Army to Take Closer Look at Battalion Commanders

Army officers hoping to take command of battalions will now be required to attend a five-day assessment that will measure physical aptitude and written and verbal communication skills. The program also includes an interview with behavioral psychologists. Officials announced the renew requirements earlier this month. Starting in January and February, officers on the lieutenant colonel centralized selection list will attend the Battalion Commander Assessment Program at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
