Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the evolving role of military education as a driver of organizational culture, strategic leadership development, and national resilience. Drawing on NATO, EU, and Romanian defense policy documents, as well as academic literature on professional military education (PME), the study argues that modern military education must balance tradition with innovation while integrating digital capabilities, interdisciplinary curricula, and civil–military cooperation frameworks. The paper proposes policy recommendations and identifies structural challenges such as curricular rigidity, limited interinstitutional integration, and resistance to organizational change. Overall, it highlights the critical role of military education as a strategic enabler within contemporary security ecosystems.
