Leadership development in the military is a multifaceted process that takes place over an officer's entire career. At its most basic level, this development occurs through professional experiences and a progressive series of professional military education, of which joint professional military education (JPME) is a subset. In May 2020, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) issued a vision statement with guidance and objectives for leadership development in the armed services. This vision calls for an outcomes-based approach that emphasizes ingenuity, intellectual application, and military professionalism. The new approach focuses on what students must accomplish rather than traditional metrics, such as curriculum content or the amount of time spent learning specific material. The JCS also emphasized the need to integrate officer talent management (TM) and JPME because these functions are so closely connected. To support the implementation of this vision, the authors reviewed foundational, policy, and implementation documents; conducted semistructured interviews with senior representatives of relevant joint and service offices; and analyzed officer personnel data. They used these methods to (1) describe joint educational institutions' transitions to an outcomes-based approach, (2) examine performance expectations and the qualities needed in effective joint officers, (3) explore how joint performance is measured, and (4) see how challenges in TM systems and processes affect the implementation of JPME, Phase II. They also provide recommendations for how joint stakeholders and the military services can best integrate the TM and JPME processes to support the outcomes-based approach.

I No Longer Play the Game

The story of a young man's emergence from a headful of secrets to a life of understanding. In the half light of James Malloy's beautiful visions are two worlds: one which he lives in, one which lives in him. To outsiders he's an average, perhaps rather quiet, youngster, sometimes in trouble, much loved by his parents. But he knows that the lights and colours, the voices and amazement inside his head, and the way they sometimes escape through his mouth, make him different. Different to everyone, until one day he meets Stephanie. The truths she will tell James drive him to examine his life, to find out what lies at the centre of his curious world. And so begins a journey that will take him from Australia to the west coast of Ireland, from adolescence to adulthood, from isolation to acceptance. Haunting and optimistic, Anthony Lawrence's remarkable debut novel is a delightful story of one young man learning that all things are possible if he can overcome his own fear.

A description of the inertial technology used for guidance, control, and navigation, discussing in detail the principles, operation, and design of sensors, gyroscopes, and accelerometers, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of particular systems. An engineer with long practical experience in the field, the author elucidates such recent developments as fibre-optic gyroscopes, solid-state accelerometers, and the global positioning system. This will be of interest to researchers and practising engineers involved in systems engineering, aeronautics, space research, and navigation on both land and sea.

Modern Inertial Technology

Each stanza of Anthony Lawrence's Ken gradually unveils, with a satirical and compassionate eye, a plastic doll's restricted identity. Ken, the occupant of engendered humanity, is observed in a series of adventures, transgressions, and unresolved intimate encounters. Delightfully humorous and intellectually credible with a melancholy edge, Ken is a book for our times.
