In the future, the US military cannot afford to be outmaneuvered by the enemy anywhere within the battlespace; freedom depends on our ability to retain the initiative and to subdue or annihilate the enemy at points of our choosing. Toward that end, we must continue to exploit fully joint warfighting theory and doctrine. We do this well enough in most areas, with the glaring exception of officer professional development. This research attempts to show that the Services do nothing substantial or systematic to instill joint-mindedness among all officers--the junior ranks most especially. This thesis ventures to illustrate that "joint" is a mere credential an officer attains at random points throughout his career. In doing so, Service core competencies and qualifications are established at the expense of joint mindedness and ultimately the joint force. The author provides analysis of each Service starting at the tactical career level and then proceeding on to the operational career level. The research culminates with an analysis of the strategic career level. Within these three career levels the author evaluates education (technical and professional military education), assignments, and exercises and operations. Finally, for each career level he provides his assessment and way ahead for the Services. ; The original document contains color images.
