Center for Army Leadership (CAL) joined with National Guard Bureau (NGB) leaders during a recent site assistance visit in Washington DC, supporting the Army's goal in creating a “culture of assessments.” With command leadership input, CAL addresses leadership, leader development and facilitates feedback from Soldiers to assist their leadership in developing action plans to strengthen unit climate.

LTC Nathan Branen, Director of the Center for Army Leadership (CAL) addresses the 969 students of the Command and General Staff College Class of 2025. LTC Branen provided an overview of the Career Long Assessment - Athena, a series of leader assessments that provides feedback on leadership gaps, strengths, and weaknesses. "The purpose of this program is for you. You own the results. You decide if you want to use them," he emphasized and urged the students to put their identified strengths and weaknesses in their Individual Development Plan (DA 79-06), promoting CAL's mission of leader development, the Army Profession, positive command climates, and mission ready units.
