Goldwater-Nichols and the Evolution of Officer Joint Professional Military Education (JPME)

Abstract

In November 2015, the Senate Armed Services Committee initiated a review of the Goldwater Nichols Act (GNA). This piece of legislation, enacted in 1986 and amended in subsequent years, led to major reforms in defense organization. The year 2016 will mark the 30th anniversary of this landmark legislation, and lawmakers have expressed interest in whether the changes, as implemented, are achieving the goals of the reform, and whether further reforms are needed to achieve current and future national security goals.
