Forging Excellence in the Profession of Arms
The Forge is the Australian Defence College’s online platform supporting continuous learning and professional mastery across the Defence organisation. Built around the Continuum of Joint Professional Military Education (JPME), it enables flexible, user-driven engagement with the intellectual demands of the Profession of Arms.
With the launch of Forge 3.0 in December 2023, the platform has been updated to align with JPME Continuum 2.0 (2022), refining its structure to better reflect evolving Defence learning needs.
Unlike traditional classroom-based development, The Forge offers accessible, on-demand resources that complement formal education and support research, personal growth, and professional development across Defence and national security sectors.
Users are encouraged to contribute original or curated content—including articles, videos, blogs, and more. All submissions are reviewed by the Forge team to ensure relevance and quality.
Continuously evolving through user feedback and institutional innovation, The Forge fosters a collaborative, inclusive environment committed to excellence in joint professional military education.
