F102 Caps Gaps and Solutions Flashcards
What is JCIDS?
used to identify requirements (needs); capability shortfalls (gaps) and potential capability solutions
Who is the approval body for JCIDS validating requirements?
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC), managed by the J8,
The three categories of joint concepts are:
- Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO)
- Joint Operating Concepts (JOCs)
- Supporting Concepts
The Army documents its fundamental ideas about future joint operations in the ____ ________ ________,
Army Concept Framework
The current Army Operating Concept is :
“The U.S. Army in Multi-Domain Operations 2028”
How the Army as part of the Joint Force militarily competes, penetrates, dis-integrates and exploits adversaries in the future
What is the hierarchy of the Army Concept Framework?
- Operating Concept (AOC): “Vision” “The U.S. Army in Multi-Domain Operations 2028”
- Functional Concepts (capabilities by WfF)
- Supporting Concepts (Medical, Aviation, Cyber and EW, Echelon above BDE, SOF, Space)
- Advisory Concepts (White Papers, CONOPS, O&Os)
Collectively, the ____ ________ _________ defines the _____ ______ of how it will operate in the future and provides the __________ _________ needed to determine the capabilities required across the Army to ensure future force effectiveness.
Army Concept Framework
Army’s Vision
Conceptual Framework
Define letters of DOTMLPF-P
Doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership & education, personnel, facilities- policy
Capabilities are investigated and analyzed for solutions within the “domains” of ________, ____________, ________, ________, ____________, __________, _________, and ________.
DOTMLPF-P
What are the three Capabilities-Based Assessment phases and their purposes?
NEEDS ANALYSIS(FAA) - What are the required capabilities and why do I need them for the mission?
GAP ANALYSIS(FNA) - How good are we doing it?
SOLUTIONS ANALYSIS (FSA) - What should we do about it?
What are the 3 JCIDS Requirement Lanes?
Ongoing Contingency Lane
Anticipated Contingency Lane
Deliberate Lane
The preferred JCIDS requirements processing lane is _________________.
The Deliberate Lane (for capabilities that require significant technical development)
Results of the JCIDS process are identified as primarily _____________________ or ____________________ solutions which are documented respectively as a ________________or ___________________
Non-Materiel or Materiel
Non-Materiel Documented as:
DOTMLPF-P Change Request (DCR)
Materiel Documented as:
Initial Capability Document (ICD) (New system Start)
(If it is just a system modification or upgrade the ICD turns into a CCD- Capability Development Document.)
. The DOTMLPF-P domain used to analyze a unit structure is: ________________Why ________________________________________________________________________.
Organization:
Bc it refers to changing the Unit Reference Sheets (URS), Force Design Updates (FDU), and TOEs.
Identify the purposes of the key organizations/functions within the Army Force Development Process of AFC (FCC & CDIDs)
Army Future Command (AFC) generates and determines Requirements
AFC
>Futures and Concepts Center (FCC)
>Capabilities Development and Integration Directorate (CDID)
Identify the purposes of the key organizations/functions within the Army Force Development Process of Center of Excellence (CoEs)
TRADOC is a Requirement Determiner through:
COEs
>Fielded Forces Integration Directorate (FFID)
& TRADOC Capabilities Managers (TCM)
Identify the purposes of the key organizations/functions within the Army Force Development Process of HQDA G-8
HQDA validates and resources all requirements and coordinates resources and requirements (requirements validation).
Identify the purposes of the key organizations/functions within the Army Force Development Process of AROC
The Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC), managed by the HQDA G8, is the Army APPROVAL body for VALIDATING requirements.
Identify the purposes of the key organizations/functions within the Army Force Development Process of Integrated Capability Development Teams (ICDT)
ICDT is underneath AFC. Allows the requirements community to address specific or designated capabilities when chartered by AFC.
How many AFC Cross-Functional Teams (CFTs) are there, and what are the 6 prioritized capabilities they are focused on?
Eight (8) teams based on Army’s 6 prioritized capability needs:
long-range precision fires,
next-generation combat vehicle,
future vertical lift,
Army network (2),
air and missile defense,
Soldier lethality(2)
Describe the following key development documents in the Force Development Process:
DCR
ICD/CDD
DCR: DOTMLPF-P Change Recommendation
-For Non-Materiel Solutions
ICD: Initial Capabilities Document
-Starting a NEW Materiel solution
CCD: Capability Development Document
-Modifying/upgrading a EXISTING Materiel Solution
What are the three primary DOD decision support systems? _________________, __________________ and ___________________.
JCIDS (requirements/solutions development)
DAS (materiel development and acquisition)
PPBE (prioritization and resourcing of requirements)
What are names of the 5 phases of the Force Development Process?
Develop Required Capabilities
Design Organizations
Develop Organizational Models
Determine Organizational Authorizations
Document Organizational Authorizations
What are the outputs of phase 1 of force development?
JCIDS documented non-materiel (DCR) and/or materiel (ICD/CDD) centric approach recommendations (COAs) to address capability gaps.
In which force development phase is a materiel solution determined to fill a capability gap?
Step 1: Develop Required Capabilities: Through JCIDS
What are the key inputs to phase 1 of force development?
Exsisting Guidance from:
NSS
NDS
NMS
TAP
Etc. Joint CMDR feedback
Who are the Army’s key players in phase 1 of force development?
Proponent CDIC/COEs or ICDT
What is the purpose of the 3 different JCIDS requirement lanes?
Ongoing Contingency Lane: URGENT <2 Yrs - To Prevent Loss of Life or Mission, requires little tech development
Anticipated Contingency Lane: Emergent <2 Yrs - Prevent LL and/or MF in anticipated or pending possible contingency operations
Deliberate Lane: Future Need >2 Yrs - Preferred route for capabilities that require significant technical development. ongoing at all times.
All requirements are CCDR/SCC driven.
