The storied university campus environment at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., known as “the intellectual center of the Army,” could soon include the Sergeants Major Academy and the Warrant Officers Career College.

The move to relocate the schools may be a few years off, but the idea is getting official consideration. A feasibility study and cost-benefit analysis is underway at the request of Combined Arms Center commander Lt. Gen. William Caldwell.

The initiative is aimed at building a more diverse classroom at the Command and General Staff College by bringing together battlefield leaders with shared experiences and increasingly overlapping levels of responsibility.

“We’re really seeing NCOs operate at a much different level than they have traditionally done and we’re seeing interaction between our field grade officers taking on a whole new aspect of change,” said Dale Ormond, deputy to the commanding general of the Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth.

“We could do mutual training and education between our field grade officers who go to CGSC and our senior NCOs who go to the Sergeants Major Academy,” he said.
