Command Staff Training Calendar

This interactive day-long course takes the classroom to the field through a visit to the Gettysburg Civil War battlefield.  The instructor will identify and illustrate key leadership characteristics using actual Civil War leaders and their actions before, during and following combat.  The discussion also will demonstrate the importance and impact of leadership and decision-making, using both positive and negative examples from the largest military engagement of this pivotal period in U.S. history.  The challenges faced by the Civil War military and civilian leaders are similar in many ways to those with which today's government and civilian managers grapple. The actions that they took and the results that followed serve as powerful, moving lessons for those in positions of leadership today.
