the U.S. Army has adapted extremely well to repeated
deployments in the last 10 years. All things come
with tradeoffs though, and one relative weakness
that has resulted from a decade of frequent deployments
is the lessened ability of the Army’s junior leaders to prepare
for and conduct training. The Army needs to look at
ways to train leaders to conduct training, and the eight-step
training model is a proven and effective method to accomplish
this.
