The U.S. Army War College at Carlisle Barracks

For more than a century, the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) has prepared senior military officers and civilians for strategic-leadership responsibilities. Today we play a major role in developing dedicated, intelligent, and competent men and women who will go on to serve our nation in positions of great responsibility. Senior military, civilian, and international leaders from all military Services and government agencies come to "study and confer" on the strategic application of landpower.

For the past 105 years, the faculty and students of the USAWC have played an instrumental role as strategic thinkers in identifying, developing, and addressing future strategic issues critical to the Army. The College enjoys a widely acclaimed reputation within the Department of Defense and other U.S. Government departments and abroad, and we can all be proud of our success. For the past 55 years, Carlisle Barracks has been the home of this great institution. At Carlisle Barracks, we have the ideal environment to learn, study, and confer, while maintaining balance between our professional responsibilities and our personal obligations. The challenge for us now is to ensure we continue to develop further and improve the great foundation that is the USAWC. Ours is a shared vision, and each of us shares in making that vision a reality.

Mission and Vision, and Values
The core foundation of the U. S. Army War College can be found in the mission, vision, and values that guide us in our principles now and in the future.
