The U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (USAC&GSC) at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas is a United States Army facility that functions as a graduate school for United States Armed Forces and foreign military leaders. It was originally established in 1881 as a school for infantry and cavalry by William Tecumseh Sherman. The development of the college has proceeded parallel with the increasing professionalization of the U.S. Army, reaching its present form in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. The U.S. Army Command and General Staff College educates and develops leaders for full spectrum joint, interagency and multinational operations; acts as lead agent for the Army s leader development program; and advances the art and science of the profession of arms in support of Army operational requirements.
