The core interests of the three groups involved will be covered in a complementary way. The broad conference theme will look at the competencies, skills and abilities across the board that are required and expected at the different levels of the military hierarchy. It will ask questions such as who needs to know what, and how does this change through careers? For example, is it still appropriate to separate training and education in the age of the strategic corporal? A key part of the conference will be dedicated to specifically look at ethical and legal awareness within this environment, addressing the question of what behaviour it is appropriate to expect of people at different ranks – enlisted, NCO all the way up to the Chief of the Defence Staff. Finally, some papers will address the pedagogical challenges of delivering training and education, both in the broader sense, and with reference to the skills required for different levels of moral autonomy
