History
In 1976, the Industrial College of the Armed Forces and the National War College were brought into one joint educational institution when the National Defense University became a historic pooling of the defense community's intellectual resources. They were joined in 1981 by JFSC and in 1982 by the Department of Defense Computer Institute (DODCI). In 1988, DODCI was re-established and changed and became what is now the Information Resources Management College, commonly referred to as the iCollege (after a 2008 rebranding).
