DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY SERVICE SPECIFIC EDUCATION AND
TRAINING FUNCTIONS
The Department of the Navy was responsible for the analysis of institutional
education and training functions deemed to be Service specific and not within the Education
and Training Joint Cross-Service Group scope of analysis. The Education and Training Joint
Cross-Service Group was responsible for the analysis of active component/reserve
component education and training institutions, Defense Agency schools, and civilian
institutions, with the exceptions of healthcare and intelligence professionals' education and
training, which were covered by the Medical and Intelligence Joint Cross-Service Groups,
respectively. The Education and Training Joint Cross-Service Group was organized into four
subgroups: Flight Training, Professional Development Education, Specialized Skill Training,
