Direct commission officer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A direct commission officer (DCO) is a United States uniformed officer who has received an appointed commission without the typical prerequisites for achieving a commission, such as attending a four-year service academy, a four-year or two-year college ROTC program, or one of the officer candidate school or officer training school programs, the latter OCS/OTS programs typically slightly over three months in length.

Civilians who have special skills that are critical to sustaining military operations, supporting troops, health and scientific study may receive a direct commission upon entering service. These officers usually occupy leadership positions in the following areas: law, science, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nurse corps, intelligence, supply-logistics-transportation, engineering, public affairs, chaplain corps, oceanography, merchant marine affairs, and others.

The U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard have more extensive active and reserve component DCO programs than the other three U.S. armed services.

The U.S. Marine Corps does not offer a DCO program presently; Navy officers provide medical and chaplain services, and chief warrant officers (CWO) and limited duty officers (LDO) serve as occupational field experts.

The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps exclusively use a DCO program to commission their officers.

Depending on his or her specialization and duty status, a DCO attends either Officer Indoctrination School (OIS), Officer Development School (ODS), Direct Commission Course (DCC), or Direct Commission Officer School (DCO School), which vary from two weeks in duration for certain reserve DCOs to five weeks in duration for active-duty DCOs.

The Direct Commission Officer Programs represent one of the primary ways that the United States Coast Guard meets critical specialty needs. Direct Commission Officer is an excellent path for highly motivated individuals with specialized education and experience to become part of the Coast Guard Officer Corps. Direct Commission Officer Programs offer pathways in a variety of fields including Aviation, Electronics and Information Engineering, Intelligence Law, Medicine and more. My name is ENS Luis Caquias and I'm stationed in Portsmouth, VA. Again, I've always have had an interest in information systems and computers and technology By going the Direct Commissioned Officer route that guaranteed that I can stay within that field. It meant to me that when I did become an ENS I would still be involved in technology and computers. LT JG Audrey Ested with the Intelligence Coordination center out of Washington, D.C. Serving as an Officer in the United States Coast Guard means a lot to me. From my experiences with other Junior Officers and the other branches of the military, the Coast Guard places more trust and responsibility with their Junior Officers. The Direct Commission Officer Program varies according to your specialty but, all entrants both civilian and military must have appropriate backgrounds either academic or experience, for the specialty to which they are applying. There is a basic orientation course of five weeks which focuses on the skills and responsibilities of Officers in the United States Coast Guard. My name is LT Sabah Bhat and I'm a United States Coast Guard Judge Advocate. Before heading off to Direct Commission Officer School I was really apprehensive about meeting all the physical standards and being fit. It was it was rough it was definitely a challenge but, it wasn't as bad as I think everybody immediately thinks of when they think of your initial military training. It was actually pretty good because you get in really great shape, you get to workout with your classmates, and then you have five weeks of training as a Lawyer. There are a few positions in life that carry the responsibility, prestige and opportunity to contribute to a team in so many ways as an Officer in the Coast Guard. In only two months I'm serving as an Officer. I've already experienced times where I'm looked upon to make the decision and to make the call, which is something I never experienced before. If you've got the experience and the drive to become an Officer in the United States Coast Guard, if you were born ready visit GoCoastGuard.com to learn more about the program requirements and career opportunities for Direct Commission Officers.

U.S. Army Active and Reserve Direct Commission Officers

Overview

The Direct Commissioning Program (DCP) of the United States Army is a program that allows individuals with specialized skills and education to join the Army as officers without having to go through the traditional Officer Candidate School (OCS) or Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) programs.

Eligibility

The DCP is open to individuals with specialized skills and education in fields such as medicine, law, ministry, engineering, and cyber operations. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old, and have completed the appropriate education and training for their chosen career field.

Process

The DCP application process involves submitting an application package that includes a resume, transcripts, letters of recommendation, and other required documents. Applicants will also undergo a security clearance and background check. Once accepted, they will attend a five-week Direct Commission Officer Basic Course (DCOBC) and then report to their assigned unit.

Training

The DCOBC is a course designed to provide newly commissioned officers with the basic skills and knowledge necessary to perform their duties as an Army officer. The course covers topics such as military leadership, customs and courtesies, military law, and Army values.

Benefits

As an officer in the U.S. Army, DCP participants receive a competitive salary and benefits package, including healthcare, retirement benefits, and educational opportunities. They also have the opportunity to serve their country and make a difference in their communities.

U.S. Navy Direct Commission Officers

The United States Navy has an extensive DCO program. As of October 2019, the Navy consolidated its two-week reserve training program (Direct Commission Officer Indoctrination Course, DCOIC) with its five-week Active Duty training program (Officer Development School, ODS), also at Newport, Rhode Island.[1] Officer Candidate School (OCS), the 12-week program that college graduates wishing to join the U.S. Navy as active duty line officers must complete, is also located at Newport.

Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) of 2005 decreed that the Navy Reserve officer DCO School be relocated from Naval Aviation Schools Command at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida to Naval Education and Training Center Newport, Rhode Island effective January 2007. As a result of BRAC and other budgetary-driven actions, the U.S. Navy consolidated many of its schools at NETC, Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island.

The Navy is currently[when?] considering merging DCO School, Limited Duty Officer School, and Mustang University into one contiguous officer training program—all located in Newport, Rhode Island. As of January 2007 all Navy Reserve LDO and CWO Officers attend the same two-week course of instruction in Newport. DCO officers attend a rigorous five-week course.

The U.S. Navy Reserve Direct Commissioning Program allows university-educated professionals, between ages 19 to 35 (or older, in some cases), the opportunity to be appointed as an officer in the Navy Reserve. Most DCOs hold advanced degrees (MAs, MBAs, MSs, JDs, MDs, DOs, PharmDs and Ph.Ds.) and/or significant civilian work experience. In recent years, the number of direct commissions offered by the Navy Reserve has increased due to the need for skilled officers to serve as Individual Augmentees (IAs) in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Direct Commissioning Program serves the expanded needs of the Navy in certain officer skill areas listed below in alphabetical order by category:

Unrestricted Line Officer

  • Special Warfare Officer

Restricted Line Officer (including Special Duty Officer)

  • Aerospace Engineering Duty Officer (AEDO)
    • NOTE: Unlike AEDOs in the Regular Navy, who must first be qualified Naval Aviators or Naval Flight Officers with at least five years operational flying experience in naval aircraft, direct commission AEDOs in the Navy Reserve are not required to have any military flight experience
  • Aerospace Maintenance Duty Officer (AMDO)
  • Engineering Duty Officer
  • Foreign area officer (Country or Regional Specialists, Non-Intelligence)
  • Human Resources Officer
  • Information Professional (typically, personnel have Computer Science degrees and extensive industry experience)
  • Information Warfare Officer (formerly Cryptology Officer)
  • Cyber Warfare Engineer
  • Intelligence Officer
  • Merchant Marine Officer
  • Meteorology/Oceanography Officer (METOC)
  • Public Affairs Officer

Staff Corps Officer

Limited Duty Officer (Various specialties)

Warrant Officer (Various specialties)

Some skill areas may not have openings each year. Each year, skill area recruiting quotas are promulgated for recruiters to fill. Upon completion of their training regimen, DCOs serve on nearly every type of ship in the fleet and at shore establishments around the globe. Navy DCOs are forward deployed and are currently serving on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are an integral part of the Navy's role in the War on Terror.

U.S. Coast Guard Direct Commission Officers

The United States Coast Guard uses the DCO program to bring specialized skills and backgrounds into the Coast Guard commissioned officer corps. The DCO course is conducted by the Officer Candidate School, located at the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. Depending on program and background, the course is three, four, or five weeks long.

There are seven Direct Commission Officer programs:

Some DCO programs may not have openings each year. While DCOs are expected to fill specific specialty areas, they are not specifically precluded from crossing into other operational or support billets in follow-on assignments.

U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Direct Commission Officers

The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Direct Commissioning Program allows university-educated professionals, between ages 19 to 45 (or older, in some cases), the opportunity to be appointed as an officer in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. All candidates must complete a two-week Officer Basic Course (OBC) before entering active duty.[2] Most PHSCC DCOs hold advanced degrees (DDSs, DMDs, MSs, MDs, DOs, PharmDs and Ph.Ds.) and significant civilian work experience, and the minimum in many programs is a master's degree from a duly accredited program. One of the fields requiring only a baccalaureate degree is engineering. The Direct Commissioning Program serves the expanded needs of the PHS in certain officer skill areas listed below:

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps Direct Commission Officers

The NOAA Corps Direct Commissioning Program allows university-educated professionals, between ages 19 to 35 (or older, in some cases), the opportunity to be appointed as an officer in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps. All must complete a 19-week basic officer training class (BOTC),[3] at the United States Coast Guard Officer Candidate School at the United States Coast Guard Academy before entering active duty. Many NOAA Corps DCOs hold advanced degrees (MS, MAs and Ph.Ds.) and significant civilian work experience, though the minimum requirement is a baccalaureate degree. The Direct Commissioning Program serves the expanded needs of the NOAA Corps in certain officer skill areas listed below:
