Overview

The release of NAVADMIN 263/18 and the 2018 Education for Seapower Final Report marked a dramatic departure from the status quo of graduate education in the naval profession. The Navy will be placing renewed emphasis on in-residence graduate education, with mandatory attendance requirements for future groups of officers. This project examines the mismatch between graduate education objectives as they currently exist and the core competencies required of due-course tactical aviation officers in order to meet the needs of naval aviation leadership and align graduate education efforts with Education for Seapower objectives. Research methods focus on analyzing language contained in promotion and screen board guiding documents to derive core competencies by integrating and building upon relevant core competency literature.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.In examining this problem, we chose to limit our scope to the tactical aviation (TACAIR) component of the larger Naval Aviation Enterprise. Specifically, we chose to target officers who would be most affected by these policy changes and who would have the greatest potential for organization-wide impact after their in-residence graduate education experience. Therefore, the group of officers we identified is considered due-course by the community, meaning they are being groomed for command billets and are in the O-4 pay grade immediately preparing for, or have just completed, an operational department head tour. This group of officers was chosen not only for its promotion potential but also because their career timing at those junctures is optimal for an in-residence graduate education program. We built upon and integrated the relevant body of knowledge for deriving an organization's core competencies. Our research methods included reviewing current and historical organizational documentation in the form of statutory promotion and operational screening board guiding documentation. Such documentation included Secretary of the Navy Precepts, Convening Orders, Lessons Learned products, and selected Naval Aviation-specific vision and strategy documents.
