This paper is a "directed telescope" focused on the Captain's Career Courses (CCCs). It seeks to answer the research question, how should TRADOC change its education system, with specific regard to the CCCs, to better develop and prepare mentally agile leaders for the Army's new strategic reality? To answer this question, this paper examines the new strategic reality and its implications on our officers' professional military education, as well as the concepts of individual and organizational agility, specifically investigating adaptability, innovation, and learning. It then advances a recommended model to develop agile leaders, while making the institutional system more agile as well.
