The monograph opens by examining the necessity of the Army becoming a learning organization. The evolving operational environment is increasingly complex requiring adaptive forces using simpler solutions and achieving decisive action quicker than the opponent. Learning organizations have these qualities and more. From there, a hypothetical learning model outlining the 'Objective Force Disciplines', while taking into account learning theory and Objective Force concepts, serves as a benchmark for comparison.
