In its early years, the Applicatory School of Cavalry and Infantry, was known derisively as the 'kindergarten' where lieutenants learned the basics of soldiering as well as math and English. Later, during the First World War, 'Leavenworth Men' were sought out to fill primary staff positions within division, corps, and army headquarters, leading the US Army to success on the battlefields of France. During the interwar years, the Command and General Staff School, refined its applicatory instructional method and was responsible for educating thirty-three of thirty-four corps commanders who lead the US Army during World War II. Many of the Army's well know leaders during the Second World War, names like Eisenhower, Patton, and Taylor, later commented on their positive experiences at Fort Leavenworth and the tactical education they received. Following the Second World War, the College changed. Requirements for officers to serve in higher echelon headquarters resulted in an expansion of the curriculum to include joint, interagency, and inter-governmental topics. During this period of change, tactical and doctrinal instruction was reduced, changing the dynamic of education, where tactics was no longer preeminent. Additionally, Fort Leavenworth adopted a collegiate philosophy, changing its mythology of teaching from instruction to education. The adoption of ILE returned some of the tactical instruction focus, but not to the level experienced by the officer corps during the interwar era. This monograph, using a historical narrative, reviews the education of mid-grade officers at Fort Leavenworth during two eras of instruction, divided by the Second World War. Using the criteria of student and instructor selection, teaching methodologies, and curriculum, it reviews both eras and makes recommendations to refine the current ILE curriculum to enhance the level.

Neuware - This monograph examines the SBCT intelligence structure to determine if it is adequately resourced to conduct operations under a corps headquarters serving as a Joint Task Force Headquarters without a dedicated division level fusion cell. This question is considered due to a lack in Army doctrine for the establishment of a Stryker Division headquarters to serve as the link between a SBCT and a corps headquarters. This monograph answers the question by comparing the capabilities of a division and a corps ACE to the intelligence capabilities of a Stryker Brigade. The first two chapters look at the development and structure of the SBCT, with specific emphasis placed on the SBCT intelligence structure. The third chapter reviews the structure and capabilities of a division and corps ACE. The comparison chapter uses the six-step joint intelligence cycle as criteria to compare these two structures. A trend found during the comparison chapter is an apparent lack of experienced personnel (specifically by rank structure) within the SBCT. While the Stryker Brigade has a robust intelligence structure in size, equipment, and number of personnel, the level of experience resident in its analysis teams are significantly less than that found in a division ACE. If a Stryker Brigade deploys directly under a corps headquarters serving as a JTF headquarters, it could be inadequately supplied with the necessary detail of intelligence to conduct effective operations. Three options are presented to improve the intelligence capabilities of a SBCT. The first is to restructure of the SBCT MI company to include analysis teams lead by senior warrant officers, versus the current three-platoon structure. A second option is for the SBCT to only deploy under control of a standing division headquarters. This action would provide the SBCT with access to a division ACE structure for intelligence support. The third option to improve the intelligence capability of the SBCT is to establish a standing AC.
