I think they got the name wrong. Now GEN William Wallace and current TRADOC commander was then LTG William Wallace and CAC Commander.

But the topics list is a good idea, especially if it is used as a guide and not a prescription. I sat on MMAS boards for 3 years as a history faculty member, completed an MMAS as a student, and have sat on commitees long distance in this job.

I also tell every officer headed toward Leavenworth to seize the opportunity to earn a Masters via this program. So if you read this post and you have this opportunity, take it in hand!
