Improving Jointness at Marine Corps University: Meeting the Spirit of the Skelton Panel

Abstract

Policy and legislation have diluted the Skelton Panels vision of Joint Professional Military Education, of which Jointness is a critical component. Jointness is not about interoperability; it is about acculturation. Inculcating Jointness is the pinnacle achievement for military personnel in the Goldwater-Nichols Joint construct. While the Marine Corps is meeting Department of Defense policy, it should exploit opportunities to implement a spectrum of changes organic to Marine Corps University in order to increase its ability to acculturate Jointness in Marine Corps officers.
