TRADOC Senior Leaders Conference

[Bill Jakola]

This is really exciting stuff. Never before has public dialogue interacted in this way with the senior TRADOC leaders who are currently building our Army and future leaders.

Here is a preview (the first paragraph) of the Army Stand-To message describing this conference. It highlights the TRADOC senior leaders' desire to interact with the public by engaging in this SWJ discussion board. Transparency and public interaction are critical aspects of the TRADOC mission; and, your perspective is important. Since we need to build highly adaptive leaders who are prepared to execute missions over extended time-frames, this conference will provide the first public discussion of how TRADOC plans to develop leaders.

The Stand-To is available this Friday, 14 August at: http://www.army.mil/standto/

"During the US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) semi-annual Senior Leaders Conference (TSLC) TRADOC leaders discuss emerging issues and chart the way ahead. Now for the first time, TRADOC will make the conference transparent and seek public interaction by allowing anyone to follow the conversation, contribute comments and ask questions via a Small Wars Journal (SWJ) discussion board. At the 18–20 August conference, two editors and a moderator from SWJ will blog live, providing readers observations and ongoing commentary about the proceedings."

Hi Bill,

Your right, it is exciting ! I must say that I am definitely looking forward to the event. I'm hoping that we will have a really good audience, and I expect that we will be seeing discussion continuing well after the conference itself officially ends.

Cheers,

Marc

I just can't wait to see Ken's answers, err, questions.
