Operational synergy has been evident through over a decade of continuous combat, but junior officers have been engaging in essentially joint tours and exercises at the tactical level without formal joint professional military education (JPME). CJCS provides JPME guidance through such policy documents as the Officer Professional Military Education Policy, but with more junior officers engaged in tactical planning and executing joint operations, the synergy evident with commanders and joint planners because of required joint education must now be duplicated with junior officers at the tactical level. The JPME gap between higher and junior officers can be closed using low impact solutions and can yield substantial benefits and foster a tactical understanding of joint force employment at the tactical level.
