 After Desert Storm , the army struggled with military operations other than war , such as peacekeeping and peace enforcement operations . The school and its graduates examined the situations in Bosnia , Haiti , and Somalia . Graduates also participated in Defense Support of Civil authorities missions . The course continued to change in the 1990s . Under Colonel Gregory Fontenot , the school moved from Fort Leavenworth 's Flint Hall to Eisenhower Hall in October 1994 . In later years , the school 's leadership expanded the number of seminars and the civilian faculty . The military continues to draw heavily on SAMS in the twenty @-@ first century . SAMS planners have played a significant role in the Global War on Terror . Beginning in 2002 , the United States Central Command requested planners from SAMS and its sister schools , the United States Air Force 's School of Advanced Air and Space Studies ( <unk> ) , which was designed to be similar to SAMS , and the United States Marine Corps 's School of Advanced Warfighting ( SAW ) . SAMS students from the 2002 and 2003 classes participated as planners in the preparations for the invasion of Iraq and the plan for the post @-@ combat occupation .
