CBP process Objectives A top-down, competitive process that weighs options vs. resource constraints across a spectrum of challenges Link DoD decision-making to the Defense Strategy Apportion risk across external challenges traditional, irregular, catastrophic, and disruptive At the level of portfolios and current/future concepts Inform risk tradespace identify Joint Capability gaps, redundancies, and opportunities Facilitate the development of affordable Capability portfolios that: Hedge against uncertainty Increase costs to adversaries while suppressing our costs Integrate and synchronize the requirements process , PPBE, and the acquisition system 4.

4 UNCLASSIFIED. UNCLASSIFIED. JCAs What Are They? integral part of the evolving Capabilities-Based Planning process the beginnings of a common language to discuss and describe capabilities across many related Department activities and processes.. (SecDef Memo, 6 May 2005). JCAs are collections of like DOD activities functionally grouped to support Capability analysis, strategy development, investment decision making, Capability portfolio management, and capabilities-based force development and operational planning. (JCA Baseline Reassessment Terms of Reference). 5. UNCLASSIFIED. UNCLASSIFIED. JCA Intent Develop a Capability portfolio framework, building on the Joint Capability Area re-baseline.

5 These manageable groups provide a common lexicon to compare Service contributions to Joint warfighting and enterprise support and, therefore, support cross-Service trades.. As an integral part of the evolving Capabilities-Based Planning process Joint Capability Areas representing the beginnings of a common language to discuss and describe capabilities across many related Department activities and processes.. The JCAs are fundamental to establishing a common language to support the many DoD capabilities-base planning processes.. 6. UNCLASSIFIED. UNCLASSIFIED. What Problem Does JCAs Address? DOD processes currently talk in five different languages.

6 Policy talks in terms of strategic priorities Programming talks in terms of appropriations and PEs Planning talks in terms of force packages Acquisition talks in terms of cost, schedule and performance parameters Requirements talks in terms of capabilities and gaps You cannot have an enterprise-wide capabilities-based strategy-to-task discussion without a common language JCAs have provided a rudimentary language which have some traction, but fall short of being . DoD's Capabilities-Based Planning Rosetta Stone UNCLASSIFIED. 7. UNCLASSIFIED. JCA Baseline Reassessment Direction To broaden JCA use as a framework for Capability management throughout the Department, the following tasks are assigned: The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will conduct a base line reassessment of the JCAs and provide an update to the Deputy's Advisory Working.
