The Army Plan (TAP) - ANSWER- The five-part Army document that
refines national strategy (NSS, NDS, & NMS) and combatant
commander's (CCDR) requirements into an executable plan. It
integrates, prioritizes, and directs execution of the Department of the
Army's (DA) Title 10 responsibilities.

- Campaign Plan (Execute & Assess; G3) - ANSWER- Five parts of The
Army Plan (TAP)
Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) -
ANSWER- A capabilities-based approach to identify current and future
capability gaps and integrate potential solutions. It focuses on
requirements/solutions development.
- Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO)
- Joint Operations Concepts (JOCs)

- Supporting Concepts - ANSWER- Joint concepts categories:
Army Concept Framework - ANSWER- How the Army documents its
fundamental ideas about future joint operations.
Joint Concept Framework - ANSWER- The current Army Operating
Concept.
- Operating
- Functional
- Supporting
- Advisory - ANSWER- The Army Concept Framework hierarchy.
- Doctrine
- Organization
- Training
- Materiel
- Leadership

- Needs Analysis / Functional Army Analysis (FAA)
- Gaps Analysis / Functional Needs Analysis (FNA)
- Solutions Analysis / Functional Solutions Analysis (FSA) - ANSWER-
The three Capabilities-Based Assessment (CBA) phases are:
(Joint/Army) Needs Analysis / Functional Army Analysis (FAA) -
ANSWER- Identifies and justifies the operational tasks conditions and
standards required to accomplish the mission or military problem.
(Joint/Army) Gaps Analysis / Functional Needs Analysis (FNA) -
ANSWER- Compares operational environment required capabilities
(future) vs. current and programmed capabilities.
(Joint/Army) Solutions Analysis / Functional Solutions Analysis (FSA) -
ANSWER- Integrates possible DOTMLPF-P solutions to address gaps
and risks.
- Urgent
- Emergent
- Deliberate (preferred lane) - ANSWER- Joint Capabilities Integration
and Development System (JCIDS) accounts for three (3) different
requirements lanes to process capability gaps:

- Non-Materiel (DOMTMLPF-P Change Request (DCR)) - ANSWER-
Results of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System
(JCIDS) process are identified as what two (2) primary types of
solutions? How are they documented?
Organization. The unit is a structure that combines people and
equipment to accomplish a common mission. - ANSWER- What
DOTMLPF-P domain is used to analyze a unit structure? Why?
Army Concept Framework (ACF) - ANSWER- What collectively
defines the Army Vision of how it will operate in the future and provides
the Conceptual Framework needed to determine the capabilities required
across the Army to ensure future force effectiveness?
Army Futures Command (AFC) (Futures and Concepts Center (FCC) &
Capability Development Integration Directorates (CDIDs)) - ANSWER-
Within the Army Force Development Process, this organization provides
sufficient clarity in the body of the document and describes the full
range of land combat functions across the range of military operations.
- AFC (FCC & CDIDs)
- Center of Excellence (CoEs)
- HQDA G-8
- Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC)
