APPLICABILITY AND SCOPE

This Instruction applies to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Military Departments (including the Coast Guard at all times, including when it is a service in the Department of Homeland Security by agreement with that Department), the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands, the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense, the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities, and all other organizational entities in the Department of Defense (hereafter referred to collectively as the "DoD Components").

The JDA Program is a DNI leadership development program consisting of two components. First, the temporary detail or permanent appointment of employees to JDA positions that provide substantive professional, technical, or leadership experience in more than one IC element, department, or organization. Second, the Joint Leadership Development Program (JLDP), a training program designed to develop the workforce who will lead with a community perspective and strategic outlook. Completion of both components of the JDA Program will result in JDA Program certification. However, completion of the JLDP is waived until such time as the JLDP is established and implemented.

The JDA program is implemented within DoD by this Instruction. The USD(I) will work cooperatively with the Director of National Intelligence to facilitate synchronization and integration of the JDA program with personnel programs within the Defense Intelligence Components. The JDA program includes all personnel covered in the Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System (DCIPS) unless excluded as provided for in this Instruction. All requests for detailees external to the Department to perform duties in the fields of intelligence, counterintelligence, or security not covered by this Instruction shall be processed in accordance with procedures outlined in DoD Directive 1000.17 (Reference (e)).

JDA positions shall be limited to those classified at General Grade (GG) 13 and above (or equivalent).

This Instruction does not apply to the Active and Reserve members of the Military Departments.
