Abstract
In order to prepare for unknown future military operating environments, the United States Army must develop leaders who are capable of operating successfully in dynamic environments. Recent research has determined that the current model of leadership may not be the best model for future development, and current theories support a more robust approach to character development This paper will discusses the theories, characteristics, models, and training programs that are relevant to the topic in preparation for the development of an all-inclusive model that could pave the way for future Army leader development training. All findings will be published in an attempt to assist the U.S. Army in identifying contributing factors to officer success in dynamic environments, which include deployments, mobilizations, and strategic crisis response.|Keywords: Dynamic, military, development
