#REDIRECT [[U.S. Army Command and General Staff College]]
A midcareer educational institution of the [[United States Army]], the '''Command and General Staff College''', at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, prepares officers for planning and leadership at the level of [[operational art]]: [[brigade]] through [[corps]] level. It is accredited to award masters' degrees. Fort Leavenworth also hosts the Combined Arms Center, which runs CGSC and a number of military research groups, and is a major division of [[Training and Doctrine Command]] (TRADOC).
 
The typical student is an Army [[major]], although there are students from other U.S. military services, government civilians in the national security area, and foreign military officers. In practice, graduation from CGSC is a requirement for promotion to [[colonel]] and above.
 
While it is best known for the resident program, there is a distance learning program. The School of Advanced Military Studies offers an additional honors program following the CGSC course.
