    He made a powerful case that a military branch he
called “very, very unbalanced” has to change. In Iraq and       by Jennifer Gunn, MCoE Public Affairs
Afghanistan, young leaders had 534 Army training manuals
that hadn’t been updated in 10 or 15 years, and they had to
turn to wiki-type websites to share lessons learned.
    The military, Cone believes, needs to develop digi-
tal apps and video games to train soldiers. “We gotta get
smarter, we’ve gotta use digital applications, we’ve got to
understand how this generation learns,” he said. “If we do
not capture their energy and imagination for the future of
our Army, we will fail. We cannot go back to the Mr. Potato
Head training of the past.”
    There should be fewer leaders for a military that on Jan.
1 will become a peacetime force, he said. But the brightest
among them need to help write new doctrine and manuals.
To do that, Cone believes many should first be sent back to
graduate school.                                                Sgt. Byron Arnold, of A Company, 1st Battalion, 29th In-

In Iraq and by Jennifer Gunn, MCoE Public Affairs Afghanistan, young leaders had 534 Army training manuals that hadn’t been updated in 10 or 15 years, and they had to turn to wiki-type websites to share lessons learned.

We cannot go back to the Mr. Potato Head training of the past.” There should be fewer leaders for a military that on Jan. 1 will become a peacetime force, he said.
