U.S. Army Bloggers Roundtable with Combat Veterans from the Command and General Staff College

The U.S. Army Command and General Staff College is the heart of Fort Leavenworth and the Combined Arms Center. At CGSC mid-career field grade officers learn about operational art, leadership, history and a myriad of other subjects. This experience helps develop them into competent, capable staff officers who are poised to become tomorrow's senior Army leaders. Staff group 19 Alpha is making themselves available as a group to answer any questions you might have about any topic pertaining to the military. Virtually all of them are OIF or OEF veterans, with more than half counting more than two combat tours. Their experiences are diverse, representing all branches of the Army. The staff group consists of an Air Force and Marine Corps element with a Danish officer who has supported both OIF and ISAF. Feel free to pose questions about Gen.

These field grade officers provide ground truth about the large issues in today's military.
