The US Army's competitive advantage directly relates to its capacity to learn faster and adapt more quickly than its adversaries. The current pace of technological change increases the Army's challenge to maintain the edge over potential adversaries. In the highly competitive global learn- learning environment where technology provides all players nearly ubiquitous access to information, the Army cannot risk failure through complacency, lack of imagination, or resistance to change. Outpacing adversaries is essential to maintain the Army's global status and to fulfill its responsibilities to the nation. And that right there is a little quote from US Army TRADOC 525-8-2, US Army Learning Concept , and it's an interesting thing to think about, 'cause we, we all need to be learning all the time. And if you don't keep that front of mind, it's real easy to not learn anything- Mm ... and not progress. Whether it's leadership, whether it's your professional career, whatever your professional career is, whether it's working with a new piece of gear, whether it's jujitsu, whether it's fighting, whether it's tactics, whether it's music or art or software, I- that's for you.
