The United States Navy Permanent Military Professor program was created to establish a cadre of career Naval Officers in the grades of captain and commander, with both doctoral degrees and extensive operational experience, who can instruct and lead at the Navy's education institutions until their statutory retirement.  PMP officers meet the demand for senior military academics at the United States Naval Academy, the Naval Postgraduate School, and the Naval War College.  Here they instruct and shape both entry level and advanced portions of each respective school’s curricula.
