The Warfighting Studies Program is a two-term Elective that satisfies the student requirement to take two “warfighting” Elective Courses.  

Many WSP Campaign Analyses are derived from student SRPs. Recent examples include: Anzio, Battle of the Bulge, Dien Bien Phu, Gallipoli, Kursk, Pusan Perimeter, Second Punic War, Spanish Civil War and Strategic Use of Civil War Railroads.  

Some potential topics for this AY:  
    - Breitenfeld, 1531: Evolution of Combined Arms
    - Seven Years War, 1756-63: First Global Conflict
    - Yorktown, 1781: Success for Combined Operations
    - Vicksburg-Chattanooga, 1863: Grant as a Logistician
    - The Crater, 1864 – Messines Ridge, 1917: Offensive Mine Warfare; Failure and Success
    - Tannenberg, 1914: Intelligence Breakthrough via Radio Intercept
