In fact, from the standpoints of training,assessment, and leadership development, the MSL III year is designed to be the mostintensive of a Cadet’s ROTC experience. In the MSL III year, you served in a series ofleadership positions on campus and while attending the Leader Development andAssessment Course (LDAC). Data on your performance and potential is part of yourpermanent evaluation and accessions record.Cadets can learn howto lead only if theyget a chance to applytheir leadership skillsand knowledge ina practical way.Critical ThinkingeReflect on your MSL III year.

8 ■ SECTION 1Revisions to Army Leader DoctrineThe foundation for the ROTC Leader Development Program is the Leader AssessmentReport, otherwise known as the “Blue Card,” and the Cadet Self-Assessment Report,otherwise known as the “Yellow Card.” These cards, as well as the Leadership PerformanceIndicators (Salmon Card), the Peer Evaluation Report, and the Job Performance SummaryCard were developed based on leader doctrine from FM 22-100, Army Leadership: Be, Know,Do, 31 August 1991 (see Figure 1.2). FM 22-100 was revised and replaced by FM 6-22, ArmyLeadership: Competent, Confident, and Agile, in October 2006.With the exception of the LDP cards used to evaluate Cadets, the ROTC curriculum(lesson plans and textbooks) have been updated and revised to incorporate the leader doctrinein the new field manual, FM 6-22, effective with the fall semester of the 2008-2009 academicschool year. Since the Blue Card is based on the Officer Evaluation Report format, the BlueCards (and other LDP cards) will be revised and updated when Army G-1 approves andreleases the new OER, which will also be based on FM 6-22. Once the new OER is released,ROTC will update the LDP cards and this textbook to reflect the new OER.The major change between FM 22-100 and FM 6-22 is how the Army lays out theLeader Requirements Model; that is the BE, KNOW, DO model. FM 22-100 definedleadership as the combination of Army Values and a leader’s attributes (BE), skills (KNOW),and actions (DO). (See Figure 1.3.) The current LDP cards are organized in this fashion.FM 6-22 lays out the Leadership Requirements Model slightly differently. This will leadto a change in the OER format, thus requiring an update to the ROTC leader assessmentcards. FM 6-22 breaks down the Leadership Requirements Model into two majorcomponents centered on what an Army leader IS and what an Army leader DOES; that isAttributes and Core Leader Competencies. In this model, the leader’s Character and Presencerepresent BE, the leader’s Intellectual Capacity represents KNOW, and the Core LeaderCompetencies represent the DO (Figure 1.4).Figure 1.3Former Leader Framework Doctrine from FM 22-100, Army Leadership:Be, Know, Do, 31 August 1991
