Joint Warfighting Capabilities (JWCA) Integration. Report on Phase 1 Research,
Abstract
This report documents Phase 1 of a RAND project to develop an analytic capability to assist the Joint Staff Requirements, Assessment, and Integration Division (RAID) in the J-8 Directorate in integrating the activities of Joint Warfighting Capabilities Assessment (JWCA) teams and the Joint Requirements Oversight Council JROC). The goal of the study was to assist RAID in the identification of broad issues and their assessment utilizing the analytic architecture defined by RNND in previous J-8 work. Phase 1 required the application of the analytic framework to near-, mid-, and long-term resource issues. The inputs to the process were the various products of the JROC/JWCA process. The research team then applied the framework to several JWCA areas to demonstrate how broad issues might be defined and, through the further application of the framework, how they might be addressed in more detail. The process is described in this draft report. Subsequent phases will further refine the process in the identification and assessment of relevant joint issues. The report should be of interest to policymakers and students concerned with the development and application of a discipline for defense resource decisionmaking - particularly a framework for strategy-to-tasks resource management.
