EDUCATION at Their Command

by Black Issues , November 7, 2002

Like most students attending NDU, students attending the JFSC come from all branches of the military as well as related government agencies including the FBI, CIA as well as the Department of State and the Department of Defense. And although the college has a very practical element, Mercer believes strongly that the JFSC is involved in more than just training.

"Students learn to analyze and assess issues and develop a course of action," Mercer says. "The training aspect comes into play when students are put in a learning environment, such as simulations, to apply their knowledge. We train, and we educate."
