Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores reforms necessary to create a truly modern, effective, and socially just army. It advocates for the abolition of the purchase system for officer commissions, increases in officer and enlisted pay, and improved training of officer candidates, potentially through military colleges and accelerated promotion from the ranks. This book argues that these reforms will elevate the army's status and attract better-quality recruits, resolving the difficulty in securing new soldiers and making the army more reflective of the nation itself. The author believes that these changes are essential to creating an army that can meet the challenges of the modern world and better serve the needs of the nation.
