3. Background

a. NDU/JFSC’s mission is to educate joint warfighters and other national security leaders to plan and execute operational-level military operations in a joint, multinational, and interagency environment and to instill a primary commitment to joint, multinational, and interagency teamwork, attitudes, and perspectives. A vital part of the NDU/JFSC mission is the Joint and Combined Warfighting School (JCWS) and its role as the principal program for JPME II as defined in 10 USC § 2155.

b. Since 2005, 10 USC § 2155 mandated JPME II be taught in-residence at

NDU or Senior Service Colleges. In the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Congress authorized a limited pilot test of a non-resident JPME II program conducted by NDU/JFSC, at not more than two Combatant Command (CCMD) Headquarter (HQ) sites for a period of five years. The pilot program was successfully hosted by the Joint Special

Operations University in Tampa, Florida, from 2013 to 2015. Congress authorized JPME II to be taught at or offered through the JPME II institutions in the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, which opened the Satellite Program to all CCMD HQ sites.

c. USCENTCOM is bringing NDU to Tampa, Florida to conduct a JPME II course from 5 January to 20 March 2026.

4. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE.

a. NDU/JFSC is the academic focal point for the Satellite JPME II program.

NDU/JFSC will be responsible for all academic aspects of the program including faculty training and certification, curriculum content and presentation, as well as collecting and analyzing assessment data.

b. NDU/JFSC delivers the program content over a 10-week, full-time, daily schedule, with Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) identical to the content presented in residence at NDU/JFSC in Norfolk, Virginia. Attendance at this program is the students’ primary duty.
