The purpose of this research is to demonstrate how personnel policies in support of the operational force have affected the ability of majors to attend Intermediate Level Education (ILE), evident by the growing backlog of majors waiting to attend ILE. Critical to effectively changing this situation is the ability to maintain ILE of all junior field grade officers. For over a century, the U.S. Army has invested considerable time, energy and talent in the Professional Military Education (PME) of officers. Senior leaders insist that it takes education to build a quality force consisting of professional, well trained, and highly creative men and woman to harness new technologies and concepts in transforming an organization and adopting innovative doctrine. As the operational force continues to bear the strain of fighting a protracted war, some of the Army's institutional systems, specifically ILE, have had to continue operate at reduced manning, evident by the rising number of both unfilled school seats and mounting number of majors waiting to attend ILE. Without the intellectual knowledge gained from attending ILE, junior field grades of today will not be capable of culturally transforming and preparing the Army for the complex environment of future warfare. The study benefits from information collected from United States Command and General Staff College, Human Resource Command, as well as Army Regulations and recent publications and interviews of individuals responsible for monitoring and distributing officers to ILE to arrive at the recommendations. This monograph assessed the ability of ILE to ready majors for future challenges through teaching of relevant subjects for now and the near future. The monograph also pointed to some disturbing trends of an increasing number of unfilled seats at ILE.
