Celebrating the Worldwide Accomplishments of US Army War College Alumni

The US Army War College's 10-month curriculum educates senior military and civilian leaders so they can lead at the strategic level and advance knowledge of the global application of Landpower. These graduates, who earn a Masters of Strategic Studies, are skilled problem solvers. They often become worldwide leaders and continue to actively engage in discourse about the role of ground forces in national security objectives. By the time they leave Carlisle Barracks, they are prepared for service in a joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational (JIIM) national security community.

There is an emphasis on strategic leadership development, argumentation, and research to equip accomplished officers and civilians with the ability to apply history, practice, communication, and theory to complex strategic issues. This mission is supported by the efforts of the other institutions located at Carlisle Barracks, including the Center for Strategic Leadership, the Strategic Studies Institute, the Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute, and the Army Heritage and Education Center. Through this collaboration in pursuit of strategic knowledge, graduates go on to become adaptable, innovative, and highly skilled leaders in the United States and abroad.

Famous graduates from the US Army War College include General of the Armies John J. Pershing, General George Patton, and 34th President of the United States Dwight D. Eisenhower.
