The CAL Conference 2024 took place on 28 November 2024.
Focused on understanding of the role of Leadership in the successful application of mission command on operations.
In the morning, speakers discussed how intent-based leadership can enhance operational effectiveness and achieve operational success as well as how leaders can foster trust, disciplined initiative, shared understanding, freedom, and speed of action.
In the afternoon, the conference looked at the role of leadership in applying mission command on different kinds of operations (kinetic, crisis-management, disaster relief, peacekeeping, close protection, etc).
The conference and the Q&A discussions will contribute to the Centre for Army Leadership’s work on the new Doctrine Note on Mission Command (to be published in 2025).
