Strategic Multi-Layered Assessment (SMA) Support
Abstract
The Strategic Multi-Layered Assessment (SMA) Cell supports all Combatant Commands (COCOMs), Joint Force Commanders and other government agencies by assessing complex operational/technical challenges, which require collaborative multi-agency and multi-disciplinary approaches. With input from across the U.S. Government, academia and the private sector, the SMA cell develops solution options to COCOM generated challenging problems and informs the command's senior leadership. Each SMA effort is initiated at the request of senior COCOM leadership. Priorities for SMA problems are set by the Joint Staff Deputy Director for Global Operations. Products are typically produced within six months and directly contribute to the decision making process of COCOM's senior leaders. SMA is also supported by the Rapid Reaction Fund (RRF).
