About the Course

The Eisenhower School is a college under the Department of Defense's National Defense University. The mission of ES is to prepare military officers and civilians for senior leadership and staff positions by conducting postgraduate, executive-level courses of study and associated research dealing with the resource component of national power, with special emphasis on material acquisition and joint logistics, and their integration into national security strategy for peace and war.
