Dailey sets sights on military education

FORT CARSON, Colo. (April 22, 2015)-- The importance of improving military education while continually improving the Army profession were two topics Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey shared with members of the Fort Carson community, April 20-21.

"As the Army gets smaller we have to invest in the people who will lead us into the future," Dailey said. "We are revamping the entire military education system. Our education system doesn't transfer well into the civilian sector. While we rebuild our courses force-wide, we are focusing on maximizing opportunity for two programs: credentialing and academic equivalency.

"We are the largest academic institution in the world and have the largest online delivery system in America," Dailey said. "We have the academic ability to accredit our own courses, to give you the maximum amount of credit for the work that you do, especially the ones that translate into work that is done out in the civilian sector."

Dailey addressed about 600 Soldiers and Family members at McMahon Auditorium, discussing topics affecting the future of all Soldiers and Families, while answering questions about any concerns they had.

"We will continue to be the smartest, most-educated and well-trained fighting force in the world," Dailey said.
