Joint Civilian Orientation Conference
Channel: Department of Defense
Date: 12/07/2018

The Joint Civilian Orientation Conference (JCOC) is the oldest and most prestigious public liaison program in the Department of Defense, and is the only outreach program sponsored by the Secretary of Defense.

The mission of JCOC is to increase public understanding of national defense by enabling American business and community leaders to directly observe and engage with the U.S. military. 

Participants are guests of the Secretary of Defense and attend briefings by senior military and civilian officials at the Pentagon.  They also gain firsthand experiences through operations and interactions with troops and military leaders stationed throughout the United States.  The program currently runs once a year and is managed by the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs).

They are leaders, humanitarians and your fellow Americans. Get to know more about the men and women who serve, who they are, what they do, and why they do it.
