(It) India National Defense College. (i) Canadian National Defense College. 0) Italian Center for Higher Defense Studies. tic) Senior Service College Fellowships. (2) Armyofficers who attend the colleges/fellowships at (u) through (g) above are selected by HQDAboards on a best-qualified basis from amongeligible officers. (3) Officers are eligible for attendance for fllese colleges/fellowships after being promoted to lieutenant colonel, through their 23d year of service. (4) Selection for, and completion of, the USAWC Corresponding Studies Course for Armyofficers is considered equivalent to the USAWC resident course. (5) Promotion list service determines years of service for Regular Armyofficers (except AMEDD); active Federal commissioned service is the governing factor for AMEDD officers and for other than Regular Armyofficers. The CAR will select USAR officers under AR 141)-12. The CNGB will select ARNG officers to attend these courses. 3-7. General officer training a. Promotion to general officer (GO)represents the most selective transition in an officer's career. Approximately 60 colonels Amay-wide are centrally selected for promotion to brigadier general yearly. Historically, virtually alI brigadier generals have completed a senior service college course of instruction prior to selection for promotion, The scope of responsibilities incun'ed by promotion and reassignment to general officer positions requires post-War College training and more individualized professional development programs. b, The general officer continuing education program consists of three components: ( 1 ) Otqentatiott/mandatoO, #'aining--h~fomnation on ctt/7"eltl A/w and DOD policies, programs, plans and ptvblems O, considered by the A~wo~leadership to be of high priority, These hwhtde-(a) Brigadier General's Orientation Conference. Within a few montbs of selection, all brigadier general designees attend a l-week Brigadier Generals' Orientation Conference in the Washingtun area. This conference consists of a series of briefings and discussions by and with senior Anawand DOD leaders. There are excursions for a stress managementorientation, a visit to Congress, and seminars on generalship. (b) Force Integration Trahfing. Four times a year the Office of the Chief of Staff, Army conducts a Force Integration Course for approximately 40 GOs and Senior Executives Service (SES) personnel. Tbe 3 I/2 day course focuses on "Howthe ArmyRuns" with instructors from the ArmyStaff. The course updates GOson current policies and high priority programs and provides an overview of the workings of the ArmyStaff. (c) CAPSTONE. Four times yearly fue National Defense University offers tbe 6-week CAPSTONE course. Tbis course is bold at Fort Lesley J. McNair. Small groups of general and flag officers (and selectees) of all Services including Coast Guard and State Department attend. At present, the average class size is 213. The course differs from other senior service schools in a number of ways other than tbe obvious rank and seniority of its participants, class, size, and duration. First, the course bus tbe primary objective of enhancing student understanding of the employment of U.S. forces in joint and combined warfare. Second, it provides significant personnl interaction with commanders-inchief and other senior U.S. and Allied commanders responsible for the planning and employment of joint and combinedmilitary forces. Third, retired four-star general and flag officers are attached to each class as Senior Fellows to provide advice and guidance based on their perspectives and experience. The course is designed to build upon and share the expertise and experience of the course participants. It also broadens their appreciation and understanding of joir~t and combinedoperations, and, as a result, prepares them t~ function more effectively in the joint and combined arena. Not a duplication of senior service schools, CAPSTONE recognizes the unique continuing education requirements of fue general officer corps beyond the war college level. (2) Executive Development Courses--education and trahfing in areas of htcreasing relevance to a range of executive responsibilities and GOpositions. (a) ~recutive Self Development Program. Each brigadier general (and selectee) attends a l-week executive leadership development course at a civilian institution. These courses have the objective of identifying and improving lcadersbip skills, increasing self-awareness through regular feedback, developing measurable goals, and stimulating further personal and career growth. The courses are offered at a number of locations in CONUS overseas and uffer and attendees the opportunity to interface with contemporaries from the civilian sector. (b) K~:ecutive ManagementConrses/Advance ManagementProgram. Selected GOswill attend functional courses at civilian in-stitutions which will further aid in tbeir professional developmentas GOsin a specific field of study and serve as a meansof keeping the general officers abreast of developments in tbeir field. The training is geared toward specific grade levels and corresponds to the civilian sector.

Constructiveor equivalent credit for courses a. Tbegranting of constructive or equivalent credit is restricted to courses that generate a changein an officer's military education leveI (MEL) code. (I) Constructiveor equivalent credit maybe awardedto officers whohave not attended a specific officer training (2) Persons whoreceive constructive or equivalent credit for a course are not eligible or required to attend the respective resident or nonresident, or correspondence course. b. Credit maybe granted for, but is not limited to, the following reasons: (1) Active duty service experience. (2) Service school or college faculty duty. (3) Attendanceat equated schools. c. Constructive/equivalent credit for Senior Service College and Command Staff College maybe recommended and by the appropriate authority, but is granted by the DA centralized selection board selecting personnelfor MEL and 4 1 respectively. All other requests will be considered by a Constructive/EquivalentCredit Board with the CG,MILPERCEN retaining approval authority for ACofficers, the CNGB ARNG for officers, and CAR USAR for officers. For example,if the applicant seeks equivalent credit for Senior Service College, the DA Senior Service College Selection Board would adjourn and then reconvene as an SSCConstructive/Equivalent Credit Board. (l) Boarddeliberations are final. (2) Anofficer's mannerof performance the assignmentuponwhichthe request for constmctive/equivalentcredit in is basedis the majordecision criterion. d.

The identification of officers to take part in resident and nonresidentcourses is rigorously controlled to include selection by a DAboard. f. Except through an established resident program, completionof the USAWC correspondingstudies course is the sole means whichArmy by officers receive credit for senior service coIlege training. This includes officers in the SSC FeIlowsbip Program. (1) This policy stems from tbe philosopbythat only those officers with tbe greatest potential for service at the highest Ievels of responsibility receive senior service college level training and credit. (2) Similarly, curriculumsof the other Services"intem~ediatelevel nonresidentprograms not consideredsuitable are substitutes for tbe training Amay officers receive in either the resident or nonresident USACGSC program.This is not intended to devalue other nonresident programs;it simply recognizes that the Army's nonresident course is the most appropriate nonresident course for Army officers. (3) Training provided by CGSOC largely Army-orientedand focuses on the AirLandBattle. Ideally, all Army is officers should take part in this training to prepare for duty as field grade officers in command staff assignments and witb tbe Army foe field. Tooffer equivalent credit for participation in otber service nonresident command staff in and college courses would, in effect, discourage participation of Army officers in nonresident courses that have been designed to meet their particular needs. g. Eligibility requirementsfor constr~ctive and equivalent credit are discussed below. (1) To receive constructive credit, a commissioned officer must(a) Be beyondeligibility for selection to those courses where attendance is determined by a DAboard. (b) Havedemonstrateduniquely distinguishing duty or service that encompasses of tlm common all subject matter areas as listed in the most current curriculumpamphletpertaining to the course for wbicb credit is requested.
