The Grand Strategy Field Study AIAD experience is designed to give cadets practical experience in this field of study and to reflect on their experiences by completing specified academic requirements. Scope, depth and material covered will meet the requirement of a 3-credit hour course in the Grand Strategy Program. Grades are determined based on preparatory briefings and essays, a journal of daily activities, the quality of the work performed during the internship, and a final paper, briefing, or exam that incorporates their experience with a topic from their field of study, due upon return.
