CJSCI 1805.01A Enlisted Professional Military Education Policy (EPMEP)
- CJCS sponsored and authorized course- Signed by General Pace on 28 Oct 2005, reaffirmed 20 Sep 2011
- Purpose: “Circulates the policies, procedures, objectives, and responsibilities for enlisted professional military education (EPME) and enlisted joint professional military education (EJPME).”
- Applicability: Joint Staff, National Defense University (NDU), and the Military Services
- Policy: “Our overarching goal is to educate and train the right person for the right task at the right time. We can not wait until an individual is placed into a leadership position before providing the proper education and training. This is especially true today; the War on Terrorism requires [NCOs] from all Services to work in the joint environment more often than they have ever before. It is imperative that we expand “jointness” to all appropriate levels in our Armed Forces.”

3. Applicability. TIlls instruction applies to the Joint Staff, the National Defense University (NDU), and the Military Services. It is distributed to other agencies for information only.
4. Policy
a. Protecting our Nation, preventing future conflicts. and prevailing against adversaries require that the US Armed Forces sustain. and extend their qualitative advantage against a very diverse set of threats and adversary capabilities. Maintaining our qualitative advantage begins with improving education programs across the Services.
b. Our overarching goal is to educate and train the right person for the right task at the right time. We can not wait until an individual is placed into a leadership position before providing the proper education and training. TIlls is especially true today; the War on T~rrorism requires noncommissioned officers from all Services to work in the joint environment more often than they have before.
