Abstract
Professional military education is drawing on the principles and learning theories of adult education. With a desire to educate service members for higher-order thinking, the focus trends toward improving critical-thinking skills and creating an organizational learning environment. Enhancing the relationship among adult educators and the military offers an opportunity to achieve a learning organization sooner while developing the intellectual capital of service members.
