To announce the establishment of Marine  Corps University’s Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO) Education  Program. 2. Background. Reference (ref) (a) notes that rapid advances in  technology and the digitization of information—especially in space,  cyberspace, and the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS)—are fundamentally  changing the character of warfare. It also highlights that current  joint doctrine emphasizes deconfliction to allow Service components  to operate in distinct, domain-specific areas of responsibility—a  method that sufficed when the joint force held uncontested overmatch  across the theater. However, against a capable adversary, this  segregated approach is no longer viable and must give way to  integrated, cross-domain operations. Ref (b) notes that Joint  warfighting in the modern era requires an unprecedented level of  integration across domains to achieve operational success. Joint  Force Commanders are tasked with the complex challenge of  orchestrating diverse capabilities to create synchronized effects,  ensuring that their operations are both adaptive and decisive. To  meet these demands, commanders employ innovative planning frameworks  that allow them to harness the full array of joint capabilities while responding to rapidly changing operational environments. Ref  (c) directs leaders of Joint Professional Military Education  institutions to build joint warfighting expertise emphasizing active  performance-oriented experiential learning methodologies such as  role-based wargaming and interactive joint planning exercises and to  use classified instruction where appropriate. In ref (d), the  Commandant of the Marine Corps references the 2022 National Defense  Strategy which prioritizes the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as  the pacing challenge and identifies the Marine Corps’ enduring  purpose as the provision of ready forces to meet Combatant  Commander and Fleet needs – specifically, through expeditionary  Marine Air Ground Task Forces (MAGTFs) capable of combined arms  and integration into the Joint Force. Ref (e) tasks Marine Corps  University (MCU) to develop and implement curricula to produce  Joint All Domain Officers with the knowledge and skills to manage  the integration of all domain capabilities in a complex joint/ combined operating environment and to explore options for graduating  students who are fully informed in higher classification concepts and  programs. MCU’s JADO Education Program described below and formally  launched in academic year (AY) 26, addresses the warfighting  imperatives addressed in references (a), (b), (c), and (d) and  specifically fulfills the tasks assigned to MCU in reference (e). 3. JADO Education Program. At present, MCU’s JADO Education Program  includes two tracks. Track 1 is the JADO Advanced Studies Program (ASP) offered as part of the Command and Staff College (CSC) resident program in Quantico. Track 2 is the JADO Fleet Support Program (FSP)  currently being piloted by MCU’s College of Distance Education and  Training (CDET) in three locations. The JADO ASP is completed during  the CSC AY, with the possibility of travel post AY, and includes instruction at the Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented information  (TS/SCI) level. CSC anticipates graduating 32 students from the JADO  ASP in AY 26 and increasing the number of graduates annually until  the program has 96 graduates in AY 29. The JADO FSP Pilot is  completed as part of the Command and Staff College Blended Seminar  Program (CSCBSP) and includes instruction at the SECRET level. CDET  anticipates graduating 35 students through the JADO FSP in AY 26 and more in subsequent years depending on funding and other factors. 4. Program Concept. In both tracks, the JADO curriculum has been  designed to develop the competency of officers to conduct operational  planning at classification and to serve on the staff of a Joint Task  Force (JTF) and in other Joint and Combined environments. Upon  completing the JADO ASP, graduates will be fluent in operations/ targeting, logistics, and command and control and able to formulate  and articulate the construction of appropriate annexes linked to a  Theory of Victory. They will be able to synchronize fires across all  domains with maneuver and logistics and construct and utilize multi- domain movement corridors. Graduates will be better equipped to  harmonize the “symphony of capabilities” needed to execute the  Department of Defense's core mission of deterring war and, if  necessary, defeating and destroying our adversaries. The JADO FSP  is being designed to achieve the same student learning outcomes as  the JADO ASP, but to less depth. It is also being tailored to address  Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) specific warfighting equities and  operation plan (OPLAN) responsibilities. At present, the JADO FSP is  being piloted at Camp Pendleton, Camp Lejeune, and Quantico as part  of the CSCBSP at those locations. Depending on the outcomes of the  pilots, it may be expanded to other locations as a stand-alone  program or become a regular part of the CSCBSP at one or more  locations. 5. Enrollment and Classification Requirements. U.S. students selected  to attend the Marine Corps Command and Staff College resident course  in Quantico are provided information on how to enroll in the JADO ASP  during the initial weeks of the AY. 32 CSC students have been vetted  and approved to participate in the JADO ASP in AY 26. Students in the  JADO FSP are provided enrollment instructions during the opening  weeks of the CSCBSP at Camp Pendleton, Camp Lejeune, and Quantico.  Students approved to participate in the JADO ASP must possess a Top  Secret/SCI clearance. Students approved to participate in the JADO  FSP must possess a SECRET clearance. All students must have Secret  Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) accounts and SIPRNet  tokens to gain access to classified information, curriculum, and  secure facilities. 6. Recognition for Completion. Students who successfully complete the  JADO ASP or the JADO FSP will be recognized with a JADO school code  which becomes part of their permanent military record and appears on  their Master Brief Sheet (MBS). Each program will have a distinct  school code associated with it to acknowledge the differences in  program design, depth, and classification. This designator will  allow the Marine Corps to track officers who have received JADO  education for assignments or other purposes. 7. Release authorized by Brigadier General M. W. Tracy,  President, Marine Corps University.//
