1. Per ref (a) through (c), JPME is a subset of PME and reflects a concentration on Joint matters, frequently offered in tandem with the delivery of Service-focused PME. JPME provides the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to enhance officer performance in Joint duties consistent with policy and legislative requirements for JOM, to include various levels of joint qualification and eligibility for GO/FO selection. PME and JPME programs provide graduates the knowledge and skills to prepare them for service as joint warfighting leaders, senior staff officers, and strategists. Service and Joint PME institutions function as an integrated system with specified PME programs providing accredited JPME. 2. The following are qualifying JPME I and II courses. 2.a.
