Doctrinal Guide to Military Leadership & Battle Focused Training
Leadership is the central element of combat power. Confident, competent, and informed leadership focuses the other elements of combat power by formulating sound operational ideas and assuring discipline and motivation in the force. It serves as the catalyst that creates conditions for success.
In the years since 9-11, the international security environment has become increasingly dangerous. Military commitments have increased on a global scale. Sustained levels of force deployment have stressed our Soldiers, their equipment, and the institutions that generate them. Leadership in today’s operational environment is often the difference between success and failure. Leaders provide purpose, direction, and motivation in all operations.
