Advance Sheet

1. SCOPE

Analyze The Army Strategic Governance is a 9.5-Hour lesson aimed at providing knowledge on how the Army is governed in echelons above corps. The lesson begins by reviewing doctrinal guidance that gives the United States Armed Forces the authority to accomplish its mission. Information added to the doctrinal guidance focuses on the considerations Senior Human Resources Technicians must take into account when executing strategic human resources actions.

While the lesson provides basic key information you must know and understand to be successful in your strategic future assignments, it cannot and will not provide you with everything you need to know. Executing human resources actions at the strategic level, like many HR services and functions, are filled with complex and dynamic events. To best prepare you for these events, this lesson uses information to highlight responsibilities and challenges faced by HR providers at echelon above corps. You are expected to come to class prepared to participate, sharing knowledge and your real-world experiences to reach conclusions. Often you will find that there is no one “right” answer to a question. Instead you will be required to propose and defend possible “best” answers. If your group works together well, you may even find the “best” questions are the ones you ask yourselves.

Take note that there is one assignment due before the lesson begins in addition to your pre-class reading. Several self-development products are also provided for you to learn more about what interests you, or what you feel you need to spend more time on. We will discuss the various National Strategies, Force Management Overview, Army Organizations, Mobilization and Deployment, National Guard and Reserve Components, Force Readiness, Military HR Management, and Defense Support to Civil Authority (DCSA). Think about these topics now, and what questions you may want to raise during class.

The lesson is interrelated with most of the other key function lessons you have had or will receive, and will support the other lessons in the WOILE-FO Course.
