November 2002
- During
the week of October 28 through November 1, 2002 the Marine Corps
University – Wildland Fire Leadership Workshop was held in
Quantico, Virginia. The
intent of the workshop is to expose wildland firefighters to
proven leadership development techniques so that they can assess
the potential to transfer and use these techniques in wildland
fire training efforts. This
is the third such workshop to be sponsored by the Leadership
Committee. The 16
wildland fire attendees had the opportunity to participate in
leadership development techniques from three different schools
within the Marine Corps University curriculum: a Staff Ride with
the Command and Staff College, Sand Table Exercises at The Basic
School, and the Leadership Reaction Course at Officer Candidate
School. See trip
report for details.

Professional Reading Program and the Tactical
Decision Games Workbook.
