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.

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.
