Special Circumstances
Per AR 350-1, 3-37.e, Government Civilians may attend resident or non-resident CGSOC on a space available basis. If
the individual is also an Army basic branch officer and completes the 10-month resident CGSOC, the individual will
receive JPME I/MEL 4 credit. If a functional area or special branch officer attends the 10-month resident CGSOC as a
Civilian, the individual must also complete the functional area or special branch credentialing course to receive
JPME I/MEL 4 credit. Additionally, government Civilians who are also Army basic branch officers and complete
resident Sister Service ILE will receive JPME I/MEL 4 credit. If a functional area or special branch officer attends
resident Sister Service ILE as a Civilian, the individual must also complete the functional area or special branch
credentialing course to receive JPME I/MEL 4 credit. Government Civilians who are Army officers and complete
resident or non-resident CGSOC Common Core must also complete their respective ILE credentialing course to
receive JPME I/MEL 4 credit. Request to enroll in resident or non-resident CGSOC should be submitted to TRADOC

Per AR 350-1, 3-29.j, “Officers will not enroll in other than Army schools without written approval of HQDA, DCS, G–
3/5/7 Director of Training. Request for enrollment in other than Army schools should be forwarded through the HRC
(AC and USAR officers) or the NGB (ARNG officers) for recommendation before forwarding to HQDA DCS G–3/5/7 for
decision. If approved for enrollment, officers successfully completing other Services’ Intermediate Staff Colleges and
SSCs accredited in accordance with CJCSI 1800.01D will be awarded JPME credit accordingly upon fulfilling Army
JPME requirements. For example, Army officers completing sister service non-resident ILE must complete CGSOC
Advance Operations Course (AOC) to receive JPME 1 MEL 4 credit.”
