A variety of factors have recently eroded traditional tenets of military professionalism. The Chairman has called on members of the profession to ponder and treat these issues across the spectrum of professional military education (PME) and training. He asked the Institute for National Security Ethics and Leadership (INSEL) at the National Defense University to convene a conference to stimulate reflection and encourage the PME community to rethink its approach. JFQ offers edited versions of some of the January 10, 2011, conference presentations in this issue. Moreover, INSEL is posting a video of all the speakers and panels on its Web site. It also plans to publish an anthology of readings on military professionalism through NDU Press. |
