Capability Requirements Identification and Development Processes Review
Abstract
The Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff requested that the Defense Business Board (DBB) review the Department of Defense joint capability requirements identification and development processes. A copy of the official Terms of Reference outlining the scope and deliverables for the Task Group can be found at Appendix A. The DBB was asked to pay particular attention to four first-order principles that underpin these processes: a. The role of the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, as the Principal Military Advisor to the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the National Security Council; b. The role of Combatant Commanders as the principal employers of joint and combined warfighting capabilities; c. The responsibility of the Military Services to organize, train and equip joint warfighting capabilities under Title 10, and; d. The governance and oversight roles of DoD civilian leadership, through the Administration and Congress, to set acquisition policy and allocate resources to procure capabilities necessary to fulfill the national security needs of the nation.
