As of 17-October-22, the new Joint Duty Assignment Manpower Information System (JDAMIS) went online. The new link to establish user access to view your Joint Officer History and apply for Experience-based Joint Duty Assignment credit through the Joint Qualification System is https://dhramission.servicenowservices.mil. The Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) team updated the MilConnect portal instruction directing officers to contact the JDAMIS Help Desk for account creation. Officers are no longer able to submit joint experience via MilConnect. Officers who attempt to log into MilConnect should receive a message from DMDC stating the following: “The DMDC team has been unsuccessful in provisioning access for officers to be able to login to the new JDAMIS system to submit E-JDA nominations. In order to submit a nomination, officers may contact the JMIS Help Desk at dodhra.dodc-mb.dmdc.mbx.jmis-helpdesk@mail.mil and request a JDAMIS account. The Help Desk will immediately create an account and provide the officer with instructions to access the system and submit their nomination.”

The Joint Officer Matters Section is working in the new system, assisting the system administrators with testing and debugging.

See the ‘Joint Qualification System’ section for how to submit your joint experience. Expect up to 5 business days for system transaction requests.

The JDAL (Joint Duty Assignment List) is a list of joint positions, of which some are joint critical billets (requires MOS 9702, JQO designated), approved by the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. These positions are considered approved Standard-Joint Duty Assignment (S-JDA) positions where an officer gains significant experience in joint matters. Successful completion of an assignment in one of these positions is the primary path towards completing criteria for designation as a Joint Qualified Officer (JQO).

The JDAL is the position management file of JDAMIS and is managed by the Joint Staff J-1. Only permanent positions, Major and above, where an officer gains significant experience in joint matters may be designated as JDAL positions. A preponderance of a position’s responsibilities must meet the definition of joint matters listed below. Positions approved for addition to the JDAL must meet the new 10 USC 668 definition of joint matters and joint duty assignments.

** Remember, not all billets at joint commands are JDAL billets. Only JDAL billets will confer joint credit to the incumbent filling the position. There are numerous billets at joint commands that do not confer credit. Double check with the monitor and/or JOMO with any questions regarding a billet being on the JDAL.

** OFFICERS CURRENTLY FILLING A BILLET THAT DROPPED OFF THE JDAL WILL STILL GET FULL JOINT TOUR CREDIT. AS LONG AS THE OFFICER CHECKED INTO THE UNIT/BILLET PRIOR TO THE BILLET BEING DROPPED, HE/SHE WILL GET CREDIT. THE OFFICER BACKFILLING THE BILLET WILL NOT**

The JDAL is not posted for access for many reasons:
– The JDAL is constantly changing.
–1/2 of the billets on the JDAL are for MOSs 8006, 8007, or 7506. This means that a Field Grade Monitor does not know which billets he/she will be required to staff until after the Staffing Goal Model has been run and published.
–Additionally, some Marine billets on the JDAL are nominative. This means that each service is invited to nominate to that billet. We will not know if we will fill that billet until we receive a requisition, nominate a Marine, and the Marine gets accepted and selected.

Please contact your Monitor regarding the joint billets he/she is responsible for filling during the fiscal year. Assignments are not made through the Joint Matters Section and we will not interfere with the Monitors’ recommendation of a qualified officer.

Joint Matters

Matters related to the achievement of unified action by multiple military forces in operations conducted across domains such as land, sea, or air, in space, or in the information environment, including matters relating to national military strategy; strategic and contingency planning; command and control of operations under unified command; national security planning with other departments and agencies of the United States (U.S.); and combined operations with military forces of allied nations. In the context of joint matters, the term `multiple military forces refers to forces that involve participants from the armed forces and one or more of the following: other departments and agencies of the U.S.; the military forces or agencies of other countries; non-governmental persons or entities.

Except for the “in-residence” military programs, you must provide the JOMO office with your official JPME completion letter/diploma for all accredited programs to receive your respective education credit (JPME I – Command &Staff College (service equivalent), JPME II – (AJPME)). Send your documentation for all distance learning programs to the email address located on the JOMO home page.

Per Title 10, Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) must be completed in sequence; Phase I followed by Phase II. Direct Entry Waivers (DEW) are only authorized by the Joint Staff on a strict case by case basis, with a compelling reason for attending Phase II prior to completing Phase I. Additionally, per Title 10, no more than 10 percent of a JPME II class may be attending under a DEW. Accordingly, it is advisable that you begin your joint education as soon as possible or apply for joint education in route to your joint assignment.

JPME Phase I can be completed either through an “in residence” course or through distance learning. All of the intermediate service colleges offer distance learning. Distance Learning through the Marine Corps Command and Staff College is accredited for JPME I.

The Marine Corps Command and Staff Course satisfies the Phase I requirement (residents must have graduated after June 1989 and non-residents must have completed an 8000-series course in order to qualify for Phase I). Other Intermediate Level School (ILS) equivalents count as Phase I. The CJCSI 1800.1, Enclosure A, provides all of the JPME eligible courses and Appendix D to Encl A will list the dates they were certified for JPME I credit. There are also several fellowships and International Military Colleges that were approved for JPME I credit during certain years. If you have a specific question about one of these, please contact the JOMO.

JPME Phase II is available for Majors through Colonels at National Defense Universities (Joint Forces Staff College – Joint Advanced Warfighting School, The Eisenhower School, and National War College) and all of the senior service colleges. These are all “in resident” courses, but be forewarned; because of Title 10 requirements, the NDUs may incur a joint tour obligation upon graduation. If you are already a JQO and attend one of the NDUs you must, by law, go to a JDAL tour upon graduation. OSD waivers are only approved on a strict case by case basis.

The JFSC also offers four, ten-week, Phase II classes per year for Majors – Colonels. Attendance is competitive due to limited seating. Applications for JPME II attendance at the JFSC should be submitted via the JOMO’s office NLT 90-days prior to the course convening date. A link to the application is located on this webpage on the FORMS column. Class quotas are limited for each service. The JOMO office will notify you if selected to attend and will confirm availability with you at that time. If not selected, you may ask us to slide your application to a later class. Priority of attaining a quota for each individual class will be based off of RANK.

JPME II Joint Combined Warfare School is funded by the Marine Corps. If you are going TEMINS, appropriation data will be provided to your monitor for inclusion in your orders. If you are going TAD, appropriation data will provide to the student to take to his/her TAD orders writing section. Please contact MMOA-3, JOMO for coordination and support.

Please keep in mind that many commands are not able to give you the time to attend JPME while you are assigned to their command. We recommend that you check with the command before reporting and plan to request JPME attendance in route (keep your monitor in the loop so he/she has the info required to mod your orders but apply via this webpage).

JPME II OPPORTUNITIES AND ACCREDITATION

Please see the most up to date JPME II opportunities under the Documents section to the right, along with the application form. If you are interested in attending one of the upcoming courses for the Joint and Combined Warfare School (JCWS) please submit you application to our Joint Inbox at: smb_jointmatters_active@usmc.mil

You can also find the current courses which are accredited for JPME II. (***Please note that the Air War College Distance Education Program is not an accredited course for JPME II***)

Headquarters Marine Corps deploys Officers and Enlisted Marines to assist the Joint Manpower Program (JMP), ensuring that joint activities have the necessary manpower equipped with the right skills and experience to successfully execute assigned missions, tasks, and functions.

These particular positions are mainly situated in Joint environments characterized by a demanding operational pace. Although these roles may not carry the designation of a key billet based on rank, it is highly advised that each applicant carefully evaluates the career risks associated with such assignments. Your Assignments Monitor and Career Counselors are ready to provide assistance, ensuring that a potential assignment to this program aligns with your best interests.

Instructions

Download and fill out an Initial Screening Questionnaire (ISQ) and forward your completed ISQ to SMB_Select_Billet_Applications@usmc.mil via email.

Instructions, references and ISQ are found here: External Billets Program

NATO billets usually provide joint duty credit. Billets are requisitioned and filled much the same as other JDAL billets. Occasionally we’ll be asked to nominate to positions other than those which are typically programmed for the U.S. or the Marine Corps–those usually are not predictable and are handled on a case-by-case basis. Ask your monitor what’s available!

• What are the most recent, significant changes to Joint Duty?

  • The following things were changed/affected as a result of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2005 & 2007. More specific information can be found below in the FAQ section. JPME II credit for attending Senior Level Colleges (USAWC, AWC, NWC, MCWARC) beginning AY 06-07 (see JPME Tab for eligible classes).
    – Joint Specialty Officers will be converted to Joint Qualified Officers (1 Oct 2007)
    – “50%+1 Outplacement Rule” will only apply to NDU schools (JCWS, National War College, Eisenhower, CIC, CISA, and JAWS).
    – Multiple levels of joint qualification (JQS). See JQS Tab.

• What is JDAMIS?

  • JDAMIS (Joint Duty Assignment Management Information System) is the DOD information system that tracks all personnel who are, or have been, assigned to a JDA. Each service has a JDAMIS manager (for the USMC, this is the Asst JOMO) who is responsible for ensuring that begin and end dates are entered into the system. We are not allowed to enter dates into the system until AFTER you have checked into or departed from the JDA. Most of the time, we know when someone is leaving a joint billet, but occasionally Marines depart without our knowledge. What this means is that it may be months or years before you are identified as having departed from a joint duty assignment—which, in turn, means you may not screen for JQO eligibility until your record is corrected. I recommend you contact the JDAMIS manager once you have left a JDA to ensure you are properly logged into and out of JDAMIS!

• How do I know if I am in a Joint Duty Assignment?

  • There are about 2000 billets that Marine Officers can fill at Joint Commands, but only about 700 of those billets are assignments that grant joint credit. Most of the time, your monitor can tell you if you are going to a billet that gives joint credit, if not you can contact the JOMO.

• What is the Joint Tour Length?

  • The normal tour length for any joint billet in CONUS, as well as most of those outside of CONUS, is 36 months. There are some 12-month billets that grant cumulative credit (cumulative credit does not, of itself, constitute eligibility for promotion to O-7, JQO designation or inclusion in joint promotion reports). Full S-JDA tour credit is a 24-month billet assignment, you are eligible to be released at the 22-month mark with full joint credit, if it’s required to pull you early for a substantial, justifiable reason (the two-month gap counts as constructive credit). Constructive credit is granted on a case-by-case basis.

• Rules governing the tour length required in a Joint Duty Assignment List (JDAL) billet, and the appropriate joint tour credit, are dictated by Title 10, Section 664 as amended in the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). All orders to a JDAL tour must be written for a minimum of 24 months. An officer serving in a Standard Joint Duty Assignment (S-JDA) will be eligible for full joint duty credit upon departure if they’ve completed at least 22 months plus one day in an S-JDA billet. This policy does not change assignment tour length pursuant to DoDI 1315.18 or supersede Joint Travel Regulation requirements for assignments within or outside the continental United States.

• Monitors are authorized to request the award of constructive credit be applied to an officer (other than a general or flag officer) who, for reasons of military necessity, is reassigned from an S-JDA within 60 days of meeting the 2-year joint tour length period. TRANSFERRING SO MUCH AS 24 HOURS EARLY IN THIS CASE CAN RESULT IN NO JOINT CREDIT!! If you fall into this category, be sure to check with your monitor to confirm your check in (diary) date and that it’s going to be possible for you to leave your billet.

• Temporary duty periods of over 30 consecutive days away from an officer’s assigned joint organization for Service-related duties, including pre-command or refresher training, or attendance at joint professional military education (JPME) courses, will not count toward the 24-month minimum for JDA credit.

• Departures from an S-JDA to a command boarded position or developmental education before the minimum 22 months requires an OSD approved Joint Tour Length Waiver (JTLW) and would only grant accrued credit; any other early departure will typically result in no credit being awarded.

• Am I eligible for JQO?

  • JQO (Joint Qualified Officer) is an MOS (9702) designation. There is no longer a board process. Any officer who completes a full S-JDA (JDAL) and has completed JPME I and II will be recommended for JQO designation, via the Joint Staff, to OSD. Additionally, any officer who has completed JPME I & II and is approved for 24 points via the experience track of the Joint Qualification System may be recommended for the JQO designation as well.

• Do I have to be a JQO to get promoted to General?

  • Yes. Legislative change now requires JQO designation in order to be appointed to the rank of Brigadier General. This went into effect for the FY 09 promotion board.

How can I make sure I get credit for my Joint Tour?

We responsible for ensuring your Joint Officer History records are accurately maintained and up-to-date but it is your responsibility to ensure your military personnel file is up to date and documents are submitted to the JOMO for inclusion in your Joint Officer History.  Contact the JOMO if:

• If you are being pulled from your JDA at less than 22 months. In these cases, a tour length waiver and early release request must be submitted and approved before you leave your current JDA and before you can be granted full joint credit.

• If you are being pulled at the 22-24 month mark. There must be an early release request generated by this headquarters and approved by your command prior to your departure.

• If you are enroute to or departing from a FAO/RAO or Defense Attaché billet. Due to the unique assignment process for these billets, this office may not be aware of your status. Please contact us to ensure you receive joint duty credit.

• If you are retiring from a Joint Command, please give us a call to ensure we know that you are retiring and that you should be removed from JDAMIS.

• If you have completed a full 22-36 month JDA. Once you have physically departed the Joint Command, you should call (about a month later) to verify that we have logged you out of JDAMIS; this completes your joint duty credit.

EAD Requests for Career Designation

If an officer has not been screened for career designation and does not have requisite active-duty time to meet the qualifications for a board, the officer may request an Expiration of Active Service (EAS)/Expiration of Current Contract (ECC) extension IOT qualify for the subsequent board. Prior to submitting an EAD request, officers are encouraged to verify the accuracy of their EAS/ECC.

Career designation boards take place in August and February; therefore, EAD extensions should request a minimum of 4 months from the convening of the board – usually 15 June (for CDP1) and 31 January (for CDP2).

AA forms requesting extension for initial screening do not need to be endorsed by the Command and may be sent directly to the Retention & Release Section for action. The EAS/ECC extension is guaranteed as provided within the CDP MarAdmin and MCO 1001.65A but must be requested by the officer. Officers should advise their Monitor and Command of their extension requests.

Officers who fail to be selected for career designation may be eligible on subsequent boards if their EAS/ECC meets the cutoff outlined in the announcement MarAdmin. EAS/ECC extensions will not be granted to officers who have been considered previously but desire a second opportunity.

EAD Requests for Operational commitments

EAS/ECC extensions for deployments or other operational commitments are submitted via AA form and will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

The AA form must state the Marine’s current EAS/ECC, the requested EAS/ECC, and the reason for the extension.

Requests for EAD for matters not related to Career Designation shall be endorsed by the first O-5 or above in the Marine’s chain of command.

The Retention and Release Officer (RRO) is responsible for the staffing and processing of the below Acquisition PMOS Panel:

The Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) established the Marine Acquisition Officer (MAO) Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) (MARADMIN 348/2004) ”To develop a population of professional acquisition officers who meet statutory requirements under the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA), and are competitive for selection to Program Management and other Key Leadership Positions (KLPs) of major defense acquisition programs for which the Marine Corps has a unique or vested interest.”

In the Marine Corps, acquisition is not an entry level MOS. Initially, Marine Officers cycle between operating force (PMOS) and acquisition tours. After the first acquisition tour, a Marine Officer is designated an “Acquisition Candidate”, typically a Captain or junior Major, and then returns to the operating forces. On a voluntary basis, an acquisition candidate (Maj/LtCol/Col) must request to “lat move” into the Acquisition MOS. Lateral moves are approved through a competitive DC, M&RA selection panel held annually in November.
