ROA Life member graduates from Joint Professional Military Education program

Officer, The - September 1, 2004

ROA Life Member CDR J. Miguel Santos, USNR, was among the 32 Reserve officers who graduated from the first Reserve Component Advanced Joint Professional Military Education program (AJPME) offered by the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC).

The JFSC was tasked to develop a JFSC-like program on "joint matters" for Reserve Component field-grade officers who will serve as augmentees to Joint Task Force (JTF) and Crisis Action Team (CAT) staffs. The program was tasked with ensuring that these officers arrive at combatant commanders' headquarters fully prepared, with the required joint staff officer skills.

As with its in-residence counterparts, the AJPME Curriculum allows the students to experience all of the plans and operational challenges that a Joint Specialty officer should anticipate over a three-year joint duty assignment--from Joint Staff to a Joint Task Force and Service Component Staff. Lessons progress through the deliberate planning cycle, punctuated with numerous crisis action planning opportunities. Students' skills are developed using a fictitious United States-Africa joint command.

Thirty-two students from the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, and the Army and Air National Guard were either appointed or board selected by their respective services to attend the course. After 34 weeks of advanced distance learning sections, combined with the requirement for two face-to face periods at JFSC totaling 25 days, two Joint Information Papers and one Joint Research Paper, and a multitude of joint war-gaming exercises, 32 Reserve officers are now ready to serve the JOINT requirements of today's United States and allied defense needs.
