Recognizing achievement<br />
Lt. Gen. Robert Arter, U.S. Army, Ret.<br />
In this issue of the<br />
CGSC Foundation<br />
News we feature<br />
just a few of<br />
the extraordinary<br />
achievements of the<br />
Director of the CIA,<br />
<strong>General</strong> David H.<br />
Petraeus, U.S. Army,<br />
Retired, the 2012 recipient of<br />
the Foundation’s Distinguished<br />
Leadership Award. Perhaps no<br />
other general in American military<br />
history has garnered more deserved<br />
acclaim than he. His rapid rise in rank,<br />
his military, scholastic, <strong>and</strong> diplomatic<br />
accomplishments, highlighted by his<br />
remarkable <strong>and</strong> prescient battlefield<br />
successes, mark him as one of history’s<br />
great Soldier-Statesmen. As a former<br />
<strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>ant of the <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>General</strong> <strong>Staff</strong> <strong>College</strong>, he was one<br />
of the earliest enthusiastic supporters<br />
of the CGSC Foundation. We remain<br />
special heirs as the result of this unique<br />
association, as do countless others who<br />
have been so positively impacted by<br />
www.cgscf.org<br />
this giant.<br />
A<br />
renowned<br />
leader in<br />
her own<br />
right, Holly<br />
Petraeus<br />
was featured<br />
in the Fall<br />
2011 CGSC<br />
Foundation News.<br />
The theme, “Focus on<br />
Families”, recognized Holly<br />
for her singular, ongoing successes<br />
in the important work of protecting<br />
military families from predatory<br />
lending practices.<br />
The Petraeus’ are, by every measure,<br />
one of history’s unique leadership<br />
teams. Their visionary, indelible,<br />
selfless service to Army, the Armed<br />
Forces <strong>and</strong> Nation is legend. Once<br />
again we commend <strong>and</strong> salute them.<br />
For the first time, the Foundation<br />
is participating as an exhibitor in the<br />
2012 AUSA National gathering in<br />
Washington, D.C., Oct. 22-24. We<br />

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

Brig. Gen. Davis addresses the students<br />
of CGSC Class 12-01 after a run on<br />
June 5, celebrating their impending<br />
graduation June 8, 2012.<br />
Editors Note: This interview is part<br />
of a continuing series of interviews with<br />
CGSC leadership about the mission <strong>and</strong><br />
priorities of the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
cGscF news: Based on your recent<br />
experience as a deputy division<br />
<strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>er deployed in operations,<br />
what do you hope to bring to CGsC<br />
during your assignment <strong>and</strong> what initiatives<br />
have you already begun?<br />
brig. Gen. Davis: First, let me say I’m<br />
both hu<strong>mb</strong>led <strong>and</strong> very excited to be the<br />
Deputy <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>ant of CGSC at this<br />
historic moment in time. Our Army is<br />
at a strategic inflection point. It is drawing<br />
down its operational commitments<br />
in Afghanistan. It is beginning a multiyear<br />
drawdown in structure <strong>and</strong> endstrength.<br />
It is adjusting to new <strong>and</strong> uncertain<br />
threats abroad, all the while trying to<br />
develop the right sets of capabilities for<br />
the future. The position I hold is a great<br />
place to be to influence that future. Here<br />
we are developing <strong>and</strong> educating the<br />
officers who will be our Army’s future<br />
leaders meeting the challenges I’ve just<br />
laid out. As for what I bring, I would say<br />
it is a wide range of co<strong>mb</strong>at <strong>and</strong> stability<br />
operations experience as well as intimate<br />
cultural, regional, <strong>and</strong> language expertise<br />
due to unique opportunities I have<br />
had in assignments in Europe, Africa<br />
<strong>and</strong> Asia. I also bring comm<strong>and</strong> experience<br />
in TRADOC <strong>and</strong> FORSCOM units,<br />
Right, CGSC<br />
Deputy<br />
<strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>ant<br />
Brig. Gen.<br />
Davis greets<br />
Congressman<br />
Kevin Yoder,<br />
the U.S.<br />
Representative<br />
for the 3rd<br />
District of Kansas,<br />
on a visit to<br />
CGSC <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Lewis <strong>and</strong> Clark<br />
Center, May 3,<br />
2012.<br />
Q&A with the Deputy <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>ant—<br />
Brig. Gen. Gordon “Skip” Davis, Jr.<br />
<strong>and</strong> operational planning experience in<br />
Multinational Corps, Joint Task Force<br />
<strong>and</strong> Co<strong>mb</strong>ined Joint Task Force headquarters.<br />
I hope to leverage that experience<br />
<strong>and</strong> networks to raise the quality of<br />
education in all components of CGSC.<br />
Before I talk about initiatives let me<br />
talk about what we believe is the purpose<br />
of CGSC, our “why” so-to-speak. Our<br />
“why” is simple. CGSC exists to develop<br />
future Army leaders to adapt <strong>and</strong> dominate<br />
in Unified L<strong>and</strong> Operations. By<br />
dominate, we mean not just to prevail (for<br />
example just in time, by the skin of our<br />
teeth), but to prevail or succeed decisively.<br />
We want there to be no question as to<br />
the outcome. We owe this to our civilian<br />
leaders <strong>and</strong> the American public as our<br />
success is critical to our nation’s survival<br />
<strong>and</strong> its future prosperity. How we do<br />
that is what I am focusing my efforts<br />
on. Our “how” is by asse<strong>mb</strong>ling the<br />
best <strong>and</strong> brightest officers from a diverse<br />
joint, inter-agency <strong>and</strong> multi-national<br />
background, by implementing the Army<br />
Learning Model in a world class facility<br />
with a world class faculty, <strong>and</strong> by<br />
focusing on the critical knowledge, skills<br />
<strong>and</strong> attributes to make them the effective<br />
leaders we need for the future. In terms<br />
of knowledge it is new doctrine, concepts<br />
<strong>and</strong> tools as well as the right context<br />
about the current <strong>and</strong> future operational<br />
environment. In terms of skills we mean<br />
21st Century competencies - how to think<br />
critically, how to collaborate <strong>and</strong> develop<br />
their social intelligence, how to lead<br />
through mission comm<strong>and</strong>. In terms of<br />
attributes it is both the 21st Century habits<br />
of mind - creativity, adaptability, agility,<br />
innovation, curiosity, imagination - as<br />
well as the leader attributes of character,<br />
presence <strong>and</strong> intellect that have proven<br />
successful for centuries of Army leaders.<br />
My intent is to maintain CGSC as an<br />
adaptive, learning organization by focusing<br />
on the key quality elements of the<br />
CGSC learning environment - Faculty,<br />
Students, Curriculum <strong>and</strong> Facilities. The<br />
most important initiatives with respect to<br />
each are as follows: (Faculty) adjusting<br />
to a 60:40 civilian to military Faculty ratio<br />
from the current 70:30 mix to leverage the<br />
high level of operational experience in our<br />
Army as well as offer instructor experience<br />
to future leaders; (Students) increasing<br />
the nu<strong>mb</strong>er of inter-agency students<br />
<strong>and</strong> implementing a competitive selection<br />
policy for future <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>General</strong><br />
<strong>Staff</strong> Officers Course (CGSOC) students<br />
called Optimizing Intermediate Level<br />
Education (ILE), (Curriculum) commissioning<br />
a broad curriculum review called<br />
Curriculum 2014, <strong>and</strong> (Facilities) completing<br />
upgrades to Eisenhower Hall.<br />
cGscF news: Can you elaborate on<br />
Curriculum 2014?<br />
brig. Gen. Davis: Curriculum 2014<br />
is a joint undertaking with faculty <strong>and</strong><br />
8 - CGSC FOUNDATION NEWS www.cgscf.org
students to ensure adaptation of our<br />
curriculum to prepare our graduates<br />
between now <strong>and</strong> 2014 to succeed from<br />
the time they leave out to 2020. It is<br />
an opportunity to galvanize <strong>and</strong> inspire<br />
our faculty <strong>and</strong> students to strive for<br />
excellence in an endeavor of great significance<br />
to our Army. Over the next<br />
two years, this endeavor is meant to<br />
take stock of new defense guidance,<br />
new doctrine, the lessons learned that<br />
are emerging from a decade of war,<br />
future Army capabilities being refined<br />
through Unified Quest exercises, as well<br />
as the changes to national policy <strong>and</strong><br />
strategy that we expect to come from<br />
the next U.S. administration (i.e. a new<br />
Quadrennial Defense Review, a new<br />
National Security Strategy). I believe<br />
the changes Gen. Odierno is putting<br />
into place in how the Army generates<br />
readiness on a two-year cycle (versus<br />
three-year) <strong>and</strong> regionally aligns forces<br />
with geographic co<strong>mb</strong>atant comm<strong>and</strong>s<br />
will lead to increased forces available<br />
in 2014 <strong>and</strong> beyond that are aware <strong>and</strong><br />
ready to deploy for new missions associated<br />
with our Prevent, Shape, <strong>and</strong> Win<br />
strategy. Curriculum 2014 is meant to<br />
posture CGSC to provide the best possible,<br />
most value-added education to<br />
majors who will carry out those missions<br />
for the Army out to 2020 <strong>and</strong> beyond.<br />

changing at CGsC?<br />
brig. Gen. Davis: Each of the college’s<br />
four schools is working important<br />
initiatives to improve professional military<br />
education <strong>and</strong> leader development.<br />
The Army recently decided a major<br />
policy change in selection <strong>and</strong> attendance<br />
for the CGSOC taught at the <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Staff</strong> School. Under the<br />

<strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> Sgt.<br />
Maj. Joe Parson<br />
<strong>and</strong> family to the<br />
comm<strong>and</strong> team<br />
in a ceremony on<br />
July 18, 2012.<br />
Brig. Gen. Davis congratulates one<br />
of the 20 special operations officers<br />
who graduated from the Interagency<br />
Studies Program, July 19, 2012. The<br />
program, sponsored by CGSC, the<br />
John F. Kennedy special Warfare<br />
Center <strong>and</strong> School <strong>and</strong> the University<br />
of Kansas, earns each graduating student<br />
a Master of Arts in Global <strong>and</strong><br />
International Studies, Interagency<br />
Studies degree from the University of<br />
Kansas.<br />
new policy, officers will be selected <strong>and</strong><br />
directed to attend CGSOC in one of three<br />
venues at the beginning of their time as<br />
a major. These three venues include<br />
resident attendance at Fort Leavenworth<br />
(or an equivalent year-long course),<br />
attendance at one of the four satellite<br />
campuses, or completion completely via<br />
distance education. CGSOC completion<br />
solely via distance education for<br />
Active Component officers is a change,<br />
although it was common before 2006.<br />
All officers will continue to have an<br />
opportunity to complete CGSOC <strong>and</strong> be<br />
competitive for promotion <strong>and</strong> selection<br />
for comm<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> advanced schooling.<br />
Because the three venues provide a common<br />
curriculum, officers will receive a<br />
similar educational experience regardless<br />
of the venue.<br />
The School of Advanced Military<br />
Science (SAMS) is maintaining its<br />
high quality reputation for operational<br />
planning by continuing to hone students’<br />
skills in planning for the range<br />
of military operations while improving<br />
the integration of joint, interagency <strong>and</strong><br />
multinational efforts in its exercises as<br />
well as focusing on special operations<br />
force integration into Prevent <strong>and</strong> Shape<br />
phases of planning.<br />
The School for Advanced Leadership<br />
<strong>and</strong> Tactics (SALT) is implementing a<br />
new Mid-Grade Learning Continuum<br />
(MLC 2015) across the Army’s 17<br />
Centers of Excellence as well as with the<br />
Reserve Components to: 1) st<strong>and</strong>ardize<br />
Professional Military Education for first<br />
lieutenants <strong>and</strong> captains; 2) re-integrate<br />
key staff <strong>and</strong> comm<strong>and</strong> competencies<br />
that have atrophied over a decade of war;<br />
<strong>and</strong> 3) create multi-echelon <strong>and</strong> multibranch<br />
training opportunities that were<br />
lost when the Co<strong>mb</strong>ined Arms Services<br />
<strong>Staff</strong> School was eliminated in 2005.<br />
The School for <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> Preparation<br />
(SCP) is defining comm<strong>and</strong> competencies<br />
from Company to Brigade level to<br />
ensure a continuum of development in<br />
Pre <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> Courses for Company<br />
through Brigade <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>ers <strong>and</strong><br />
for First Sergeants through <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong><br />
Sergeants Major. SCP is taking preparation<br />
for comm<strong>and</strong> teams to the next<br />

cGscF news: What role or roles do<br />
you see for the CGsC Foundation?<br />
brig. Gen. Davis: The Foundation is<br />
an outst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> critical partner for<br />
CGSC. It provides that margin of excellence<br />
that allows CGSC to maintain its<br />
high quality learning environment <strong>and</strong><br />
a high quality outreach. It provides a<br />
venue for reaching out to the public sector<br />
<strong>and</strong> civilian society to raise awareness<br />
<strong>and</strong> gain recognition <strong>and</strong> support<br />
for the college. It provides the best<br />
way for the college to maintain connections<br />
with alumni, former staff <strong>and</strong><br />
faculty, their families <strong>and</strong> friends. The<br />
Foundation has been invaluable in providing<br />
joint academic <strong>and</strong> research ventures<br />
with businesses <strong>and</strong> civilian organizations.<br />
And, certainly not the least<br />
important, the Foundation has provided<br />
significant funding to a wide variety of<br />
programs that make the overall experience<br />
of students <strong>and</strong> families at CGSC<br />
world class.<br />

Washington, D.C., in June to attend<br />
the public meetings of the Commission<br />

Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC).<br />
These committees met to review <strong>and</strong><br />
make recommendations on the proposed<br />
obverse <strong>and</strong> reverse designs for the<br />
coins. We were pleasantly surprised<br />
that the CCAC recommended only<br />
reverse designs that were e<strong>mb</strong>lematic<br />
of the <strong>College</strong>, which we believe<br />
meets both the spirit <strong>and</strong> intent of this<br />
program. Following the meetings, the<br />
Foundation’s executive committee, on<br />
behalf of the board of trustees, met<br />
to evaluate the choices of the CFA<br />
<strong>and</strong> CCAC. The executive committee’s<br />
recommendations, as well as the CFA’s<br />
<strong>and</strong> CCAC’s, have been provided to<br />
U.S. Treasury Secretary Geithner. We<br />
anxiously await his decision on the<br />

Five-Star<br />

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

Simons Center Report:<br />
Extending reach, influence <strong>and</strong> impact<br />
By Maj. Gen. Ray Barrett, U.S. Army, Ret., Deputy Director<br />
It has been a very busy but exciting<br />
six months for the Simons<br />
Center. We continued our support<br />
to the <strong>College</strong>, awarding student<br />
interagency writing awards to SAMS<br />
<strong>and</strong> ILE students, <strong>and</strong> conducting our<br />
faculty writing competition. We also<br />
participated in seminar exercises simulating<br />
meeting of the National Security<br />
Council, <strong>and</strong> in a conference to determine<br />
required Army interagency capabilities<br />
in 2020.<br />
We have worked hard to extend our<br />
reach, influence, <strong>and</strong> impact along several<br />
fronts. In July, we signed an internship<br />
agreement with Kansas University<br />
<strong>and</strong> are discussing with them sponsoring<br />
a directed reading course in their<br />
Interagency Studies graduate program.<br />
In March, we were contacted by<br />
the Senate Homel<strong>and</strong> Security <strong>and</strong><br />
Governmental Affairs Committee staff<br />
seeking assistance for a study on how to<br />
improve interagency cooperation along<br />
the U.S.-Mexico border. Having visited<br />
with three relevant military comm<strong>and</strong>s<br />
supporting operations along the border,<br />
12 - CGSC FOUNDATION NEWS www.cgscf.org
we provided our insights, connected<br />
them with knowledgeable experts with<br />
operational experience, <strong>and</strong> coordinated<br />
a VTC between the staff me<strong>mb</strong>ers <strong>and</strong><br />
a seminar of CGSC students studying<br />
the issue.<br />
Recently the Air Force <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>Staff</strong> <strong>College</strong> purchased 5,000 copies<br />
of the Interagency H<strong>and</strong>book for<br />
Transitions for use in their courses,<br />
which we had published in 2011. The<br />
State Department’s Foreign Service<br />
Institute also contacted us requesting<br />
copies of all our publications <strong>and</strong> asking<br />
to explore opportunities for partnering<br />
on projects. The Center for Study of<br />
Civil-Military Operations at the U.S.<br />
Military Academy contacted us seeking<br />
our interest in hosting West Point cadets<br />
as summer interns next year, as well.<br />
We also were visited by a representative<br />
of the Joint Interagency Task<br />
Force-National Capitol Region wanting<br />
to learn more about the Center who<br />
stated our website was “…an extremely<br />
valuable tool for me.”<br />
Elizabeth Hill, the Center’s Program<br />
PhOTO COUrTESy ED MArKS<br />

Assistant, has reorganized, exp<strong>and</strong>ed,<br />
<strong>and</strong> enlarged our website over the past<br />
several months. The site’s content has<br />
nearly doubled, growing by 87.5%. The<br />
resource section has increased the most<br />
with many new links to federal agencies,<br />
universities, libraries, <strong>and</strong> research<br />
centers involved in interagency issues.<br />
Elizabeth also exp<strong>and</strong>ed the bibliography<br />
from 800 entries to more than 1,200.<br />
We are also posting new content every<br />
week <strong>and</strong> all our publications are available<br />
through the website. It has become<br />
a true interagency information portal.<br />
We continue an aggressive publication<br />
schedule while improving the quality<br />
of journals, essays, <strong>and</strong> papers. In<br />
May, we published a special edition<br />
InterAgency Journal on the prevention<br />
of mass atrocities <strong>and</strong> genocide, comprised<br />
of papers delivered during the<br />
CGSC Foundation’s Ethics Symposium<br />
conducted in Nove<strong>mb</strong>er 2011. In<br />
August, we published our largest issue<br />
of the Journal to date with nine noteworthy<br />
articles <strong>and</strong> a new section for<br />
book reviews. In Nove<strong>mb</strong>er, we will<br />

publish another special edition of the<br />
Journal dealing with interagency issues<br />
securing the southwest border.<br />
In March, we concluded our first<br />
International Interagency Writing<br />
Competition, with submissions from<br />
across the country <strong>and</strong> throughout<br />
Europe. The winning author was a<br />
Lieutenant Colonel in the Belgian Army<br />
who addressed the subject of interagency<br />
activities immediately following a<br />
regime changing conflict. All three of<br />
the winning papers were published as<br />
InterAgency Papers <strong>and</strong> are available on<br />
our website.<br />
We are continuing to exp<strong>and</strong> our<br />
relationships <strong>and</strong> have plans to conduct<br />
symposia <strong>and</strong> seminars on interagency<br />
aspects of cyber-security, interagency<br />
education <strong>and</strong> training, <strong>and</strong> origins of<br />
the National Security Council during<br />
the Truman <strong>and</strong> Eisenhower administrations.<br />
We are also continuing with writing<br />
the biography of our namesake, Col.<br />
Arthur D. Simons. An author has been<br />
contracted <strong>and</strong> research has begun.<br />
Retired A<strong>mb</strong>assador Edward Marks assumed the duties as director of<br />
the Simons Center in August 2012.<br />
“I am honored for this opportunity to work with the Simons Center,<br />
especially now that the Center’s focus on interagency coordination is so<br />
central <strong>and</strong> important to American foreign policy <strong>and</strong> military strategy,”<br />
Marks said. “‘Whole-of-Government’ is not a pat phrase, but reflects the<br />
important contribution that the CGSC Foundation directly, <strong>and</strong> through<br />
the Simons Center, can make to the U.S. government in general <strong>and</strong> the<br />
<strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Staff</strong> <strong>College</strong> in particular.”<br />
Retiring as a Senior Foreign Service Officer (Minister-Counselor) in<br />
1995, A<strong>mb</strong>assador Marks has since engaged in consulting <strong>and</strong> writing,<br />
primarily on terrorism, interagency coordination, United Nations affairs,<br />
<strong>and</strong> complex international emergencies. Recalled to active duty in 2002-<br />
2005 he served as the Department of State’s advisor on terrorism to the<br />
United States Pacific <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>. He has been a me<strong>mb</strong>er of the advisory<br />
council of the Simons Center since 2010.<br />
Marks joined the Foreign Service in 1956 with early assignments<br />
primarily in Africa. His senior positions include A<strong>mb</strong>assador to the<br />
Republics of Guinea-Bissau <strong>and</strong> Cape Verde, the Department of State’s<br />
Deputy Coordinator for Counterterrorism, Visiting Senior Fellow on<br />
terrorism at the Center for Strategic <strong>and</strong> International Studies (CSIS),<br />
Deputy Chief of Mission in Sri Lanka, Deputy United States Representative<br />
to the Economic <strong>and</strong> Social Council of the United Nations in New York,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Senior Fellow at the National Defense University. He has been<br />
widely published <strong>and</strong> recently co-authored the book U.S. Government<br />

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

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

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

Lieutenant <strong>General</strong><br />
John H. Cushman<br />
In 1973, from comm<strong>and</strong> of the 101st Airborne Division<br />
<strong>and</strong> having served in 1955-1958 on the <strong>College</strong><br />
faculty, then Maj. Gen. John H. Cushman became<br />
<strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>ant of the U.S. Army <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>General</strong><br />
<strong>Staff</strong> <strong>College</strong>. In 1976 he left to comm<strong>and</strong> I Corps (ROK/<br />
US) Group, the Korean-American field-army-size formation<br />
defending the Western Sector of Korea’s DMZ.<br />
As <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>ant, <strong>General</strong> Cushman oversaw the development<br />
for student use of “First Battle,” a two-sided<br />
wargame. Adapting it as “Korea First Battle,” with comm<strong>and</strong>ers<br />
from corps to regiment directing their own forces<br />
against attackers organized <strong>and</strong> thinking like their North<br />
Korean adversary, <strong>and</strong> with participation by USAF <strong>and</strong><br />
ROK air forces, he exercised the defending comm<strong>and</strong>ers<br />
<strong>and</strong> their staffs in real time air/l<strong>and</strong> wargames of their actual<br />
war plans, the first of their kind. These exercises gave<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>ers an experience of war without fighting. It led<br />
to lessons learned. At a time when political leaders were<br />
considering the removal of U.S. ground forces from Korea,<br />
these wargames showed how essential those forces were.<br />
Retired from the Army in 1978, Lt. Gen. Cushman has<br />
since been a writer <strong>and</strong> consultant on comm<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> control<br />
<strong>and</strong> the operations of theater forces. Among his many publications<br />
is Thoughts for Joint <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>ers, self-published<br />
in 1994. He lives with his wife in Washington, D.C.<br />
From all of us, to Lt. Gen. Cushman -- we salute you <strong>and</strong><br />
thank you for your service to the <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>General</strong><br />
<strong>Staff</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>and</strong> the nation.<br />

O. Darby Award for his st<strong>and</strong>out performance at Ranger<br />
School <strong>and</strong> was subsequently assigned to a unit in Italy.<br />
After a series of line <strong>and</strong> staff assignments, Petraeus<br />
attended the <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Staff</strong> <strong>College</strong> at<br />
Fort Leavenworth while a captain, where he received the<br />

of his profession was further demonstrated in the<br />
years that followed by the publication of articles in<br />
academic <strong>and</strong> professional journals in which he offered<br />
compelling challenges to many of the assumptions<br />
that had shaped American military policy since the<br />
Vietnam War. After leaving Fort Leavenworth, he<br />
earned a Ph.D. in international relations at Princeton<br />
University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public <strong>and</strong><br />
International Affairs, completing his dissertation,<br />
titled “The American Military <strong>and</strong> the Lessons of<br />
Vietnam: A Study of Military Influence <strong>and</strong> the Use of<br />
Force in the Post-Vietnam Era,” during the two years<br />
he spent on the faculty at the U.S. Military Academy<br />

to his receiving treatment at the h<strong>and</strong>s of Nashville surgeon<br />
<strong>and</strong> future U.S. Senator William Frist), he was released<br />
from the hospital after amazing onlookers by doing fifty<br />
push-ups to support his argument that he was fit to return<br />
to duty. Two years later, Petraeus assumed the office of<br />
the 101st Division’s Assistant Chief of <strong>Staff</strong> for plans,<br />
operations, <strong>and</strong> training. After service on the U.N. Mission<br />
to Haiti, he took comm<strong>and</strong> of a brigade in the 82nd Airborne<br />
Division before moving on to the Pentagon in 1997 to serve<br />
first on the Joint <strong>Staff</strong> <strong>and</strong> then as executive assistant to<br />
<strong>General</strong> Hugh Shelton, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs<br />
of <strong>Staff</strong>. After promotion to brigadier general <strong>and</strong> another<br />
stint with the 82nd Airborne, during which he saw service<br />
in Kuwait, Petraeus took on the post of Chief of <strong>Staff</strong> of<br />
the XVIII Airborne Corps in 2000. This was followed by<br />
a ten-month tour in the Balkans, where he helped conduct<br />
stabilization operations in Bosnia <strong>and</strong> Herzegovina as the<br />
NATO Stabilization Force Assistant Chief of <strong>Staff</strong> for<br />
Operations, as well as the Deputy <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>er of the U.S.<br />
Joint Interagency Counter-Terrorism Task Force.<br />
In 2003, Petraeus comm<strong>and</strong>ed the 101st Airborne<br />
Division in the invasion of Iraq that overthrew the regime<br />
of Saddam Hussein, with his performance in operations<br />
<strong>and</strong> subsequent efforts conducting stability operations in<br />
Mosul attracting international attention <strong>and</strong> acclaim. The<br />
general’s performance <strong>and</strong> that of his comm<strong>and</strong> were<br />
www.cgscf.org<br />
chronicled by Rick Atkinson’s highly acclaimed book, In<br />
the Company of Soldiers: A Chronicle of Co<strong>mb</strong>at. After<br />
relinquishing comm<strong>and</strong> of the 101st Airborne Division, he<br />
became the inaugural comm<strong>and</strong>er of the Multi-National<br />
Security Transition <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> Iraq, with responsibility for<br />
establishing the comm<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the train <strong>and</strong> equip mission<br />
for Iraqi Security Forces. Petraeus returned to the United<br />
States in late 2005 to assume comm<strong>and</strong> of the U.S. Army<br />
Co<strong>mb</strong>ined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth. Directed<br />
by Chief of <strong>Staff</strong> Peter Schoomaker to “shake things<br />
up,” during his tenure at Fort Leavenworth, Petraeus, in<br />
cooperation with Marine general James Mattis, directed <strong>and</strong><br />
provided the driving force behind the process that produced<br />
the publication of Field Manual 3-24, Counterinsurgency.<br />
He also pushed improvements in the CGSC curriculum,<br />
such as a significant expansion of the military history<br />
program, so it better met the needs of the army <strong>and</strong> nation.<br />
Petraeus’s tenure at Fort Leavenworth ended with his<br />
nomination in Dece<strong>mb</strong>er 2006 <strong>and</strong> his selection in January<br />
2007 to replace Gen. George Casey as comm<strong>and</strong>er of the<br />
Multi-national Force-Iraq. Upon his arrival in Baghdad<br />
in February, Petraeus brought with him an approach to<br />
the problems coalition forces were encountering that<br />
focused more on counterinsurgency methods, as well as<br />
a “brain trust” of advisors to help him implement it that<br />
reflected his insistence on soldiers whose backgrounds<br />
CGSC FOUNDATION NEWS - 25
were distinguished by both military <strong>and</strong> academic<br />
accomplishment. By the fall of 2007, a precipitous decline<br />
in violence in Iraq was evident. How much the reversal of<br />
American fortunes in Iraq was attributable to the increase in<br />
American forces <strong>and</strong> new strategy relative to other factors<br />
will undoubtedly be a subject of debate for years to come,<br />
but there is little debate regarding Petraeus’s critical role in<br />
bringing it about. In Septe<strong>mb</strong>er 2008, Petraeus relinquished<br />
comm<strong>and</strong> in Iraq to assume the post of <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>er, U.S.<br />
Central <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>. On the occasion, Secretary of Defense<br />
Robert Gates spoke for many when he paid tribute to<br />
Petraeus “historic role” in Iraq <strong>and</strong> confidently predicted<br />
it would enshrine the general among “our nation’s greatest<br />
battle captains.”<br />
After nearly two years as comm<strong>and</strong>er of Central<br />
<strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>, Petraeus was asked by President Barack Obama<br />
to take charge of U.S. forces in Afghanistan <strong>and</strong> did so in<br />
July 2010. While in Afghanistan, Petraeus was nominated<br />
by President Obama as director of the Central Intelligence<br />
Agency. The appointment was unanimously approved<br />
by the U.S. Senate <strong>and</strong> on Sept., 6 2011, seven days after<br />
formally retiring from the Army, Petraeus began a new<br />
chapter in his long career of service to the nation when he<br />
was sworn in as the twenty-third director of the CIA.<br />
In his History of the Peloponnesian War, the Greek<br />
historian Thucydides famously declared that, “A nation<br />
that makes a great distinction between its scholars <strong>and</strong> its<br />

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

Retired Marine Gen. Charles C.<br />
Krulak, the 31st comm<strong>and</strong>ant<br />
of the Marine Corps, <strong>and</strong> Gen.<br />
Michael S. Davison, a World<br />
War II <strong>and</strong> Vietnam-era Army general<br />
<strong>and</strong> former comm<strong>and</strong>ant of CGSC, were<br />
inducted into the CGSC Hall of Fame<br />
in a ceremony in the Lewis <strong>and</strong> Clark<br />
Center, May 24, 2012.<br />
Krulak is the first Marine to be inducted<br />
into the Hall of Fame, which surrounds<br />
the atrium of the Lewis <strong>and</strong> Clark Center<br />
where the school is housed. Davison,<br />
who died in 2006, was represented by<br />
his son, Donald Davison, who accepted<br />
the honor on his father’s behalf.<br />
Krulak, a Silver Star recipient, served<br />
in the Marine Corps for 35 years,<br />
according to his official biography. He<br />
began service after graduating from the<br />
U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.,<br />
in 1964 <strong>and</strong> served two co<strong>mb</strong>at tours<br />
in Vietnam. He graduated from CGSC<br />
in 1977, then the National War <strong>College</strong><br />
in 1982. Krulak comm<strong>and</strong>ed the 2nd<br />
Force Service Support Group during<br />
Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm.<br />
He became the 31st comm<strong>and</strong>ant of the<br />
Marine Corps in 1995, during which<br />
he established the Marine Warfighting<br />
Laboratory <strong>and</strong> created the concepts of<br />
“The Three Block War,” which focuses<br />
on modern warfare, <strong>and</strong> “The Strategic<br />
Corporal.”<br />
Krulak said his Fort Leavenworth Hall<br />
of Fame induction is an honor for all<br />
Marines.<br />
“There’s nobody in this room that<br />
wears the uniform that doesn’t realize<br />
that that’s not my recognition,” he said.<br />
“That’s the recognition of thous<strong>and</strong>s<br />
upon thous<strong>and</strong>s of great men <strong>and</strong> women<br />
who wore the uniform of the United<br />
States Marines. And any logical success<br />
that I have, that got my picture up here,<br />
belongs to them.”<br />
Krulak said it was his experience at<br />
Fort Leavenworth that taught him to<br />
think about all sister services as a whole.<br />
He learned of strengths the Army had<br />
that the Marine Corps did not have at the<br />
time. Krulak urged CGSC students not<br />
to let that spirit of cooperation die with a<br />
fight over budgets.<br />
Retired Marine Gen. Charles Krulak, 31st <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>ant of the Marine<br />
Corps <strong>and</strong> the first Marine ever inducted into the CGSC Hall of Fame,<br />
provides remarks after the unveiling of his shadow box that will be displayed<br />
in the Hall of Fame in the Lewis <strong>and</strong> Clark Center atrium.<br />
First Marine, former <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>ant<br />
inducted into CGSC Hall of Fame<br />
“We are all going to be faced with<br />
something that’s very difficult, <strong>and</strong> it’s<br />
called the peace dividend,” he said.<br />
“And you are going to find your services<br />
in many instances gutted. And the key<br />
fight is going to be over resources, <strong>and</strong><br />
you are going to see — unfortunately,<br />
because of the fight over resources —<br />
the tendency to start to break down into<br />
Army, Navy, Air Force <strong>and</strong> Marines.”<br />
Krulak also talked about the need for<br />
service me<strong>mb</strong>ers to invest time with<br />
their families. Like many CGSC students<br />
today, his time at Fort Leavenworth was<br />
the first year he had to spend with his<br />
family amidst deployments <strong>and</strong> new<br />
military assignments.<br />
Donald Davison also talked about<br />
family life growing up in the military.<br />
While serving overseas during World<br />
War II, his father, Gen. Michael S.<br />
Davison, did not see his wife <strong>and</strong> son<br />
for three years.<br />
The elder Davison was commissioned<br />
upon graduating from the U.S. Military<br />
Academy at West Point, N.Y., in 1939<br />

Editor’s Note: This article was edited from the original published April 12, 2012, in the Fort Leavenworth Lamp.<br />
Three international military<br />
officers were inducted into the<br />
CGSC International Hall of<br />
Fame, April 5, 2012, at Fort<br />
Leavenworth.<br />
The <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Staff</strong><br />

gone on to hold the highest position<br />
in their nation’s armed forces or an<br />
equivalent position in a multinational<br />
military organization. Some have even<br />
become heads of state in their home<br />
countries.<br />
Honorees were Gen. Erdal<br />

of others who have been inducted into<br />
the International Hall of Fame.<br />
Lt. Gen. David G. Perkins,<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>ant of CGSC, said the IHOF<br />
ceremony best represents the results<br />
that come out of education at Fort<br />
Leavenworth.<br />
“First of all, it is amazing the impact<br />
this institution has had on them, but<br />
more importantly that they have had on<br />
the world,” Perkins said.<br />
Ceylanoglu graduated from CGSC<br />
in 1984. He has served his nation’s<br />
military since 1966, beginning as an<br />
infantry officer <strong>and</strong> working his way<br />
through the ranks of his army. He<br />
was promoted to general <strong>and</strong> became<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>er of Turkish L<strong>and</strong> Forces in<br />
August 2010.<br />
Dominic has held his current position<br />
in Moldova since 2010. He is the second<br />
inductee from Moldova, which became<br />
independent from the former Soviet<br />
Union in 1991. Last year’s inductee,<br />

Dominic said that the U.S. Army<br />
<strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Staff</strong> <strong>College</strong> has<br />
been a great enhancer of global security,<br />
especially in his country’s military. He<br />
said that there would likely be more IHOF<br />
inductions of past Moldovan students<br />
who have succeeded in Moldova’s<br />
military <strong>and</strong> defense leadership roles.<br />
Maunday enlisted into the Trinidad <strong>and</strong><br />
Tobago regiment in 1978. He attended<br />
the Infantry Officers Course in the U.S.<br />
Infantry School at Fort Benning, Ga.,<br />
along with various other international<br />
military education <strong>and</strong> training courses.<br />
He served as an operations officer in<br />
a multinational peacekeeping force<br />
alongside U.S. forces in Haiti from 1994<br />
to 1995 <strong>and</strong> also served his nation’s<br />

from 1966 to 1968.<br />
During Davison’s final assignment<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>ing U.S. Army Europe in the<br />
early 1970s, he confronted issues of<br />
race relations <strong>and</strong> equal opportunity in<br />
his comm<strong>and</strong>. The NAACP presented<br />
him with its Meritorious Service Award<br />
in 1976.<br />
“I think he led by example <strong>and</strong> placed<br />
good people in important positions<br />
<strong>and</strong> let them do their jobs. He was an<br />

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

taking responsibility as chief of Defence<br />
<strong>Staff</strong> of Trinidad <strong>and</strong> Tobago’s Defence<br />

Maunday, a CGSC Class of 2005<br />
alumnus, referred to CGSC as a premier<br />
institution that encourages analytical <strong>and</strong><br />
creative thought to focus on unknown<br />
emerging threats. For him, attending<br />
CGSC was a year of professional <strong>and</strong><br />
personal growth, <strong>and</strong> he encouraged<br />
students to implement the knowledge<br />
they’ve learned.<br />
“As you rejoin organizations<br />
across the globe, you’ll recognize<br />
the importance of the analytical <strong>and</strong><br />
creative thinking talents developed<br />
here,” he said.<br />

becomes 20th Air<br />
Force Chief of <strong>Staff</strong><br />
by Tech. Sgt. Shawn J. Jones<br />
Air Force Public Affairs Agency<br />
Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, a<br />
36-year Airman, assumed the<br />
duties as the 20th Chief of<br />
<strong>Staff</strong> of the Air Force, Aug.<br />
10, 2012, taking over for Gen. Norton<br />
Schwartz, who also retired from the Air<br />
Force during the ceremony.<br />
Significant for the Fort Leavenworth<br />
community is that Welsh attended<br />
<strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Staff</strong> <strong>College</strong>,<br />
graduating with the class of 1988.<br />
“Mark is respected throughout the<br />
Air Force for his exceptional leadership<br />
<strong>and</strong> ability to connect with Airmen,”<br />
Secretary of the Air Force Michael<br />
Donley said.<br />
Raised in an Air Force family, Welsh<br />
said he found a role model in his father,<br />
a decorated co<strong>mb</strong>at pilot.<br />
“Today, I think he’d be proud of me,”<br />
Welsh said. “And any day a kid can<br />
make his dad proud is a great day.”<br />
Welsh emphasized the need for Airmen<br />
to underst<strong>and</strong> the importance of the other<br />
services in joint operations, but also<br />
www.cgscf.org<br />
said Airmen shouldn’t underestimate the<br />
co<strong>mb</strong>at capabilities of their own service<br />
in winning today’s fight.<br />
“No one else can bring what we bring<br />
to the fight, <strong>and</strong> any real warfighter<br />
knows that,” he said. “Don’t ever doubt<br />
yourself or this service.”<br />
Welsh also addressed his stance<br />
on issues affecting the well-being of<br />
Airmen.<br />
“When it comes to Airman resiliency,<br />
suicide prevention, <strong>and</strong> sexual assault<br />
prevention <strong>and</strong> response, I believe you’re<br />
either part of the solution or you’re part<br />
of the problem,” he said. “There is no<br />
middle ground.”<br />
Welsh also said the Air Force must<br />
shape the future <strong>and</strong> that will require<br />
innovative thinking <strong>and</strong> different<br />
approaches to problems, along with<br />
modernization.<br />
Welsh was nominated by the president<br />
May 10 <strong>and</strong> confirmed by the Senate on<br />
Aug. 2.<br />
In his previous position as the<br />
Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, 20th Chief of <strong>Staff</strong> of the U.S. Air Force.<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>er of U. S. Air Forces in Europe,<br />
he was in charge of Air Force activities<br />
in an area of operations covering nearly<br />
one-fifth of the globe.<br />
Welsh, a 1976 graduate of the Air<br />
Force Academy, has served in numerous<br />
operational, comm<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> staff positions,<br />
such as comm<strong>and</strong>ant of cadets at the U.S.<br />
Air Force Academy, vice comm<strong>and</strong>er of<br />
Air Education <strong>and</strong> Training <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> associate director for military affairs<br />
at the Central Intelligence Agency.<br />
“When I became a squadron<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>er, I felt excited. When I<br />
became a wing comm<strong>and</strong>er, I felt proud.<br />
When I became a major comm<strong>and</strong><br />
comm<strong>and</strong>er, I felt privileged <strong>and</strong> a little<br />
bit old,” he said. “Today when I was<br />
sworn in as chief of staff of the Air<br />
Force, I felt hu<strong>mb</strong>led to be given the<br />
honor of leading its incredible Airmen.”<br />
His experience includes nearly 3,300<br />
flying hours, most of which came in the<br />
A-10 Thunderbolt II <strong>and</strong> F-16 Fighting<br />

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

recognition of the continuing cooperation<br />
between the foundation, the school, <strong>and</strong><br />
Military Review.<br />
Colonel Smith, in his fourth year of<br />
editing the journal, said “Magazines<br />
like Military Review remain vital <strong>and</strong><br />
relevant, even in this age of Twitter,<br />
internet news, <strong>and</strong> the increasingly<br />
shorter attention spans of the American<br />
public. There is still tremendous value<br />
in having a publication of record that<br />
serves as a reference for people today<br />
<strong>and</strong> in the future.”<br />
The initial edition of the magazine,<br />
January 1922, actually came out on<br />
February 10 with the title Instructor’s<br />
Summary of Military Articles. Six<br />
hundred copies were printed. Its name<br />
was officially changed to Military<br />
Review in 1942, <strong>and</strong> it began publishing<br />
in Spanish <strong>and</strong> Portuguese in April of<br />
1945, even before the fall of Berlin in<br />
World War II.<br />
Today, Military Review continues<br />
to publish in English, Spanish, <strong>and</strong><br />
Portuguese, distributing approximately<br />
18,000 copies bimonthly in 86 countries.<br />
Those, co<strong>mb</strong>ined with the annual<br />
Special Readers, bring the total to nearly<br />
140,000 individual copies distributed<br />
every year. Readers <strong>and</strong> subscribers<br />
include me<strong>mb</strong>ers of Congress, military<br />
leaders of all ranks, U.S. <strong>and</strong> foreign<br />

<strong>and</strong> Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.<br />
In May of 2010, Secretary Gates spoke<br />
to the asse<strong>mb</strong>led students <strong>and</strong> faculty<br />
of CGSC. Among other important<br />
topics, he characterized the sometimes<br />
critical articles in Military Review as<br />
“a sign of institutional vitality, health,<br />
<strong>and</strong> strength.” He then called upon<br />
the students “to take on the mantle of<br />
fearless, thoughtful, but loyal dissent<br />
whenever the situation calls for it.”<br />

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

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

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

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

The Sulu Arms Market- National Responses to a Regional Problem<br />
by Lino Miani; 244 pages – paperback only; figures; tables; abbreviations/acronyms list; bibliography; index; Institute of<br />
Southeast Asian Studies, 2011. Available on amazon.com - paperback $36.48; Kindle $3<strong>4.6</strong>6.<br />
Situated in a remote area long a historical buffer zone between competing political entities, the Sulu Arms Market is an<br />
illicit market of a typical form in that it is both a source <strong>and</strong> a destination for less-than-legal guns. What makes the Sulu<br />
market unique is its longevity, which is measured in centuries. In modern times, guns from the area supply conflicts <strong>and</strong><br />
crime from Japan to Sri Lanka to Papua New Guinea <strong>and</strong> beyond; <strong>and</strong> in turn the world pours guns <strong>and</strong> ammunition into<br />
Mindanao, the Maluku (Molucca) Isl<strong>and</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> to a lesser extent, Malaysia <strong>and</strong> the rest of the Philippines. Like most black<br />
arms pipelines, the Sulu Arms Market is intertwined with piracy, terrorism, <strong>and</strong> the traffic of other illicit commodities.<br />
Criminal gangs, communists, Moro independence groups, <strong>and</strong> Islamic militants are all major players in the market, making<br />
it a security problem for at least five me<strong>mb</strong>er states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).<br />

<strong>General</strong> Mark Clark: <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong>er of U.S. Fifth Army <strong>and</strong> Liberator of Rome<br />
by Jon B. Mikolashek; 272 pages; Casemate, 2012. Available on amazon.com- $21.75; <strong>and</strong> barnes<strong>and</strong>noble.com- $22.23.<br />
Although not nearly as well known as other U.S. Army senior comm<strong>and</strong>ers, Gen. Mark Clark is one of the four men-along<br />
with Eisenhower, Patton, <strong>and</strong> Bradley-who historian Martin Blumenson called “the essential quartet of American leaders<br />
who achieved victory in Europe.” The brutal Italian Campaign has been long overshadowed by D-Day <strong>and</strong> the campaign<br />
across France <strong>and</strong> into Germany. Likewise, the senior U.S. comm<strong>and</strong>er in Italy has been largely overlooked when one<br />
thinks of the great captains of the war. Mikolashek remedies this situation, shedding much needed historical light on one<br />
of America’s most important fighting generals in this “warts <strong>and</strong> all” biography. It also demonstrates the importance of the<br />
Italian Campaign, paying tribute to the valorous soldiers of U.S. Fifth Army <strong>and</strong> their Allied comrades.<br />
Jon Mikolashek, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of History for the U.S. Army <strong>Comm<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Staff</strong> <strong>College</strong>. He<br />

writing on the war in Afghanistan <strong>and</strong> Iraq. He earned his masters degree in United States History from James Madison<br />

courses at numerous universities <strong>and</strong> colleges.<br />
Cain at Gettysburg<br />
by Ralph Peters; 429 pages; four battle maps; Forge, 2012. Available at amazon.com (hardcover-$13.98; audiobook-<br />
$25.60; Kindle- $12.99), barnes<strong>and</strong>noble.com (hardcover-$13.98; Nook- $12.99) <strong>and</strong> all major bookstores.<br />
A recent bestseller, Cain at Gettysburg has been hailed by critics as “magnificent” <strong>and</strong> “surpassing Michael Shaara’s classic<br />
The Killer Angels.” A gritty, rigorously accurate account of America’s most-famous battle, the novel brings to life the<br />
famed co<strong>mb</strong>at actions, but also portrays the challenges for comm<strong>and</strong>ers who lacked sleep, maps, adequate staffs <strong>and</strong> sound<br />
intelligence—<strong>and</strong> had to deal with difficult subordinates. Told through the eyes of famed generals <strong>and</strong> forgotten enlisted<br />
men, this novel also highlights the vital roles played by immigrants from Irel<strong>and</strong>, Germany <strong>and</strong> Pol<strong>and</strong> on this great battlefield.<br />
Ralph Peters is the author of 28 books, ranging from writings on strategy to prize-winning novels. Currently Fox News’<br />
Strategic Analyst, as a journalist, researcher or Soldier he has worked in numerous conflict zones, including Iraq, Israel<br />
during the 2006 war, Pakistan, the Caucasus, sub-Saharan Africa <strong>and</strong> Latin America. A 1992 graduate of CGSC, he<br />
enlisted in the Army as a private in 1976, graduated from OCS in 1980, <strong>and</strong> retired to write full time in 1998. He served<br />
in Military Intelligence <strong>and</strong> Infantry units before becoming a Foreign Area Officer.<br />
America’s Heroes: Medal of Honor Recipients from the Civil War to Afghanistan<br />
Edited by James H. Willbanks; 534 pages; figures; tables; charts; tables; abbreviations/acronyms list; bibliography;<br />
index; ABC-CLIO, 2011. Available at amazon.com (hardcover-$85.00; Kindle- $68.00) <strong>and</strong> barnes<strong>and</strong>noble.com (hardcover-$76.50)<br />
America’s Heroes: Medal of Honor Recipients from the Civil War to Afghanistan pays tribute to Americans who have<br />
demonstrated uncommon valor in the face of great danger. The Medal of Honor recipients featured in this book all acted<br />
heroically to earn this highly coveted award, many of them by risking—or sacrificing—their lives to save the lives of others.<br />
The stories of these individuals—chosen to reflect the wide diversity of ethnic <strong>and</strong> cultural backgrounds, branches of<br />
service, <strong>and</strong> conflicts of the recipients—will broaden readers’ underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> appreciation of the Medal of Honor <strong>and</strong><br />
the distinguished Americans who have received it.<br />
In addition to the gripping stories of these heroic Americans, this unique encyclopedia includes an introduction that chronicles<br />
the evolution in the award’s significance. The Medal of Honor has changed greatly over the last 150 years, not only<br />
in the design of the physical decoration itself, but also in terms of the qualifying criteria for the award’s recipients.<br />
