LORENZ, USAF IR UNIVERSITY IS currently in the process of transforming for the “long war” and beyond. The idea of a university reorganizing for war Amay seem odd, but in the Western way of war, warriors and academics have always enjoyed a close relationship. The West’s first great gen­ eral, Alexander, was tutored by Aristotle, and when he went to war, he did so with academics in his train. According to noted military histo­ rian Victor Davis Hanson, the close relation­ ship between warriors and scholars in the Western way of war is one of the main reasons for its success across the millennia.1 In the US military, the connection between thinkers and fighters has become closer than ever, and ex­ ploiting this relationship to the fullest will prove key to winning the current war. Doing so, however, will require (1) understanding how military education differs from the tradi­ tional civilian model and (2) reorganizing our present system of military education to meet the emerging challenge. The Unique Nature of Military Education At its core, the US system of military educa­ tion does not differ significantlyfrom the civil­ ian system.
