These electronic collections are largely composed of digital versions of paper documents from the Combined Arms Research Library collections. Our intent is to improve the visibility and use of the intellectual resources at the CARL by expanding the potential audience beyond the walls of the Library. The CARL will continue to select and digitize appropriate documents to meet the original goals of preservation and dissemination. We will also be adding documents received originally in electronic form.

The collections of digitized materials are uploaded in the ContentDm® Digital Collection Management System which allows for greater search and retrieval of the individual documents.  Users may browse the collections by clicking on the icons listed below or they can search individual collections by typing the search terms into the search boxes provided.  It is also possible to search across all collections by typing the search terms into the search box on the right.  More advanced search options are available when 'advanced search'  is selected.

  • WW II Operational Documents
    During WW II the primary mission of CGSC was to train large numbers of captains and majors to be staff officers in battalions, brigades, divisions, and corps. To that end, the Army provided copies of documents produced by field units to the College. Operations orders, after action reports, intelligence analyses, logistics appraisals, and similar documents are in the CARL documents collection. As time and funds permit the CARL will scan these historical documents and add them to the WW II collection. Primary focus will be on documenting operations at the tactical and operational levels of warfare.

  • School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) Monographs"
    The School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) is one of the parts of the CGSC. Most SAMS students complete the regular CGSC course, then stay for a second academic year. They write either one or two monographs and are awarded a Master of Military Art and Science (MMAS) graduate degree. Most go on to planning jobs in field units. This collection will eventually contain all the publicly releasable monographs produced since the program began in 1986. SAMS monographs typically address historical events, current operational issues, or new organizational concepts and tend to be in the 50-75 page range.
