Joint Matters Definition

• The Litmus Test The criteria that must be met
  is the statutory definition of joint matters
  outlined in DoDI 1300.19
• Joint Matters Definition Matters related to
  the achievement of unified actions by multiple
  forces in operations conducted across domains
  such as land, sea or air in space, or the
  information environment, including matters
  relating to national military strategy strategic
  planning and contingency planning command and
  control of operations under unified command
  national security planning with other departments
  and agencies of the United States and combined
  operations with military forces of allied
  nations.
• In the context of joint matters, the term
  multiple military forces refers to forces that
  involve participants from the armed forces and
  one or more of the following other departments
  and agencies of the United States the military
  forces or agencies of other countries
  non-governmental persona or entities (US Dept for
  International Development (USAID), Red Cross,
  United Nations etc.)

Self Nomination Web site

• As you answer each question, please ensure you
  specify how your duties/performance individually
  meet the definition of Joint Matters.
• Who the duty is performed with (are you working
  with personnel from other services, countries or
  other government or non-governmental departments
  and agencies, etc)
• What the duty entails (are your duties truly
  joint?)

4
Experiences to Submit

• Each change in duty title, assignment or
  location, to include extended temporary duty
  assignments, is an individual experience.
• Each experience must be entered to be considered
  on its own merit for meeting the Joint Matters
  definition
• Do not lump all dates into one submission -
  each new timeframe/experience becomes an entry
• Example
• 30 Sep 01 31 Dec 01 CENTCOM (MPA orders) -
  submit
• 1 Jan 02 15 Jan 02 CENTCOM (IDTs) do not
  submit
• 16 Jan 02 30 Sep 02 CENTCOM (MPA orders)
  submit
• 1 Oct 02 30 Sep 03 Forward deploy (MPA or CED
  orders) submit

5
Experiences to Submit

• Submit experiences for
• Reserve duty for 30 or more consecutive active
  duty days
• MPA tours, Deployment, etc
• Do not submit experiences for
• IDTs (periods that include IDTs)
• School Tours (to include in-residence DE)
• AJPME/JPME I/JPME II

6
Consider Before Submitting a JES

• Service centric duties and Service competencies,
  regardless if performed in a joint organization,
  are probably not joint - must be working joint
  issues.
• If in a joint environment - JES must include
  joint responsibility/involvement with other
  services/agencies
• Serving on a base with other Services/Nations
  present, providing services for them (munitions,
  BOS, etc) does not in itself qualify for joint
  credit
• Expeditionary support to a JTF, OIF, OEF where
  you are doing the AF missions (flying, support,
  MX, etc) does not qualify for joint. Officer
  needs to be able to prove joint involvement
  (contingency planning, national military
  planning, etc)

7
Consider Before Submitting a JES

• It is difficult to get credit when performing
  purely executive officer or instructor (unless
  teaching joint doctrine) duties. Officers
  instructing students from other Services or
  countries does not in itself constitute joint
  experience
• If the duties you are performing are the same as
  you would be doing in an all AF unit, they may
  not be joint
• Participation in Joint exercises not eligible for
  E-JDA points at this time (future spiral).

how it meets the definition of joint. This is
what the panel is going to see and it needs to
read joint, and the documents will SUPPORT your
writings. The JES is your stand- alone record to
become a Joint Qualified Officer.
