Infantry and Cavalry School Lectures 1902-1910
As part of its ongoing preservation efforts, the Combined
Arms Research Library digitized lectures given at the School for Infantry and
Cavalry (now the Command and General Staff College) from 1902-1910. The
lectures are interesting statements of Army doctrine in the time frame before
World War I. Some of the lectures were given by young Captains and Majors
who later became better known, including Douglas MacArthur and William
"Billy" Mitchell. They are listed below by topic.
