For almost a century and a half, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) has shaped the intellectual foundations of the Army’s warfighting excellence. As America’s School for War, the institution has repeatedly adapted to changes in the character of conflict, from the mechanization and mass mobilization of the 20th century to the complex, multidomain operational environment of today. As a pioneer in distance education for over 100 years, CGSC has continually evolved its methods to reach officers wherever they serve, ensuring access to high-quality professional military education regardless of location or component.
Today, under the Army’s mandate for continuous transformation and the reorganization of the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to Transformation and Training Command (T2Com), CGSC is undertaking one of the most significant reforms to professional military education (PME) in its modern history: a comprehensive redesign of the Command and General Staff School’s Asynchronous Distance Learning Common Core (ADL-CC) program. This reform is not merely a pedagogical update. It is a deliberate structural transformation designed to enable more officers to rapidly complete the common core curriculum, producing more Military Education Level 4 (MEL 4, the Army’s intermediate level education qualification) qualified officers with relevant warfighting skills aligned with large scale combat operations (LSCO) and multi domain operations (MDO).
