In the latest episode of Voices from DARPA, we explore DARPA’s Service Chiefs Fellowship Program (SCFP), a 12-week immersive experience that brings together participants from various backgrounds across the Department of Defense (DOD) and other U.S. agencies.
Its dual core purposes are to educate future leaders from military services and other agencies, helping them infuse some of the DARPA magic into their home base, and to inform DARPA program managers and performers, many of whom lack military or government backgrounds, about the mission and the needs of current warfighters.
This blending of ideas fosters new connections and can even lead participants to return to the agency, as exemplified by Rob McHenry, DARPA's current deputy director and the agency’s first Service Chiefs Fellow.
