PSCNOTE 1401
1. As noted in Ref A, SEFP Phase I will be conducted 10-12 
July 2018 to screen eligible candidates for selection to 
the Secretary Of Defense - Corporate Fellows Program 
(SDCFP) and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) 
fellowship.
2. These programs offer exceptional experience that will 
serve officers well in the most challenging segments of the 
Coast Guard. Follow-on assignments for participants will be 
at the discretion of the Vice Commandant but will likely 
target positions such as Area/District Chief of Staff, 
principal deputy or similar positions that will posture the 
member for strong Flag consideration. Amplifying program 
info is provided below. 
    A. SDCFP: Washington, DC. A senior-service level 
program where attendees are exposed to the latest trends in 
Corporate America relating to change management, adaptive 
and collaborative structures, knowledge management, the 
virtual workplace, and how to leverage the best of new 
technologies and human intellect. SDCFP officers are 
exposed to leading edge businesses reshaping organizational 
structures and methods of operations to provide innovative 
and competitive advantages, and they are able to glean the 
best of change, innovation, and leading edge business 
practices that could be implemented to transform the 
Services. SDCFP officers produce a final written report and 
provide group briefings to Secretary of Defense/Deputy 
Secretary of Defense, Service Secretaries and Chiefs, and 
over three dozen other senior OSD and Service leaders. 
Eligibility requirements are listed in paragraph 11.a of 
Ref A. 
http://prhome.defense.gov/Readiness/EducationTraining/SDEF/
    B. CFR: New York, NY. An independent, nonpartisan 
membership organization, think tank, and publisher devoted 
to a better understanding of the world and the foreign 
policy choices faced by the U.S. and other countries. The 
program exposes selected officers to a wide variety of 
strategic issues affecting U.S. foreign policy development, 
international relations, and economic security. Fellows 
participate in CFR membership programs, meet with CFR 
members and staff, and engage in research and studies. The 
CFR Studies Program fosters independent research leading to 
published articles or reports, roundtable and panel 
speaking opportunities, and briefings apprising senior USCG 
and DHS leaders of significant developments and emerging 
views on homeland security, economic, and policy issues 
within the CFR. Fellows also assist in arranging several 
politico-military trips for CFR members during the year. 
Eligibility requirements are listed in paragraph 11.a of 
Ref A. http://www.cfr.org/
