Deciding What Needs to Be Done Again: Company Grade Officer Instruction for Army After Next

By Kevin P. Dixon

This study investigates whether the methods of instruction in the Captains Career Course have evolved to account for technological advancements to train the cognitive domain. The Army is investing considerable resources in the development of information systems to assist the soldier in visualizing his battlespace. This study looks at the impact of these innovations on the cognitive demands of company command and the resulting requirements on the institutional training base. This study traces the historical background of institutional instruction of captains, then analyzes the current Armor course against both the theory and training regulation requirements. This analysis leads to the synthesis of a framework for a future model. A brief interlude incorporates the framework into a model set in the year 2005. The study concludes with recommendations to Training and Doctrine Command on how to incorporate technological advancements in cognitive instruction.
