High-resolution X-ray observations of young massive stars and their surrounding clusters are yielding new insights into the star formation process. We request two 40-ks ACIS-I pointings in NGC 6357, a nearby massive star-forming complex comprised of a "cluster of clusters" that may be an OB association in the making. We will identify the source(s) of mysterious hard X-ray emission in component G353.2+0.7, study the massive stars and the high-luminosity tail of the pre-main sequence stellar population in the rich cluster in component G353.1+0.6, and characterize diffuse X-rays tracing wind-shocked plasma and filling many of the complex overlapping bubbles that are carving up NGC 6357's natal giant molecular cloud.
