U.S Special Operations Command Munitions Requirements.
Abstract
This report is the sixth in a series of reports on DoD management and implementation of the capabilities-based munitions requirements process. The capabilities-based munitions requirements process identifies required procedures that the Military Departments and the U.S. Special Operations Command must follow to establish munitions requirements in support of the DoD Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System. The capabilities-based munitions requirements process requires that the Commanders in Chief of the Combatant Commands distribute outyear threats to the U.S. Special Operations Command and the Services based on their warfighting concept of Operations. Based on the threat distributions, U.S. Special Operations Command is to establish munitions requirements projected to the last year of the Future Years Defense Program to support planning for future procurements. The U. S. Special Operations Command did not use the capabilities-based munitions requirements process for classified munitions or those covered by special access programs. The flow chart on the preceding page illustrates the capabilities-based munitions requirements process. Previous reports addressed the capabilities-based munitions requirements theater models and associated analytical procedures used to generate threat distributions; the management of the capabilities-based munitions requirements process; and the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps processes, models, and assumptions used to generate quantitative requirements. A follow-on report will address the Air Force models and assumptions used to generate quantitative requirements.
