Combat Capability Developer (CCD)
Abstract
The primary objective for this effort is to meet joint warfighter command and control (C2) needs through a flexible and responsive capability-needs development and oversight process across the full spectrum of C2 development; strategic-to-tactical. The CCD identifies joint C2 requirements/capability needs and essential Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities – Policy (DOTMLPF-P) attributes to support development and fielding of agile C2 solutions in response to validated warfighter needs. The CCD serves as DoD’s operational sponsor and Warfighter advocate for Global Command and Control System-Joint (GCCS-J) capabilities and Joint C2 capabilities, and as joint functional sponsor to develop requirements for the Global Theater Security Cooperation Management Information System (G-TSCMIS). It also serves as DoD’s operational sponsor for Multi-National and Mission Partner (MNMP) requirements development, including Unclassified Information Sharing capabilities. The CCD employs a formalized C2 governance and management process codified in CJCSI/M 3265.01, CJCSI 6285.01B, and the JROC-approved Charter for Joint C2 Capability Requirements Governance to collect, collate, validate, prioritize, and sequence the many C2 stakeholder requirements and capability needs, and ensure Service and agency development efforts are synchronized. As a key leader of C2 governance and management processes, the CCD co-chairs two C2 working groups with OSD, Joint Staff, Services, Combatant Command, and Agency participation to evaluate the health of current C2 capabilities. Further, it co-leads an O6-level CCD Council of Colonels to identify and address C2 issues, and recommend solutions to senior level C2 forums up through the Vice Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. To synchronize C2 development efforts, the CCD leads semi-annual Plan Build conferences composed of Service and Agency materiel developers to prioritize and coordinate C2 development efforts by fiscal year. To support requirements management and capability development/integration, the CCD conducts C2 mission capability analysis through C/S/A engagement to inform and recommend resource allocation and acquisition decisions for senior portfolio management. Additionally, the CCD oversees maintenance and development of innovative tools and techniques to support analysis of C2 capabilities based on technical, operational, and programmatic criteria.
