Capability Transition Management
Abstract
Primary OUTCOME (objective) is to transition capabilities that solve Joint Warfighting requirements. The capabilities developed and transitioned are the result of USJFCOM wide efforts at providing workable solutions identified by Combatant Command Commanders, Services and Agency inputs. These inputs are validated through the WarFighter . Challenge and Experimentation process (J9), Joint Training exercises (J7) , Lessons Learned and JFCOM Forward Support Element inputs (JCOA) , CWID interoperability trials ( JSIC) , Irregular Warfare forums ( JIWC) and Regional COCOM Joint Urgent Operations Need Statements ( J8) . The Capabilities Transition Division serves as the J8 Directorate lead integrator and transition expert, providing management oversight of transition activities across the command for both material and non-material solutions. The Capabilities Transition Division actively trains all JFCOM directorates and commands in the Doctrine Organization, Training, Materiel Logistics, Personnel, -Facility (DOTMLP-F ) Policy principles with the goal of improving and enhancing the capability transition process for both material and non-material solutions. Additionally, transition activities are focused on the development and processing of acquisition documentation to include; Joint Capabilities Integration Development System (JCIDS) requirements, Certification and Accreditation documentation, Concept-of Operations (CONOPS) , and Test and Evaluation results. While the same path is followed in the transition of capabilities, the reality is that each capability transition presents its own unique set of challenges and requirements until complete. The transition division continues to refine this process and streamline the timeline defining success by two objectives that ensure capabilities transitioned are sustained for the WarFighter in the out-years. The objective for a material transition is to successfully transfer responsibility and ownership of developed and mature capabilities to formal acquisition programs. The objective for non-material transition is to ensure that the DOT_ LP-FP is institutionalized in a COCOM, Service or Agency and implemented across DoD.
