The College of Strategic and Operational Leadership offers flag-level education through two courses:
- Joint Force Maritime Component Commander (JFMCC) course
- Combined Force Maritime Component Commander (CFMCC) course
The Navy’s C/JFMCC courses are executive level PME/JPME for U.S. (JFMCC) and International (CFMCC) flag and general officers designed to prepare them for theater-level combat leadership and broad perspective of operational and strategic levels of war. The College runs two or three annually with JFMCC courses normally done in Newport and the CFMCC courses within a specific area of responsibility.
The next Combined Force Maritime Component Commander (CFMCC) Flag course is scheduled to be held in Manama, Bahrain (COMUSNAVCENT) 31 October - 04 November 2010.
