Command and Staff College (1259 words)
Until 1941, this remained the focus of the College as it educated its officers for the war in the Pacific--a prospect that its faculty and students saw looming in the immediate future.
Its 12, three-month courses taught students the command and staff skills deemed immediately necessary in the Pacific Theater of Operations, with a primary focus on the amphibious assault and subsequent operations ashore.
The College educates its officers in the professional skills needed to function on the contemporary battlefield and with the knowledge necessary to place such operations within a larger national security context.
