    The aim of the ACSC is to prepare selected officers for high-grade joint and single Service appointments by developing their command, analytical and communications skills and by providing a broad understanding and knowledge of joint, single-Service and combined operations, and of defence as a whole. The Course addresses a wide spectrum of military, political and international issues and is principally concerned with the conceptual basis of capability, its development and subsequent employment. Throughout, the Course employs a number of linked modules of study to address the following 4 questions: How does the World work? What military capability do we have at our disposal? How do we create the required capability? How do we employ military capability? The ACSC is internationally recognised as being equivalent in status to the courses run at the Collège Interarmées de Défense (CID) in Paris, the Lehrgang Generalstabs-Admiralstabsdienst National (LGAN) at the German Führungsakademie der Bundeswehr (FüAkBw) in Hamburg, and to the 3 United States Single Service command and staff training courses.
