don’t worry, all we need to win is the kind of warrior mentality displayed by the armed forces of the russian federation before their successful invasion of ukraine
So the Fort Belvoir campus is not all of the CGSC (which is actually centered in Leavenworth) but my understanding is it is a big part of it & if similar cuts are coming for all PME (professional military education), the results will be very bad for both military readiness & military history.

Ukraine isn’t doomed to lose the war, says NATO Europe commander Christopher Cavoli. He told a U.S. Senate hearing that nothing in war is inevitable, Ukraine holds strong defenses, and while a major offensive is hard to imagine, defeat is unlikely as its forces become a serious modern army.
