Major Capabilities Acquisition (Pre Tailoring)

1 Email suggestions for improvement This chart illustrates DoDI , Ver. Major Capability Acquisition model; tailoring to individual program circumstances is essential. Major Capabilities Acquisition (Pre Tailoring) See the Adaptive Acquisition Framework for other approaches to acquiring capability. August 27, 2020. Milestone & Phase Information Requirements Acquisition & Procurement Milestones, Phases and Decision Points Statutory information requirements are These decision points, milestones and phases are standard elements of the Defense Acquisition System; however, MDAs, with PM input, have full latitude to tailor programs in the most effective and efficient structure possible, unless constrained by statute shown in dark red bold italics.
