This section sets assignment rules for officers graduating from specified National Defense University schools. Joint-qualified officers must receive joint-duty assignments, and a high proportion of other graduates must receive joint assignments, subject to stated exceptions.

(a) Joint-qualified officers. The Secretary of Defense must ensure that each joint-qualified officer graduating from a school listed in subsection (c) receives a joint-duty assignment as the next assignment, unless the Secretary waives that requirement in the individual case. (b) Other officers. (1) The Secretary must ensure that more than half of graduates from a listed school who are not joint qualified receive a joint-duty assignment, or, if the Secretary authorizes it in an individual case, another joint assignment, as their next assignment or, as paragraph (2) allows, their second assignment. (2) If necessary for efficient personnel management, the Secretary may establish procedures allowing up to half of the officers covered by paragraph (1) to receive that assignment as their second rather than first assignment. (c) Covered schools. The schools are (1) the National War College, (2) the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy, and (3) the Joint Forces Staff College. (d) Other-than-residence exception. (1) Subsection (a) does not apply to an officer graduating after completing a listed school program other than in residence. (2) Subsection (b) does not apply to a group graduating after completing such a program other than in residence.

(2)

The Secretary may, if the Secretary determines that it is necessary to do so for the efficient management of officer personnel, establish procedures to allow up to one-half of the officers subject to the assignment requirement in paragraph (1) to be assigned to such an assignment as their second (rather than first) assignment after such graduation from a school referred to in paragraph (1).
