United States Army School of Advanced Military Studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Located at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, the United States Army's School for Advanced Military Studies is both a training ground and a think tank for some of the Army's brightest officers. Officials say the Army chief of staff, and sometimes the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ask SAMS to develop contingency plans for future military operations. During the 1991 Persian Gulf War, SAMS personnel helped plan the coalition ground attack that avoided a strike up the middle of Iraqi positions and instead executed a "left hook" that routed the Iraqi Army in 100 hours.
