To provide skills- and knowledge-based curriculum elements to enhance training of newly reconstituted "national" armies in countries the U.S. is trying to rebuild.Yeah - the proposal needs some work, but I think the basic idea is sound.
Such curriculum elements to includeComprehensive history of the country, with emphasis on past glories and enduring contributions to world civilization;The intent of these curriculum elements is to instill a sense of "nation" and "nationalism" in the targeted audience. If a country's reconstituted military, under U.S. leadership, is to become the core of a new nation, that military ought be given a sense that it is fighting for something. Some attempt to instill national pride in our chosen instrument ought be made.
Detailed biographies of historical national heroes;
Famous battles fought on the nation's soil throughout history.
With a couple of historians and educators on the payroll, and my real experience developing focused curricula in industry, this oughta be worth at least $1M. [note: 'update' was to redefine experience of my team - PhD historians aren't really required, as originally spec'd. I've friends & relatives with graduate degrees in history, and considerable teaching experience. I believe my team to be fully competitive!]
Now, how do I sell it to DoD?
Any help would be appreciated.
