The Joint Civilian Orientation Conference (JCOC) is a program sponsored by the Secretary of Defense for civilian public opinion leaders interested in growing their knowledge of the military and national defense issues. JCOC is the oldest existing Pentagon outreach program having been held more than 76 times since 1948. JCOC participants attend Pentagon briefings by Department of Defense (DoD) military and civilian leadership and
then join the military in the field observing exercise and participating in training. JCOC alumni are encouraged to share their experiences with their circles of influence when they return home. It is DoD policy that fostering and furthering good relations with communities at home and abroad is in the best interest of the Department of Defense. A principal goal is to increase understanding of the mission of the Department of Defense and the U.S. defense posture and capabilities by increasing public exposure to, and understanding of, military personnel, facilities, equipment, and programs.
