2013 Philadelphia Mint (P), West Point Mint (W), and San Francisco Mint (S) 5-Star General Commemorative 3 Coin Set in Original Government Packaging (OGP)

Established in 1881, the United States Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) has played a decisive role in the education and training of officers in times of war and peace. It has had a profound effect on many fields of battle by providing its students the required skills of battle management, leadership development, and the most modern and effective command and staff action procedures. All of these have been key to our Nation’s success in its many military conflicts, which have helped preserve our freedoms and way of life. The CGSC is the country’s oldest and largest military staff college.
