Popis: Much is happening in the field of international security, and in this article Lt Gen Rose examines how these changes are being reflected in teaching at the Staff College Camberley. For years the curriculum remained shack‐led to the doctrine of fortification, mathematics and riding, and, while the shape of post‐Second World War strategic thinking was determined by the development of nuclear weapons, operational doctrine remained confined to the demands of a ‘set‐piece’ battle. All, however, is changing. Not only have huge technological advances forced analysts to look beyond historical precedent, but reduced defence budgets and the sheer extent and diversity of today's security blackspots are encouraging more resourceful and conceptual thinking. The emphasis on learning at the Staff College falls beyond the class room to encompass all aspects of conflict and war, whether technological, ethical/legal, practical, humanitarian or command and control.
