I found this article relevant to the conversation here at JO Fourm. I think junior officers have become more curious and yearned for more conversations at the strategic level. Yet, our professional military education limits this type of development until later.

Are any junior officers discussing strategy at their units?

“Recently, though, the idea that officers should only learn strategy once the services decide they are ready for it has been challenged—not so much because the military itself has changed its position, but because a group of young officers have begun mastering strategy outside the strict confines of the military’s formal educational system. This has sparked the emergence of a small, informal community of next-generation strategists.”
