H. Cushman, Commander, US Army Combined Arms Center Fort Leavenworth was established and grew with the expansion of the West in the early 1800's. The Fort, with its traditions and contributions, has helped to mold the character and point the direction for countless military leaders of the United States and her Allies. As an observer you will see the United States Army Command and General Staff College, its students exposed to the latest thinking and finest instruction, and the Combined Arms Combat Developments Activity whose skilled and dedicated professionals perform the com- plex, challenging, and vital role in the development of tomorrow's Army. Yet, it is the entire Fort Leavenworth community that works together to accomplish its assigned missions. The US Army Medical Department Activity, the United States Disciplinary Barracks, and the Mid-West Telecommunications Center are all integral parts of the Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth. But most of all it is people, military and civilian, working in all Post activities to make individual and joint contributions to support a modern Army with worldwide commitments. As you visit, I welcome you to share with us your own expertise and to absorb the knowledge and history that is the Combined Arms Center. a H. CUSHMAN ajor General, USA Commanding Approved For Release 2003/05/08 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R002000130016-3 Approved For Release HISTORIC FORT LEAVENWORTH Fort Leavenworth was established on 8 May 1827 by Colonel Henry Leavenworth and 188 officers and men of the 3rd Infantry Regiment who had journeyed by keelboat up the Missouri River from Jefferson Barracks at St. Louis. Colonel Leavenworth was ordered by the War Department to establish a fort to protect the wagon trains proceeding to New Mexico along the Santa Fe Trail, and to maintain peace among the Indians. FORT LEAVENWORTH Approved For Release 2003/05/08 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R002000130016-3 The fort was to be located on the left, or east, bank of the Missouri within 20 miles of the mouth of the Little Platte River. Noting that the east bank of the river was low and marshy, Colo- nel Leavenworth chose instead to establish the fort atop the bluffs on the west bank. His decision was later approved by the War Department and the post was officially named Cantonment Leavenworth. In 1830 "Cantonment" was changed to "Fort." Fort Leavenworth became one of the principal outposts of United States authority in what was then considered to be the West. In the 1830's the Fort was the starting point for explora- tion parties and annual military expeditions to the Indian tribes. By the 1840's travel to California and Oregon had begun and thousands of wagons passed through the Post. The levee was busy with settlers and immigrants arriving for the great trek. Supplies to support the wagon trains and military expeditions came up the river in vast quantities. The Mexican War in 1846 made Fort Leavenworth an army headquarters. Several regiments were raised here to march over- land to battle in Mexico and California. During the Civil War, nearby Camp Lincoln mustered great numbers of volunteers into Union Service. In 1864 Fort Sully, a series of earthworks, was constructed on the hill overlooking the National Cemetery to protect the Post and its arsenal from an invading force under Confederate General Sterling Price. Price was turned back at the Battle of Westport, present Kansas City. Fort Leavenworth continued to play an important role as a headquarters and supply base during the Indian Wars which followed, and at one time General George Armstrong Custer dnd the Seventh US Cavalry were stationed here. The later history of the Fort revolves around the Command and General Staff College. As a major historical site Fort Leavenworth has seen many firsts-it is the first continuously occupied settlement in Kansas; the first regiment of US cavalry, the 1st Dragoons, was organized here in 1833; the first temporary capital of Kansas Territory was located here; Major Riley, the post commander in 1829 was the first to use oxen to haul wagons over long distances and set the pattern of immigration. The oldest existing house in Kansas is on the Post. And from here have gone soldiers to fight in eight wars.

The command ele- ments comprising the Center include the United States Army Command and General Staff College (USACGSC), the United States Army Combined Arms Combat Developments Activity (USACACDA), the United States Nuclear Agency (Fort Bliss) and Fort Leavenworth. The Commanding General of the Com- bined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth is also Commandant of the Command and General Staff College and Commander of the Combined Arms Combat Developments Activity. The Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth is respon- sible for curriculum and instructional consistency of the follow- ing schools in their functional areas and insures early integra- tion of doctrine into service school instruction: Air Defense Artillery, Armor, Aviation, Command and General Staff College, Engineer, Field Artillery, Infantry, Intelligence and Signal Schools, Institute for Military Assistance and Military Police. The center 'does not command these schools but rather monitors day-to-day working relationships in the combat developments area of the respective schools. The Combined Arms Center plays the lead role in synthesiz- ing the products of the two other functional centers, Logistics Center, Fort Lee, Virginia, and the Administration Center, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana. The collocation of the Combined Arms Combat Developments Activity and the senior tactical school, the Command and General Staff College, with the Com- bined Arms Center provides for maximum utilization of combat development resources.

Its program is designed to produce graduates who are competent military problem solvers. The emphasis is on career development for the officers' future duties as a senior commander or staff officer. The USACGSC was founded in 1881 as the School of Ap- plication for Infantry and Cavalry. In 1907, its title was changed to the Army School of the Line; in 1922, to the General Service Schools ; and in 1929, to the Command and General Staff School. Redesignated the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in 1947, the oldest of the Army's advanced schools is ac- tually the keystone of the Army educational system. It serves both as a reward and as a stepping stone for further advance- ment for all Army officers who, through their performance of duty, have clearly demonstrated their potential for assignment to high command or staff positions. The USACGSC is located in Bell Hall on historic Arsenal Hill at Fort Leavenworth, overlooking the Missouri River. The building contains 318,848 square feet of floor space designed in the shape of the figure four. It has five basic wings: a three- story office unit, an auditorium, two classroom wings, and a fa- cilities wing containing a smaller auditorium and a library. The basement contains additional offices, a cafeteria and Post Ex- change outlet, book store, small barber shop and instructional support facilities. The three-story office wing contains 215 offices of modern design, eight conference rooms, eight clerical rooms, and a 12-station language laboratory. The classroom wings contain a total of 24 classrooms accom- modating an average of 56 students each. Modern classroom fa- cilities and the latest in audio-visual aids permit great flexibility in teaching methods and presentation of instruction. Coordination of matters that affect all departments is achieved by normal coordination between departments, the staff, and the faculty board.

CACDA traces its origins to the USACDC Combined Arms Group which was established here in 1962. The present structure emerged on 1 March 1973. On that date, the Combined Arms Center (CAC) was established at Fort Leavenworth and CACDA was activated simultaneously as one of the Center's major activities. CACDA's task is to insure that the fighting man is provided with the best tactics, equipment and support that experience, in- telligence, and available resources can produce. CACDA devel- ops, coordinates and integrates combat developments actions for doctrine, organization and materiel pertaining to combat, com- bat support, and command and control systems of divisions and corps. In performing its mission, CACDA exercises operational control over the U.S. Army Nuclear Agency located at Fort Bliss, Texas. CACDA occupies Sheridan Hall, Grant Hall, part of Sher- man Hall, and three smaller buildings at Fort Leavenworth. The organization consists of four staff directorates and three sup- porting offices. US ARMY COMBINED ARMS M The Concepts and Force Design Directorate has the exper- tise for developing doctrinal concepts and force designs relating to separate brigades, divisions and corps. It is responsible for CACDA actions relating to the problem of airspace control, tac- tical cover and deception requirements, and all organizational requirements. Examples of studies undertaken by this Director- ate are the concept for a new Armored Division, evaluation of the triple capabilities of the 1st Cavalry Division, and develop- ment of doctrine and organization for tactical nuclear warfare. The Directorate of Combat and Combat Support Systems is responsible for the development of doctrinal concepts and mate- riel and organizational requirements for combat and combat sup- port units. These include divisional brigades and armor, infan- try, field artillery, aviation, air defense, engineer and military police elements of the Army. The Directorate insures that studies and materiel developments meet the requirements of the user in the field. Examples of actions undertaken in this Direc- torate include development of a Terminal Homing Weapons Pro- gram, the SAM-D Missile, the utility and attack helicopters, the main battle tank and the Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle.

E ~Ilfllll Approved For Release 2003/05/08 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R002000130016-3 US ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY MEDDAC consists of three distinct; activities: The Medical Ac- tivity; the Dental Activity; and the Veterinary Activity. MEDICAL ACTIVITY The Medical Activity is located in the United States Munson Army Hospital. It is the fourth hospital building at Fort Leaven- worth, Kansas; however, its organization represents a continua- tion of the original hospital which was the first hospital erected in the State of Kansas. US Munson Army Hospital was named in honor of BG Edward L. Munson, who served in the Army Medical Corps from 1893 to 1932. General Munson made two significant contributions to military medicine. First, while serv- ing as an instructor at Fort Leavenworth, he established the Medical Services and Correspondence School at this installation. This school was the forerunner of the present day Academy of Health Sciences, now located at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Sec- ond, he designed the Munson Medical Tent which was used for many years in support of combat forces. Munson Army Hospital has served the military community at Fort Leavenworth since March, 1961. Erected at a cost of $3 million, this medical facility is designed to provide a wide range of inpatient and outpatient care. Four medical wards with a combined capacity of 75 beds. provide treatment for patients requiring hospitalization. Two medical-surgical wards provide general medical care for non-critical patients. The cardiac and intensive care ward provides specialized care for critically ill and post operative patients. This ward is equipped with modern cardiac monitoring devices and resuscitative equipment. Plans are currently being developed to :modernize this ward. The maternity ward, which is equipped with two delivery rooms and a newborn nursery, provides specialized care for women and newborn infants. To improve patient comfort, all wards are equipped with two-way communications systems between rooms and nurses' stations, individual pillow speakers for radio listen- ing, and ceiling mounted television sets. Since construction of the original facility in 1961, Munson Army Hospital has experienced an increasing demand for out- patient services. To cope with this increasing demand, the out- patient facilities were enlarged in 1965. This $114,665 addition provided additional doctors' offices and treatment areas. To further augment its outpatient treatment capabilities, Munson Army Hospital is currently planning another expansion beginning in fiscal year 1975. Routine outpatient care is currently offered in the following specialties: general medicine, surgery, urology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, pediatrics, internal medicine, ear- nose-throat, ophthalmology, optometry, allergy and physical ther- apy. In addition, the fully equipped emergency room provides emergency outpatient care on a 24-hour basis. Approved For Release 2003/05/08 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R002000130016-3 Approved For Release 2003/05/08: CIA-RDP80R Munson Army Hospital also has the responsibility of pro- viding medical care for inmates of the US Disciplinary Bar- racks. For this reason, the hospital maintains a clinic inside the walls of the Disciplinary Barracks to provide routine outpatient care. Inmates requiring hospitalization are transferred to the small prison ward located in the hospital. Munson Army Hospital is proud of the skill and dedication of all the members of its health care team. In addition, the hospital is especially proud of its Red Cross Volunteer Service. Volunteers who participate in this program regularly provide valuable assistance to both patients and staff by serving as nursing assistants, laboratory assistants, and receptionists in the various clinics. 31 R002000130016-3 DENTAL ACTIVITY The Dental Activity provides dental care to all military per- sonnel stationed at Fort Leavenworth or assigned to the sur- rounding area. In addition, due to the designation of Fort Leavenworth by the Secretary of the Army as a remote area, dental care is also provided to eligible dependents of military personnel on a space available basis. The Dental Activity operates four dental clinics. The main clinic, the Thomas L. Smith Dental Clinic, is named in honor of Major General Thomas L. Smith, who served in the Army Dental Corps from 1916 to 1951. This clinic contains 12 operat- ing rooms, a prosthodontic laboratory, a diagnostic X-ray fa- cility, a conference room, a library, and an administration area. Dental Clinic #2, located in Munson Army Hospital, provides dental treatment for inpatients of the hospital and assigned personnel. Dental Clinic #3 is located in the US Disciplinary Barracks and provides dental care for inmates. Dental Clinic #4, located in the old hospital building, extends restorative and oral hygiene care as well as specialty care to orthodontic, perio- dontic, and pedodontic patients. The preventive dentistry section is also located in this 12-chair clinic.

Any care of privately- owned pets is directed toward the control of zoonotic and animal diseases on the reservation. This care includes mandatory pet registration and immunization, also parasite control, limited treatment of infectious diseases, and boarding. All care is provided on an appointment only basis, except for emergencies. For additional information call 684-4797. US DISCIPLINARY BARRACKS The US Disciplinary Barracks is located on the northern part of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and was first established as a military prison under the War Department in 1874. The build- ings used had _ formerly been the Quartermaster Depot which supplied all camps and posts in the West. The walled area, enclosing the principal facilities of the USDB, occupies 121/2 acres and is adjoined on the north by a 5-acre recreation field enclosed by a double cyclone fence. Inside the walled area there are buildings dating from 1840 to 1972. The main confinement building known locally as the "Castle" was built by prisoner labor and was completed in 1921. The wall varies in height from 15 to 41 feet, is 3,580 feet in length, and is constructed, of stone and cast concrete block. The stone portion. of the wall was completed in 1879 and the new wall which was built to enclose the area area occupied by the "Castle" was completed in 1921. Minimum custody prisoners are housed at the local parolee unit and at the 600-acre farm located a short distance from the main confinement facility. These facilities are used for the training and rehabilitation of military prisoners who live and Approved For Release 2003/05/08 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R002000130016-3 Approved For Release 2003/05/08 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R002000130016-3 Approved For Release 2003/05/08 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R002000130016-3 work, in an open setting, with a minimum of restrictions and supervision. In addition to offering academic courses to include college level classes, the USDB offers training in many vocational sub- jects among which are automatic data processing, auto body repair, small appliance repair, TV-radio repair, auto mechanics, barbering, farming, floriculture, machine shop, photo-tag, print- ing, shoe repair, furniture repair, sheet metal, upholstery, and wood-working. On-the-job training is also offered in carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, masonry, painting, dry cleaning, com- mercial laundry, food service, and tailoring. A staff trained in psychiatry, psychology, and social work offer extensive diagnostic and treatment services to inmates as required, including individual and group therapy programs. Con- sultation and training for other staff is also provided in order to help them deal more effectively with prisoners' problems. The primary mission of the USDB is to promote the refor- mation and rehabilitation of prisoners with a view to their honorable restoration to military duty or return to civilian life as useful citizens. This is accomplished through the diver- sified educational and vocational US Army Correctional Program. The USDB is the principal custodial and rehabilitation facility utilizing this correctional program which has long been recognized as one of the most enlightened and progressive penal systems in the United States. 111111 I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIilllllllllllll SID-WEST TELECOMMUNICATIONS MWTC CENTER The Mid-West Telecommunications Center (MWTC), an element of the Army's Strategic Communications Command, serves as an entry point to the worldwide Defense Communica- tions System (DCS). The Center provides secure voice, narrative message, punched card, and magnetic tape communications to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and also serves as a Central-CONUS DCS Entry Station providing Voice Frequency Telegraph Carrier facilities for vari- ous governmental agencies throughout Central United States. The Center operates "round the clock" with a staff of 35 mili- tary and civilian employees. The main building located on Biddle Boulevard houses tele- type and data terminal facilities, systems control, maintenance, and administrative offices. Auxiliary power generators of the station insure uninter- rupted service in the event of power failure. The Mid-West Telecommunications Center provides USA- STRATCOM and DCS with a versatile communications complex and adds significantly to the Army's global communications capa- bility and to the security of our country. Approved For Release 2003/05/08 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R002000130016-3 Approved For Release 2003/05/08: CIA-RDPP The outstanding collection of 19th century horse-drawn ve- hicles for which the Fort Leavenworth Museum has become famous was originated by the Fort Leavenworth Hunt Club in the 1920's. In 1937 application was made to the Secretary of War to establish the Museum as an official United States Army mu- seum, and approval was granted on 7 February 1938. During World War II the Museum was put on a standby basis. It was reopened in 1953 in a former stable building. In April 1959 the Museum was moved to its present location, Andrews Hall. Since then an active program has been underway to develop the mili- tary collections and exhibits, and to expand the Museum's public services. The vehicle collection is one of the most comprehensive of its kind in America. It includes vehicles of all types-military, family-type carriages, and wagons and coaches used for public transportation. Most prominent among the collections is the carriage used by Abraham Lincoln on his visit to Kansas in December 1859, an Abbott-Downing stagecoach (1838) and a Conestoga wagon (1790). The Von Schriltz collection of military miniatures, Regiments of the World, 1880-1914, is on exhibit in the entrance lobby of the Museum. Perfectly documented and acclaimed by international experts in the field of military costume, the finest details of regimental dress are exquisitely shown on each of the 4,500 miniatures in the colorful display. FORT LEAVENWORTH MUSEUM Uniforms and other examples of military dress and equip- ment of the United States Army officers and men from the earliest years through World War II are displayed in the main exhibit areas of the Museum building. Heavy Ordnance pieces on the Museum grounds date from 1826 to the contemporary Honest John rocket, and include a rare example of the German V-1 ramjet of World War II. In other areas on Post may be found four French cast bronze gun tubes of pre-American Revolutionary times, and four of the famed Civil War cast bronze "Napoleon" howitzers. Among Museum oriented activities for young people and adults are the Historical Society of Fort Leavenworth and the Musettes, Volunteers in Museum Service. Both are non-profit private associations of volunteer memberships, and are open to anyone who wishes to join. Other Museum sponsors include the Daughters of the United States Army, Fort Leavenworth Chap- ter, and the Officers' Wives Club of Fort Leavenworth. The generous continuing support of these groups has enabled expan- sion of the Museum's military collections and exhibits, and has substantially furthered Museum objectives in all areas. There is no charge for admittance to the Museum. Regular visiting hours are 1000 to 1600 hours, Monday through Saturday; 1200 to 1600 hours, Sundays and holidays. The Museum is closed New Year's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Children under 12 years of age are not admitted to the Museum unless accompanied by a responsible adult.

One a "soldiers' burying ground," was located near the present site of the Commanding General's quarters. Another, an "officers' burying ground," was located near the present site of Wagner Hall. During the period between 1858 and 1860, the "burying grounds" were discontinued as such and in 1861 E. T. Carr supervised the reinterment of the remains from the soldiers' "burying ground" while those from the officers' "burying ground" were not transferred until some years later. Located upon the Fort Leavenworth Military Reservation, the cemetery as first established contained 2 acres and 4 perches surrounded by a rough board fence and has grown to the present 36 acres. Though the original was enclosed with a stone wall and wrought iron fence only the south wall remains standing today. The first superintendent's lodge was built in 1874. It was de- stroyed by fire in 1904 and the present lodge was erected where it now stands in 1905. The gun monuments which originally stood planted in large stone blocks within nearly circular recesses on the east and west sides of the cemetery have been removed and are now mounted in front of the Fort Leavenworth Museum. After the Civil War, the remains of Union soldiers were transferred to the National Cemetery from cemeteries in St. Joseph, Kansas City, old Independence, Missouri, as well as from the cemetery on the arsenal grounds at Fort Leavenworth. By 1870 the remains of more than 1,200 Union soldiers had been interred at the National Cemetery. Reinterments from many of the old abandoned post cemeteries were accomplished over the years, such as Fort Hays, Kansas, Fort Niobrara, Nebraska, Old Fort Lyon, Colorado, to name just a very few. In 1902 the remains of General Henry Leavenworth were brought to the Fort from Delhi, New York, his boyhood home. The reinterment in the National Cemetery on Memorial Day was the occasion for the unveiling of the Leavenworth monument purchased from funds raised by public subscription. 4 July 1956 saw a rededicating service held and a time capsule was placed in the monument after which a granite eagle was placed atop the marker and it stands thus today. Among other monuments in this cemetery are those of four officers of the 7th Cavalry, including Captain Tom Custer, brother of General George Custer, who were killed in the famous Battle of the Little Big Horn River. Originally five officers were rein- terred here but in 1909 Lt. McIntosh was removed and now lies at rest in Arlington. There are over 14,700 graves in the cemetery, many dating back to the Indian Wars. The remains of soldiers who fought in the War of 1812; Mexican, Civil, Spanish, Philippine Wars; both World Wars; the Korean War and at present 101 men who gave their lives for our current freedoms in the struggle in Viet- nam lie at rest here along with those who died in the vicinity of the Fort and others brought in from the plains along the Approved For Release 2003/05/08 : CIA-RDP80R01731 R002000130016-3 Approved For Release 2003/05/08 : CIA-RDP8W201731 R002000130016-3 Santa Fe and Oregon rails. While known heroes are recorded by name some 1,500 men cannot be overlooked in nameless graves marked "Unknown," for they, too, left their mark in the history of Fort Leavenworth even though their names are known but to God. The oldest military grave is that of Captain James Allen, whose remains were interred in 1846 and brought to the present site from the old "burial ground." Other notables are Generals Hatch, Bell, Carr, Beach, and Hunt. The Indian also found a resting place here as well, as is shown by the grave of Shango Hango, Private, 16th Kansas Vol Cav. John Urquhart, one of the soldiers who fought in the first battle of the Civil War at Fort Sumpter is buried here as are seven confederate soldiers killed in the Battle of Westport (now Kansas City).

In 1958, an average of 31 landings and takeoffs were accomplished daily. In FY 72 the daily average had increased to more than 250. This gain illustrates the increased emphasis on Army Avia- tion and the important contribution the airfield is making in support of the Combined Arms Center, and entire community of Leavenworth. This airfield, established in 1923 under the jurisdiction of the US Disciplinary Barracks, was at first intended to be only an emergency airstrip-an "alfalfa" surface just 1,800 feet long. Three years later, when the field was, placed under the Command and General Staff College, a corrugated steel hangar had been constructed, and the original strip had been enlarged to provide 1,800-foot runways in any direction. In 1936 the airfield was named in honor of Major William C. Sherman (killed in a plane crash in 1927), who was an Air Corps instructor at the Command School. In 1960 a 5,900-foot asphalt runway and a 5,400-foot cinder runway were constructed which have provided the primary landing areas to this time. Since its inception, the primary mission of Sherman Field has been to provide administrative air transportation for the Post, College, and all tenant units, and to provide facilities and equipment for the accomplishment of combat readiness flying requirements by all assigned and attached aviators. The Army Aviation Division's aircraft resources are a combination of twin-engine, fixed-wing command aircraft, single- engine, fixed-wing aircraft, and observation type helicopters, which provide the flexibility necessary to accomplish the diverse and complex missions. The field is not restricted to purely military traffic. The city of Leavenworth, through a lease agreement, utilizes a part of the field for general aviation aircraft. Also, the Fort Leavenworth Flying Club, consisting of eligible military personnel, their de- pendents, and civilian employees, utilizes a portion of the field to park its aircraft and conduct meetings. This club has no official connection with the military aviation activities of Sherman Army Airfield, and it is organized solely for the purpose of stimulating interest in aviation and to provide members the opportunity to engage in flying as a recreational activity.
