Depot & Arsenal Executive Leadership Program (DAELP)
DAELP is an executive development program serving the commanders and senior civilian leaders of our Nation’s Depot and Arsenal facilities, focused at the O-6 or civilian equivalent career level (O-5 by exception). The program was established in 2003 by the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC). DAELP is administered by the Institute for Defense and Business (IDB) and delivered in partnership with the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. The seventh cohort of DAELP graduated May 21, 2010, the eighth cohort begins November 1, 2010 please contact the LOGTECH Program Office or DAELP staff if interested in participating in the upcoming program.
DAELP integrates leadership development and management concepts with multiple delivery methods (traditional classroom teaching in residence, online learning, business study tours, and corporate residencies) to provide an exceptional learning experience.
The program consists of 5 in-residence periods, three academic residencies on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, one touring residency focused on benchmarking, and a 2-4 week internship with a world class private or public sector organization. Additionally, each DAELP participant is enrolled in a Lean, Six Sigma Champion Certification program provided by North Carolina State University. DAELP participants complete Lean, Six Sigma in-residence and online instruction as part of the LSS cerification and an integral part of the DAELP curriculum.
DAELP was originally designed for the U.S. Army Materiel Command, but the program has grown in scope and stature. In addition to U.S. Army uniformed military and civilian participation, DAELP now includes representation from all branches, services and various agencies throughout the government. DAELP is considered a commander's course prerequisite for Army Materiel Command and Marine Corps Logisitcs Command participants, and has been widely attended by uniform and civilian executives from the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) organizations and agencies, and private sector executives.
Congratulations to the DAELP VII Graduates!
