The Military and the Media: Improving Education and Training at Command and Staff College

Abstract

This thesis paper has been prepared to state the need for implementation of a media relations course into the CSC curriculum to secure the success of future military campaigns. The media, which stands between the information and the delivery, serves as a challenge to the military in shaping the battlefield. If media is considered the new weapon of war in the military operations environment, why isn't it trained to just as the Marines train to their credo of every Marine a rifleman? The current operations environment calls for the Marine Corps Command and Staff College to implement a media relations course into its curriculum to secure the success of future military campaigns.
