Challenging the “School Solution” at
Fort Leavenworth

T

oday’s CGSOC students receive advanced instruction in critical thinking, a process essential to adaptive leadership. As
David Jones’ new study demonstrates, critical thinking is not
new to Army education. In Perceptions of Airpower and Implications
for the Leavenworth Schools, Jones examines how the students in the
Command and General Staff School during the interwar period used
critical processes to understand the new concept of airpower. The
intellectual work of these officers, who would become the architects
of victory in the Second World War, reveals how critical thinking
shaped their appreciation of airpower’s impact on doctrine, organization, training, and materiel.
