Only if the Federal Armed Forces Command and General Staff College reviews both topicality and contents of its doctrine will it be in a position to explain to its graduates that the general/admiral staff officers training can merely impart and pass on an initial requisite know-how for the self-development to a command and decisionmaking responsibility. This realization is an indispensable prerequisite for an experience growing on the sound-board of education - intellectual and character moulding - and power of judgement developing from the ability for self-reflection; in brief: for the decision-making process. This, however, is - according to Clausewitz - a guarantor for the success in operations. (Europäische Sicherheit / SWP)
