Description
In order to better support today’s high OPTEMPO, the Joint Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence Staff and Operations Course (JC4ISOC) now offers a three-week operational level resident course sponsored by the Joint Staff J6. The mission of the JC4ISOC is to educate and train joint C4I decision makers in C4I concepts in the joint/coalition/interagency environments, the DoD’s organization and how it supports the C4I process, and the management and operation of current joint C4I systems and joint operational procedures associated with both strategic and theater/tactical systems. Students are required to demonstrate their learning by means of successfully completing an end of course examination and through participation in a C4I planning practical exercise.
