Towards A U.S. Army Officer Corps Strategy for Success: Employing Talent in Bloomington, MN

Towards a U.S. Army Officer Corps Strategy for Success: Employing Talent is the last of six monographs focused upon officer talent management in the U.S. Army. Here, Colonel Casey Wardynski, Major David Lyle, and Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Michael J. Colarusso argue that the Army's current officer employment paradigm is unequal to the needs of a professional, volunteer Army facing the twin challenges of a competitive labor market and an increasingly complex global operating environment. The authors then explain the ways in which optimal employment theories, information age tools, and well-regulated market mechanisms can generate better talent matches, making the Officer Corps far more productive.
