UNCLASSIFIED

Branch proponent The commandant of a branch school or the chief of a branch of the Army with assigned responsibilities for that branch.

Capabilities development Capability developers identify, assess, and document capability requirements related to functions, roles, missions, and operations, and then determine if there are any capability gaps which present an unac- ceptable risk and warrant further action in the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System. Identification of capability requirements and associated capability gaps begins with the proponent’s or- ganizational functions, roles, missions, and operations, in the context of a framework of strategic guid- ance documents, and if applicable, overarching plans. These changes occur in DOTMLPF – P areas that collectively produce the force capabilities and attributes prescribed in approved concepts, concept of op- erations, or other authoritative sources.

Center of Excellence Designated by HQDA, a Center of Excellence is a organization that creates the highest standards of achievement in an assigned sphere of expertise by generating synergy through effective and efficient combination and integration of functions while reinforcing unique requirements and capabilities.

Force design The design of operational and functional concepts that address the conditions of a future operational envi- ronment and its anticipated threats, and generally focuses 5 – 15 years into the future .

Force development The maturation of operational and functional concepts into Force Design Updates that fully integrate DOTMLPF – P and generally focuses 2 – 7 years into the future.

Force employment The generation of ready forces to meet the needs of the Joint force, and generally focuses 0 – 3 years into the future.

Force integration The synchronized, resource-constrained execution of an approved force development program to achieve systematic management of change, including the introduction, incorporation, and sustainment of doctrine, organizations, and equipment in the Army, coordination and integration of operational and managerial systems collectively designed to improve the effectiveness and capability of the Army, and the knowledge and consideration of the potential implications of decisions and actions taken within the execution process (see AR 71 – 32).

Force management The capstone process to establish and field mission-ready Army organizations. The process involves or- ganization, integration, decision making, and execution of the spectrum of activities encompassing re- quirements definition, force development, force integration, force structuring, capability developments, materiel developments, training developments, resourcing, and all elements of the Army Organizational Life Cycle Model.

Force modernization proponent The HQDA principal official or the commander, commandant, director, or chief of a center, school, institu- tion, or agency with primary duties and responsibilities to provide and integrate DOTMLPF – P require- ments for a particular function (TRADOCTRADOCU.S. Army Training and Doctrinal Command Critical).

Force sustainment The management and care of materiel equipment after a capability transitions to sustainment, and before the Army divests the capability. It includes the maintenance, targeted modernization, and recapitalization of enduring platform capabilities the Army must retain.

Materiel All items (including ships, tanks, self-propelled weapons, aircraft, and so forth, and related spares, repair parts, and support equipment, but excluding real property, installations, and utilities) necessary to equip, operate, maintain, and support military activities without distinction as to its application for administrative or combat purposes.
