Description

Officially Licensed USMC University Advanced Warfighting Sticker — Where the Marine Corps Sends Its Best Minds to Think Harder

If TBS teaches lieutenants how to fight, the School of Advanced Warfighting teaches colonels how to win.

The School of Advanced Warfighting (SAW) is the Marine Corps’ premier graduate-level military education program, housed within Marine Corps University at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. SAW is an intensive, year-long program that selects a small cohort of the Marine Corps’ top-performing lieutenant colonels and colonels — along with select joint and international officers — and immerses them in the study of operational art, campaign design, and strategic-level military planning. Established to develop the critical and creative thinking skills required of senior warfighters and planners, SAW goes far beyond the tactical focus of earlier career schools. Students study military history, strategic theory, joint operations planning, interagency coordination, and the complex challenges of modern warfare — from great power competition to hybrid threats to expeditionary operations in the Indo-Pacific. Graduates of SAW go on to serve in the highest-level planning and command billets in the Marine Corps and across the joint force, including positions at combatant commands, the Joint Staff, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Marine Corps University itself is one of the Department of Defense’s premier professional military education institutions, encompassing Command and Staff College, the Expeditionary Warfare School, and SAW — all located at Quantico, the ‘Crossroads of the Marine Corps.’ This sticker represents the pinnacle of Marine Corps professional military education — the school that shapes the operational thinkers who design campaigns and win wars.

Perfect For: SAW graduates and faculty, Marine Corps University staff and students, Command and Staff College alumni, MCB Quantico personnel, and anyone who values the intellectual edge that wins at the operational and strategic level.
