Joint Professional Military Education

Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) is specialized training for military officers across different branches—Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard—designed to develop their understanding of joint operations, strategy, and leadership. It promotes collaboration, ensuring officers can work effectively together in complex, multi-service environments. Typically completed during mid-career or senior levels, JPME enhances their ability to think strategically across organizations, improve communication, and lead diverse teams. It is a critical component in preparing military leaders for high-level decision-making in joint, integrated operations and national security efforts.
