Problems with Army PME

I've written several times about my dissatisfaction with the intellectual climate at Squadron Officer's School, the Air Force's Professional Military Education course for captains. Apparently, the Air Force isn't the only service with stagnant PME courses. Small Wars Journal has an article this morning by Army Capt Crispin Burke, titled Sorry, Pentathlete Wasn't on the Syllabus. Burke laments the antiquated exercises at the Aviation Captain's Career Course, which focus on Fulda Gap-style conventional battles and neglect counterinsurgency and the political, economic, and social dimensions of warfare. Apparently the Army's newfound intellectual rigor has yet to penetrate many places.
