PME helps Service Members develop the knowledge and habits of mind essential to the military profession. FE&T provides direction, guidance, and oversight for PME institutions across the force.
The joint training of individuals, units, and staffs to support Combatant Command missions, often with Allies and Partners, is critical to ensuring our national security. FE&T’s Military Training and Exercises portfolio includes programs such as the Joint Training, Exercise, and Evaluation Program (JTEEP), Joint & Integrated Operations Training (JIOT), and Joint Assessment and Enabling Capability (JAEC).
The Department works to build and maintain robust language, regional expertise, and culture capabilities across the Total Force in order to protect our national security. Our Language Programs develop, advocate, and oversee policies, strategies, and initiatives designed to meet this objective now and in the future.
The Department invests in rising leaders in a variety of ways as part of the development of our forces and capabilities. The Strategic Thinkers Program and SECDEF Executive Fellows Program engage a select number of military officers and civilian employees in innovative, year-long education and training opportunities designed to prepare our future leaders to meet the evolving objectives and needs of the Department.
The Department is committed to strengthening the professional readiness of its service members and the Credentialing Program is designed to provide policy, guidance, oversight, and assessment of that effort. Service members can attain credentials, map their military knowledge and experience, and prepare for upskill, reskill and future skill training opportunities.
