Bridging Education, Innovation, and Industry: JADO Students Visit Booz Allen

Students and faculty from the Marine Corps Command and Staff College’s Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO) Advanced Studies Program recently had the opportunity to visit Booz Allen Hamilton’s facility in Lorton, Virginia. The visit provided a valuable forum for dialogue and hands-on engagement focused on emergent and disruptive technologies shaping the future operating environment.

Booz Allen’s willingness to host the group offered participants insight into how industry approaches innovation, problem-solving, and integration across domains. Through discussions with subject-matter experts, students deepened their understanding of cutting-edge capabilities and explored how these technologies can support operational advantage in increasingly complex and contested environments.

Experiences like this are essential to bridging the gap between academic study, operational application, and industry innovation. They also reinforce the importance of collaboration between military professionals and private-sector partners as the Joint Force continues to adapt to rapidly evolving challenges.

The Marine Corps Command and Staff College is grateful to Booz Allen for their hospitality and commitment to professional military education. Their support plays a meaningful role in developing thoughtful, adaptive leaders prepared to serve the Fleet Marine Force and the broader Joint Force. Partnerships like these help ensure tomorrow’s leaders are ready to innovate, collaborate, and succeed.
