The Center should have a one year program for about so officers from the four services the panel said. Military education should also stress joint operations said the panel echoing a push from Congress for better integration among the army Navy and air Force. Congress has demanded a de crease in inters Vicc rivalries and approved legislation two years ago reorganizing the Pentagon and emphasizing joint operations. We need far More emphasis on joint Ness " Skelton said. The next War willbe fought by integrated air sea and land forces not by four services each doing their own services also should change their current emphasis in training officers in management and return to military training the report said. Military skills were downgraded in the 1960s in favor of management skills Skelton noted. A master s of business administration became a prize achieve ment. But the management emphasis has t reduced Cost overruns while it has reduced the Quality of strategic skills.
