Book excerpt: "The purpose of this monograph is to examine whether the measures of effectiveness used in Special Forces officer education venues are sufficient to address the operational requirements over a career in a holistic manner. Past education evaluations approach measurements in an isolated manner and are limited temporally. The educational experiences of the officer over a career have many lasting aspects that should be evaluated in context if approached in a holistic fashion and, in great part, should be in the same lines as operational requirements. In order to recognize these aspects in relation to the changing nature of requirements, an education base that is even broader than what is provided today may provide additional avenues of approach to both the requirements and relevant measures of evaluation. Consequently, since it is unrealistic to expect students to be any better than their educators, education professionals need to be grown from within the Special Forces community to serve as 'educational artists' linking the strategic education requirements of the future with the tactical implementation of Special Forces officers. The methodology of this paper is to examine the context of Special Forces officer education through its brief history and consider how its effectiveness is managed. Typical measures of effectiveness are considered demonstrating common limitations use. This examination is relevant due to the nature of current and near-term threats which may involve continually changing conflicts that actually exceed the time period of an officer's career. Broadening Special Forces officer education to include greater exposure to more disciplines would create better cognitive freedom for plans and operations. Similarly, measures of effectiveness that are structured to tie aspects of events back to educational experiences in the context of the officer's career can better provide the insight necessary to keep Special Forces education relevant, effective, and efficient."--Abstract.

Marshall, that "American military officers, of whatever service, should share common ground ethically and morally." In this new edition, the authors methodically explore that common ground, reflecting on the basics of the Profession of Arms, and the officer's special place and distinctive obligations within that profession and especially to the Constitution.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to identify the SOF unique educational requirements for Special Forces (SF) Officers attending the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (USACGSC) for intermediate-level education. This question came to the forefront at the USACGSC when the U.S. Army Special Operations Command requested JPME I credit for Officers attending the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, CA. The purpose was to find additional opportunities to develop the SF major to meet the challenges of the changing global environment in which the SF officer would operate. The college's concern was that SF Officers would not receive the proper professional development required to prepare them for the remainder of their professional careers. By analyzing professions and identifying common denominators one can determine the essential pillars of a profession and apply those pillars to the Profession of Arms. The author's analysis identified the following pillars: a body of knowledge, corporateness/socialization, and service to a greater good. The next step was to examine history to find out when these pillars came together to form the Army's Profession of Arms. This examination showed that the Profession of Arms evolved over time. The Goldwater-Nichols Act (GNA) was the most recent evolution in the Profession of Arms. This legislation reformed the Department of Defense (DoD) and in the process created the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). This was the beginning of a Joint Profession of Arms and also a SOF Profession of Arms. The author then examined the role that the pillars of the SOF Profession of Arms have played in the SF Officer's development and found that the pillars did not prepare these officers for their entire careers. He concludes that the Army can foster a SOF Profession of Arms by taking a holistic approach to the professional development of the SF officer.

Book excerpt: "Current officer professional military education (PME) is lacking in the education of special operations field grade officers due to lack of regulatory guidance. Special operations officer should be afforded PME founded upon the instruction of history, theory, doctrine and research of special operations and its issues. In this way, special operations officers would be afforded perspectives and development uniquely concerned with the issues they could face in future assignments. The development of special operations officers is fundamental to future successes and advancement of special operations. Over the last several decades, special operations have been heavily relied upon to achieve national security objectives, and this trend will continue for the foreseeable future. The continued reliance on the special operations community motivates an improvement in the development of its field grade officers"--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are many opportunities for a field grade Special Operations Forces (SOF) officer to receive an education in the military today. These programs have much to offer for a SOF officer and meet the officers mid-career educational requirements. Many education programs provide opportunities to increase an officers knowledge on interagency relationships, cultural awareness and language training. While opportunities exist to learn in these three areas in various programs, they are not all together as part of a single academic program. Reorganizing several existing education programs to include these three areas into a single curriculum will lead to a more concise learning environment for SOF majors. A Special Forces Major serving as an interagency fellow stated, Building and maintaining strong relationships between the United States Army and its governmental partners is essential to bringing forth a positive outcome in the war on terror. The interagency relationship is just as important for SOF, but of equal importance is becoming regional experts and speaking a language. The ability for SOF to be innovative in education will benefit its officers and may lead to other positive educational opportunities. This will help SOF officers remain intellectually capable to solve complex problems. While SOF consists of a large number of officers, the focus of this paper is on the education of Army Special Forces officers with consideration given to the rest of SOF. It is important to make effective use of the time a SOF officer is using for education. A two-year academic program for majors of special operations should focus on interagency relationships, cultural awareness, and foreign language training as an integral part of fulfilling their education."--P. 1.

Howard argues for graduate level education for the junior leaders of our Special Forces (SF). By exploring the SOF future strategic environment that includes globalization, demographic trends, competition for resources, transnational nonstate actors, advanced technology, and emerging powers Brigadier General Howard identifies "cultural competency" as critical to the development of junior SF officers. The need for the SF operator, at once, to effectively interact with indigenous peoples, interagency counterparts, and transnational, nongovernmental players suggests that a new program of graduate level study is needed early-on in the officer's career.By Howard's analysis, such graduate programs should focus on developing one's intellectual capacity to synthesize information concerning areas such as interagency relationships, language proficiency, cultural, socialpolitical anthropology, negotiation, and cross-cultural communications. So educated, the junior SF officer is enabled to adapt and apply his intellectual prowess to confront the daily challenges he will certainly face in the field. General Downing stated that SF officers are "the senior U.S. representative and implementer of U.S. foreign policy"..."out there." Howard suggests that programs at Naval Post Graduate School and other traditional graduate programs do not educate junior SF officers because those students are typically majors (O-4s) that move on to senior positions after graduate school. Howard argues, earlier educational opportunities should be available to the junior SF O-3s-this is where additional graduate level effort is needed.
