The first serial of the Caribbean Junior Command and Staff Course (then the Jamaica Junior Command and Staff Course (JJCSC)) was held at the JDF Training Depot Newcastle from 12 September to 17 December 1993. From 1993 to 2006, there has been a serial of CJCSC conducted each autumn or spring.
During the graduation ceremony of the 1999 serial of JJCSC, the Chief of Staff of the Jamaica Defence Force announced that effective the year 2000, the course will be titled the Caribbean Junior Command and Staff Course to better reflect the Caribbean participation and support of the staff and command training activity.
In 2009, the course was moved to its present facility at Moneague Training Camp.
