DEFM350 - Military Human Resource Management
View Academic Calendar
This course will concentrate on military human resource management or personnel management. This course will take two tracks. First, the course will explore human resource management from a business perspective. Secondly, it will explore human resource management from a military perspective. Leading soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen in combat is categorically different in nature and function from anything in the business world and its subsystems. Combat leaders are not middle-tier managers. It is acknowledged that there are limitations in using the business model. In every organization, people make the difference between success and failure. In assessing the flow of history, Arnold Toynbee concluded that the rise and fall of societies has depended almost exclusively on the quality of the people and the leaders. For those in the military, and defense establishment: the officers, NCOs, soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen and civilians are critical to whatever we do. Personnel issues can determine combat effectiveness as much or more than doctrine, logistics, or technology. Personnel are still at the heart of conflict.
