Navy Lt. Ryan P. Anderson has reported to the College of Naval Command and Staff at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I. At the college, the student will attend a multidisciplinary program designed for U.S. Naval and Coast Guard officers in the grade of lieutenant commander; U.S. Marine Corps, Army and Air Force officers in the grade of major, and civilians of equivalent seniority from various federal agencies.
This intermediate-level course provides a professional military education program wherein students prepare for increased responsibilities as commanders/lieutenant colonels and as junior captains/colonels. Military students are selected to attend the College of Naval Command and Staff by their respective services.
The college curriculum is based upon three core courses of study, which include Strategy and Policy, National Security Decision Making, Joint Maritime Operations and an electives program. The courses in these four areas are designed to provide depth and perspective to the study of conflict, its causes and resolution.
He is the son of Keith and Cathy Anderson of Ulster Park, N.Y.
