COURSES:  STRATEGY AND WAR, NATIONAL SECURITY DECISION MAKING, AND 
JOINT MARITIME OPERATIONS.  EACH COURSE NORMALLY REQUIRES ONE ACADEMIC 
YEAR TO COMPLETE.  IT IS AVAILABLE TO OFFICERS, SELECTED COMMAND MASTER 
CHIEFS (CMDCM), AND SELECTED DEFENSE DEPARTMENT CIVILIANS.  THERE IS NO 
TUITION FEE, AND COURSE MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED ON A LOAN BASIS.

RESIDENT COLLEGE OF NAVAL COMMAND AND STAFF PROGRAM IN NEWPORT, RI.
SEMINARS FOR EACH COURSE MEET ONE EVENING PER WEEK FOR APPROXIMATELY
35 WEEKS, COMMENCING IN EARLY SEPTEMBER 2009 AND ENDING IN MAY 2010.
