SI/ASI 7Y, Capability Developer for Officers, Warrant Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers.

Scope:

This course introduces the processes used to achieve desired joint and Army warfighting capabilities needed for the 21st century. Processes focus on determining, documenting, and staffing warfighting concepts, required capabilities, warfighting gaps and doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leader development, personnel and facilities (DOTMLPF) requirements and cost-benefit analyses of those potential resource informed, integration focused, outcome based (RIO) solutions. This course concentrates on inputs to and outputs of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process and related organizations; its relationship to planning, programming and budget execution (PPBE) system; and its relationship to the acquisition process and organizations. The JCIDS capabilities based assessment (CBA), analysis, and critical thinking executed in support of preparing the required JCIDS documents (DOTMLPF Change Recommendation, Initial Capabilities Document, Capabilities Development Document, and Capabilities Production Document) form the basis for the course. The PPBE is presented as the means of prioritizing, funding, integrating and synchronizing solutions to the identified need. The JCIDS process and the acquisition process and materiel life cycle model provide the structure used to tie together blocks of instruction in the course. While the course focuses on the deliberate JCIDS process, instruction and discussion also covers the urgent and immediate requirements process(es) as well.
