Situation

• JFSC produced the largest number of graduates in
  recent history during CY 2005
• 851 U. S. military in new Phase II program (4x10)
• 13 increase from 3x12 format in 2004
• 25 in Single Phase advanced program
• 124 in the Advanced JPME program
• 64 International officers
• 12 Interagency civilians

The Rest of the Story

• Were not meeting the Chairmans Guidance
• The right educationat the right timefor the
  right officer
• CY 2005 42 meet this criteria in the JPME Phase
  II program

4
The Objective

• Further increase the number of officers receiving
  JPME Phase II
• Achieve a standard of 90 or better for educating
  the right officer at the right time

5
The Strategy

• Trade the length of the JPME Phase II course
  (JCWS) for an increase in the number of officers
  attending
• Transition to an eight-week resident format, with
  a small distance learning component
• Conduct five classes per year versus the present
  four per year

The Proposed Schedule Would Look Like This
Current CY 05 Schedule
Proposed CY 07 Schedule

Impact of this Proposal

• The delta between the former 3x12 format and
  the proposed 5x8 format for JCWS is
• Five-year JPME Phase II average for 2001-2005
  760
• Proposed number of JPME II graduates 1,150
• Affords the COCOMs and personnel community added
  flexibility to
• assign officers earlier in their career and
• meet the Chairmans guidance of right officer,
  right time.

The End State

• An Effects-Based Education strategy that will
• fully embrace the Chairmans education guidance
• result in a greater contribution to the joint
  community without an increase in officer man-days
• is consistent with CJCS Vision for Joint Officer
  Development
