Program Overview

Advanced Military Studies is:

a Masters Level course creates insightful problem solvers enables Joint and Coalition Planning focuses on combining History-Doctrine-Theory

Led by instructors who are:

SAMS/SAW/SASS/JAWS/MAWS qualified previous instructors former officers with planner experience at the Division level and higher

Expectations

Graduates will be:

critical and creative thinkers grounded in operational theory, doctrine, and history can identify problems and propose viable solutions can clearly communicate orally, graphically, and in writing strong leaders who collaborate effectively posses the courage to lead from above, across the staff, and below physically and mentally tough are humble professionals who are more than they seem

Adult Learning Model

Adult Learning Theory is a framework that explains how adults learn differently from children. This is high level education, NOT training.

It emphasizes principles like self-direction, experiential learning, and the importance of practical application in making learning relevant.

Promotes discussion and challenging of ideas through frank debate and understanding that contributing and challenging peers and the status quo is expected of students.

This course seeks to refine thought process of students to reach Stage 5: Self-Transforming mind

– Top 1% of the adult population.

Pedagogy enables senior leaders to drive the operations process to achieve favorable strategic, operational, and tactical outcomes forces student to challenge ideas gain understanding through working outside of their previous comfort zones expand students’ breadth of considerations in planning inputs to improve outputs Focused on whiteboard collaboration and work

Terminal Learning Objective (TLO): SAMS110-1 (Allocated time – 44 sessions) Action: Analyze and contrast military theorists and their particular approaches to war.

Condition: Acting as an individual or on a problem-solving team, drawing on references, writing assignments, e-learning means, small group discussions, practical exercises, personal experience, and individual learning while faced with ambiguous, ill structured problems characteristics of the operational environment.

Standard: Analysis includes:

₋ Foundations of Military Thought, (SAMS111-1) ₋ Theory of Classic Military Strategy (SAMS112-1) ₋ Modern Military Theorists, (SAMS113-1)

Learning Domain: Cognitive Level of Learning: Analysis

Course Design and Development: This 48-session course, taught in 3 lessons, will enable the students to compare military operations based on study of theorists from the classical to the modern era. Students learn different theories of military art by examining the writings of Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, Jomini, Boyd, and other theorists whose impact resonates throughout the evolution of warfare. The first lesson, “Foundations of Military Thought,” explores the nature of war and evaluates the development of military thought and practice in the classical and middle ages. The second lesson, “Theorists of Classic Military Strategy,” enables the students to examine warfare as practiced by Napoleon Bonaparte and explained by Bourcet, Guibert, Clausewitz, and Jomini. In the third lesson, “Modern Military Theorists,” students examine military theories of post-World War I thinkers to gain an appreciation for operations in modern maneuver warfare and the complex current environment.

Sample Readings:

“The Art of War” – Sun Tzu “The Art of War” – Baron De Jomini “On War” – Carl von Clausewitz “Patterns of Conflict” – John Boyd

Lesson 111

Enabling Learning Objective (ELO): SAMS111-1 (Allocated time – 16 sessions) Description: Instruction associated with this objective will enable students to begin to explore the nature of war through the theoretical writings of Sun Tzu, Carl Von Clausewitz, Antoine Henri Jomini, and John Boyd. Subsequently students will evaluate the methods of conducting military operations during the classical and middle ages based on study of practitioners from Classical Greece and Rome, Genghis Khan and the Mongols, and Arab Mameluke campaigns. Students learn to be receptive to the different theories of warfare and their implications for the development of modern operational art.

Action: Explore nature of war theorists and evaluate the development of military thought and practice in the classical and middle ages.

Condition: Acting as an individual or on a problem-solving team, drawing on references, writing assignments, e-learning means, small group discussions, practical exercises, personal experience, and individual learning while faced with ambiguous, ill structured problems characteristics of the operational environment.

Standard: Exploration and Evaluation includes:

- The Nature of Warfare

- Classical Greek Military Thought and Warfare

- Roman Military Thought and Warfare

- Mongolian and Mameluke Warfare of the Middle Ages

Learning Domain: Cognitive Level of Learning: Analysis Supports or Reinforces: All courses of the SAMS Curriculum

Sample Readings:

• “The Art of War” – Sun Tzu

• “The Art of War” – Baron De Jomini

• “On War” – Carl von Clausewitz

• “Patterns of Conflict” – John Boyd

• “The Wars of the Ancient Greeks” – Victor Davis Hanson

• “The History of the Peloponnesian War” – Thucydides

• “The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire” – Edward Luttwak

Case Studies

Reflect the lessons from history that the instructors use to provide real world examples to the students

Must be in line with doctrine or explain the necessities of doctrinal changes and revolutions in military affairs

Readings

Reflect specific lessons and points of interest that support the learning objectives of the lessons being taught

Should have a historical or doctrinal background

If copyrighted, must conform with current licensing requirements

Staff Ride (Campaign Analysis)

Should be taught in a “crawl-walk-run” methodology

Students must understand the study and briefing requirements

Should include a local staff ride (i.e. Masmak Fort) to help the students understand the purpose, format, and instructor expectations before a full staff ride is conducted

Previous Staff Ride was conducted at Gettysburg and Yorktown

Monograph

A monograph is a scholarly work that focuses on a single subject or a narrow aspect of a subject. It's typically a 40-60 page study or detailed paper. Monographs are often used in academic settings to explore various topics, including historical events, military revolutions, and future political/military changes in a organization.

The small group instructor presents the thesis requirements to the student at the beginning of the program year and assigns the student a thesis advisor from the AMSP and/or CSC faculty

The student selects his specific topic in consultation with his advisor and submits periodic drafts as directed

The thesis paper is 30% of the overall program final grade.

The Monograph Paper is submitted by the AMSP student 14 days prior to program completion

Oral Exams

Is a public examination/discussion of the student’s Monograph.

The student presents his thesis as a single, self-contained work. It must be able to be clearly articulated and conveyed to the review committee.

The presentation is followed by a discussion with a committee of CSC Cadre, and a final decision on the candidate's suitability for being worthy of graduating and receiving a Masters Degree in Operational Planning.

Revision vs Development Superficial Revision

Adjustments curriculum materials that constitute changes to references, readings, and/or corrections to wording for communication or translation.

Revision Changes to the curriculum to update the material that represents significant work to change.

All changes/updates to the curriculum that are believed to be necessary should be captured throughout the year by instructors to be presented monthly as requests.

May be executed by contractor or by MNG instructors at the discretion of the College and authorized by the KO.

Development Constitutes new lessons or modules to be created by the contractor.

Questions & Request to View Materials

Contractors are able to view any of the curriculum that the wish to see as a group during the remainder of this event.
