Strategic Multi-Layered Assessment (SMA) Support
Abstract
The Strategic Multi-Layered Assessment (SMA) branch supports all Combatant Commands (CCMDs), Joint Force Commanders, and other government agencies by assessing complex operational and technical challenges, which require collaborative multi-agency and multi-disciplinary approaches. With input from across the U.S. government, academia, and the private sector, SMA develops options to CCMD-generated challenging problems and informs the command's senior leadership. Each SMA effort is initiated at the request of senior CCMD leadership. Priorities for SMA problems are set by the Joint Staff Deputy Director for Global Operations (DDGO). Products are typically produced within six to nine months and directly contribute to the decision making process of CCMD's senior leaders. SMA is also supported by the Rapid Reaction Fund (RRF).
