Summary:

A main goal of the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 was to strengthen joint and combined operations of the military services, in part by training joint specialty officers at professional military schools. Of 41 recommendations made to the National War College in Washington, D.C., 32 have been successfully implemented, including two key recommendations on establishing a professional military education framework and hiring quality faculty. Nine recommendations have been partially implemented, four of which involve letter grades while the others cover areas not fully within the college's control, including (1) student-to-faculty ratios; (2) the completion of a service intermediate school before attendance at a joint school; and (3) officers in professional categories, like doctors and lawyers, who are assigned to joint duty positions after graduation.
