3.2. To identify positions that provide officers significant experience in joint matters as joint duty assignments (JDAs) and to publish a list of such positions. Of those positions, identify positions that require the incumbent to be previously trained, educated and experienced in joint matters, or at a minimum the position would be greatly enhanced by such an incumbent, as critical JDAs in accordance with statute. Assignments for joint training or education, or assignments in an officer's own Military Department, are excluded and will not be designated as JDAs.
3.3. To assign officers to JDAs for a duration that provides stability to the joint organization. General and flag officers shall be assigned to JDAs for not less than 2 years; all others shall be assigned for not less than 3 years.

3.5. To designate selected officers filling a JDA who have completed JPME or who have a critical occupational specialty (COS) as "JSO nominees."
3.6. To designate "critical JDA positions" and to fill critical JDAs with JSOs; and to fill at least one half of all JDA positions with JSOs or JSO nominees.
3.7. To assign quality officers to JDAs. The qualifications of officers assigned to JDAs should be such that the promotion rates of those officers meet the objectives of 10 U.S.C (reference (k)).
