It is based on the Joint Services Command and Staff College in Shrivenham, United Kingdom. Because of early cooperation with the British military, and the manner in which its curriculum was modelled on British curricula, the College has retained British military instructors to this day.[3]

It trains and educates officers from all military services and all nations in the Gulf Cooperation Council.

The College is named after Lieutenant General Mubarak Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Chief of General Staff of the Kuwait Armed Forces from 1963 to 1980.
