Developing Army Civilian Strategic Leaders for the 21st Century

Abstract

Abstract : During this time of persistent conflict, the Army Civilian Corps (ACC) is heavily relied upon to provide support to the Soldiers of the Operational and Generating forces. To support these Soldiers the Army leadership knows it is important that all members of the Army, including Army Civilians, have the same set of core Values. That being said, the Army Civilian strategic leaders have reevaluated the manner in which Army Civilians are professionally educated. The Army Civilian strategic leadership realized it needed to reform the education and developmental process for the ACC of the future. It is equally important to ensure that a major emphasis is placed on attending the developmental courses offered to the ACC. Emphasis by strategic leaders on the Civilian Education System, (CES) will reinforce the value of education initiatives to ACC members and the continued internalization of Army Values, thereby creating a better workforce more capable of sustaining the Army force, and developing Strategic Leaders for the 21st century.
