ERETAI Connect · Invitation-only · Credential-verified
ERETAI Connect is the purpose-built professional home for military-educated operational planners and strategists.
Eligibility
Who Belongs Here
You earned your place through one of the most demanding educational experiences in the U.S. military. Whether you graduated from SAMS, SAASS, SAW, MAWS, JAWS, BSAP, JADS — or built equivalent expertise through years of operational planning practice — this community exists for you.
ERETAI Connect is invitation-only and credential-verified. Every member has been confirmed through one of three verification paths. This protects the trust that makes the community valuable.
Three Verification Paths
Student / Alumni
Currently enrolled in or a graduate of a Military Operational Planning and Strategy School Program.
Faculty
Current or former instructors and program directors.
Practitioner
Demonstrated operational planning or strategy experience at the joint, interagency, or combatant-command level, vouched for by an existing member.

The Product
What Connect Is
Profiles, forums, messaging, media, event scheduling, cohort-specific spaces, and the tools a verified community needs to solve its own problems — starting with the most fundamental one: knowing each other exist.
Connect is also the gateway to everything else ERETAI offers. Commons, Calibrate, Continue, Coaching, Consulting, Conduit, and Compass all begin here.
The Difference
Some of this may look familiar. The difference is that ERETAI Connect exists for its members, is governed by its members, and answers to no algorithm, no advertiser, and no outside interest.
Request Your Invitation
Verification is straightforward. If you are eligible, you are approved.
