establishment,” Zurmuehlen explained.
“It is an organization that people can rely upon for coaching, mentoring, and training throughout their acquisition careers. By establishing a process-based facility and organization, we have con- tinuity that we did not have previously. We are having a much better impact on the students’ future as they progress in their careers.”
This sentiment is echoed by those cur- rently enrolled at AACoE.
“The Army is a people business, and we’re reaching forward to our future commands,” said MAJ Justin Shell. “For instance, some of the instructors here
know people in the organization in which I’m going to be a part, and they’ve already linked me up with some of the program managers and product managers there. It’s not just teaching students. There’s a networking piece as well.”
“We’re actually able to get a feel for what we’re going to be jumping into when we get to our next assignments because of the foundation that’s been laid,” said CPT Laura Freeland, another student enrolled at AACoE. “We understand those basic concepts that make the Army Acquisition Corps so successful.”
Despite the numerous successes AACoE has seen since its official establishment
earlier this year, Zurmuehlen offers a caveat that the center is not resting on its laurels.
“Our approach to excellence includes the understanding that we can always improve the curriculum and experiences we provide our students, by striving to ensure that our interaction with the Army acquisition community is relevant, pro- fessional, and timely,” he said.
