The Department of Defense (DOD) Directive 1403.03 requires Senior Executive Service (SES) leaders to possess the background, ability, and skill to lead across organization and functional boundaries, as well as across the broad national security spectrum. The APEX Program is designed to provide senior executives with both a practical and theoretical understanding of the structure and processes of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the (all or select number) Combatant Commands (CCMD), the Joint Staff (JCS), and the Military Departments (MilDeps). Additionally, the program helps executive employees gain an enterprise-wide perspective that encompasses expectations, opportunities, and challenges currently facing our DOD leadership. The APEX program allows for Senior Executive “Joint Training” across OSD and the MilDeps SESs as mandated in the Defense Management Report Decision No# 974, dated December 15, 1992.
