Summer 2015 45 By Brigadier General Maria R. Gervais T hree critical factors must be addressed in our continuing competence as Dragon Soldiers—institutional training, practical experience within units, and self-development. One of the key components of self- development is professional reading. It builds an independent basis of knowledge upon which to form opinions and make judgments. Professional reading continues to be vital as Soldiers maintain the initiative of today and prepare for an uncertain tomorrow.
