for Senior Education and Fellowship Programs, 02 officers for CIC, 
15 officers for MIT-SDM, 40 officers for MIT-SLOAN, and 07 officers 
for ODNI.
3. IAW Ref B, upon completion of the SEFP, officers should expect
to be placed in billets that take full advantage of this experience.
In addition to internal CG billets, this could result in high
visibility assignments throughout the government including

Affairs, or DOD Combatant Commands. Officers attending programs
with a specific career track (Eisenhower Acquisition, MIT-Sloan, MIT-SDM,
CIC, ODNI, etc.) should expect a follow-on assignment that will make full

minimum Active Duty obligation of three months for each month
of education.
