Letter from the presidet I am proud to preset the Joit Special Operatios Uiversity s (JSOU) Academic Year 215 FactBook, our aual summary of courses, erollmets ad achievemets. As stakeholders i SOF educatio, my itet is to provide you the focus ad scope of our activities for your aalysis ad feedback. I my opeig remarks to our studets, I remid them that JSOU is their learig istitutio ad, as such, they must be ivolved i the what ad the how of our teachig. I urge you to do likewise ad participate i shapig JSOU to be the uiversity our special operatios commuity expects! Academic Year (AY) 215 saw a levelig of the remarkable growth JSOU has experieced over the past 5 years. While total attedace icreased by over 1, studets (+1%), this is due primarily to a correspodig erollmet icrease i courses coducted exclusively through o-lie distace learig. While I remai committed to a bleded learig format for most curricula, this icrease was welcomed ad idicates a tred I pla to cotiue. Studet cotact hours cofirm a similar levelig tred although cotact hours from studets i traditioal residet courses icreased cosiderably (+35%). This ca be attributed to two factors, a icrease i the umber of formal course offerigs (ow at 52 with more i developmet) ad the coversio of several mobile educatio team (MET) programs ito formal courses. Overall, we averaged a solid 34 hours per studet for all scheduled activities (excludig distace learig), a 1% icrease from the previous academic year. A major AY15 success was the establishmet of a Desig Thikig academic program. This was tasked by the US- SOCOM Commader i Jauary 215, ad quickly evolved ito a three course curriculum. Erollmet rose steadily throughout the year with several SOCOM Directors, Compoets ad TSOCs requestig mobile team versios for their staffs ad leadership. All were well received ad I aticipate demad for these courses will icrease sigificatly i AY16. O the accredited curricula side, two ew certificates are uder developmet: the 4-course Advaced Special Operatios Itelligece Certificate ad the 3-course Advaced SOF Chaplaicy Certificate. Both will award postgraduate level credit ad have pilot courses scheduled i AY16. These are i additio to the Foudatios of SOF Certificate that cotiues to be popular ad is curretly uder review by Norwich Uiversity for partial iclusio ito their Masters of Iteratioal Relatios program. Educatio for the SOF elisted force cotiues to thrive. A complete re-look ad update of the Joit SOF Seior Elisted Academy curricula was accomplished i record time ad full implemetatio is scheduled with Class 2 eterig i early AY16. This complete revisio provides a improved studet cetered curriculum, adds a orgaizatioal leadership Capstoe project ad emphasizes the seior elisted leader s role i the future SOCOM eterprise. It also facilitates better itegratio of Iteratioal studets ito the course ad icreases familiarizatio with Preserve Our Force ad Families (POTFF) programs. Demad for the Career Educatio Program o-lie courses for E6 ad E7s (CEP 1, CEP2) cotiues to grow ad both will be fully reviewed ad updated i AY16. Summit cotiues as the keystoe of SOF seior elisted educatio, as demostrated by most Compoet ad TSOC Seior Elisted Leaders couted amog its alumi. The JSOU Iteratioal Egagemet curriculum cotiued to support all Theater SOCs with total erollmet remaiig just uder 2, iteratioal studets from 71 OCONUS courses ad 8 local courses. Of ote was JSOU s leadership i several key programs, icludig the Priciples of Resistace i Moder Warfare semiars for SOCEUR, a series of Strategic Semiars with Colombia s Cetro Regioal de Estudios Estratégicos e Seguridad (or CREES), the Fuerzas Comado Seior Officers Semiar i support of SOCSOUTH ad the SOCNORTH Regioal Symposium o Combattig Trasatioal Orgaized Crime. JSOU developed ad was approved for a fourth Couterterrorism Fellowship Program (CTFP) course, aimed at the GO/FO levels, to complete a career-log array of CbT focused courses. I early AY15, JSOU was formally admitted as a NATO Partership Traiig ad Educatio Cetre (PTEC) ad was successfully reviewed for formal NATO accreditatio of our Iteratioal Courses. Durig the Summer 215, JSOU re-established the SOF Educatio Coferece as a aual evet, the first held i four years. This educatio workshop was opeed by Geeral Votel ad provided a forum for brigig together SOF educators to discuss priorities ad methodologies. This year s theme was Providig Iovative Educatio through Ulimited Access Learig, a prelude to operatig effectively i JSOU s ew academic facility. Although occupacy of the ew facility was expected i the Fall 215, curret estimates for opeig have slipped util mid- 216. However, as the structure takes fial shape, it promises to be a sigificat additio to USSOCOM s growig educatio capability, providig a ideal veue for a variety of courses, semiars, workshops ad professioal developmet activities for may years to come. The process for postgraduate level accreditatio cotiues as a high priority although slightly behid the aticipated pace. A major hurdle was overcome i August 215 whe the Special Operatios Commad Requiremets Board (SOCREB) approved the JSOU 2.6 cocept, the trasformatio of JSOU ito a postgraduate accredited istitutio. This was further edorsed at a later SOCREB that approved the mapower growth required to maitai higher level accreditatio, develop the correspodig postgraduate curricula ad provide the support fuctios ecessary to operate effectively i the ew facility. Directly supportig these efforts is the pheomeal growth i the US- SOCOM Library, ow operated by JSOU. With over 15 scholarly databases, 9, collectio items ad a growig o-lie ad e-book capability, it provides a SOF-wide eterprise resource. Combied with sufficiet fudig already programmed for FY16 ad FY17, the opeig of the ew JSOU Academic Buildig ad a revised JSOU Charter curretly i staffig, AY16 will see the culmiatio of years of plaig ad the fulfillmet of the JSOU visio described by all previous USSOCOM Commaders.
