The course leads to certification as having completed Joint Professional Military Education I or II as appropriate and to an M.A. in National Security and Strategic Studies. Military officers from more than fifty countries also form part of the student body in both the senior and intermediate level programs. The Strategy and Policy Course, one of the three core courses in the programs of study at the Naval War College, uses strategic theory and the history of war to develop leaders who are strategically minded, critical thinkers by providing the analytical competencies that are fundamental to understanding the complex relationship among policy aims, strategy, and military operations. The interdisciplinary character of the Strategy and Policy Course requires that faculty members develop a breadth of knowledge well beyond their primary area of academic expertise.
