This book was released on 2012-09-30 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "German General Staff Officer Education and Current Challenges" examines the institutional education of German General Staff Officers, as experienced by the author, and offers a "Conceptual Competency-Skill-Framework" for professional development. Five competencies (Physical, Intrinsic Motivation, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Cognitive Competency) and five skills (Deduction, Synthesis, Analysis, Induction, and Revaluation Skill) define this model through a process of theory and praxis. A case study of an operational planner for the first German Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Afghanistan (2003) describes the experiences of the author and identifies competencies and skills that required improvisation, rather than reliance on a model of previous institutional, operational, and personal preparation. This monograph commends the balanced holistic approach of the German General Staff Officer course at the Fuehrungsakademie der Bundeswehr (German General Staff Officer Academy), and recommends several educational venues to improve the specific competencies and skills in an institutional setting. The trinity of premier institutional education, operational experience and practical insight, and a dedicated life-long program for professional self-development, invigorates the military leader for emergent roles in national, regional, and global mission responsibilities. The ultimate value of a conceptual competency-skill framework is the personal assessment, evaluation, and integration for professional learning and performance that results in how to think, act, and lead.

Download or read book The Prussian German General Staff System and Its Impact on the General and Admiral Staff Officers of the Federal Armed Forces of Today written by Christian O. E. Millotat and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only 3.8 percent of the officers of the Federal Armed Forces are General and Admiral Staff officers. After a demanding selection process, most attend the Federal Armed Forces Command and General Staff Academy (Fuehrungsakademieder Bundeswehr) in Hamburg a two-year General and Admiral Staff course. They are entitled to add in the General Staff Service (im Generalstabsdienst) to their military rank and hold the key staff and most of the command positions in the Bundeswehr. It is possible that officers without General Staff officer training obtain temporary assignments to such positions. The distinctive characteristic of the Bundeswehr General and Admiral Staff officer, which distinguishes him from his colleagues of all other armed forces, is his dual responsibility. As in other armies, the German General and Admiral Staff officer relieves his commander from the technical details of Staff work; but in the German system, in addition, his main task is to advise his commander in all matters and the commander is obliged to hear his opinion. The General and Admiral Staff officer then bears the shared responsibility for the relevance of his advice.

Download or read book Transformation of the German Reichsheer German Army After World War I Wehrmacht General Hans Von Seeckt Nazis and Hitler Invasions of Poland and France Operation Barbarossa Second World War written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the end of the World War I, the major combatants engaged in varying degrees of reorganization and reformation to incorporate the lessons learned from the conflict. Germany faced the pressing need to quickly reconstitute and reorganize her armed forces to meet both external and internal threats. The Reichsheer (German Army from 1919-1935) was the only major combatant to conduct a thorough and systematic study of the tactical and operational lessons of the war. The Reichswehr transformational efforts in doctrine, reorganization and training laid the foundation for the expansion and early World War II successes of the Wehrmacht. The research question of this thesis was to explore exactly how the Reichsheer leaders transformed their warfighting doctrine. This thesis also looks closely at the underlying organizational philosophy, and how the philosophy guided the Reichsheer leadership cadre in affecting change within the organization. Reichsheer doctrinal manuals, directives and contemporary journal articles, supplemented with American observer reports, served as primary source material for the thesis. The thesis will clearly link the importance of a leader creating and articulating an envisioned end state in successfully effecting change within a military organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muth examines the different paths the United States Army and the German Armed Forces traveled to select, educate, and promote their officers in the crucial time before World War II. He demonstrates that the military education system in Germany represented an organized effort where each school provided the stepping stone for the next. But in the US, there existed no communication about teaching contents among the various schools.

Book excerpt: "A new and authoritative study of Hitler's relationship with the German Army general staff in the period leading up to and during World War II. Examines the general staff's struggle to work effectively under Hitler, despite facing many challenges--not least the F'uhrer's own divisive policies and directives. Illuminates the fractured nature of the German army command in the latter stages of the war as the general staff was marginalized by the Nazis. Dispels many widely held myths concerning the key staff officers that served the Third Reich, while also identifying their personal and collective failures and oversights. Analyzes and evaluates the army's involvement in the German resistance movement, the repercussions of the abortive assassination attempt against Hitler in the von Stauffenberg plot of 1944, and the unsuccessful bid to initiate Operation Valkyrie."--P. [4] of jacket.

White and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the essence of German military professionalism as exemplified by the nineteenth century Prussian German Staff. The study focuses on the most important Prussian military reformer--Gerhard Johann David von Scharnhorst, who in 1801 founded the Militarische Gesellschaft (Military Society) in Berlin. The Gesellschaft became the focal point for the transformation of the Prussian army from a robotic war machine into a modern fighting force that was instrumental in defeating Napolean in 1813 and in 1815. The author examines the following elements of this military society: its membership; the specifics of its agenda; the intellect, imagination, and habits of thought, reflection, and objective analysis of its members; Scharnhorst's particular contributions.
