BACKGROUND ON CNWS
In 1981, almost a century after Stephen B. Luce founded the Naval War College as "a place of original research on all questions relating to war and to statesmanship connected with war, or the prevention of war," the Center for Naval Warfare Studies was established within the College as a nexus for broadly based, advanced research on the naval contribution to a national strategy. Working in close conjunction with the teaching departments, this revitalized research arm of the College has thus fulfilled Luce's vision of the institution as a center of both scholarship and original research--an academic establishment which would serve as the home of theory and in-depth thinking for the naval profession in the United States.
The Center directly complements the curriculum at the Naval War College by providing a place for researching important professional issues which, in turn, inform and stimulate the faculty and students in the classroom. Moreover, from its very beginning, the Center has linked the Naval War College to the fleet and policymakers in Washington by serving as a focal point, stimulus, and major source of strategic and campaign thought, by integrating strategic, campaign, and tactical concepts, by linking strategic concerns with technological developments, and finally, by testing and evaluating concepts through war gaming.
ORGANIZATION
The
Dean of Naval Warfare Studies oversees the efforts of a full-time, government-funded research staff organized into six departments within the Center:
Strategic Research Department,
War Gaming Department,
Maritime History Department,
International Law Department,
Naval War College Press, and
Warfare Analysis and Research Department.Within the Strategic Research Department, the
Chinese Maritime Studies Institute studies Chinese maritime developments.
Within the Warfare Analysis and Research Department, the Halseys and Mahan groups are student directed research groups. Finally, we also have two detachments that provide support to NWC that are administratively attached to CNWS.The Office of Naval Intelligence Detachment provides intelligence support and Naval Meteorological Professional Development Detachment provides meteorological information and instruction.
