47 The Myth of the New
Complexity

60 Civil-Military Engagement
Program

Lt. Col. Clay Mountcastle, PhD,
U.S. Army, Retired

Enhancing the Mission of
Regionally Engaged Army Forces

U.S. political and military leaders claim
that we are now witnessing an era of
unprecedented complexity with a future
far more unpredictable than in the past.
However, the author demonstrates that a
complex operating environment is nothing
new for our military.

Maj. Christian A. Carr, U.S. Army
The author discusses the success of civilmilitary engagement programs conducted
by the U.S. Special Operations Command
and recommends their use by geographic
combatant commanders in support of
regionally aligned forces within their
respective areas of operation.

54 Moving Beyond the MBTI:
The Big Five and Leader
69 Biases of the Incumbents
Development
What If We Were Integrating
Stephen J. Gerras, PhD, and
Leonard Wong, PhD
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is
accepted and acclaimed throughout the
Army. The authors argue that there is no
scientific foundation to justify its popularity,
and the Army should replace the MBTI
with the “Big Five” factors as a leader
development tool to analyze personalities.

58 I’m Faded
1st Lt. Robert P. Callahan Jr.,
U.S. Army
The author recounts his own experiences
with “ethical fading” to show how a
systemic integrity problem can be
corrected by focusing on the truth.

Men into a Women’s Army?
Col. Karl E. Friedl,
U.S. Army, Retired

A U.S. Army medical professional provides
an alternate reality where male soldiers
face discrimination in a women’s Army, to
demonstrate how gender diversity can lead
to greater military effectiveness.

76 Host-Nation Cybersecurity
in Future Stability
Operations
Maj. Michael Kolton, U.S. Army
Nonmilitary organizations provide a
framework for future Army doctrine in
the fields of cybersecurity and critical
infrastructure protection. The Army should
integrate such precedents for host-nation
cybersecurity during stability operations.
