Most people measure military power with weapons, manpower, or resources, but How Militaries Learn shows that the key to success on the modern battlefield lies in the mind. Modern weapons and plentiful resources matter little if militaries cannot organize efficiently, exercise initiative, and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. How Militaries Learn examines 200 years of data from militaries around the world and arrives at a surprising conclusion: learning to think on the battlefield depends on a deep reservoir of human capital in society. Using case studies of France, Prussia, Turkey, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates, How Militaries Learn shows the different ways that militaries learn to think and succeed on the battlefield. Anyone who wants to understand military power should read How Militaries Learn.

The International Military Educ. and Training (IMET) program provides training to students from more than 108 friendly nations. This report evaluated the financial management controls over the IMET program funds. It reviewed whether training and related costs were properly funded, accounted for, and reported; and whether the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) and Military depts. consistently applied regulations. The result: DSCA did not properly manage the IMET program to ensure that training was consistently funded, recorded, and reported. DSCA internal controls were not adequate. DSCA did not ensure that IMET funds were properly controlled and may have violated the Anti-deficiency Act. Illus. This is a print on demand report.
