Army Status of Recommendations on Officers' Professional Military Education

Abstract

A primary objective of the Goldwater-Nichols Reorganization Act of 1986 is to strengthen combined and joint operations of the various military services. To fulfill this objective, the House Armed Services Committee established the Panel on Military Education in November 1987 to report its findings and recommendations regarding the ability of DOD to develop joint specialty officers through its professional military education systems. The Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, established policies, programs, guidelines, and procedures for coordinating, among other things, the joint professional military education of members of the U.S. armed forces. This guidance is contained in the Military Education Policy Document that was issued in May 1990. Military departments are required to incorporate this guidance into their own professional military education systems.
