MCCC's mission is to prepare students for the leadership, training, and administrative requirements of a successful company commander and for the execution of the tactical planning responsibilities of Battalion S3s.

With the U.S. Congress' mandated Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) reorganization of the Department of Defense in 2005, the infantry and armor schools were directed to partially merge.

In the small group setting, students prepare and brief five company-level operations orders, with scenarios drawn from infantry, Stryker, and heavy brigade combat teams.

The last brief, known as Battle Forge, is the culmination of the company operations order training; a passing grade is required to move on to the next phase of the course.

Assigned practical exercises and operations orders, students collaborate as a member of a scenario-based staff, rotating through different positions (S-1, S-2, S-3, etc.)

The goal of this program is to encourage foreign and U.S. officers to learn from one another, building mutual respect, trust, and understanding among allied armies.

[7] To mitigate the language, cultural, and doctrinal difficulties these officers face, the MCoE offers a mandatory 20-day preparatory course for foreign students about to attend MCCC.
