International Military Officer Sponsorship

Activity Lead: Mike Curci

 

The Leavenworth area community is unique from many communities in that each year Fort Leavenworth hosts International Officers from over 70 countries who come to live in our community and attend the U.S. Army's Command and General Staff College for nine months. The club hosts all 91 international army officers, from 79 countries...3 to 5 at a time, at club meetings. Club 1621 members hope that when these officers return to their respective countries, our impact will remain with them and be shared with their countrymen.
