Overview of JTC

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Joint Forces Staff College's Joint Transition Course. During this course, you will have the opportunity to learn about the organization and the planning processes associated with the United States and its Department of Defense. The Joint Transition Course is a consolidation of a much broader curriculum and is intended to give you a concise overview of the subject matter. The presentations and discussions that occur in this course are intended to review, and or provide you with, the basic elements of the Joint Professional Military Education Phase I and introduce you to the subject matter that you will be studying over the following ten weeks.

Joint Transition Course Schedule provides the daily schedule of events and the classes that will be presented. This course is intensive as you can see; therefore the syllabus guide outlines the lessons, their respective learning objectives, and the associated readings that need to be completed prior to each day Preparation for each class will allow class discussion and faculty presentations to reinforce the material. On the final day of the course, you will have an opportunity to use the information provided in the previous classes to conduct an exercise based on a complex operational contingency.
