The Cuban Missile Crisis is an interesting example. The Army had another option to offer the President largely because it had a different Strategy on how to fight a war. The Army had a Missile-Counter Missile-Civil Defense Plan that was largely different than the other services. I saw this up close and personal and the Army has never received the proper credit for preventing WW3-IMO.
The point being if the Army concentrates on offering differant policy advice(option) than everybody else it will be easier to develop a proper curriculum for the PME of it's soldiers. It would also increase its ability to influence policy simply because it is differant. Just my opinion.
