Publisher's Synopsis
The U.S. Army War College provides an excellent environment for selected military officers and government civilians to reflect and use their career experience to explore a wide range of strategic issues. To assure that the research developed by Army War College students is available to army and Department of Defense leaders, the Strategic Studies Institute publishes selected papers in its Carlisle Papers in Security Strategy Series. Colonel Steven M. Jones, the author of this Carlisle Paper and member of the Class of 2003, explores the nature of command climate in the U.S. Army, its antecedents, and its consequences. He then proposes strategic remedies relating to unit climate assessment, leader development, performance appraisal, and accountability systems.
