Congratulations to 16 representatives from Colombia and Panama as they have completed the Joint Planning Course academic requirements. The course is designed to educate multinational field grade officers and interagency civilians (major to colonel or equivalent) in Joint operations, decision-making frameworks, and planning processes through formal lectures and analysis of case studies. The course enhances the joint planning and execution process across various military operations, with a strong focus on decision-making and problem-solving in an operational environment characterized by ambiguity, violence, and high tempo. Graduates will acquire the essential competencies required to effectively lead, plan, and execute within brigade-level or larger units, with a particular emphasis on synchronizing interagency and international efforts during military operational planning.
