OUR COMMITMENT
The Joint Forces Staff College is a learning organization committed to the pursuit of a culture on innovation and adaptation. We provide the joint community with warriors and future national security leaders who understand joint doctrine and view the battlefield through a joint, multinational, and interagency lens. The small purple and multinational seminars, led by purple cadre teams, focus on joint doctrine at the operational level employing historical case studies and computer-driven war games to create the intellectual rigor to stretch student minds. The results yield the critical thinking required to conceive and apply joint solutions on the 21st Century battlefield. Joint Forces Staff College is transforming to keep pace with the information age world we live in while delivering a first class educational experience.
