NAVAL WAR COLLEGE
The Naval War College was established to
provide military officers a chance to study their
profession in mid-career, much as many civilian
professionals frequently do. The mission of the
Naval War College is to enhance the professional
capabilities of its students. It helps students in
both command and management positions
increase their ability to make sound decisions. It
also helps them to conduct research leading to the
development of advanced strategic and tactical
concepts for the future employment of naval
forces. The Naval War College was established on
6 October 1884 by order of the Secretary of the
Navy. Rear Admiral Stephen B. Lute (fig. 10-2)
