TRADOC Pam 525-3-7-01Chapter 5The Cognitive Component—Training and Educating Soldiers5-1. IntroductionThe cognitive component of the human dimension consists of the critical competenciesrequired of Soldiers in the future OE and the processes and tools needed to build thosecompetencies. It is about learning, thinking, and application. Cognitive development comesfrom many resources, but the ones most readily influenced by the Army lie in modular, tailored,accessible, and realistic training and leader education (TLE). Flexibility and precisioncharacterizes future training and education. Soldier centered, it will provide relevant informationand training while enabling adaptive learning when and where needed throughout their careers.The cognitive component complements the moraland physical components discussed in earlier chapters.It is the integration and interaction of these three, whichtruly defines the Soldier, and the profession ofsoldiering. This chapter discusses the challengesinherent in shaping the youth of the future throughtraining and education. Techniques and processes thatproduced the successful infantryman of World War IIand the mechanized warrior of the cold war and DesertStorm were in some measure ill suited to the challengesof the current conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan.Innovation in TLE must be responsive to the changingOE. This will require the Army to work hand in hand with experts in learning science, training,and leader education to find and integrate effective and efficient learning approaches. Promotingadvances in learning S&T will make the TLE system an evolving and adaptive program.The following sections describe Soldier competency requirements that flow from the futureOE and key elements of the envisioned future precision TLE system. The chapter ends with abrief discussion of the need for S&T research, experimentation, and studies to provide thediscoveries and deepened understanding needed to realize the future vision for TLE, and the risksassociated with not realizing this vision.5-2. Implications of Future Changes for Training and Leader Education (TLE)The Future Operational LearnerThe new learning environmentshould center on the student, notthe institution, with every learningopportunity crafted to ensure thatthe right methods, bothpedagogical and methodological,are used to give the militarylearner just what is needed....Major General (Retired) Robert Scales,2006, p.42The introductory chapter describes many of the different characteristics and attitudes of themillennial generation that will most affect the Army in 2015 to 2024 and how the expectations ofthis future generation about jobs and careers are different from those of their parents andgrandparents. In spite of these differences, the Army can be certain that future learners will sharemany of the needs and preferences of today’s adult learners. For example, they will have a needto know why learning is required, a need to direct their learning, a need to contribute their101
