JDDE Distribution Academy (DA)
USTRANSCOM has created a JDDE Distribution Academy (DA). The DA is a learning program designed to educate and train personnel so they understand distribution operations and can apply supply chain principles throughout the DPO's span of influence. The DA specifically addresses learning by aligning education and training objectives/courseware to the desired skill-sets defined in the JDDE Competency Model. The DA is a two-phased learning program.
- Phase 1 of the Distribution Academy is a three-block USTRANSCOM-focused Introduction Curriculum.
- Block 1 — Introduction course consisting of a DPO Overview, Commander's Guidance, Strategic Plan, USTRANSCOM Concepts and Initiatives, and staff officer training.
- Block 2 — Introductory Supply Chain Management Course provided by the Industrial College of the Armed Forces that targets USTRANSCOM JDDE billets.
- Block 3 — Fusion Center Overview for those personnel manning USTRANSCOM's Fusion Center.
- Phase 2 is a core Supply Chain Management curriculum that provides ongoing professional development to joint logisticians. This is currently being stood-up at USTRANSCOM and will be recommended to other joint logisticians across the DoD.
- Leverages university programs, commercial Web-based courses, and DoD offered courses (Web-based and instructor-led) to ensure our personnel receive the education and training they need.
- The team is currently working to stand up Phase 2.
