We will accomplish this dual purpose along the following lines of effort: \n• Provide high quality Professional Military Education at the strategic level that further develops accomplished officers and civilians\, both graduates and faculty\, who depart our institution armed with the right balance of theory\, history\, practice\, and communication skills to clearly articulate options for solutions to complex strategic problems and immediately be of value to any organization. \n• Aggressively Conduct Research\, Publish\, Engage in Discourse\, and Wargame with the entire faculty\, staff\, students and fellows; generate ideas and test concepts as the Army’s intellectual broken field runner for the application of Land power at the strategic level. \n• Conduct Strategic Leader Development through agile\, constantly reviewed and updated courses of instruction and other products that advance strategic leadership skills and senior leader abilities in the Profession of Arms. \n• Attract\, Recruit\, and Retain a high quality faculty and staff.
