Who are the key players in Force Development Process Phase 1, Develop Required Capabilities?
Phase 1, Develop Required Capabilities
In which phase of the Force Development process is a materiel solution determined to fill a capability
gap?
1) Materiel Solutions Analysis
2) Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR)
3) Engineering and Manufacturing Development
4) Production and Deployment
5) Operations and Sustainment (the longest)
Five (5) phases of Defense Acquisition System (DAS)
Milestones A, B, C
Three (3) milestones of Defense Acquisition System (DAS)
Material Development Decision (MDD)
The entry point into the acquisition process for all defense acquisition products.
Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR)
In materiel development and acquisition, the purpose of this phase is to reduce technology, engineering,
,integration, and life-cycle cost risk to the point that a decision to contract for Engineering &
Manufacturing Development can be made with confidence in successful program execution for
development, production, and sustainment.
Operations and Support (O&S)
In materiel development and acquisition, the objective of this phase is the execution of a support
program that meets materiel readiness and operational support performance requirements and sustains
the system in the most cost-effective manner over its total life-cycle.
Acquisition Program Baseline (APB)
This forms the balance of risk between cost, schedule and performance agreed to between the Program
Manager (PM), the Program Executive Office (PEO), and the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA).
Program Executive Office (PEO)
This organization/entity is responsible for programmatics (materiel acquisition cost, schedule, and total
system performance) and for the PPBE necessary to guide assigned programs through each Defense
Acquisition System Milestone.
Key Performance Parameters (KPPs)
The Capability Development Document and the Capability Production Document contains a required
number of these to capture the minimum operational effectiveness and suitability attributes (testable or
measurable characteristics) needed to achieve the overall desired capabilities for the system during the
applicable increment.
Acquisition Categories (ACAT)
In materiel development and acquisition, these category designations determine the level of review, and
who will make the milestone decisions.
Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC)
This organization/entity validates all Army documents for JCIDS prior to submission to the Joint Staff, J-8
Deputy Director for Requirements for review and approval of joint requirements and Assistant Secretary
of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) (ASA(AL&T)) for materiel development.
J8, Vice Director (VDJ-8)
, This staff member is the gatekeeper of the JCIDS process at the joint level.
Systems:
- Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS)
- Defense Acquisition System (DAS)
- Planning, Programming, Budgeting Execution (PPBE) System
Processes:
- Force Development Process - Force Integration process
The Army's Force Management Model depicts which three (3) DoD Systems and two (2) Army processes?
Force Development Process
As the Army's organizational design process, this five-phased process determines gaps, proposes new or
modified organizational designs, and produces the Army's force structure.
Develop Capabilities
The Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDs) is most closely associated with which
force development phase?
Design Organizations
The Force Design Update (FDU) is initiated in which phase of the Force Development Process?
Phase 3, Develop Organizational Models
HQDA conducts the Force Integration Functional Area (FIFA) Analysis at the beginning of which phase of
the force development process?
Force Design Update (FDU)
Generally developed by branch proponents, what package formally recommends a new or modified
organizational structure?
Tables of Organization and Equipment (TOE)
This and the Basis of Issue Plan (BOIP) are finalized in the Develop Organizational Models Phase of the
Force Development Process.
