Transition from Training to Real-World Application

Transitioning from training to real-world combatant command campaign planning can be challenging for planners. New employees often find that what they learn in training does not directly apply to their first assignments. For instance, the speaker reflects on their experience starting at Army headquarters and analyzing existing campaign plans, gaining insights into how different commands operate. This exposure paved the way for later hands-on experience in developing campaign plans, emphasizing the importance of foundational knowledge in practical applications.
