National War College As you might expect, President Theodore Roosevelt wanted the American military to appear powerful and unified to the rest of the world. The Spanish-American War had shown that there were serious problems in the way the Army and Navy worked together during war time. The Army War College was completed in 1907 as a setting in which promising young Army and Navy officers could train in teams. During and after World War I, approximately 100 students studied military strategy, tactics, and logistics here. At the beginning of World War II, the school was closed for a while, but it opened again in 1946 with a new name--the National War College. The college was expanded to include all branches of the armed forces, as well as the Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency. |
