Core Courses Taught by DCLM
Strategic Thinking (ST)
The first course of the academic year, Strategic Thinking, is designed to help the student get reacquainted with the skills and habits necessary for success in graduate-level education and to directly address selected subjects that fall within the cognitive domain of strategic leadership.
The Strategic Thinking course provides a foundation to comprehend and apply thinking needed by senior leaders that will continue throughout this academic year and into future assignments. Strategic thinking includes different lenses and thought processes that are useful in any endeavor, but they are critical for senior leaders in a time of accelerating change that brings both increasing threats and great opportunities.
As national security professionals and graduates of a Senior Service College, students will be expected to translate the goals of national policy into credible military objectives (ends), concepts (ways), and resources (means).
Strategic Leadership (SL)
The Strategic Leadership course of the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) resident core curriculum is designed to introduce students to the concepts and skills required of leaders within the strategic environment through an examination of responsible command, leadership, and management practices.
The Strategic Leadership course continues the development of leadership at three levels: Direct (taught at the basic and captain's level courses), Organizational (taught at the intermediate-level education course), and Strategic (taught at the USAWC).
Clearly, in this complex and ambiguous world, the levels of leadership have become more blurred; however, there are still unique sets of knowledge, skills, and abilities that are much more prevalent at the strategic level than in the other two levels of leadership. Building on the students' experiences, this course provides the foundation for the application of strategic-level skills and competencies throughout the academic year and into the future.
In this course students will understand the strategic leader's role as a change agent for his/her organization. In today's complex and fast-paced environment, strategic leaders need to scan the environment, anticipate change proactively, develop a vision on where they see their organization in 10-20 years, align the organization's culture and climate with their vision and their current work force, and then create and maintain an ethics and value-based set within their organization that reinforces the organizations vision.
Joint Processes and Land Power Development (JPLD)
The third area of core instruction entitled the JPLD course focuses on the decision and resourcing systems of the Department of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Department of the Army.
This course requires a mastery of defense, joint, and Army processes and systems in order to properly develop the land power component of the National Military Strategy in both current and future settings. This course builds on earlier material and requires students to analyze, evaluate, and formulate land-power resourcing and force structure issues and responses.
The course provides students the opportunity to learn in depth how land power units are designed, resourced, and provided to the Combatant Commanders. The course also examines how the Department of Defense allocates its resources and participates in the federal budgetary processes.
Elective Courses Offered by DCLM
The Department of Command, Leadership, and Management offers elective studies in several areas. Each of these courses is designed to increase the knowledge and effectiveness of the Strategic Leader.
