This article discusses the need of creative and critical thinking for military commanders. These skills are preconditions for success due to the nowadays complex environment, in which military operations are conducted. Military commanders in the age of complexity should and must therefore critically examine their actions with regard to the achievement of objectives. The subsequent creative process leads to innovation and thus to a further development of their own field of expertise and the Armed Forces. Therefore, these capabilities must be implemented in the officer’s education system.
