(4) The Command and General Staff College, 
the Nations’ oldest military staff college, does not

around the globe. Located in the middle of the 
American heartland, will continue to serve as a bea-
con of light to the proposition of intellectual curi-
osity and professional military excellence in the de-
velopment of its students, and serve as a link to 
American citizenry grateful for the sacrifices, some 
in the fullest measure of duty and devotion to the 
Nation, made by the graduates of its Command and 
Staff College.
