No Hijinks Allowed at Army's
Command and Staff College

$H TheoU.S. Army Com
mand and General Staff Col
lt4 is a deadly serious busi
ness it trains leaders for
wjr.
& is a college, but not one
for cut-ups or hijinks. Its stu
dents e mature, professional
men. The average age is 35
and average rank is major. In
fact, a captain is low man on
the totem pole on this historic
njglitary reservation.
Young Rafael Trujillo, play
boy son of the Dominican
leader, discovered not long
a so that even a general must
toe the mark at Fort Leaven
worth or not be graduated.
That stirred up a diplomatic
ruckus of sorts, but created no
policy changes at the com
mand college.
The curriculum ranges
from Russian geography to
how many men will be killed
per megaton of atomic ex
plosion. In between is a sub
. ject that has been facing mili
tary men since before the
crusades, but now for the first
time brought up in the class
room. ' Actually, the subject falls
into two categories, "moral
courage" and "psychology."
The school's commandant,
Maj. Gen. Lionel C. McGarr,
a rare combination of combat,
academic and administrative
talent as well as farsighted
ness, explains it well and
briefly.
Training in moral courage
boils down to conditioning an
officer in wartime to face
such decisions as whether "to
tear up a city or a hillside"
in carrying out his orders.
The psychological angle
means turning out officers
who are able to inspire their
men. "That has been the dif
ference between great and
good divisions," said McGarr.
"Those are the most impor
tant things we can teach out
side of the ABC's of the
trade." .
Began in 1881
The command and general
staff school has evofved from
its beginning in 1881 as the
School of Application for In
fantry and Cavalry. Today it
has a 41-week course that
eventually teaches half of all
regular army officers.
The qualifications for entry
are tough. An officer must
have eight years of experi
ence and be under 42 years
of age. The Department of the
Army nominates some 615
students on their overall ca
reer record for the yearly
course.
"There is no black mark on
your record if you don't make
the college," .a, staff member
said, then thoughtfully adding
in an understatement, "but it
helps if you do."
The fact that the college
can handle so comparatively
few men is a sore spot. But
it will be partly alleviated
late this fall when a modem,
six - million dollar academic
building is completed. This
will eliminate classrooms in
19th Century riding arenas
and gymnasiums and will up
the enrollment to about 750.
In addition to the regular
course, the staff college holds
two associate, or "half
courses," per year, plus nu
merous refresher courses for
National Guard and Reserve
officers. It even holds a cor
respondence course by mail
and two special nuclear cours
es to bring old Army men up
to date on atomic warfare.
Among its other purposes
are helping other Army
schools with teaching doctrine
and combat development.
This latter department, Mc
Garr explains, is designed to
"develop a weapon to fit a
situation, rather than a situa
tion for a weapon."
An example, he said, is the
fact that the Army needs
"smaller and smaller" atomic
bombs to wipe out an isolated
area without endangering
friendly troops or populations.
Allied Officers Enrolled
Among the regular Army
officers enrolled is a sprin
kling of officers from Allied
nations as well as the sister
services of the U.S., the Navy,
Marines and Air Force.
The Allied officers are nom
inated by their own countries,
but the U.S. Army has the
final say on whether they
may attend Fort Leaven
worth. Before going through the
regular course, these officers
a:e given a chance to brush
up on their English in gener
al, and on U.S. military ter
minology in particular.
McGarr puts it this way:
"The more we can teach them
our concepts, the better off
the commander in the field
will be when he has to fight
