SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. – Gen. William M. Fraser III, commander, U.S. Transportation Command, welcomed a group of CAPSTONE participants to the command, Feb. 8.

CAPSTONE is an intensive five-week course for newly selected general and flag officers.  It consists of seminars, case studies, informal discussions, visits to key U.S. military commands within the continental United States, and overseas trips to Europe, the Pacific, and the Western Hemisphere.

Overseas field studies involve interactions with combatant commanders of U.S. unified commands, American ambassadors, embassy staffs, senior political and military leaders of foreign governments.

The course objective is to make these individuals more effective in planning and employing U.S. forces in joint and combined operations.

The CAPSTONE curriculum examines major issues affecting national security decision making, military strategy, joint/combined doctrine, interoperability, and key allied nation issues.
