Lewis and Clark Center

In 2007, the U.S. Army dedicated its new home to the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, the Lewis and Clark Center. Fort Leavenworth's Command and General Staff College has been in existence since 1881, educating officers such as General Dwight D. Eisenhower, General George C. Marshall and General Douglas MacArthur.

This educational institution on Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, serves the U.S. Army's mid-grade level officers. Its core program, Intermediate Level Education, has roughly 1,500 students who attend classes for 10 months. In addition to U.S. Army, sister services from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marines, Coast Guard and civilian programs such as Homeland Security have students here. More than 100 countries sent military officers to attend. 

The Lewis and Clark Center features a gallery of U.S. Presidential portraits, a hall of former students who have gone onto success and named to the Fort Leavenworth Hall of Fame and a gallery of well-known international students who  have furthered their careers as well, the International Hall of Fame, which includes international military officers who have gone on to lead their nation's military or even become heads of state.

Other sights to see at the Lewis and Clark Center include custom stained-glass windows featuring military and patriotic scenes that span the length of the three-floor building. Gifts from International Military Students display ancient uniforms and military artifacts from around the world on display.
