 
The Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth has the mission of preparing the Army and its leaders for war. Fort Leavenworth is the Army’s center for excellence in leader development, doctrine, collective training, and battle command.
(http://www.leavenworth.army.mil)
The Combined Arms Center, as a major subordinate headquarters of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, has often been referred to as the “Intellectual Center of the Army.” It is, in many regards, “home base” for the majority of field grade officers across the Army.
Since 1882, CAC and its predecessor organizations have been engaged in the primary mission of preparing the Army and its leaders for war.
At present, this mission is divided between preparing the Army for the Global War on Terrorism and transforming it to meet future threats.
To accomplish these critical missions, CAC provides Armywide leadership and supervision for leader development and professional military and civilian education; institutional and collective training; functional training; training support; battle command; doctrine; lessons learned; and other specified areas that the TRADOC Commander designates. All of these are focused toward making CAC a catalyst for change and to support the development of a relevant and ready ground force to support joint, interagency and multinational operations anywhere in the world.
CAC’s subordinate organizations at Fort Leavenworth accomplish its mission tasks related to leader development, Army doctrine, collective training and battle command. These agencies are Combined Arms Center – Training, Combined Arms Center – Knowledge, Combined Arms Center – Capabilities Development Integration Directorate, and Combined Arms Center – Leader Development and Education.
CAC is commanded by a lieutenant general who serves as the TRADOC Deputy Commanding General for Combined Arms, the Commander of the Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth, the Commandant of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, and the Director of the Joint Center for International Security Force Assistance.
