Located at the entrance to the Urak valley near Quetta, the Command and Staff College was moved from Deolali (near Mumbai) to Quetta in 1907.
The building survived the devastating earthquake in 1935 without major damage, but parts of it were rebuilt and made earthquake proof in 1936. The classic building was razed in 1971 and replaced with a modern structure.
Among its notable alumni are field marshals Archibald Wavell, Bernard Montgomery, Claude Auchinleck and William Slim of UK, Thomas Blamey of Australia, and Sam Manekshaw and KM Cariappa of India.
