The course in Military Strategy and Logistics will provide you the conceptual tools you will need to assess a military strategic situation, decide how to proceed, and construct a plan that meets national objectives. We begin with a phase on the fundamentals of warfare, presenting the features of war that have remained constant through recorded history, and evaluating their relevance in today’s environment. We then move to a phase addressing national processes for strategy and resources at the national level. Our final phase moves to the theater level looking at campaigning, plans and logistics. Logistics are at the heart of this process, both for deployment and for execution.

We use a range of teaching tools—readings and seminar discussion, case studies, and a culminating theater exercise. These are designed to take advantage of the expertise and experience brought to the seminar by each of its members.
