The Command and Staff College (Urdu: اادارہَِ سالاری و عمال عسکری) is the military staff college for the Pakistan Army and its sister services officers, and the international military officers.[1] Established in 1905 as Army Staff College in Deolali, it was later shifted to its present location in 1907 and has been an alma mater of many renowned international soldiers.[2][3][4]
Foundation of the staff college was felt when the former British Indian Army officers had to commit to a lengthy travel to the Great Britain to continue their graduate studies at the Staff College in Camberley but staff college was insufficient to provide accommodation due to increased enrollment.[4] With the reorganization of the British Indian Army, Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, then-Commander-in-Chief in India, exacerbated and proposed a similar staff college to be set-up in India which created more staff appointments.[4]
The Command and Staff College is the oldest and senior service college including the Navy's Naval War College and the Air Force's Air War College. In addition, the Pakistan's Ministry of Defense operates the Armed Forces War College at the National Defence University (NDU).[4]
