| description | In 1999 Gen Charles Krulak coined the term, "strategic corporal" (i.e., a junior member trained and empowered to make time-critical decisions in response to the dynamic ground, fight).

How the military manages this phenomenon will become a core leadership question in the years ahead. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
