USAR-2010

Applied Leadership I

The course contains the principal leadership instruction of the Basic Course. The instruction delves into several aspects of communication and leadership theory. The use of practical exercise is emphasized, as students are increasingly required to apply communications and leadership concepts. Virtually the entire course teaches critical “life skills.” The relevance of these life skills to future success in the Army is emphasized throughout the course. The course concludes with a major leadership and problem- solving case study which draws on all of the classroom instruction received in the Basic Course. Upon completion of this semester, students should be well grounded in the fundamental principals of leadership, and be prepared to intensify the practical application of their studies during the Advanced Course.
