About the Command and General Staff College

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES: The USACGSC mission statement conveys the College’s essential tasks and the vision expresses our ideal of the future.  We adjust our mission statement to accommodate continuous and deliberate analysis of guidance (national, DOD, Army, TRADOC, and CAC), the complexities of the contemporary operating environment, and the challenges faced by a Transforming Army at War.  Our challenge is current and relevant leader development and education and professional military education in a dynamic professional body of knowledge.  We ensure currency and relevancy by immersing ourselves in our professional body of knowledge, contributing to that knowledge with collaboration and publication, and simultaneously adapting our programs to meet the needs of our students, commanders, and fielded operational forces.

Our strategic priorities help guide the evolution of our institution and the adaptation of our programs in pursuit of educational excellence:

• Educate and train the students to ensure successful graduates can lead teams and solve complex problems throughout the spectrum of operations
• Develop, publish, and subscribe to  the professional body of knowledge
• Develop, integrate, and synchronize leader development and educational system
• Recruit, develop, and retain world-class faculty
• Support the Army at War and advance the profession of arms<
