Abstract	In this study, the researcher explores the effectiveness of Leader Development in the United States Army by examining the relationship between attendance at the Army's Civilian Education System Basic Course (Basic Course) and enhanced leadership in its graduates. The study was conducted using a paired sample, drawn from five classes in the spring of 2015. The researcher employed the Multi-Rater Leadership Questionnaire version 5X-Short (MLQ5X) developed by Avolio and Bass (2004) in a quasi-experimental, repeated measure, within-subjects research design to answer the primary research question: Do graduates of the Basic Course demonstrate enhanced transformational leadership as a result of attendance at the course? The researcher found that Basic Course graduates demonstrated a statistically significant positive change in mean posttest scores when compared to mean pretest scores on the transformational leadership factors of the MLQ5X. The effect size was large. The study also explored differences within the sample for five groups of Basic Course students: Veterans-Non-veterans; GS Supervisory experience--No GS Supervisory experience; New Leaders--Experienced Leaders; Male-Female; and Ethnic Minority--Caucasian. While some differences between these groups were noted as possible topics for future research, none of those differences were found to be statistically significant in this study.
