TRAINING LOCATION: National Defense University (NDU), Ft. McNair Washington, D.C. As the Nation’s premier Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) provider, NDU educates emerging senior leaders in the defense and interagency communities at the operational and strategic levels.

PURPOSE: IAW CJCSI 1805.01C, GATEWAY provides resident Enlisted JPME (EJPME) to selected enlisted personnel of Department of Defense (DoD) Services and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). The Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman (SEAC) of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Service Senior Enlisted Advisors have sponsored the need to provide substantive EJPME earlier in the leadership development continuum of select enlisted members to meet the demands of emerging and future operating environments and in support of the Joint Warfighting Concept.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: GATEWAY reinforces joint perspectives while preparing select E-7s for enhanced joint leadership opportunities at the operational level. This course fulfills a resident EJPME continuum gap that presently exists between the distance learning courses, Enlisted Joint Professional Military Education (EJPME) I/II, and KEYSTONE. This course will allow mid-grade Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCOs) and Chief Petty Officers (CPOs) the opportunity to elevate their tactical and operational leadership experience in a joint learning environment. Listed below are the GATEWAY Joint Learning Areas (JLAs).
