A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
The constant flux on the world's political scene
and the rapidity and number of scientific developments
applicable to naval warfare make mandatory the ever-
greater and ever-closer cooperation between our
civilian and naval leaders. Your presence at these
discussions will give the Navy the benefit of judgment
and experience that is highly valued and genuinely
appreciated.
During these discussions, it must be remembered
that our Navy has crossed the threshold into a new era
of naval warfare. Today the Navy is assimilating
nuclear power as rapidly as possible; our naval forces
are being equipped with atomic weapons of all kinds
replacing gunpowder weapons; we are operating jet
aircraft of super-sonic performance instead of propel-
ler driven aircraft. And we are converting to missiles
instead of guns. New naval weapons systems, such as
the jet powered seaplane and the marriage of the
missile and the submarine are in existence today and
are being further perfected. All these things have
come about in a single decade.
These tremendous changes, increasing the power
which can be projected from the sea a hundred-thousand
fold, have given our Navy a responsibility far more
important than it has ever had before.
Thus, it is the Navy's task to correlate closely
new weapons and techniques to both our naval strategy
and the over-all national strategy in such a manner
as to best carry out the Navy's vital missions.
Your attendance will help us in this task.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT, NAVAL WAR COLLEGE
Under our American system of government, the
armed forces must always operate within a broad
policy framework established by our civilian leaders--
the President and Congress. In order that such a
policy may be intelligently formulated, and be effec-
tive in the national interest, military leaders must
be prepared to give sound advice on matters falling
within their field of interest and action.
This is no easy matter today. Rapid technolog-
ical changes have made warfare itself an increasingly
complex art, and, in addition, those in or destined
for positions of high command must meet and satisfy a
great number of new requirements which have been
generated by interrelated developments in the social,
political, and economic spheres. The military leader
of today and of the future must have a realistic
appreciation of the heavy responsibilities placed
upon our country by its power and the world wide in-
fluence which it exerts, and he must be able to
appreciate their impact upon our over-all strategy.
Under our democratic system, which emphasizes the
dignity and worth of the individual, every American
shares in some measure the responsibility of formulat-
ing effective foreign and military pblicies which will
not only contribute to the national security of the
United States, but which will also measure, up to our
international responsibilities. To play our in-
dividual parts intelligently, we must endeavor to
broaden our fund of knowledge of the many factors
which bear upon the problem and clarify our thinking
on the essential points involved in this many-sided
problem. This, in short, is the purpose of the annual
Global Strategy Discussions sponsored by the United
States Naval 'War College.
The Eighth Annual Global Strategy Discussions
will be the last scheduled curriculum activity of the
academic year. They will consist of a series of round
table discussions in which prominent civilian guests,
Senior Reserve Officers and certain high ranking

Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/02 :
CIA-RDP80M01009A001402450025-7
visiting officers of the Armed Services are integrated
into groups with all the students of the College. In
the discussion groups there is complete freedom to
express individual viewpoints and to hear diverse
opinions while objectively examining some of the
problems that must be faced by our nation.
Past experience has proven that the views of
civilian guests, which reflect extensive experience
in a wide variety of fields, illuminate and leaven
the thinking of the military students. Then, too,
guests attending the Global Strategy Discussions
obtain more comprehensive appreciation of Naval and
other military problems, and of many other factors
of national power. They are thus aided in the forming
of their own concepts of a Global Strategy and in
better exercising their responsibilities as American
citizens.

METHOD
The participants will be divided into small dis-
cussion groups. Each group will consist of resident
student officers, Senior Reserve Officers, civilian
and military guests. Each group will represent as wide
a civilian background and military experience as
possible. The moderator for each group will be a
Naval War College student officer'.
Participants will be offered a selected bibliog-
raphy to develop background for the discussions. The
lectures will present the broader aspects of the
various phases of national strategy.
Group discussions Will be held to examine in de-
tail the basic factors affecting the world situation,
the factors influencing strategy making, the national
objectives of the United States, and the possible courses
of action by which those objectives may be attained.
A plenary session wilt be conducted on the last
day to further explore areas of common or unusual
interest, to present concepts developed by the various
groups, to allow expression of divergent points of
view, and to exchange ideas among the. participants.
SECURITY
In accordance with the established policy of the
Naval War College, the statements of speakers and of
discussion participants will be accorded s-crupulous
privacy. This protection is expected to result, as it
has in the past, in giving all participants the
benefit of educated opinions frankly expressed.
Most lectures, printed matter and discussion
comments occurring during the Global Strategy Dis-
cussions will be in the category of security informa-
tion, which means that disclosure to an unauthorized
individual or government would be potentially adverse
to the national security of the United States. Secu-
rity measures will be announced on the opening day of
the discussions.

"THE BREAKERS"
"The Breakers" is the Cornelius Vanderbilt
estate. It is believed to be the most expensive
private home in North America and is an outstand-
ing example in Newport of the competition between
wealthy residents in the building of luxurious
homes. All of the original furnishings are still
in "The Breakers". The property is presently
leased to the Preservation Society of Newport
which conducts tours through it for a fee. If
there is sufficient interest among participants,
special tours will be arranged.
COLONIAL NEWPORT
Reflecting early aspects of Newport, cul-
turally, historically and economically, are:
Trinity Church, at Church and Spring Streets,
built in 1725, with an interior that is an
architectural masterpiece; The Brick Market,
southwest corner of Thames Street and Long 'Wharf,
built in 1726, the public market of colonial
Newport and once used as City Hall; Old Colony
House, or State House, dating from 1739 and fac-
ing Washington Square; the Vernon House, 1756,
Mary and Clarke Streets, used by Count, de Rocham-
beau during the French Occupation; Hunter House,
1757, at 62 Washington Street, one of the best
Georgian examples in America; and the Temple
Jeshuat Israel, Touro Street, oldest synagogue in
America. (The congregation wasP formed in 1658 and
the Synagogue built in 1763. The interior is a
unique example of Colonial beauty.)
Other points of interest will be found on a
map which will be available to you at the Global
Strategy Discussions Information Office. In-
cidentally, the Flks Clubhouse, 141 Pelham
Street, was used by the U.S. Naval Academy during
the War between the States when the Midshipmen
evacuated Annapolis, Maryland, temporarily.

NEARBY HISTORIC PLACES
Motor tours to various historic points are
easily made from Newport. Plymouth Rock, inter-
nationally known, at Plymouth, Massachusetts, is
reached over a well-marked road from New Bedford,
Massachusetts, gateway to Cape Cod, and home of a
most interesting whaling museum. New Bedford is
but thirty miles away, or about the same distance
as Providence, Rhode Island. Closer at hand is
Fall River, Massachusetts and smaller New England
towns. Boston, Massachusetts, with its many
points of interest, is sixty-two miles from
Newport, the usual route being through Fall
River.

HISTORY OF
THE U.S. NAVAL WAR COLLEGE
Established in 1884, at Newport, Rhode Island,
the U.S. Naval War College was the first of its kind
in the nation. It has functioned continuously since,
except for brief periods during the Spanish-American
War and World War I.
The College, since its inception, has pursued its
continuing mission of the preparation of naval of-
ficers for higher command, and has achieved a position
of authority in the field of education relating to the
art and science of naval warfare. Its importance, with
the complexity of modern warfare, is more apparent
today than it was when the Secretary of the Navy, at
the time of its founding, wrote Congress: "the arts of
naval warfare had become so complicated that some
provision was necessary to acquaint senior officers
with the best thought on these confusing subjects."
The primary mission of the College, governing all
of its curricula, is "to further an understanding of
the fundamentals of warfare, international relations,
and interservice operations, with emphasis on their
application to future naval warfare in order to pre-
pare officers for higher command." Necessarily, in
executing its mission the Naval War College curriculum
has undergone constant change in response to the
changing responsibilities and educational requirements
of the naval commander.
World War II and its aftermath resulted in un-
usually great changes in the educational requirements
for high command. Added to the increased technological
complexity of warfare were requirements for commanders
to have a keen understanding of the political, social,
and economic factors conditioning national and supra-
national military planning. Peacetime coalition plan-
ning for world conditions of varying tensions from
relative peace to nuclear war, tremendously widened
the field to be studied. The demand for curriculum

Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/04/02 :
CIA-RDP80M01009A001402450025-7
time led to the establishment of two courses in
Naval Warfare, each of one-year length. The need
for a period to synthesize the knowledge gained from
studies, in full consideration of the views of re-
spected civilian leaders, resulted in the Global
Strategy Discussions, which, since 1949, have been
the climactic event to the academic year.
Understanding of the many problems entering into
consideration of the causes of war, and of the com-
plexities of modern warfare, is stimulated at the
College by the fact that in both staff and student
groups are officers of the Marine Corps, Army, Air
Force and Coast Guard in addition to those of the
Navy. The State Department and other governmental
agencies are also represented in the college per-
sonnel.
Many distinguished officers have served as
President of the Naval War College. -They have in-
cluded Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce, its first pres-
ident; Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, who achieved
international renown through his expressed views on
sea power; Rear Admiral William S. Sims, and Admiral
Raymond- A. Spruance. Continued effort by them and
their successors has resulted in the College attaining
a position which it now maintains at the apex of the
Navy's higher educational system.
Distinguished graduates of the Naval War College
include Fleet Admirals King, Halsey and Nimitz, in
addition to many others who are today holding posi-
tions of prominence in the service.
