Defense Management: Perspectives on the Involvement of the Combatant Commands in the Development of Joint Requirements

Abstract

Congress has raised continuing issues about the extent to which the COCOMs provide input into the requirements processes to get their needs addressed. In 2009, Congress passed the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act, which, among other actions, required that the JROC seek and consider input from the COCOMs. More recently, in the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, Congress reiterated its expectation that the JROC seek COCOM input into the development of joint requirements, authorizing the JROC to direct COCOM commanders or deputy commanders to serve as JROC members for matters related to their area of responsibility or functions when directed by the JROC Chairman.
