• Attempt to fix problems caused by inter-service rivalry, which had emerged 

during the Vietnam War, contributed to the catastrophic failure of the Iranian 

hostage rescue mission in 1980, and which were still evident in the invasion 

of Grenada in 1983.

• Streamlined the military chain of command, which now runs from the 

President through the Secretary of Defense directly to combatant 

commanders (CCDRs, all four-star generals or admirals), bypassing the 

service chiefs. The service chiefs were assigned to an advisory role to the 

President and the Secretary of Defense as well as given the responsibility 

for training and equipping personnel for the unified combatant commands. 

• Establishment of Personnel management of officers- dramatically changed 

the personnel management of military officers. Many officers are assigned 

to Joint Duty positions (occasionally more than once), and are educated in 

Department of Defense Joint Professional Military Education (JPME) 

schools as part of their career development and progression.
