Army Institution
"The Army is the most outstanding institution in every country, for it alone makes possible the existence of all civic institutions“
- Field Marshal Helmut Graf von Moltke (1800-1891)
Army Institution
"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.” - Charles M. Province
Rethinking in Professional Military Education
Strategic Survey 2007: Uncertainty Scenario
The world in 2008 will be consumed by :• Politics of parochialism – sectarian rivalries and religious disputes . • Balance-of-power politics – alliance politics and arms races… role, status, alliance, deterrence, containment in the process of renegotiation.• “Non-polar world”: allows aggressive non-state actors to advance their particularist strategic struggles.• Managing nuclear proliferation and terrorism will remain the priorities. • Changes and uncertainty in world leadership.
20th Century: Fighting Known Enemy
Most of military training colleges concentrate on: Certain skills and knowledge required to fight known
enemy. Since the end of Cold War military education offered
scant preparation for postwar challenges. Operation for peace keeping, peacemaking,
post-conflict operation. Diplomatic negotiation and solution. Rebuilding of a nation after conflict. Disaster and calamity operations. Etc.
21st Century: Additional Military Competency
Responding to conventional military threats.Meeting “irregular” challenges, such as terrorism
and insurgent campaigns.Combating catastrophic dangers, such as WMD.Countering “disruptive threats” from military
competitors who develop unexpected capabilities.Peace keeping and peace making strategy: Politics of
sectarian and religious disputesDisaster and Calamity management and operation
due to Climate Changes: Knowledge management for Uncertainties in decision
making and management.Strategic contingency planning in non-polar world &
uncertainty in leaderships.
Reform Required to Manage Uncertainty
Thinking skills: problem solving, analysis, synthesis, planning, implementation, sustenance.
Language training to negotiation skills.Advance scientific and engineering training at
graduate and post graduate level.Military and International Laws.Geography, History, Politics, Culture and
Civilizations: ready for uncertainty any where any time.
Moral, ethical and legal acculturation, internalization & externalization: the art of war and the art of liberty, a gentleman and an officer, and also an intellectual.
21th Century expects every officer to operate in an increasingly complex environment.
Thinking skills are the best preparation for complexity, ambiguity and uncertainty – skills at graduate level.
Professional education requirement should be the same for active and reserve officers.
“Those who love peace must prepare for war.”: You want peace , you must be strong to defense yourself.
Reform Required to Manage Uncertainty
When knowledge and skills be taught?
Mould them when they are young – before 30 years old.
When education will have its greatest impact.
Early education will prepare them for life-long learning: for professional self study later in career.
“First love dies hard”: so does love for learning.
Mind run the body
"If you are going to win any battle, you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do... the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.“
-General George S. Patton
Sun Tzu, The Art of War
To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it.
Where should they be taught?
