CIA GRADUATES OF THE NATIONAL WAR COLLEGE
(1949 - 1964)
BACKGROUND
The National War College was established in 1946 to assist in preparing
career officers in the military services and the State Department for posi-
tions of broad responsibility in their respective departments. From the out-
set, however, the student body (of about 130 a year) has also included a few
representatives of other agencies such as NSA, Cacmnerce, BOB, etc. CIA ob-
tained permission for one of its officers to attend in 1948 and has had an
established quote since that time. In 1951 the quota was not at 3 per year
where it still remains despite several attempts to increase it slightly.
Admission requirements at NK call for candidates between 35-45 years of
age who have a college degree or its equivalent and hold the grade of GS-14
or higher. (in practice, CIA generally considers only candidates GS-15 or
higher because military participants are very rarely below the rank of full
Colonel.) The course is for 10 months, beginning each August.
25X1
While there have been was noticeable differences in the rate of advance-
ment among graduates follbVing their attendance at NWC, the group as a whole
appear to have been generally well selected. Only one obvious exception ap-

Clearly, the DDI has been the most aggressive Directorate in taking ad-
vantage of NWC, both in the numbers of students sponsored and also in their
competitive selection. DDS has sent the fewest students, preferring to make
relatively greater use of other senior schools..
