166: Reform and Revitalization: Professionalization

We are continuing our exploration of reform and revitalization of
the US Army in the decades after the end of the Civil War. This
is a critical topic that deserves some coverage if you want to
understand the army’s performance in the future. One of the
trends that emerged in this time period was an acceleration of
moving the army toward a more professional organization. Will
look at the key ingredients of this movement, in particular with
a focus on education. A component of professionalization is
education. We will spend some time looking at the emergence of
the post-graduate education system. Please take a listen!
