Vandergriff, United States Army (Ret.), is a teacher, writer and lecturer who specializes in military leadership education and training. Vandergriff served with the United States Marine Corps and United States Army. He retired after 24 years of service. He has had numerous troop, staff and educational assignments in the United States and abroad. Donald Vandergriff was named ROTC instructor of the year 2002-2003 and the 3rd ROTC Brigade instructor of the year for 2003-2004. Vandergriff is a frequently published authority on the U.S. Army personnel system, Army culture, leadership development, soldier training, and the emergence of Fourth Generation Warfare. He holds a bachelor's degree in education from the University of Tennessee and a master's degree in military history from American Military University. He was the first major from the Army to lecture at the Naval War College. Military sociologist Charles Moskos called him "the most well-known Major in the Army in his own mind". Lecturer, author and expert on military personnel issues, Dr. Jonathan Shay, refers to Vandergriff as "the most influential major in the U.S. Army". James Fallows of The Atlantic Monthly has sought out Vandergriff for consultation of several of his articles. The new millennium brings with it a need for unprecedented flexibility and responsiveness in our national defense apparatus. In the view of this expert panel we are nowhere near ready. The expert contributors to this anthology--both active and retired military officers, noncommissioned officers, and defense specialists--argue that the conventional ways have not proven that effective in the past. Today, with worldwide threats to our national security interests more numerous and diffuse than before, the old ways will not work at all. This anthology is organized along that lines of what the influential military theorist John Boyd called "People, Ideas, Hardware," with each chapter relating to one of those themes. It is a thought provoking call for what amounts to a revolution in American defense.
