WELCOME ABOARD

Welcome to the Navy Element, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

SCHOOL INFORMATION

Command and General Staff College is the Army's premier tactical learning institution and the Command and General Staff Officer Course (CGSOC) is the flagship of five schools in the college. The major areas of concentration are tactics and logistics at the brigade, division, and corps level; warfighting, operational art and strategy; history; leadership; the human dimension of war; and joint and multi-national operations. A student receives about 300 hours of Joint Plans and Operations Instruction, which will enable them to achieve Joint Professional Military Education (JPME-1) certification.

Additionally, students can opt to earn a Master's degree that is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (thesis currently required, but this option is no-cost). There are also cohort programs with local graduate schools where a more tailored Masters can be earned using Navy Tuition Assistance.  Finally, there are several elective focused programs applicable to joint education: space operations, strategist, and joint planner. Currently participation in the strategist program in combination with a masters degree will qualify officers for a subspecialty in national security affairs.
