Recognizing achievement
Lt. Gen. Robert Arter, U.S. Army, Ret.
In this issue of the
CGSC Foundation
News we feature
just a few of
the extraordinary
achievements of the
Director of the CIA,
General David H.
Petraeus, U.S. Army,
Retired, the 2012 recipient of
the Foundation’s Distinguished
Leadership Award. Perhaps no
other general in American military
history has garnered more deserved
acclaim than he. His rapid rise in rank,
his military, scholastic, and diplomatic
accomplishments, highlighted by his
remarkable and prescient battlefield
successes, mark him as one of history’s
great Soldier-Statesmen. As a former
Commandant of the Command and
General Staff College, he was one
of the earliest enthusiastic supporters
of the CGSC Foundation. We remain
special heirs as the result of this unique
association, as do countless others who
have been so positively impacted by
www.cgscf.org
this giant.
A
renowned
leader in
her own
right, Holly
Petraeus
was featured
in the Fall
2011 CGSC
Foundation News.
The theme, “Focus on
Families”, recognized Holly
for her singular, ongoing successes
in the important work of protecting
military families from predatory
lending practices.
The Petraeus’ are, by every measure,
one of history’s unique leadership
teams. Their visionary, indelible,
selfless service to Army, the Armed
Forces and Nation is legend. Once
again we commend and salute them.
For the first time, the Foundation
is participating as an exhibitor in the
2012 AUSA National gathering in
Washington, D.C., Oct. 22-24. We
From The chairman
are going to showcase and promote the
Five-Star Generals Commemorative
Coin program and our forthcoming
book on the Five Star Generals of
Fort Leavenworth, edited by Dr.
Jim Willbanks, Director of CGSC’s
military history department. Coin
designs will be approved by the
Secretary of the Treasury in the near
future and the book will be published
by the University Press of Kentucky.
Both the coins and the book will be
available for sale in March 2013.
Please contact the Foundation office,
and suggest others do so, to be placed
on the notification list. The proceeds
from the sale of these items will help
us provide long term stability for the
Foundation’s support of the College.
As always, your continuing support,
particularly that as valued advocates of
our significant “mission,” is noted and
deeply appreciated.

Meeting and Exposition in

Recently, I signed Form 990
reporting our financials to
the Internal Revenue Service.
The filing of the 990 is an
annual event required of all tax exempt
organizations. But this one was special.
At the end of 2011, we were five years
old, requiring us to determine if we
were indeed a public charity. To meet
this test we had to calculate how much
of our financial support actually came
from the public as opposed to earned
interest, business income and federal
grants. To be classified as a public
charity, an organization must receive at
least 33 1/3 % of its support from the
public. We actually received 71.72%
from the public and this figure excludes
the contributions of our Trustees, which
were substantial, and the extraordinary
gift we received from Ross Perot.
Especially in this economy, this
accomplishment is incredible. Thank
A milestone event
by Col. Bob Ulin, U.S. Army Ret.
you, thank you, thank you to everyone
who has pitched in to make this
accomplishment possible. You need to
know that you are part of one of the
most successful foundations supporting
a military staff and war college. Every
dollar you donate makes a difference.
Over the past six and a half years
we have contributed more than two
million dollars in program expenditures
in support of CGSC.
As organizations grow, so do their
priorities and goals. We are no
exception. Recently, we hired retired
Ambassador Ed Marks to serve as the
new Director of the Simons Center for
Interagency Cooperation. Ed and I have
worked together frequently over the
past 18 years. He will maintain an office
for us in Washington, D.C., represent
our interests on Capitol Hill and with
other public and private organizations
interested in interagency cooperation.
CGSC Class 2012-01
conducts run to celebrate graduation
CGSC Class 2012-01 starts out on a post run June 5 in front of
the Lewis and Clark Center. The run was to celebrate the class
graduation which occurred June 8, with more than 1,000 military
officers, 69 of which were international military officers. Army
Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Lloyd Austin addressed the graduates
during the ceremony.
PhoTo Flash
Ed will be a great addition to our team.
He is an accomplished diplomat and
scholar. He served as a senior mentor
for many military organizations,
including the U.S. Army in Europe,
the Army Command and General
Staff College and Joint Forces Staff
College. A more detailed description
of his background and experience is
found in this issue of the Foundation
News.
Lastly, the BIG news is the
completion of the designs for the Five-
Star Generals Commemorative Coins
that will be produced and sold by the
U.S. Mint in 2013. I sent a letter to
U.S. Treasury Secretary Geithner with
our preferences but have not received
word of his decision as of the printing
of this magazine. I can assure you that
you WILL hear more about this later.
Thank you once again for your loyal
and generous support.

Brig. Gen. Davis addresses the students
of CGSC Class 12-01 after a run on
June 5, celebrating their impending
graduation June 8, 2012.
Editors Note: This interview is part
of a continuing series of interviews with
CGSC leadership about the mission and
priorities of the College.
cGscF news: Based on your recent
experience as a deputy division
Commander deployed in operations,
what do you hope to bring to CGsC
during your assignment and what initiatives
have you already begun?
brig. Gen. Davis: First, let me say I’m
both humbled and very excited to be the
Deputy Commandant of CGSC at this
historic moment in time. Our Army is
at a strategic inflection point. It is drawing
down its operational commitments
in Afghanistan. It is beginning a multiyear
drawdown in structure and endstrength.
It is adjusting to new and uncertain
threats abroad, all the while trying to
develop the right sets of capabilities for
the future. The position I hold is a great
place to be to influence that future. Here
we are developing and educating the
officers who will be our Army’s future
leaders meeting the challenges I’ve just
laid out. As for what I bring, I would say
it is a wide range of combat and stability
operations experience as well as intimate
cultural, regional, and language expertise
due to unique opportunities I have
had in assignments in Europe, Africa
and Asia. I also bring command experience
in TRADOC and FORSCOM units,
Right, CGSC
Deputy
Commandant
Brig. Gen.
Davis greets
Congressman
Kevin Yoder,
the U.S.
Representative
for the 3rd
District of Kansas,
on a visit to
CGSC and the
Lewis and Clark
Center, May 3,
2012.
Q&A with the Deputy Commandant—
Brig. Gen. Gordon “Skip” Davis, Jr.
and operational planning experience in
Multinational Corps, Joint Task Force
and Combined Joint Task Force headquarters.
I hope to leverage that experience
and networks to raise the quality of
education in all components of CGSC.
Before I talk about initiatives let me
talk about what we believe is the purpose
of CGSC, our “why” so-to-speak. Our
“why” is simple. CGSC exists to develop
future Army leaders to adapt and dominate
in Unified Land Operations. By
dominate, we mean not just to prevail (for
example just in time, by the skin of our
teeth), but to prevail or succeed decisively.
We want there to be no question as to
the outcome. We owe this to our civilian
leaders and the American public as our
success is critical to our nation’s survival
and its future prosperity. How we do
that is what I am focusing my efforts
on. Our “how” is by assembling the
best and brightest officers from a diverse
joint, inter-agency and multi-national
background, by implementing the Army
Learning Model in a world class facility
with a world class faculty, and by
focusing on the critical knowledge, skills
and attributes to make them the effective
leaders we need for the future. In terms
of knowledge it is new doctrine, concepts
and tools as well as the right context
about the current and future operational
environment. In terms of skills we mean
21st Century competencies - how to think
critically, how to collaborate and develop
their social intelligence, how to lead
through mission command. In terms of
attributes it is both the 21st Century habits
of mind - creativity, adaptability, agility,
innovation, curiosity, imagination - as
well as the leader attributes of character,
presence and intellect that have proven
successful for centuries of Army leaders.
My intent is to maintain CGSC as an
adaptive, learning organization by focusing
on the key quality elements of the
CGSC learning environment - Faculty,
Students, Curriculum and Facilities. The
most important initiatives with respect to
each are as follows: (Faculty) adjusting
to a 60:40 civilian to military Faculty ratio
from the current 70:30 mix to leverage the
high level of operational experience in our
Army as well as offer instructor experience
to future leaders; (Students) increasing
the number of inter-agency students
and implementing a competitive selection
policy for future Command and General
Staff Officers Course (CGSOC) students
called Optimizing Intermediate Level
Education (ILE), (Curriculum) commissioning
a broad curriculum review called
Curriculum 2014, and (Facilities) completing
upgrades to Eisenhower Hall.
cGscF news: Can you elaborate on
Curriculum 2014?
brig. Gen. Davis: Curriculum 2014
is a joint undertaking with faculty and
8 - CGSC FOUNDATION NEWS www.cgscf.org

students to ensure adaptation of our
curriculum to prepare our graduates
between now and 2014 to succeed from
the time they leave out to 2020. It is
an opportunity to galvanize and inspire
our faculty and students to strive for
excellence in an endeavor of great significance
to our Army. Over the next
two years, this endeavor is meant to
take stock of new defense guidance,
new doctrine, the lessons learned that
are emerging from a decade of war,
future Army capabilities being refined
through Unified Quest exercises, as well
as the changes to national policy and
strategy that we expect to come from
the next U.S. administration (i.e. a new
Quadrennial Defense Review, a new
National Security Strategy). I believe
the changes Gen. Odierno is putting
into place in how the Army generates
readiness on a two-year cycle (versus
three-year) and regionally aligns forces
with geographic combatant commands
will lead to increased forces available
in 2014 and beyond that are aware and
ready to deploy for new missions associated
with our Prevent, Shape, and Win
strategy. Curriculum 2014 is meant to
posture CGSC to provide the best possible,
most value-added education to
majors who will carry out those missions
for the Army out to 2020 and beyond.
cGscF news: What else is new or
changing at CGsC?
brig. Gen. Davis: Each of the college’s
four schools is working important
initiatives to improve professional military
education and leader development.
The Army recently decided a major
policy change in selection and attendance
for the CGSOC taught at the Command
and General Staff School. Under the
www.cgscf.org
Brig. Gen.
Davis welcomes
Command Sgt.
Maj. Joe Parson
and family to the
command team
in a ceremony on
July 18, 2012.
Brig. Gen. Davis congratulates one
of the 20 special operations officers
who graduated from the Interagency
Studies Program, July 19, 2012. The
program, sponsored by CGSC, the
John F. Kennedy special Warfare
Center and School and the University
of Kansas, earns each graduating student
a Master of Arts in Global and
International Studies, Interagency
Studies degree from the University of
Kansas.
new policy, officers will be selected and
directed to attend CGSOC in one of three
venues at the beginning of their time as
a major. These three venues include
resident attendance at Fort Leavenworth
(or an equivalent year-long course),
attendance at one of the four satellite
campuses, or completion completely via
distance education. CGSOC completion
solely via distance education for
Active Component officers is a change,
although it was common before 2006.
All officers will continue to have an
opportunity to complete CGSOC and be
competitive for promotion and selection
for command and advanced schooling.
Because the three venues provide a common
curriculum, officers will receive a
similar educational experience regardless
of the venue.
The School of Advanced Military
Science (SAMS) is maintaining its
high quality reputation for operational
planning by continuing to hone students’
skills in planning for the range
of military operations while improving
the integration of joint, interagency and
multinational efforts in its exercises as
well as focusing on special operations
force integration into Prevent and Shape
phases of planning.
The School for Advanced Leadership
and Tactics (SALT) is implementing a
new Mid-Grade Learning Continuum
(MLC 2015) across the Army’s 17
Centers of Excellence as well as with the
Reserve Components to: 1) standardize
Professional Military Education for first
lieutenants and captains; 2) re-integrate
key staff and command competencies
that have atrophied over a decade of war;
and 3) create multi-echelon and multibranch
training opportunities that were
lost when the Combined Arms Services
Staff School was eliminated in 2005.
The School for Command Preparation
(SCP) is defining command competencies
from Company to Brigade level to
ensure a continuum of development in
Pre Command Courses for Company
through Brigade Commanders and
for First Sergeants through Command
Sergeants Major. SCP is taking preparation
for command teams to the next
level by continuous collaboration with
Command Team Enterprise stakeholders
across Training and Doctrine Command,
Forces Command, Installation
Management Command, research institutes
and academia. SCP is also developing
the first ever simulation conceived
principally for commanders called the
Immersive Commander’s Environment.
cGscF news: What role or roles do
you see for the CGsC Foundation?
brig. Gen. Davis: The Foundation is
an outstanding and critical partner for
CGSC. It provides that margin of excellence
that allows CGSC to maintain its
high quality learning environment and
a high quality outreach. It provides a
venue for reaching out to the public sector
and civilian society to raise awareness
and gain recognition and support
for the college. It provides the best
way for the college to maintain connections
with alumni, former staff and
faculty, their families and friends. The
Foundation has been invaluable in providing
joint academic and research ventures
with businesses and civilian organizations.
And, certainly not the least
important, the Foundation has provided
significant funding to a wide variety of
programs that make the overall experience
of students and families at CGSC
world class.

coin UPDaTe
A
lot has happened since I last
reported on the Five-Star
Generals Commemorative
Coin Program. I’m excited
to report that any day now we should be
receiving word on the official designs
for the coins from the U.S. Mint. This
coin program celebrates Generals of
the Army Douglas MacArthur, George
C. Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Henry H. Arnold and Omar N. Bradley
for their leadership and association with
the U.S. Army Command and General
Staff College.
Foundation CEO Bob Ulin and I visited
Washington, D.C., in June to attend
the public meetings of the Commission
of Fine Arts (CFA) and the Citizens
Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC).
These committees met to review and
make recommendations on the proposed
obverse and reverse designs for the
coins. We were pleasantly surprised
that the CCAC recommended only
reverse designs that were emblematic
of the College, which we believe
meets both the spirit and intent of this
program. Following the meetings, the
Foundation’s executive committee, on
behalf of the board of trustees, met
to evaluate the choices of the CFA
and CCAC. The executive committee’s
recommendations, as well as the CFA’s
and CCAC’s, have been provided to
U.S. Treasury Secretary Geithner. We
anxiously await his decision on the
approved designs to be announced in
September.

We have also been working closely
with Summit Marketing, the national
marketing firm we hired to promote
this program. Summit has prepared an
extensive marketing strategy, including
advertisements in several military
and numismatic magazines, which
will engage audiences all over the
world. Summit will be providing their
support throughout this entire program,
continuing to generate awareness to
motivate and promote coin purchases.
The Foundation is traveling to
Washington, D.C., for the AUSA
annual meeting October 22-24. This
is our opportunity to unveil the coin
designs to the public for the first
time and we’re very excited. We’ll
be there all week so we welcome
all those attending to visit our booth
General of the Army
George C. Marshall
Class of 1908
(Booth #1653) to learn more about
this program and the Foundation.
While the coins won’t be available for
purchase until early 2013, we will offer
informational material at our booth on
how to get up-to-date information on
their availability.
We strongly encourage anyone
interested in purchasing these coins
to provide their contact information to
us. We will send information on when
and how to purchase the coins as soon
as they become available. As always,
this program remains one of our top
priorities and we are very optimistic
it will be an enormous success due to
the collaborative efforts of Summit
Marketing, the marketing and design
specialists at the U.S. Mint and, of
course, the entire Foundation team.

Leavenworth’s
Five-Star
Generals
by Bob Ulin, Editor-in-Chief
The Foundation is
pleased to announce
that publication of
a book, The Five-
Star Generals of Leavenworth
(working title), is underway
and due to be published by the
University Press of Kentucky
in March 2013.
To the right is an extract
from the introduction of the
book, edited by Dr. James
Willbanks, Director of CGSC’s
Department of Military
History.
General of the Army
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Class of 1926
Five-star flag rank is the highest
rank awarded within the U.S. military
establishment in modern times. There
were four five-star Fleet Admirals and
five five-star Generals of the Army
named during World War II and the
years immediately after. To put those
promotions in the proper context, it is
appropriate to review the evolution of
the highest ranks in the U.S. military
establishment.
General of the Armies of the United
States is the highest rank ever awarded
in the United States military. It has
only been awarded twice in the history
of the nation. The first officer to be
named General of the Armies was
George Washington for his service
as the first Commanding General
of the United States Army. After
Washington’s death, Congress passed
a law in May of 1800 suspending any
further appointment to this exalted
rank.
During the Civil War, Congress
conferred the rank of General of the
Army on Lieutenant General Ulysses
S. Grant, who would eventually
wear four stars as the insignia of
his new rank. Lieutenant General
Philip H. Sheridan, Grant’s successor
as Commanding General after the
war was also appointed General of
the Army. However, after Sherman’s
death in 1891, the title ceased to exist
as a military rank.
Congress revived the rank of
General of the Armies of the United
States by Public Law 45 approved
on September 3, 1919, and awarded
the title to General John J. Pershing
for his wartime service. Pershing
continued to wear four stars as the
insignia of his rank.
On December 14, 1944, the
temporary rank of General of the Army
was re-established by the passage of
Public Law 78-482. Army Regulation
General of the Army
Henry “Hap” Arnold
Class of 1929
600-35 specified that Generals of the
Army would wear five stars arranged
in a pentagonal pattern, with points
touching. The rank of General of
the Army was created in wartime
to give the most senior American
commanders parity of rank with their
British counterparts holding the rank
of Field Marshal. The temporary rank
was declared permanent on March
23, 1946, by Public Law 333 passed
by the 79th Congress. The law also
created a comparable rank of Fleet
Admiral for the Navy.
The five five-star Generals of
the Army were George Marshall
(appointed December 16, 1944),
Douglas MacArthur (appointed
December 18, 1944), Dwight D.
Eisenhower (appointed December 20,
1944), Henry H. Arnold (appointed
December 21, 1944), and Omar
Bradley (appointed September 20,
1950). Arnold was redesignated
General of the Air Force on May
7, 1949. The first three five-star
Fleet Admirals were William D. Leahy
(December 15, 1944), Ernest J. King
(December 17, 1944), and Chester W.
Nimitz (December 19, 1944). William
F. Halsey was promoted to Fleet
Admiral in December, 1945.
During the course of their careers, all
of the Army five-star Generals served
and studied at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas. This experience had a
seminal impact on the development of
their respective careers. Marshall, for
example, observed that “Leavenworth
was immensely instructive; not
so much because the course was
perfect—because it was not—but
the associations with the officers,
the reading and discussion that we
did and the leadership…of a man
like Morrison [one of his Leavenworth
instructors], had a tremendous effect
on me…”

Omar N. Bradley

Simons Center Report:
Extending reach, influence and impact
By Maj. Gen. Ray Barrett, U.S. Army, Ret., Deputy Director
It has been a very busy but exciting
six months for the Simons
Center. We continued our support
to the College, awarding student
interagency writing awards to SAMS
and ILE students, and conducting our
faculty writing competition. We also
participated in seminar exercises simulating
meeting of the National Security
Council, and in a conference to determine
required Army interagency capabilities
in 2020.
We have worked hard to extend our
reach, influence, and impact along several
fronts. In July, we signed an internship
agreement with Kansas University
and are discussing with them sponsoring
a directed reading course in their
Interagency Studies graduate program.
In March, we were contacted by
the Senate Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs Committee staff
seeking assistance for a study on how to
improve interagency cooperation along
the U.S.-Mexico border. Having visited
with three relevant military commands
supporting operations along the border,
12 - CGSC FOUNDATION NEWS www.cgscf.org

we provided our insights, connected
them with knowledgeable experts with
operational experience, and coordinated
a VTC between the staff members and
a seminar of CGSC students studying
the issue.
Recently the Air Force Command
and Staff College purchased 5,000 copies
of the Interagency Handbook for
Transitions for use in their courses,
which we had published in 2011. The
State Department’s Foreign Service
Institute also contacted us requesting
copies of all our publications and asking
to explore opportunities for partnering
on projects. The Center for Study of
Civil-Military Operations at the U.S.
Military Academy contacted us seeking
our interest in hosting West Point cadets
as summer interns next year, as well.
We also were visited by a representative
of the Joint Interagency Task
Force-National Capitol Region wanting
to learn more about the Center who
stated our website was “…an extremely
valuable tool for me.”
Elizabeth Hill, the Center’s Program
PhOTO COUrTESy ED MArKS
www.cgscf.org
Assistant, has reorganized, expanded,
and enlarged our website over the past
several months. The site’s content has
nearly doubled, growing by 87.5%. The
resource section has increased the most
with many new links to federal agencies,
universities, libraries, and research
centers involved in interagency issues.
Elizabeth also expanded the bibliography
from 800 entries to more than 1,200.
We are also posting new content every
week and all our publications are available
through the website. It has become
a true interagency information portal.
We continue an aggressive publication
schedule while improving the quality
of journals, essays, and papers. In
May, we published a special edition
InterAgency Journal on the prevention
of mass atrocities and genocide, comprised
of papers delivered during the
CGSC Foundation’s Ethics Symposium
conducted in November 2011. In
August, we published our largest issue
of the Journal to date with nine noteworthy
articles and a new section for
book reviews. In November, we will
New Simons Center Director
publish another special edition of the
Journal dealing with interagency issues
securing the southwest border.
In March, we concluded our first
International Interagency Writing
Competition, with submissions from
across the country and throughout
Europe. The winning author was a
Lieutenant Colonel in the Belgian Army
who addressed the subject of interagency
activities immediately following a
regime changing conflict. All three of
the winning papers were published as
InterAgency Papers and are available on
our website.
We are continuing to expand our
relationships and have plans to conduct
symposia and seminars on interagency
aspects of cyber-security, interagency
education and training, and origins of
the National Security Council during
the Truman and Eisenhower administrations.
We are also continuing with writing
the biography of our namesake, Col.
Arthur D. Simons. An author has been
contracted and research has begun.
Retired Ambassador Edward Marks assumed the duties as director of
the Simons Center in August 2012.
“I am honored for this opportunity to work with the Simons Center,
especially now that the Center’s focus on interagency coordination is so
central and important to American foreign policy and military strategy,”
Marks said. “‘Whole-of-Government’ is not a pat phrase, but reflects the
important contribution that the CGSC Foundation directly, and through
the Simons Center, can make to the U.S. government in general and the
Command and General Staff College in particular.”
Retiring as a Senior Foreign Service Officer (Minister-Counselor) in
1995, Ambassador Marks has since engaged in consulting and writing,
primarily on terrorism, interagency coordination, United Nations affairs,
and complex international emergencies. Recalled to active duty in 2002-
2005 he served as the Department of State’s advisor on terrorism to the
United States Pacific Command. He has been a member of the advisory
council of the Simons Center since 2010.
Marks joined the Foreign Service in 1956 with early assignments
primarily in Africa. His senior positions include Ambassador to the
Republics of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, the Department of State’s
Deputy Coordinator for Counterterrorism, Visiting Senior Fellow on
terrorism at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS),
Deputy Chief of Mission in Sri Lanka, Deputy United States Representative
to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations in New York,
and Senior Fellow at the National Defense University. He has been
widely published and recently co-authored the book U.S. Government
Counterterrorism Programs: Who Does What.

The legendary
‘Bull’ Simons
by James H. Willbanks, Ph.D.
Director, CGSC Department of Military History
Colonel Arthur D. “Bull”
Simons was a larger-thanlife
figure with a legendary
reputation as a combat leader.
He served as a Ranger in the South
Pacific during World War II, but is best
known for his role in the Son Tay raid,
in which he led U.S. Special Forces in
an attempt to rescue American prisoners
of war from a North Vietnamese POW
camp. Later, as a civilian, he took part
in the rescue of American businessmen
from Tehran in the midst of the Iranian
revolution.
Simons was born in New York City in
June 1918. Later, his family moved to
Missouri. He attended the University of
Missouri at Columbia, where he majored
in journalism and joined the ROTC
program in 1937. Upon graduation in
1941, he was commissioned a Second
Lieutenant in the Artillery. His first
assignment was with the 98th Field
Artillery Battalion, a M1 Pack Howitzer
unit that still used mules. Simons
accompanied his battalion to New
Guinea, serving as a battery commander
from 1942 until 1943 when his battalion
was dissolved. Simons and his battery
became part of the newly forming 6th
Ranger Battalion under Lieutenant
Colonel Henry Mucci. Simons
took command of B Company and
participated in several landings in the
Pacific, to include leading a demining
team in the Leyte Channel before
the Philippine invasion. On Luzon,
he participated in the famous raid on
Cabanatuan to rescue over 500 American
POWs who were mostly survivors of the
infamous Bataan Death March. For that
action, he received the Silver Star.
After the end of World War II, Simons
left the active Army for five years. He
was recalled to active duty in 1951.
14 - CGSC FOUNDATION NEWS
Upon return to uniform,
he served as an infantry
instructor and Ranger trainer
at the Amphibious and Jungle
Training Camp at Eglin Air
Base, Florida. Following that
assignment, he served as a
Public Information Officer,
a job he despised, at Fort
Bragg, North Carolina. He
also served with the Military
Assistance Advisory Group in Turkey
and then another stint at Fort Bragg with
the XVIII Airborne Corps. In 1957,
Simons volunteered for Special Forces
and joined the 77th Special Forces
Group. In 1960, he became the Deputy
Commander/Chief of Staff of the U.S.
Army Special Warfare Center at Bragg.
In 1961, Simons was promoted to
lieutenant colonel and sent to Laos
to take command of the 107-man
Operation White Star Mobile Training
Team mission, charged with training
the Royal Laotian army and indigenous
Hmong and Yao tribesmen to fight the
Pathet Lao and their North Vietnamese
Army supporters. After leaving Laos in
1962, he became the first commander of
the 8th Special Forces Group in Panama,
a post which he held for two years.
After Panama, he returned to
Southeast Asia where he was assigned
to the highly classified Military
Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies
and Observations Group (MACV-SOG),
which conducted behind-the-lines crossborder
reconnaissance missions into
Cambodia, Laos, and North Vietnam.
In 1970, Simons was hand-picked by
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
to lead Operation Ivory Coast, a 56-man
joint special operations effort to rescue
64 American prisoners of war from
the Son Tay prison 25 miles west of
Hanoi in North Vietnam. The mission
was conducted flawlessly only to find
that the prisoners had been moved
a few months earlier. Although the
raid failed to rescue any POWs, the
attempt caused the North Vietnamese
to move them to a few centrally located
compounds in Hanoi and improve their
treatment. For his efforts in planning
and leading the mission, President
Richard Nixon presented Simons with
the Distinguished Service Cross at a
White House ceremony in November
1970.
“Bull” Simons retired from the Army
on July 31, 1971, and moved with his
wife Lucille to a small farm in Red
Bay, Florida. There they raised pigs
and other livestock while Simons also
dabbled in part-time gunsmithing. They
enjoyed a good life until 1978 when
his beloved wife was diagnosed with
terminal cancer; she died several months
later.
In late 1978, Texas businessman
H. Ross Perot, who had thrown a big
party for the Son Tay raiders and the
just released POWs in 1973, contacted
Simons, asking him to help organize
and lead a mission to rescue two of
his employees who had been arrested
in Tehran shortly before the Iranian
Revolution. The mission, immortalized
in Wings of Eagles by Ken Follett, was a
success and both men were rescued and

eturned safely to the United States. The
book was later turned into a five-hour
television miniseries in which Simons
was portrayed by Burt Lancaster.
Three months after the Tehran rescue,
while on vacation in Vail, Colorado,
Simons died of heart complications at
the age of 60. He was subsequently
buried in the Barrancas National
Cemetery in Pensacola, Florida.
Simons’ contributions to the Special
Forces community and lasting legacy are
memorialized in a 12-foot tall statue that
was erected next to the Special Forces
Museum at Fort Bragg. He was inducted
into the Ranger Hall of Fame in 1992.
In 2009, Colonel Simons posthumously
received another unique honor. Having
made the decision to support the
establishment of a center for interagency
cooperation at Fort Leavenworth, Ross
Perot was offered the opportunity
to have the new center named in his
honor. Mr. Perot, who never forgot
what Simons’ did at Son Tay and later
in Tehran, chose instead to honor the
Colonel’s memory; the Arthur D. Simons
Center for Interagency Cooperation
opened its doors on April 21, 2010, and
quickly established itself as a premier
organization for interagency research and
publications.
Colonel Arthur D. “Bull” Simons was
a remarkable man. Given his illustrious
career, it is hard to believe that there has
never been a biography written about
this great warrior. He is mentioned
prominently in a number of books, but his
personal story has never been told. That
will soon change. In 2011, the Simons
Center decided that Bull’s story needed
telling. The Foundation approached this
author about writing a book about Simons
and together we began researching his
life, looking for family, friends, and
colleagues who might be able to shed a
little more light on Bull’s life and career.
The research effort continues and the
author and the Simons Center are still
interested in learning more about Bull,
his life, his career, and his colleagues. If
you would like to become involved with
this project, please contact the Simons
Center at 913-682-7244 or email editor@

Best year yet for the
Foundation in CFC
by Jennifer Ayre, Marketing Manager
For the past few years the
Regional Combined Federal
Campaign (CFC) has been
a great source of donations
to the Foundation. In 2011, we
were admitted into the National CFC
which incorporates all Regional CFC
groups as well as a few overseas.
The National CFC has allowed the
Foundation to continue to broaden
our reach to new individuals.
In 2011, we received a total of
$8,745.65. Half of the total came
from Heartland Regional CFC (our
original campaign), with other large
donation amounts coming from the
Eastern Alabama Regional CFC,
CFC of the National Capital Area
and Overseas CFC. Donations were
received in smaller amounts from
multiple other CFC campaigns.
Although we have received a
greater total donation than prior
years, CFC is no longer providing
donor lists to us even if individuals
checked a block on their forms giving
permission to release their names
to the Foundation. Therefore, if
you would like to receive credit
for donations you made to the
Foundation in our annual report we
ask that a copy of your CFC donation
form be sent to the Foundation office.
If you gave in 2011 and would like
to receive credit, please send in your
form and the Foundation will make
the necessary corrections, however
it will not be reflected in the 2011
Annual Report, which has already
been printed. From now on this will
Use CFC
number 78303
to donate to the
CGSC Foundation
be the only way for you to receive
credit; individuals that do not send
us a copy of their donation form will
be considered Anonymous-National
CFC in our Annual Report.
The Foundation will once again
be in the National CFC for 2012
under the “Military Support Groups
of America Federation,” or look for
the Foundation through our CFC
number: 78303. The Military Support
Groups of America Federation is
a federation of America’s finest
national organizations providing
financial and emotional support
for our nation’s soldiers, wounded
warriors, and military families.
Being in this federation allows
possible donors an easier way to
find the Foundation instead of
hunting through the thousands of
organizations in the CFC.
CFC continues to be profitable for
the Foundation, while allowing it to
further the mission of providing the
Margin of Excellence to the U.S.
Army Command and General Staff
College. Remember to look for the
CGSC Foundation in the 2012 CFC
catalog and don’t forget to mail,
email or fax in your donation forms
if you would like credit.

Foundation supports African
Army Alumni Symposium
by Doug Lathrop
Assistant Professor, CGSC Dept. of Joint, Interagency and
Multinational Operations
The Combined Arms Center and
Command and General Staff
College assisted U.S. Africa
Command (USAFRICOM)
in the conduct of its inaugural alumni
symposium, July 18-20. The symposium
included graduates of CGSC and the
U.S. Army War College (AWC). Fifty
African alumni from 19 countries met at
the Frontier Conference Center on Fort
Leavenworth to discuss issues related
to professional military education; build
and maintain relationships with other
African graduates; allow African alumni
to renew professional ties with U.S.
Army faculty; and provide listening and
learning opportunities for USAFRICOM
staff personnel.
The CGSC Foundation sponsored a
welcoming social event that included
CGSC leadership and invited guests
including Ms. Mary Jean Eisenhower,
President of People-to-People
International. Ms. Eisenhower is the
granddaughter of former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, a distinguished
alumnus of CGSC. The evening
social was held in the atrium of the
Lewis and Clark Center, the new
CGSC educational facility, which
many alumni saw for the first time.
“Role of the Military in 21st Century
Africa” was this symposium’s overall
theme. The alumni were welcomed by
Maj. Gen. David Hogg, Commander
of U.S. Army Africa, and the keynote
presentation was given by Brig. Gen.
Adjetey Annan, Commandant of the
Ghanaian Armed Forces Command and
Staff College. Four subsequent panels
addressed aspects of Africa’s current
operating environment, the status of
African militaries today, benefits of
PME, and future challenges and the
role of African militaries. AFRICOM,
AWC, and CGSS provided the four
panel moderators and African alumni
made up the other 10 panelists.
Participants represented all five
African regions and included 15 flag
officers, 39 field grade officers, and two
company grade officers. Brig. Gen.
Mary Jean Eisenhower,
President of People-to-People
International and granddaughter
of former President Dwight
D. Eisenhower, a distinguished
alumnus of CGSC, attended
the African Army Alumni
Symposium, July 18-20.
Arnold Gordon-Bray was the senior
representative from headquarters
USAFRICOM. Alumni were broken
down into four syndicates to discuss
the topics introduced during each panel
presentation and to further share their
knowledge and experiences. Discussion
in each syndicate was facilitated by
faculty members from both CGSC and
AWC.
This first-ever African Army alumni
symposium supported objectives
contained within AFRICOM’s Theater
Security Cooperation Plan and provided
CGSC and AWC faculty an opportunity
to improve their understanding of
current events in Africa and reestablish
contact with former students.
This symposium was funded
by USAFRICOM with support
from the Combined Arms Center,
Fort Leavenworth, and the CGSC
Foundation.

Lieutenant General
John H. Cushman
In 1973, from command of the 101st Airborne Division
and having served in 1955-1958 on the College
faculty, then Maj. Gen. John H. Cushman became
Commandant of the U.S. Army Command and General
Staff College. In 1976 he left to command I Corps (ROK/
US) Group, the Korean-American field-army-size formation
defending the Western Sector of Korea’s DMZ.
As Commandant, General Cushman oversaw the development
for student use of “First Battle,” a two-sided
wargame. Adapting it as “Korea First Battle,” with commanders
from corps to regiment directing their own forces
against attackers organized and thinking like their North
Korean adversary, and with participation by USAF and
ROK air forces, he exercised the defending commanders
and their staffs in real time air/land wargames of their actual
war plans, the first of their kind. These exercises gave
commanders an experience of war without fighting. It led
to lessons learned. At a time when political leaders were
considering the removal of U.S. ground forces from Korea,
these wargames showed how essential those forces were.
Retired from the Army in 1978, Lt. Gen. Cushman has
since been a writer and consultant on command and control
and the operations of theater forces. Among his many publications
is Thoughts for Joint Commanders, self-published

General David H. Petraeus
Soldier, Scholar and Leader
by Ethan S. Rafuse, Ph.D., Professor of Military History,
U.S. Army Command and General Staff College
In April 2012, a little over five years after he left
the office of post and Combined Arms Center
(CAC) commander to take charge of the war in Iraq,
retired General David H. Petraeus returns to Fort
Leavenworth to receive the Command and General Staff
College Foundation’s Distinguished Leadership Award.
David Howell Petraeus was born on Nov. 7, 1952, in
the small town of Cornwall, N.Y. He is the son of Sixtus
Petraeus, a Dutch sea captain, who emigrated to the United
States during World War II and Miriam Howell Petraeus,
who raised their family in the scenic and historic Hudson
Highlands. After graduating from Cornwall Central High
School in 1970, Petraeus entered the U.S. Military Academy
at West Point, where he demonstrated early on that he

possessed the traits of intellect and character necessary for
excellence as both a soldier and scholar. He graduated 43rd
in the Class of 1974, was a member of the academy’s soccer
and ski teams, and served as a cadet captain. Shortly after
his graduation from West Point, Petraeus married Holly
Knowlton, with whom he would have two children.
Commissioned into the infantry, he received the William
O. Darby Award for his standout performance at Ranger
School and was subsequently assigned to a unit in Italy.
After a series of line and staff assignments, Petraeus
attended the Command and General Staff College at
Fort Leavenworth while a captain, where he received the
General George C. Marshall Award as the top graduate in
1983. Petraeus’s ability as a scholar and serious student

of his profession was further demonstrated in the
years that followed by the publication of articles in
academic and professional journals in which he offered
compelling challenges to many of the assumptions
that had shaped American military policy since the
Vietnam War. After leaving Fort Leavenworth, he
earned a Ph.D. in international relations at Princeton
University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and
International Affairs, completing his dissertation,
titled “The American Military and the Lessons of
Vietnam: A Study of Military Influence and the Use of
Force in the Post-Vietnam Era,” during the two years
he spent on the faculty at the U.S. Military Academy
in 1985-87.
In 1991, Petraeus assumed command of a battalion
in the 101st Airborne Division and shortly thereafter
was accidently shot in the chest during a training
exercise. Within a week after the incident (which led

to his receiving treatment at the hands of Nashville surgeon
and future U.S. Senator William Frist), he was released
from the hospital after amazing onlookers by doing fifty
push-ups to support his argument that he was fit to return
to duty. Two years later, Petraeus assumed the office of
the 101st Division’s Assistant Chief of Staff for plans,
operations, and training. After service on the U.N. Mission
to Haiti, he took command of a brigade in the 82nd Airborne
Division before moving on to the Pentagon in 1997 to serve
first on the Joint Staff and then as executive assistant to
General Hugh Shelton, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. After promotion to brigadier general and another
stint with the 82nd Airborne, during which he saw service
in Kuwait, Petraeus took on the post of Chief of Staff of
the XVIII Airborne Corps in 2000. This was followed by
a ten-month tour in the Balkans, where he helped conduct
stabilization operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina as the
NATO Stabilization Force Assistant Chief of Staff for
Operations, as well as the Deputy Commander of the U.S.
Joint Interagency Counter-Terrorism Task Force.
In 2003, Petraeus commanded the 101st Airborne
Division in the invasion of Iraq that overthrew the regime
of Saddam Hussein, with his performance in operations
and subsequent efforts conducting stability operations in
Mosul attracting international attention and acclaim. The
general’s performance and that of his command were

chronicled by Rick Atkinson’s highly acclaimed book, In
the Company of Soldiers: A Chronicle of Combat. After
relinquishing command of the 101st Airborne Division, he
became the inaugural commander of the Multi-National
Security Transition Command Iraq, with responsibility for
establishing the command and the train and equip mission
for Iraqi Security Forces. Petraeus returned to the United
States in late 2005 to assume command of the U.S. Army
Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth. Directed
by Chief of Staff Peter Schoomaker to “shake things
up,” during his tenure at Fort Leavenworth, Petraeus, in
cooperation with Marine general James Mattis, directed and
provided the driving force behind the process that produced
the publication of Field Manual 3-24, Counterinsurgency.
He also pushed improvements in the CGSC curriculum,
such as a significant expansion of the military history
program, so it better met the needs of the army and nation.
Petraeus’s tenure at Fort Leavenworth ended with his
nomination in December 2006 and his selection in January
2007 to replace Gen. George Casey as commander of the
Multi-national Force-Iraq. Upon his arrival in Baghdad
in February, Petraeus brought with him an approach to
the problems coalition forces were encountering that
focused more on counterinsurgency methods, as well as
a “brain trust” of advisors to help him implement it that
reflected his insistence on soldiers whose backgrounds

were distinguished by both military and academic
accomplishment. By the fall of 2007, a precipitous decline
in violence in Iraq was evident. How much the reversal of
American fortunes in Iraq was attributable to the increase in
American forces and new strategy relative to other factors
will undoubtedly be a subject of debate for years to come,
but there is little debate regarding Petraeus’s critical role in
bringing it about. In September 2008, Petraeus relinquished
command in Iraq to assume the post of Commander, U.S.
Central Command. On the occasion, Secretary of Defense
Robert Gates spoke for many when he paid tribute to
Petraeus “historic role” in Iraq and confidently predicted
it would enshrine the general among “our nation’s greatest
battle captains.”
After nearly two years as commander of Central
Command, Petraeus was asked by President Barack Obama
to take charge of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and did so in
July 2010. While in Afghanistan, Petraeus was nominated
by President Obama as director of the Central Intelligence
Agency. The appointment was unanimously approved
by the U.S. Senate and on Sept., 6 2011, seven days after
formally retiring from the Army, Petraeus began a new
chapter in his long career of service to the nation when he
was sworn in as the twenty-third director of the CIA.
In his History of the Peloponnesian War, the Greek
historian Thucydides famously declared that, “A nation
that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its

warriors will have its laws made by cowards and its wars
fought by fools.” It has been to the great good fortune of
the United States and its army that it has had the benefit
over the past three decades of having a man in uniform like
David Petraeus who combines the qualities of the scholar
and warrior. It is to the nation’s continued good fortune that,
even though his time in a military uniform has come to an
end, Petraeus continues to provide a model of selfless service
to the nation. Throughout his remarkable career, Petraeus
has exemplified the qualities of great leadership, personal
character, and academic excellence the CGSC Foundation’s
Distinguished Leadership Award recognizes.

who died in 2006, unveils the shadow box of his father with CGSC Commandant
Lt. Gen. David Perkins, in the CGSC Hall of Fame Ceremony, May 24, 2012.

Editor’s Note: This article was edited from the original published May 31, 2012, in the Fort Leavenworth Lamp.
Retired Marine Gen. Charles C.
Krulak, the 31st commandant
of the Marine Corps, and Gen.
Michael S. Davison, a World
War II and Vietnam-era Army general
and former commandant of CGSC, were
inducted into the CGSC Hall of Fame
in a ceremony in the Lewis and Clark
Center, May 24, 2012.
Krulak is the first Marine to be inducted
into the Hall of Fame, which surrounds
the atrium of the Lewis and Clark Center
where the school is housed. Davison,
who died in 2006, was represented by
his son, Donald Davison, who accepted
the honor on his father’s behalf.
Krulak, a Silver Star recipient, served
in the Marine Corps for 35 years,
according to his official biography. He
began service after graduating from the
U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.,
in 1964 and served two combat tours
in Vietnam. He graduated from CGSC
in 1977, then the National War College
in 1982. Krulak commanded the 2nd
Force Service Support Group during
Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm.
He became the 31st commandant of the
Marine Corps in 1995, during which
he established the Marine Warfighting
Laboratory and created the concepts of
“The Three Block War,” which focuses
on modern warfare, and “The Strategic
Corporal.”
Krulak said his Fort Leavenworth Hall
of Fame induction is an honor for all
Marines.
“There’s nobody in this room that
wears the uniform that doesn’t realize
that that’s not my recognition,” he said.
“That’s the recognition of thousands
upon thousands of great men and women
who wore the uniform of the United
States Marines. And any logical success
that I have, that got my picture up here,
belongs to them.”
Krulak said it was his experience at
Fort Leavenworth that taught him to
think about all sister services as a whole.
He learned of strengths the Army had
that the Marine Corps did not have at the
time. Krulak urged CGSC students not
to let that spirit of cooperation die with a
fight over budgets.
Retired Marine Gen. Charles Krulak, 31st Commandant of the Marine
Corps and the first Marine ever inducted into the CGSC Hall of Fame,
provides remarks after the unveiling of his shadow box that will be displayed

First Marine, former Commandant
inducted into CGSC Hall of Fame
“We are all going to be faced with
something that’s very difficult, and it’s
called the peace dividend,” he said.
“And you are going to find your services
in many instances gutted. And the key
fight is going to be over resources, and
you are going to see — unfortunately,
because of the fight over resources —
the tendency to start to break down into
Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines.”
Krulak also talked about the need for
service members to invest time with
their families. Like many CGSC students
today, his time at Fort Leavenworth was
the first year he had to spend with his
family amidst deployments and new
military assignments.
Donald Davison also talked about
family life growing up in the military.
While serving overseas during World
War II, his father, Gen. Michael S.
Davison, did not see his wife and son
for three years.
The elder Davison was commissioned
upon graduating from the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point, N.Y., in 1939

military since 1966, beginning as an
infantry officer and working his way
through the ranks of his army. He
was promoted to general and became
commander of Turkish Land Forces in
August 2010.
Dominic has held his current position
in Moldova since 2010. He is the second
inductee from Moldova, which became

his father.
In June of 1973, the elder Davison
addressed graduating CGSC students
about the challenges they had faced
in their military careers: “They are
challenges that will be with you through
the remainder of your lives because
education is a process and not an
entity — a continuing hope and not a
completed dream. You have come to a
pause in this process of hope, a pause to
reflect where you have been and where
you are going.”

Maunday, a CGSC Class of 2005
alumnus, referred to CGSC as a premier
institution that encourages analytical and
creative thought to focus on unknown
emerging threats. For him, attending
CGSC was a year of professional and
personal growth, and he encouraged
students to implement the knowledge
they’ve learned.
“As you rejoin organizations
across the globe, you’ll recognize
the importance of the analytical and
creative thinking talents developed
here,” he said.
Inductees into the International
Hall of Fame are presented gifts from
the Greater Kansas City Chapter of
the Military Order of the World Wars

CGSC alumnus
becomes 20th Air
Force Chief of Staff
by Tech. Sgt. Shawn J. Jones
Air Force Public Affairs Agency
Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, a
36-year Airman, assumed the
duties as the 20th Chief of
Staff of the Air Force, Aug.
10, 2012, taking over for Gen. Norton
Schwartz, who also retired from the Air
Force during the ceremony.
Significant for the Fort Leavenworth
community is that Welsh attended
Command and General Staff College,
graduating with the class of 1988.
“Mark is respected throughout the
Air Force for his exceptional leadership
and ability to connect with Airmen,”
Secretary of the Air Force Michael
Donley said.
Raised in an Air Force family, Welsh
said he found a role model in his father,
a decorated combat pilot.
“Today, I think he’d be proud of me,”
Welsh said. “And any day a kid can
make his dad proud is a great day.”
Welsh emphasized the need for Airmen
to understand the importance of the other
services in joint operations, but also
www.cgscf.org
said Airmen shouldn’t underestimate the
combat capabilities of their own service
in winning today’s fight.
“No one else can bring what we bring
to the fight, and any real warfighter
knows that,” he said. “Don’t ever doubt
yourself or this service.”
Welsh also addressed his stance
on issues affecting the well-being of
Airmen.
“When it comes to Airman resiliency,
suicide prevention, and sexual assault
prevention and response, I believe you’re
either part of the solution or you’re part
of the problem,” he said. “There is no
middle ground.”
Welsh also said the Air Force must
shape the future and that will require
innovative thinking and different
approaches to problems, along with
modernization.

90 years
and counting…
Lt. Col. Jeff Buczkowski
Deputy Director, Military Review
Military Review, the professional journal of the
U.S. Army, celebrated its 90th year of continuous
publication on April 2, 2012, with a ceremony at
the Lewis and Clark Center on Fort Leavenworth.
Brig. Gen. Gordon B. Davis, Jr., deputy commanding
general of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and deputy
commandant of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff
College, was the guest speaker at the event, reminding all of the
important contributions Military Review makes to the Army.
Davis said the magazine contributes to the body of knowledge
necessary for us to call ourselves a profession, and contributes
to the development of doctrine.
“It allows [us] to view existing doctrine and practices,” said
Davis. “It identifies things that don’t work and gaps in our
current doctrine. It helps also to flesh out new doctrine as
it’s fielded. It contributes new ideas, probably what it is most
famous for.”
The general said that the magazine “promulgates successful
tactics, techniques, and procedures” by allowing Army
professionals to contribute the latest experiences from the field
of operations.
“It also, very importantly, provides a place for our professionals
for a very critical debate of new ideas,” added Davis.
Upon completion of his remarks, Davis was joined on stage
by the current director and editor-in-chief of Military Review,
Col. John J. Smith. The two unveiled a proclamation signed
by the commanding general of the U.S. Army Combined Arms
Center and commandant of the U.S. Army Command and
General Staff College, Lt. Gen. David G. Perkins, declaring the
magazine’s 90th birthday as “Military Review Readers, Writers,
and Editors Day.”
They completed the ceremony by cutting a birthday cake
with a bayonet, the preferred utensil of infantryman Davis for
such events. Refreshments for the occasion were graciously

provided by the CGSC Foundation, in
recognition of the continuing cooperation
between the foundation, the school, and
Military Review.
Colonel Smith, in his fourth year of
editing the journal, said “Magazines
like Military Review remain vital and
relevant, even in this age of Twitter,
internet news, and the increasingly
shorter attention spans of the American
public. There is still tremendous value
in having a publication of record that
serves as a reference for people today
and in the future.”
The initial edition of the magazine,
January 1922, actually came out on
February 10 with the title Instructor’s
Summary of Military Articles. Six
hundred copies were printed. Its name
was officially changed to Military
Review in 1942, and it began publishing
in Spanish and Portuguese in April of
1945, even before the fall of Berlin in
World War II.
Today, Military Review continues
to publish in English, Spanish, and
Portuguese, distributing approximately
18,000 copies bimonthly in 86 countries.
Those, combined with the annual
Special Readers, bring the total to nearly
140,000 individual copies distributed
every year. Readers and subscribers
include members of Congress, military
leaders of all ranks, U.S. and foreign
embassies, universities, libraries, and
the media.
Contributors of note include CIA
Director David Petraeus; Secretary of
State Colin Powell; Chiefs of Staff of
the Army Gen. Raymond Odierno, Gen.
(Ret.) Gordon Sullivan and Gen. (Ret.)
Fred Franks; TRADOC Commander
Gen. Robert Cone; Rep. Ike Skelton;
and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.
In May of 2010, Secretary Gates spoke
to the assembled students and faculty
of CGSC. Among other important
topics, he characterized the sometimes
critical articles in Military Review as
“a sign of institutional vitality, health,
and strength.” He then called upon
the students “to take on the mantle of
fearless, thoughtful, but loyal dissent
whenever the situation calls for it.”

Resilience Trainer Course taught at
both the University of Pennsylvania
and at Fort Jackson, S.C. Based on
20 years of research, the two-week
course teaches skills that increase
mental agility, self-awareness,
optimism, self-regulation, character
strength, and strong relationships.
Realizing the potential benefits,
the Command and General Staff
College created its own CSF office
in 2009. That office now oversees
resilience training in both officer
and enlisted education throughout
the Army – and manages the
internal CSF program at CGSC.
One of the highlights of that
program is Spouse Resilience
Training that is sponsored by the
CGSC Foundation.
Adapted from the Master
Resilience Trainer Course, the
spouse-oriented course includes 12
hours of class taught over three halfday
periods. It has been offered to
spouses several times each year for
the last two years. The instructor
for Spouse Resilience Training,
Mark Tolmachoff, is a retired
lieutenant colonel who originally
taught in the Tactics Department at
CGSC. Tolmachoff was selected
in 2009 to attend the Master
Resilience Trainer Course and later
to earn a Master of Applied Positive
Psychology degree at the University
of Pennsylvania. Tolmachoff sees
resilience skills training as a key
addition to the CGSC experience.
“Teaching this is one of the most
rewarding things I’ve ever done,”
Tolmachoff said. “It changes lives,
and I hear that from my students
every time.”
Tolmachoff has also developed
a Total Fitness elective offered
as part of the CGSC curriculum.
The elective focuses on the five
domains of fitness identified within
CSF: social, emotional, family,
spiritual, and physical fitness. The
12-lesson course has been a hit with
the majors at CGSC, becoming one
of the most popular electives in the
College. The elective is also open
to spouses of CGSC students on a
space-available basis.

Shield of the Harvard Business School
Foundation supports
CGSC faculty development
by Ann Barbuto, CGSC Faculty and Staff Development Division
The CGSC Foundation has
once again contributed to
the continuing professional
development of the CGSC
faculty members through their financial
sponsorship of a workshop this past
April on case method.
Faculty members from the Command
and General Staff School (CGSS), the
School of Advanced Military Studies
(SAMS), the School for Command
Preparation (SCP), the Army
Management Staff College (AMSC),
and the Western Hemisphere Institute
for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC)
joined the Simon Center’s former
director Ted Strickler and Deputy
Director Ray Barrett for the full-day
workshop.
Working with the CGSC Faculty
and Staff Development Division (FSD),
the Foundation secured the services
of Dr. Dorothy Leonard, Professor
Emerita, Harvard Business School. Her
seminar at the Lewis and Clark Center
was entitled “Participant-Centered
Learning: Art and Craft of Discussion
Leadership.” The workshop focus
was to help the teaching faculty finetune
participant-centered learning
in the classroom via the use of case
method. The forty-eight participants
had a number of cases as pre-readings
and did preparatory work in order to
make the workshop experiential and
interactive in nature.
“I especially enjoyed the presentation
and discussion centered on the use of
the Case Study methodology in adult
education,” said Dr. Thomas Bradbeer,
Associate Professor in the Department
of Command and Leadership (DCL)
and Team Leader of Team 10. “My
teaching department has been using
the Case Study methodology for the
past eight years with much success.
Both faculty and student feedback has
repeatedly identified the use of case
studies as a critical element to assist
and improve student learning.”
Other faculty members agreed with
that impression. They called the
seminar “illuminating,” “enormously
informative,” and an “excellent
opportunity to reflect on my teaching
techniques and how I might improve
upon them.” Mr. William Kuchinski,
Assistant Professor in Department of
Tactics (DTAC) and Team Leader of
Team 8 had similar comments.
“It was a great workshop,” Kuchinski
said. “I immediately used some of the
case study teaching techniques in the
classroom during my elective.”
One of the CGSC’s first collaborations
with other universities in case method
approach to instruction was in 2006
when Dr. Bruce Scott from Harvard
Business School joined his former
student and then-Deputy Commandant
Brig. Gen. Volney (Jim) Warner and
CGSC faculty members at Bell Hall
for an overview and demonstration.
The case method approach to problemsolving
and decision-making as
facilitated by Dr. Scott showed how
this instructional method demands
greater analysis of the implications and
consequences of those problems and
decisions.
Later that year, the Foundation and
FSD brought a team of seasoned case
method professors working under the
auspices of Georgetown University
to Fort Leavenworth for a two-day
seminar on how to use cases in
curriculum to increase critical thinking
skills. In 2007, the Foundation/FSD
case method collaboration continued as
Drs. Rita Silverman and William Welty
of Pace University spent two days with
faculty and curriculum developers,
instructing them on how to construct
effective cases to better prepare CGSC
to develop its own meaningful cases
and scenarios.
Over the past six years, the Foundation
has also sponsored the professional
development of many individual
CGSC faculty members and curriculum
developers who have attended case
method instruction seminars on campus
at Harvard.

A Nation Forged in War: How World War II Taught Americans to Get Along
by Thomas Bruscino; 256 pages; illustrations; notes; bibliography; index; University of Tennessee Press, 2010.
Available on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com - hardback- $39.95; kindle- $31.95.
World War II shaped the United States in profound ways, and this new book--the first in the Legacies of War series-
-explores one of the most significant changes it fostered: a dramatic increase in ethnic and religious tolerance. A Nation
Forged in War is the first full-length study of how large-scale mobilization during the Second World War helped to
dissolve long-standing differences among white soldiers of widely divergent backgrounds. Extensively documented, A
Nation Forged in War is one of the few books on the social and cultural impact of the World War II years. Scholars and
students of military, ethnic, social, and religious history will be fascinated by this groundbreaking new volume.
Thomas Bruscino is an Associate Professor in the School of Advanced Military Studies of the
U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He is the author of several works including
“Out of Bounds: Transnational Sanctuary in Irregular Warfare.”
The Road to Rainbow: Army Planning for Global War, 1934-1940
by Henry G. Gole; 256 pages; maps; notes; bibliography; index; U.S. Naval Institute Press, 2002. Available (hardcover
only) on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com - from $40.00.
Using primary sources from the Army War College, the Naval War College, and the National Archives, including materials
discovered years after the publication of the official histories of World War II known as the “Green Books,” Gole
shows that the United States was prepared intellectually from the mid-1930s to mobilize people and things for another
world war. Gole counters the accepted historical wisdom that military planning for war with Germany and Japan only
began when U.S. security was threatened with a forceful body of evidence indicating that the U.S. Army planned for
coalition warfare as early as 1934, and specifically for a simultaneous two-ocean war with a Nazi Confederation and
Japan in 1935, 1936, and 1937.
Co-published with the Association of the U.S. Army, this work for the first time fully discloses the extent of the Army’s
strategic planning, carried out at the Army War College in coordination with the Army’s General Staff. The Army’s
joint and combined military options became known as the Rainbow Plans. The author’s findings will cause readers to
reconsider long accepted “truths” about military planning before World War II and to reevaluate some of the now fiftyyear-old
findings of the Green Books.
Henry G. Gole, Col., USA (Ret.), Ph.D., fought in Korea as an enlisted rifleman and served two tours in Vietnam as
a Special Forces officer. He has taught at West Point, the U.S. Army War College, the University of Maryland, and
Dickinson College. He is the author of “Soldiering: Observations from Korea, Vietnam, and Safe Places” and “General

U.S. Presidents and the Militarization of Space, 1946-1967
by Sean N. Kalic; 224 pages; appendices; notes; bibliography; index; Texas A&M University Press, 2012. Available on
amazon.com - $40.00.
In the clash of ideologies represented by the Cold War, even the heavens were not immune to militarization. Satellites
and space programs became critical elements among the national security objectives of both the United States and the
Soviet Union. Between 1953 and 1967 Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson all saw nonaggressive military
satellite development, as well as the civilian space program, as means to favorably shape the international community’s
opinion of the scientific, technological, and military capabilities of the United States. Kalic’s reinterpretation of the
development of U.S. space policy, based on documents declassified in the past decade, demonstrates that a single vision
for the appropriate uses of space characterized American strategies across parties and administrations during this period.
Sean N. Kalic is an associate professor in the Department of Military History at the U.S. Army Command and General
Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He holds a Ph.D. from Kansas State University.

The Sulu Arms Market- National Responses to a Regional Problem
by Lino Miani; 244 pages – paperback only; figures; tables; abbreviations/acronyms list; bibliography; index; Institute of
Southeast Asian Studies, 2011. Available on amazon.com - paperback $36.48; Kindle $34.66.
Situated in a remote area long a historical buffer zone between competing political entities, the Sulu Arms Market is an
illicit market of a typical form in that it is both a source and a destination for less-than-legal guns. What makes the Sulu
market unique is its longevity, which is measured in centuries. In modern times, guns from the area supply conflicts and
crime from Japan to Sri Lanka to Papua New Guinea and beyond; and in turn the world pours guns and ammunition into
Mindanao, the Maluku (Molucca) Islands, and to a lesser extent, Malaysia and the rest of the Philippines. Like most black
arms pipelines, the Sulu Arms Market is intertwined with piracy, terrorism, and the traffic of other illicit commodities.
Criminal gangs, communists, Moro independence groups, and Islamic militants are all major players in the market, making
it a security problem for at least five member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Maj. Lino Miani is a U.S. Army Special Forces officer with more than seven years of special operations experience in
Asia, Africa and the Middle East. He is a graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and holds
a Master’s of Interagency Studies from the University of Kansas he obtained in the inaugural class of the Special

General Mark Clark: Commander of U.S. Fifth Army and Liberator of Rome
by Jon B. Mikolashek; 272 pages; Casemate, 2012. Available on amazon.com- $21.75; and barnesandnoble.com- $22.23.
Although not nearly as well known as other U.S. Army senior commanders, Gen. Mark Clark is one of the four men-along
with Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley-who historian Martin Blumenson called “the essential quartet of American leaders
who achieved victory in Europe.” The brutal Italian Campaign has been long overshadowed by D-Day and the campaign
across France and into Germany. Likewise, the senior U.S. commander in Italy has been largely overlooked when one
thinks of the great captains of the war. Mikolashek remedies this situation, shedding much needed historical light on one
of America’s most important fighting generals in this “warts and all” biography. It also demonstrates the importance of the
Italian Campaign, paying tribute to the valorous soldiers of U.S. Fifth Army and their Allied comrades.
Jon Mikolashek, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of History for the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. He
previously worked for the United States Army Center of Military History, Contemporary Studies Branch, researching and
writing on the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. He earned his masters degree in United States History from James Madison
University in 2004 and his Ph.D. from Florida State University in 2007. His educational and publishing background
includes the American experience in World War II, World War I, and the War on Terror. He has taught American history
courses at numerous universities and colleges.
Cain at Gettysburg
by Ralph Peters; 429 pages; four battle maps; Forge, 2012. Available at amazon.com (hardcover-$13.98; audiobook-
$25.60; Kindle- $12.99), barnesandnoble.com (hardcover-$13.98; Nook- $12.99) and all major bookstores.
A recent bestseller, Cain at Gettysburg has been hailed by critics as “magnificent” and “surpassing Michael Shaara’s classic
The Killer Angels.” A gritty, rigorously accurate account of America’s most-famous battle, the novel brings to life the
famed combat actions, but also portrays the challenges for commanders who lacked sleep, maps, adequate staffs and sound
intelligence—and had to deal with difficult subordinates. Told through the eyes of famed generals and forgotten enlisted
men, this novel also highlights the vital roles played by immigrants from Ireland, Germany and Poland on this great battlefield.
Ralph Peters is the author of 28 books, ranging from writings on strategy to prize-winning novels. Currently Fox News’
Strategic Analyst, as a journalist, researcher or Soldier he has worked in numerous conflict zones, including Iraq, Israel
during the 2006 war, Pakistan, the Caucasus, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. A 1992 graduate of CGSC, he
enlisted in the Army as a private in 1976, graduated from OCS in 1980, and retired to write full time in 1998. He served
in Military Intelligence and Infantry units before becoming a Foreign Area Officer.
America’s Heroes: Medal of Honor Recipients from the Civil War to Afghanistan
Edited by James H. Willbanks; 534 pages; figures; tables; charts; tables; abbreviations/acronyms list; bibliography;
index; ABC-CLIO, 2011. Available at amazon.com (hardcover-$85.00; Kindle- $68.00) and barnesandnoble.com (hardcover-$76.50)
America’s Heroes: Medal of Honor Recipients from the Civil War to Afghanistan pays tribute to Americans who have
demonstrated uncommon valor in the face of great danger. The Medal of Honor recipients featured in this book all acted
heroically to earn this highly coveted award, many of them by risking—or sacrificing—their lives to save the lives of others.
The stories of these individuals—chosen to reflect the wide diversity of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, branches of
service, and conflicts of the recipients—will broaden readers’ understanding and appreciation of the Medal of Honor and
the distinguished Americans who have received it.
In addition to the gripping stories of these heroic Americans, this unique encyclopedia includes an introduction that chronicles
