The Simons Center for the Study of Interagency Cooperation
The Col. Arthur D. Simons Center for the Study of Interagency Cooperation is a research, analysis, studies and publication center focused on interagency issues at the tactical and operational levels of war.
The Center is funded by the CGSC Foundation providing direct support to the Command and General Staff College. The Center capitalizes on the development of the Counterinsurgency and Stability Operations doctrinal manuals developed at the Combined Arms Center and supports the interagency dialogue between the Army and other federal departments and agencies. The Center also provides research capability to CGSC and other institutions with respect to operational and tactical interagency issues.
The Center opened its doors on Fort Leavenworth, April 21, 2010, with a grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting. (read the press release) Mr. Ross Perot, who donated the funds to support the Center, was on hand for the ribbon cutting.
The Mission of the Center
- To foster and develop an interagency body of knowledge to enhance education at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College while facilitating broader and more effective cooperation within the United States Government at the operational and tactical levels through study, research, analysis, publication and outreach.
- Promote awareness of and engagement with the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College; sponsor discourse; inform doctrine; educate; and promote development of leaders.
Operations
The Center operates over several lines of effort (Governance, Research and Studies, Engagements and Strategic Communication) in order to conduct research, frame ideas and foster relationships. The Simons Center publishes its primary publication, the InterAgency Journal, a periodic series titled InterAgency Papers, and a periodic essay series titled InterAgency Essays. The Simons Center also publishes books, specials studies, and other materials as the need arises.
The Center is supported by an Advisory Council consisting of representatives from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, the CGSC Foundation, other academic institutions and senior civil servants from within the federal government other than the Department of Defense.
