Modern conflicts such as the ongoing war in Ukraine demonstrate the enduring necessity of technical adaptation Regional conflicts like Nagorno-Karabakh and Sudan provide contemporary examples of how quickly crisis can escalate into war with regional and global implications. Strategic leaders rely on officers across the Joint Force whose professional military education and operational experience enable them to inform commanders’ decisions. The pace of modern conflict demands the ability to provide “decision dominance” or “providing commanders the ability to assess the battlefield, make decisions, and apply lethal capabilities …[and] do it quicker than the enemy can do it.” To increase the speed of decision making, the US Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, is expanding its digital toolbox with systems that offer opportunities for faster analysis, plans development, and automated execution processes through artificial intelligence (AI) and improved collaboration capabilities. In 2025, the Secretary of the Army directed the integration of AI into Command and Control nodes to accelerate decision making, reinforcing the educational modernization at CGSC.
As the Army’s “School for War” the Command and General Staff School (CGSS) is a school for applied warfighting and organizational leader development. It prepares field grade warfighters to plan, synchronize, and execute operations to win at the Joint and Combined Task Force, Corps, and Division levels through a curriculum that integrates data analytics, AI, and “system” thinking. CGSC provides its students with access to modern AI and collaborative tools in recognition of the need for adaptive officers to enable the planning process and provide commanders creative, data enabled solutions to complex challenges. In enabling its graduates, leading warfighters Day 1 at their next role, educational efforts through augmentation by teaming human capability, experience, creativity, and ethics, with machine capacity, the school provides experiences in keeping with its mission to educate and develop graduates who are.
