Mission Command (MC) has
profound implications to military officers’ assigned positions of authority and
task. The author suggests however, that teaching methodologies presently in use
work to undermine the concept of MC by emphasizing process as opposed to
outcomes. Students of the military arts therefore focus upon the anticipated textbook
solution as opposed to taking risk and thinking non-traditionally. Vandergriff
provides the readers with practical suggestions on how to address these issues
both from a student and an instructor perspective. His work is both informative
and timely and founded upon proven developmental practices; it also
incorporates historical examples as proof of concept. Recommended.
