<br/><br/> Adaptability is critical to the success of modern armed forces. However the United States military and its overall procedures are modelled on Industrial Age corporate structures and processes. These were designed to enable the mobilisation of large armies of essentially interchangeable soldiers. These procedures worked well in the past but are no longer appropriate yet they are now deeply embedded in US Army culture. This paper argues that the modern army requires quality above quantity, and to achieve this it must develop adaptive leaders. Proposes a new professional leader educational model that will focus on "how" rather than "what" to think.
