A group research study that concentrated on the Command and Staff Course of the Naval War College and addressed two questions: (1) What should the product of the School of Naval Command and Staff be in terms of acquired skills and knowledge; and (2) How many graduates having the aforementioned skills and knowledge are required annually? The purpose of this study was to identify the product of the Naval Command and Staff school and conduct a billet analysis to determine Navy requirements for graduates in order to provide a basis for a critical analysis of the school and its curriculum to produce the necessary graduates in sufficient quantity and quality to satisfy the Navy's requirements.

The Manley O. Hudson Papers document the professional activities and interests of a prominent international lawyer during the last ten years of his career. The papers include background materials on several important legal cases with which he was involved as a consultant. They also contain materials relating to his tenure as a professor of international law at the Naval War College.

The collection falls naturally into three well-defined series: Legal Case Files, Subject Files and Miscellany. The Legal Case Files consist of correspondence, briefs, motions, reports, compilations of laws and published articles regarding the California Tidelands Case (1941-1952), which was argued before the Supreme Court, the formulation of a United States Oil Policy during World War II, and the Anglo-Egyptian dispute (1947) concerning the purported violation of Egypt's sovereignty by Great Britain, which ultimately went before the United Nations Security Council. The Subject Files portion of the collection contains correspondence, memoranda, notes and official organizational reports regarding the publication of the seventh volume of International Legislation and the study of international law at the Naval War College. The third series, Miscellany, consists of career-related ephemera, including newspaper clippings, programs and photocopies of articles.

The whole course was divided into two series, the first being, "The Strategic Features of the Caribbean" and the second series was devoted to "Some Considerations of the Art of War, Naval and Land, with Illustrations from Bonaparte's Italian Campaign of 1796-1797."
