Relevant Joint Education at the Intermediate Level Colleges

Abstract

The leaders of our Armed Services continuously emphasize the importance of Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) for officers at all levels. Joint Vision 2020 states that the key to interoperability amongst the Services is joint education. Despite all of this emphasis, many leaders strongly believe that our JPME programs are inadequate. This paper analyzes the joint education officers receive at the Intermediate Level Colleges. The findings indicate that O4s are not receiving sufficient joint education from the Intermediate Level Colleges in all of the areas that will make them successful in joint assignments. The analysis began with a survey in order to find out what skills are important in the joint operational environment. Then the analysis determined if the four Intermediate Level Colleges give appropriate coverage to these areas. The paper concludes with recommendations about what areas each College should add more emphasis on and with recommendations for further research that might be done similar studies.
