What factors are taken into consideration for PME school slating?
All DSLDP participants must attend a PME school outside one’s Component. This requirement immerses the participant in a different culture, and is one way to build the Enterprise-wide Perspective necessary to lead in the national security environment today and into the future. Participants will state their preference in rank order and explain the rationale in the Statement of Interest. Components will identify which school they recommend for each nominee on the Supervisory Assessment form. Once nomination packages are received at the DoD executive-level Selection Board, the participant’s experience, background, and career aspirations are closely examined and aligned with the requirements of each of the Senior Service Colleges (SSCs) and their program objectives. Ultimately, this executive-level Selection Board makes the final slating decision, subject to acceptance by the SSC.
