Background
Created as the Royal Canadian Air Force War Staff College in 1943, the Canadian Forces College has undergone several stages of reorganization that reflect the evolution of the professional development of military officers.

Over the years, the curricula and the methods through which programmes are delivered have matured to the point of meeting the current needs and, in some instances, anticipating the future requirements, of the officer corps. Today, the College is undeniably the cornerstone in the development of the Canadian Forces’ senior officer cadre. In the future, the College will be transformed so that it can continue to meet the requirements of the Canadian Forces.
