Centralized Joint Officer Management: A Model for Improving Joint Warfighting
Abstract
This study recommends the development and implementation of a centralized joint officer management model (CJOMM) to build, maintain, and cultivate a professional corps of capable and competent career JQOs who are experts at planning and leading joint operations as well as leading joint formations in complex and uncertain operational and strategic environments through the application of globally integrated, multi-domain, and joint operational concepts. Under the direction of the Joint Staff J-1, CJOMM recommends the creation of a joint officer career field (JOCF) to consolidate the management of joint officer education, assignment, and promotion for a small corps of career JQOs. CJOMM implementation requires a committee of Joint Staff, service personnel exerts, and congressional representatives to work out structure and establish required Joint Staff institutions and changes in current laws. CJOMM improves JQO management effectiveness by directly connecting the management and development of a professional corps of JQOs to Combatant Command joint mission requirements, replacing the current fragmented system of JQO management by the services. Failing to implement CJOMM will result in continued joint operational and strategic inefficiencies that can lead to repeating the operational and strategic failures of the past.
