several lectures and facilitated discussions aimed at assisting with the incorporation of civil-military relations concepts into the MMI's curriculum. Dr. Marybeth Ulrich presented two lectures on the topics, "Civil-Military Relations: Key Relationships, Issues, and Concepts," and ?Framework of Civil-Military Relations Fundamentals: Constitutional Foundations.? LTC Vincent R. Lindenmeyer presented a pre-commissioning PME curriculum providing an overview of existing precommissioning models. This helped the MMI faculty curriculum development working group, with assistance from the USAWC team, to develop its mission, developmental model and concept for curriculum transformation.
