About the author

Founded in 1901 in Washington, D.C., the United States Army War College was established to prepare senior military officers for high-level command and strategic leadership. It was created during a period of major reform in the U.S. Army, with Elihu Root playing a central role in its early development.

The college later moved to Carlisle Barracks in Pennsylvania, where it became a key center for advanced military education. Its programs focus on strategy, national security, and the responsibilities of senior leadership, and it has educated not only Army officers but also members of other services, government agencies, and international partners.

Today, the Army War College is widely recognized as one of the Army’s premier institutions for professional military education. Its work connects academic study with practical policy and defense planning, aiming to prepare leaders for complex global challenges.
