PRACTICAL EXERCISE PE 2-02-5

TITLE: Military Heritage Essay

INTRODUCTION:

It is a well-accepted fact that the past helps determine the present. Likewise, events and

personalities of the past shape today's military and those same events and personalities will

contribute to the military’s future. The senior enlisted community must make tomorrow's

leaders, regardless of rank, aware of military history so they too can advance in mission and

purpose without having to repeat past mistakes. This exercise provides the student the

opportunity to explore the history and development of the United States/foreign military through

experience, research, and knowledge. Additionally, as Senior Enlisted Leaders, the ability to

develop and submit detailed written projects is essential. Providing information in a well-

prepared and effective document often determines the success or failure of a project.

INFORMATION:

This assignment provides the student an opportunity to apply critical thinking skills in the

development of a fact-based heritage essay. For the purpose of this exercise, the student’s essay

is the basis for a heritage briefing to the command.

heritage theme. It may not be a topic the student previously researched, published, or presented.

Everything in this assignment, including the essay, must be unclassified.

etc. and write an essay on the history, evolution, and effects of this particular topic. Each

student in the group will have a different topic approved by the Faculty Advisor.
