The U. S. Army Chief of Staff Professional Reading List |
| The Chief of Staff of the United States
Army has designated this professional reading list as a list for leaders
-- and a pillar for his leadership development efforts. We can never
spend too much time thinking about our profession. There is no better
way to develop the sure knowledge and confidence required of our calling
than a disciplined, focused commitment to a personal course of reading
and study. Our profession is unique and , as General MacArthur said,
predicated on "the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there
is no substitute for victory. That if you fail, the nation will be
destroyed." We must all do our utmost to prepare for the heavy responsibilities
of military leadership. |

New Distance Learning Program (earmyu.com) |
| GETTING a laptop computer and printer
into the hands of soldiers wanting to earn technical certification
or a college degree just took a step forward. Secretary
of the Army Louis Caldera hosted the Army University Access Online
Industry Day in August to generate prospective contractor interest
in the recently announced distance-learning initiative to help soldiers
complete college "anytime, anyplace, anywhere they can take their
laptops."
Potential vendors must provide a technology
package that will include a laptop computer, printer, Internet service
provider account, maintenance and warranty of equipment, and help-
desk assistance to each soldier who enrolls in distance-learning
courses.
"We also want to maximize the number
of educational programs available to students, so that they can
reap the benefits of competition, including increased choice, reduced
cost and improved program quality," Caldera said.
