Fundamentals is the re-design
and development of the Joint
F o r c e C o m m a n d ( J F C )
Curriculum to fully leverage the
“science of learning” paradigm.
The JFC Curriculum is designed
to enhance the learning
continuum with a series of 100,
200 and 300 level courses, all
with embedded features that
set the conditions for higherlevel
learning.
The curriculum is intended for
military and civilian personnel
who will be assigned or
attach ed to any joint
organization such as a
Combatant Command staff or
JTF staff. It is designed to
deliver individual training on the
fundamentals of joint military
organizations and functions,
and to provide a foundation of
joint knowledge based on joint
doctrine.
The 100-level course content is
developed specifically to deliver
objective knowledge, the
foundational knowledge. We
