Naval War College (U.S.)

A group research study that concentrated on the Command and Staff Course of the Naval War College and addressed two questions: (1) What should the product of the School of Naval Command and Staff be in terms of acquired skills and knowledge; and (2) How many graduates having the aforementioned skills and knowledge are required annually? The purpose of this study was to identify the product of the Naval Command and Staff school and conduct a billet analysis to determine Navy requirements for graduates in order to provide a basis for a critical analysis of the school and its curriculum to produce the necessary graduates in sufficient quantity and quality to satisfy the Navy's requirements.
