Synopsis as published on the index
Reference (a) identifies the need for Department of Defense requirements; acquisition; and Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution processes to work in concert in order to provide capabilities needed by warfighters. It establishes joint policy and procedures for the requirements process. Reference (b) establishes Marine Corps policy and procedures to conduct capability-based planning in order to develop fully integrated future warfighting capabilities, along with their associated support and infrastructure. Both references (a) and (b) define deliberate processes, incorporating extensive analysis and integration in order to most efficiently provide the most effective capabilities. The Deputy Commandant for Combat Development and Integration (DC CD&I) will lead the UNP in order to rapidly field an interim solution to the mission-critical capability gap identified in an Urgent UNS, once certified by the supported Commander of Marine Forces (COMMARFOR) conducting the combat or contingency operations.
