“To study and confer on the great problems of national defense... and ofresponsible command.” – Secretary ofWarElihu Root, 1901
MISSION - CURRICULUM - OBJECTIVE
In time of peace, there is no more fundamental military responsibility than the educationand training of the leaders and forces that serve to preserve the peace and who would defend the nation in wartime. The U.S. Army War College (USAWC) is dedicated to the professional educationof carefully selected individuals from diverse backgrounds inthemilitaryservices andgovernment agencies.Itsgeneralpurposes are toprepare selected military, civilian, and international leaders for the responsibilities of strategic leadership; educate current and future leaders on the development and employment of landpower in a joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational environment; research and publish on national security and military strategy; and engage in activities that support the Army’s strategic communication efforts. The students become better prepared, both personally and professionally, to contribute to the wise andresponsible useofmilitarypowerwithintheconstitutionalframeworkofourfreesociety.
The academic discipline incorporates studies in those fields which concern the military profession. It provides study of the development, mobilization, deployment, employment, and support of military forces;the interrelationships of military, economic, political, and social factors associated withthe broad aspects of national security; and the role and utility of military force as an element of national power.
The learning environment is dedicated to meeting the professional needs of each student. The College recognizes the requirement of specialists who are educated in depth and have exceptional knowledge of a portion of the military profession; but it also recognizes that there is a need for knowledgeable and understanding generalists in military art and science to fill leadership roles.
The academic program consists of a core curriculum, electives, and two resident courses. Thecorecurriculumprovidesa backgroundindomesticandinternationalaffairs which relate directly to national security; defense management and decision making; leadership and command; and military strategy, planning and operations. The electives provide courses in greater depth to support the present-day need for special expertise.
The first andsecondresident courses eachprovide anopportunity forthe students to cometoCarlisle fortwoweeksofguest speakerpresentationsbycurrentmilitaryand civilian leadership and to participate in seminar discussions, staff rides, and strategic thinking exercises. The capstone course element is the Commandant’s National Security Program which provides the students with an unequalled opportunity to compare their perspectives on national security and related matters with the views of a select group of 69 civilianguests from academia,the media, government, business, and other prominent organizations.
TheUSAWCisaccreditedbytheMiddleStatesCommission onHigherEducation.
At the conclusion of their studies, students receive Senior Service College credit and are awarded a Masters of Strategic Studies Degree.
THE COMMANDANT’S NATIONAL SECURITY
PROGRAM
The 17thAnnualCommandant’sNationalSecurityProgramprovides a privileged forum in which distinguished speakers may discuss their views on issues of importance to the nation’s security and welfare with students and faculty of the U.S. Army War College Distance Education Program and invited guests. It provides an extended opportunity for a free andcandid dialogue on these issues among the College students, faculty and guests, it enables the guests to get to know some of the prospective leaders of the American Armed Forces, and, in turn, permits the students to better understandthe societytheyserve.
Organizationally, the Commandant’s National Security Program rests principally on the framework of the USAWC Distance Education Program seminar discussion groups, each having approximately 15-20 students.
Each guest will be assigned to one of these seminars. The students and faculty will identify candidate topics for discussion, while the guest speakers and discussion panels for each day will provide added focus and commentary for the day’s discourse. It is within the free and relatively unstructured framework of seminarroom discussion that the fundamental purposes of the Commandant’s National Security Program are best served. Guests are encouraged to become active participants in seminar discussions, sharing from their own background and experience their ideas and perspectives on the key issues being discussed. It is this time spent in dialogue with students in the seminarrooms thathighlight guests’ experiences eachyear.
Thenonattribution policy oftheArmyWarCollege ensures thatguest speakers, civilian guests, students, and faculty may enjoy a comfortable, open, candid exchange of thoughts and expression. It is the tradition of the College that others will not later attribute their statements to them in public media orfora. Guests are not expected to prepare fortheProgram.
Their individual backgrounds and experience, day-to-day awareness of key nationalandinternationalissues,andpersonalcommitmenttotheNation more than suffice for seminar discussions.

History of Carlisle Barracks
Founded by ColonelJohn Stanwix of the British Army on 30 May 1757,Carlisle Barracks hasfigured prominently in the education of members ofthe Armed Forces since Colonel Henry Bouquet arrived here in 1758 to conduct instruction for British and Provincial troopsin Indian fighting tactics. Because of itsfavorable location at the juncture of the north-south, east-west supply routes, Carlisle Barracks became a permanent military establishment and served as an arsenal during the War of Independence.Themainmagazine, erected in 1777,stillstands.It is nowmaintained as the Hessian Powder Magazine Museum, open daily, 10:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. (selfguided tours). What is believed to be the United States Army’s first educational institution, a school for artillerists, was established at CarlisleBarracks, in 1778, by Captain Isaac Coren.This wasthe first of 10 differentArmy schools eventually to be located at thisinstallation. Originally known simply as “the camp nearCarlisle,” the Post was named “Washingtonburg” during the RevolutionaryWar and wasthe first military post everto be named for General GeorgeWashington. However, it was not until 1801 that the old post actually became Federal property when it was purchased from the heirs of William Penn. The Post gained its current name about 1807. With the outbreak oftrouble in western Pennsylvania in 1794 overthe new whiskey taxes, President Washington, acting asthe Commander-in-Chief, personally assembled at Carlisle about 7,300 men. That show of force, augmented by 5,650 Virginia and Maryland militiamen, succeeded in quelling the “Whiskey Rebellion.” The forerunner of the Armor School, the School of Cavalry Practice, was established here in 1838 and remained at thislocation until 1861.TheCarlisle Indian Industrial School was located here from its founding in 1879 until its close in 1918.
From 1920 to 1946, Carlisle Barracks was the home of the Medical Field Service School.TheSchoolforGovernmentofOccupiedAreas,theAdjutantGeneralSchool, the Chaplain School, the Military Police School, the Army Security Agency School, and the Armed ForcesInformation School were located here during the period 1946 to 1951.The U.S.Army Combat Developments Command Institute ofAdvanced Studies was established here in 1962; it wasrenamed the Strategic Studies Institute in 1971, with a mission exclusively in the strategic arena. In February 1973, the Institute was assigned as an integral part of the Army War College. The Institute conducts strategic studies on broad issues of national security. In 1967, the U.S.Army Military History Institute was established here.
The Institute is now part of the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center. The Institute’s new home, Ridgway Hall, was
dedicated on 24 September 2004.
History of the U.S. Army War College
Carlisle Barracks has been the home of the U.S. Army War College since 1951.
The U.S.ArmyWarCollege isthe seniorinstitution in theArmy educationalsystem.
The history of the College has special interest because of the close relationship between the institution and the development of themodern United StatesArmy.The College wasfounded in 1901 under the direction of the Secretary of WarElihu Root who, as a result of the Spanish-American War, saw a need for an institution that could prepare officers to serve at the War Department as planners and executors of national policy as well as serving in high command and staff positions in the field.
A War College Board was appointed in 1902 with Major General S.B.M. Young as President. Brigadier General T.H. Bliss replaced General Young asthe President of the Board in 1903. The first students assembled in 1904 at 22 Jackson Place, N.W., Washington, D.C. There were nine Army officers in that first class. Among them wasCaptain John J. Pershing, who waslater to become the most illustrious member of the class. General Pershing did not graduate with the Class of ‘05, since he had to withdraw to assume an important position. The same circumstances occurred several more times. Eventually General Pershing was made an honorary member of the Class of ‘24. Washington Barracks, now Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, D.C., wasthe home of theArmyWarCollege from 1907 to 1940.ArmyWarCollege classes were suspended during WorldWarsI and II. The College wasre-established temporarily at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in 1950. It moved to Carlisle Barracks in July 1951. In 1970 the College graduated its first two-year nonresident Distant Education Program class. The Distance Education Program includes two weeks of resident instruction each year. Its graduates are given the same academic credit as the resident Army War College graduate. In addition, in 1977 the College started the International Fellows Program, under which senior officers from other nations participateinboththeresidentandDistanceEducationProgramcourses.Throughout its history, over 23,000 students have graduated from the Army War College. It is noteworthy that almost 4,000 of the graduates have attained General or Flag Officer grade in the various services. President Eisenhower, General of the Army Bradley, Fleet-Admiral Halsey, Generals Abrams, T. Franks, Haig, Lemnitzer, Odierno, Patton, Ridgway, Schwarzkopf, Shalikashvili, and Taylor; Air Force Generals Myers, Kenney and Vandenberg; Generals Cates and Lejeune of the Marine Corps; andAmbassadors Davies, Underhill, and Troxel number but a few of the Army War College graduates who have distinguished themselvesin the service of our country.
Twenty-three former International Fellows have attained the highest positions in their country. Root Hall, the main academic complex, was completed in 1969. It houses offices, study rooms, seminar rooms, an audiovisual center, the printing plant and the College Library. The main auditorium, Bliss Hall, seats 494 persons.
