TRADOC Pamphlet 71-9, Requirements Determination, 7 November 1997

Abstract

This guide describes the processes for determining, documenting, and approving warfighting requirements in the domains of doctrine, training, leader development, organization, materiel, and soldier (DTLOMS). It is designed to assist and guide Army personnel and organizations, inside and outside Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), and to accomplish these functions in accordance with Chief of Staff, U.S. Army (CSA) direction and guidance. The direction and guidance emanate from TRADOC Black Book number 3, 'Requirements Determination' March 1996, and Army Regulation (AR) 71-9, Materiel Requirements, 30 April 1997. The CSA appointed Commanding General (CG), TRADOC as the Army's approval authority for all warfighting requirements. The CSA also directed all Army Commanders and staff to follow TRADOC-established procedures to determine and document requirements for any new need that may affect warfighting. This pamphlet provides guidance for the following processes: concept development and approval; Future Operational Capabilities (FOCs) determination, approval, prioritization, and dissemination; DTLOMS solutions for FOCs. It provides guidance for requirements documents and TRADOC approval for each DTLOMS domain. Additionally, it provides the detailed process guide for materiel requirements documents. In the materiel requirements domain, the guide reflects significant changes in Department of Defense (DoD) 5000 series, AR 70-1 and AR 71-9. There is now a single process for documenting requirements (and for acquisition) for weapons, defense equipment, and information technology. Operational innovations, such as split-based operations and expanded use of information technology to digitize the force, improve command and control, and improve information operations, are blurring the previous distinctions.
