MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT: Transforming Civilian Leader Development

1. The transformation of Army Civilian Leader Development comes at a critical time. Our civilians must be innovative, adaptive, and confident to deal with complexity and uncertainity in a constantly evolving environment. For this reason, the Army is accelerating its development and implementation of the Civilian Education System (CES)
2. The CES is a centralized, progressive, and sequential education system that consists of foundation, basic, intermediate, and advanced courses. The scheduled implementation of courses is Jan 07.
3. To facilitate the accelerated development and implementation of the CES, our current Civilian Leader Development courses and programs will immediately phase out and transition into the CES curriculum.
