JCA Lineage
JCA Refinement
Tiers 1 – 7 approved
For our purposes, Joint Capability
Areas began with the “Aldridge
Study Report”. The purpose of the
Aldridge Study was “...to examine
how DoD develops, resources, and
provides Joint capabilities.”
And while the central recommendation of the Study was DoD adopt a capabilities-based process for identifying needs, creating choices, developing solutions and providing capabilities, it specifically articulated the need for a new framework of joint capability categories as an essential common lexicon to support the services contributions to joint warfighting and enterprise support.
SPG 04 tasked the CJCS to identify, describe, and prioritize the capabilities necessary to achieve the Defense Strategy.
Last May, the SecDef approved the results of the 8 month “Operational Availability – ’05” JFCA sub-study approving 21 Tier 2 JCAs and directed further Tier 2 refinement and appropriate implementation across the department.
In March 07, the DepSecDef directed the JROC’s recommendation to conduct a JCA Baseline Reassessment.
Phase 1 of the reassessment, the “functional” reorganization to the new 9 tier 1 JCA, was approved by the JROC in July 07.
The results of phase 2, the decomposition of the tier 1s to tier 2 and 3 was approved by the JROC in Dec 07, the DAWG in Jan 08, and the DepSecDef on 14 Feb 08.

4. Capabilities Based Approach
Bottom-Up Threat Based
Top-Down Capabilities Based
Partially Interoperable Capabilities
Strategic Direction
Joint Concepts
Late Integration
Historically DOD employed a threat-based planning construct to develop forces, systems, and platforms. Requirements were often developed as stand alone solutions to counter specific threats or scenarios, and weren’t necessarily joint.
The shift to a capabilities-based approach required a significant change in focus from “bottom-up threat based” requirements to a strategy-driven, top-down approach that facilitates “born joint” capabilities developed with an integration factor from the beginning.

5. Background Study Guidance
Joint Defense Capabilities Study
(“The Aldridge Study”) – Jan 04
The Joint Defense Capabilities Study (“The Aldridge Study”), published in January 2004, first proposed the notion of identifying capability categories that span functional, operational, and enterprise activities. “This hierarchy of capability categories,” the study claimed, “would support cross-service trades, strategy-guidance articulation, capability gap analyses, and assessment of program execution” as some of the many applications.
Clearly the Aldridge Study recommendations were a major factor in the FY SPG which provided our charter under the OA Study…specifically to “identify, organize, and prioritize the capabilities required for the Defense Strategy.”

6. JROC Approved & DAWG Endorsed Tier 1 JCAs
Force
Application
The ability to integrate the use of maneuver and engagement in all environments to create the effects necessary to achieve mission objectives.
Command &
Control
The ability to exercise authority and direction by a properly designated commander or decision maker over assigned and attached forces and resources in the accomplishment of the mission.
Battlespace
Awareness
The ability to understand dispositions and intentions as well as the characteristics and conditions of the operational environment that bear on national and military decision-making.
Net-Centric
The ability to provide a framework for full human and technical connectivity and interoperability that allows all DOD users and mission partners to share the information they need, when they need it, in a form they can understand and act on with confidence, and protects information from those who should not have it.
Building Partnerships
The ability to set the conditions for interaction with partner, competitor or adversary leaders, military forces, or relevant populations by developing and presenting information and conducting activities to affect their perceptions, will, behavior, and capabilities.
Protection
The ability to prevent/mitigate adverse effects of attacks on personnel (combatant/non-combatant) and physical assets of the United States, allies and friends.
These are the nine tier 1 JCAs that were approved 14 June.
The decomposition and their definitions that you have in front of you is the result of a lot of hard work by communities of interest that include your staffs, tremendous involvement by OSD, and thoughtful inputs from the COCOMs and Combat Support Agencies.
Next slide.
Logistics
The ability to project & sustain a logistically ready joint force through the deliberate sharing of national and multi-national resources to effectively support operations, extend operational reach and provide the joint force commander the freedom of action necessary to meet mission objectives.
Force
Support
The ability to establish, develop, maintain and manage a mission ready Total Force.
Corporate
Management
& Support
The ability to provide strategic senior level, enterprise-wide leadership, direction, coordination, and oversight through a chief management officer function.

8. What Problem Does JCAs Address?
DOD processes previously talked in five different languages (some still do)…
Policy talked in terms of strategic priorities
Programming talked in terms of appropriations and PEs
Planning talked in terms of force packages
Acquisition talked in terms of cost, schedule and performance parameters
Requirements talked in terms of capabilities and gaps
You cannot have an enterprise-wide capabilities-based strategy-to-task discussion without a common language
The original JCAs provided a rudimentary language which had some traction, but fell short of being ….

“The Director, Joint Staff, and the Principle Deputy, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy were key players in the JCA baseline reassessment. They will continue to collaborate in
developing a Departmental JCA management plan,
further refining the JCAs,
deploying an authoritative JCA data base, and
providing an update to the DAWG in 10 months.”

19. PE Mapping
“To facilitate DSD's desire to integrate portfolio management into POM-10, all PEs are mapped to at least one (new) tier 1 JCA”
“Where PEs overlap two or more JCAs, a "lead" JCA has been designated…”
“The "lead" designation is merely an effort to pin the rose on someone to ensure coordination among all of the mapped JCAs for a given PE and to ensure that there are no orphans. CPMs will be accountable for all PEs for which they are designated as lead and will be expected to cover the capabilities they represent (broadly speaking) in their assessments….”
