Abstract:
U.S. Army field grade officers who had attended two military schools evaluated two learning environments. For a majority of variables studied, the subjects reported higher satisfaction with institutional support at Fort Leavenworth as opposed to the other site. Satisfaction with that institutional report was strongly related to satisfaction with lodging used (hotels), quality of instruction, and the culture of an active duty installation. Most of the subjects (72-82%) expressed a preference for attending the Command and General Staff College course at Fort Leavenworth, if given a choice.
