Combined Arms Center
The Combined Arms Center (CAC) is a key institution within the United States Army, located at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Its primary mission is to develop and integrate training, doctrine, and leader development for combined arms operations, which involve the coordinated use of different military branches and units. The CAC plays a vital role in preparing soldiers and leaders for modern warfare.
Additionally, the CAC oversees the Army's Command and General Staff College, which educates officers on operational art and strategy. By focusing on joint operations, the CAC ensures that the Army can effectively collaborate with other services, such as the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, enhancing overall military effectiveness.
