Course Description:
This course examines the challenges of leading tactical teams in the complex Contemporary Operating Environment (COE). The course highlights dimensions of terrain analysis, patrolling, and operation orders. Further study of the theoretical basis of the Army leadership framework explores the dynamics of adaptive leadership in the context of military operations. This course provides a smooth transition into upper-level military science courses. Students demonstrate greater self awareness as they assess their own leadership styles and practice communication and team building skills. COE case studies provide insight into the importance and practice of teamwork and tactics in real-world scenarios.
