By MC3 Brian H. Abel
The 64th graduating class of the Naval War College (NWC) Monterey partnership with NPS stands for a group portrait on the front steps of Herrmann Hall, Sept. 17. NPS partners with NWC Monterey to provide Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) phase 1 certification to select students while they are on site for their graduate degrees.
NWC Monterey Chairman, Professor Fred Drake, and Dr. William Eliason, Director of National Defense University Press and the Editor in Chief of Joint Force Quarterly presided over the ceremony where a total of 70 U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Army officers earned their NWC Command and Staff diploma with JPME Phase I certification.
To date, a total of 4,147 officers have earned this certification since the program's inception in September 1999.
