Professional Generalship and the USAWC Curriculum

<p>The basis for this study is defining in comparatively precise terms what professional generalship can be considered to encompass and to determine the extent to which the USAWC curriculum addresses the various aspects of professional generalship as so defined. The study is organized in four parts. Part I addresses the question to what types of duties are U.S. Army generals assigned? It then considers the ways in which the U.S. Army War College curriculum addresses the requirements for formal education for professional generalship as delineated by the types of assignments which U.S. Army generals fill. Part II addresses the question what specific types of activity are common to the duties of general officers regardless of assignment? It then considers the ways in which the U.S. Army War College curriculum addresses the requirements for professional generalship delineated by these types of activity. Part III provides general conclusions relevant to both of the preceding assessments of professional generalship. Finally part IV offers recommendations.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
