CHAPTER 4 – RESOURCES FOR THE COMMAND TEAM

 

LINE OF SIGHT

Your key on-line hub for digital resources is Line of Sight, a professional military education web hub for the Canadian Army. The aim is to enhance historical mindedness, increase awareness and understanding of current challenges across the Spectrum of Conflict and sharpen applied PME – problem-solving skills. As Line of Sight evolves a profession of arms network will take root and members of all ranks will be able to share their insights and ‘learn’ according to their own unique needs. Here you will find the Commander Canadian Army’s Reading List (2015) and the Commander Canadian Army’s Reading List Supplements. Explore ‘The Network’ on the site which has links to the best Allied PME sites. The Worthington Force Staff Ride Handbook and the The Staff Ride: A Planning Guide are available in PDF form on Line of Sight.
