This study examines how the Army's Officer Professional Management
System (OPMS) develops and manages company commanders. It examines
the development of OPMS XXI, the officer professional development
system for the twenty-first century, its purpose, and focus; how
this system ensures company grade officers acquire the knowledge,
skills, and attributes required to command at the company level and
how this system can be improved to ensure the captains commanding
the Army's companies are trained and prepared to meet the
challenges of today and in the future. Through a content analysis
of literature, exercise and operational trends, and doctrinal and
regulatory requirements, this thesis determines where OPMS XXI
falls short and suggests areas for improvement. The analysis
revealed that OPMS XXI, specifically its career field-based
management system, is focused on the development of the field-grade
officer operational and functional area specialist and not on
tactically and technically proficient company-grade officers. Yet
the foundation of the career field-base management system rests on
company grade officers fully developed in the technical and
tactical aspects of warfighting. It is recommended that a system be
developed and implemented to ensure company grade officers prior to
assuming command of a company-sized unit and designation of company
grade branch qualification meet specific, quantifiable
requirements.
