Putting the I in JIIM: Developing Army Leaders for Interagency Success

This monograph examines how the US Army prepares officers for assignments that require interagency collaboration. It argues that trends in modern warfare increase the demand for general interagency competencies. Therefore, the Army should emphasize interagency training, education, and experience in officer leader development. The paper consists of three main sections that assess current developmental models, future requirements, and potential policy implications of recommended changes. The monograph addresses domestic, expeditionary, active, reserve, and National Guard considerations throughout its discussion.
