Maritime Advanced Warfighting School (MAWS).

The course is an intensive, immersive 13-month program, which runs concurrently with the Naval War College's Naval Command and Staff College graduate education. Graduates are prepared to fill key warfare and joint leadership positions throughout their careers.
