U.S. Military Leadership Programs
U.S. Military Leadership Program (USMLP)
Founded in 2019, JINSA’s U.S. Military Leaders Program educates elite, active duty U.S. military officers about Israel’s unique security challenges and the importance of a robust U.S.-Israel security relationship.
The cornerstone of the program is an eight-day trip to Israel for up to 30 military officers who come from highly selective colleges and educational programs within their respective services and are on career tracks to become generals or admirals.
U.S. Military Leaders Fellowship Program
JINSA’s U.S. Military Fellowship program launched in April 2020. The program’s mission is to educate elite U.S. military officers based in the Washington metropolitan area about the importance of a strong U.S.-Israel defense and security relationship as well as vital issues in the Middle East impacting the United States and Israel.
Military officers from all services convene for monthly policy lectures covering a range of topics relevant to U.S. national security. To facilitate our mission, JINSA partners with senior subject-matter experts to educate our cohort of rising officers.
JINSA’s U.S. CENTCOM/SOCOM Program will be inaugurated in 2026, which will see leaders in the U.S. Central Command and Special Operations Command visit Israel and engage with their counterparts in the IDF.
