Since its establishment in 1930 the Irish Military College has had
a vital influence on not only the Defence Forces but on the nation.
It has formed all of the nation's commissioned officers, many of
whom have achieved distinction both within and outside of the
Defence Forces. The story of this relatively unknown national
institution is intriguing as it has attempted to fulfill the roles
laid down for it in 1923 in training and instructing officers and
officer candidates. The task has not been easy, as the Military
College has inevitably been subject to the many changes and
fluctuations in the duties, roles and fortunes of the wider Defence
Forces. In this book Colonel Tom Hodson, a former instructor in the
Military College and a graduate of Ecole de Guerre, Paris, charts
its history. He recounts how from its early predecessor, the Army
School of Instruction, the Military College has repeatedly
re-invented itself, culminating in the requirement for today's
modern institution to embrace and impart instruction based on the
needs of the Irish Defence Forces and the procedures of European
and NATO armies.
