1.Purpose.This instruction provides joint policy,guidance,and
procedures for JROC programmatic processes that support the following:
a.Developing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff joint
experimentation(JE)guidance,reviewing and endorsing US Joint Forces Command’s(USJFCOM’s)JE campaign plan,and exploiting joint
experimentation results(see Enclosure A).
b.Recommending changes to existing joint resources when such
changes are not associated with a new defense acquisition program.For
the purposes of this instruction,joint resources include doctrine,
organization,training,materiel,leadership and education,personnel,
and facilities(hereafter referred to as“joint DOTMLPF”)(see Enclosure
B).
2.Cancellation.This instruction supersedes CJCSI3010.02A,“Joint
Vision Implementation Master Plan(JIMP),”Appendix E to Enclosure A.
3.Applicability.This instruction applies to the Services,combatant commands,Joint Staff,Defense agencies,and joint and combined
activities.This instruction also applies to any organization that supports
the JROC’s role in advising the Chairman on JE,requirements
prioritization,the conformance of programs to priorities established in
defense guidance,and requirements integration not exclusively dealing
with new defense acquisition programs.
4.Policy
a.Director,Joint Staff10,United States Code,(reference a) establishes the JROC.The JROC Charter(reference b)provides overarching guidance for both the JROC proper and its direct support subpanels.This instruction delineates the responsibilities and procedures for organizations involved in bringing recommendations forward to the JROC and ultimately to the Chairman for review and action.
b.The Defense Reorganization Act of1986(Goldwater-Nichols legislation)provides the statutory basis for CJCS review of major personnel,materiel,and logistics requirements of the Armed Services in relation to plans,programs,and budgets.The Chairman uses the JROC as an advisory council to help fulfill his10USC responsibility to provide advice to the Secretary of Defense on requirements prioritization and the conformance of programs and budgets to priorities established both in strategic plans and those identified by the combatant commands.
c.The JROC primarily advises the Chairman regarding requirements, programs and budgets via the programmatic processes(described in this instruction)and the requirements generation system(reference c).For the purpose of planning and preparation of documents,Figure1depicts the respective paths and venues used when DOD components request
Figure1.Accessing the JROC Processes
JROC review of warfighting requirements and associated potential
materiel and nonmateriel DOTMLPF resource solutions.
(1)The left side of the chart shows the traditional JROC acquisition process.DOD components may propose materiel solutions that require a new defense acquisition program to best satisfy a deficiency,take advantage of technological breakthroughs,or replace aging systems.These proposed solutions,aligned with joint concepts and architectures,will take the form of mission needs statements(MNS),operational requirements documents(ORDs)or Capstone requirements documents(CRDs)as described in the requirements generation system.The JROC reviews all Major Defense Acquisition Programs as well as those designated as JROC special interest items(references c,d,and e).
(2)The right side of the chart depicts the JROC programmatic processes that are covered in this instruction and further described below:
(a)Proposals to change,institutionalize,and/or introduce
new joint doctrine,organization,training,leadership,personnel,and facilities resulting as an output of JE or other assessments to meet operational needs.
(b)Requests for support within the Future Years Defense Program(FYDP)for additional numbers of existing systems previously produced or deployed via the requirements generation system.
(c)Requests for support within the FYDP to meet an established need justifying the timely allocation of resources to achieve a capability or accomplish approved military objectives,missions,or tasks (e.g.,increases to manpower,operational tempo,spare parts,fuel supply, recruiting,etc.).

ENCLOSURE A
JOINT REQUIREMENTS OVERSIGHT COUNCIL PROGRAMMATIC
PROCESS FOR JOINT EXPERIMENTATION
1.Purpose.This enclosure provides the process for developing the
CJCS JE guidance and review and endorsement of USJFCOM’s JE campaign plan.
2.Introduction.The JROC programmatic process for JE meets specific CJCS guidance to formalize USJFCOM’s input into the JROC process.
The desired outcome is to better translate the results of JE into planned, approved,and resourced deliverables for the joint warfighter.
3.Procedures--Integrating JE into the JROC Process
a.JE Guidance
(1)Submittal.Joint Staff,J-7,office of primary responsibility (OPR)for JE guidance development)solicits JE guidance inputs from the combatant commanders,Services,Joint Staff,OSD,and Defense agencies. Simultaneously,the Joint Warfighting Capability Assessment(JWCA) teams may recommend potential JE focus areas to the JROC either as an output of their efforts to develop operational concepts and integrating architectures or from assessments.The JROC reviews JWCA inputs and conveys priorities to the J-7via a JROC memorandum(JROCM)both to refine the JE program for the first year of the program objective memorandum(POM)and to introduce and establish more substantive JE changes or requirements in the second and subsequent years of the POM.
(2)JROC Review and Endorsement.After compiling all inputs,J-7 drafts CJCS JE guidance,coordinates with the combatant commanders, Services,Joint Staff,OSD,and Defense agencies,and briefs the proposed text to the JROC for review and endorsement.Any JROC-recommended changes not included by J-7in the final draft will be provided in side-by-side format to the Chairman.
(3)Chairman’s Program Review(CPR)Language.Based on JROC input,JWCA leads and other DOD components may develop potential CPR language to reinforce JE guidance.CPR language,if proposed,will
be vetted with the combatant commands to the extent practical during
the CPR Joint Requirements Board(JRB)and/or JROC combatant command coordination trips(reference d).
(4)CJCS Approval.The Chairman reviews,signs,and sends JE guidance to USJFCOM as an input to facilitate deliberate planning and resourcing for joint warfighting experimentation.The Chairman also reviews,signs,and sends the CPR(including language reinforcing JE guidance)to the Secretary of Defense for potential action in the Planning Programming and Budgeting System(PPBS).(Refer to reference o.)
b.JE Campaign Plan
(1)Submittal.Following coordination with the combatant commanders,Services,Joint Staff,OSD,and Defense agencies, USJFCOM submits the JE campaign plan to the Chairman via the JROC for review and approval.The plan defines the structure of the proposed JE and outlines USJFCOM objectives,methods,and events to achieve those objectives.The plan also includes the proposed resources to achieve the objectives.
(2)JROC Review and Endorsement.Coinciding with written submittal,USJFCOM briefs the JE campaign plan to the JROC.JWCA teams and other DOD components,as applicable,also attend the JE campaign plan briefing.Following successful review,the JROC endorses the JE campaign plan and forwards it to the Chairman for approval.
(3)Chairman’s Program Assessment(CPA)Language.Based on JROC input,JWCA leads and other DOD components may develop potential CPA language to reinforce the JE campaign plan.CPA language,if proposed,will be vetted with the combatant commands to the extent practical during the CPA JRB and/or JROC combatant command coordination trips(reference d).
(4)CJCS Approval.The Chairman reviews,signs,and sends the JE campaign plan to USJFCOM for execution.The Chairman also reviews,signs,and sends the CPA(including language supporting the JE campaign plan)to the Secretary of Defense for potential action in the PPBS.
c.JE Recommendations.Recommendations resulting from joint experiments and other assessments are submitted to the Joint Staff,J-8, in accordance with Enclosure B to this instruction and other DOD guidance,as require
d.
4.Responsibilities
a.Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.The Chairman provides overarching JE guidance and is the final approval authority for USJFCOM’s JE campaign plan.
b.JROC.The JROC and subpanels(Joint Requirements Panel(JRP) and JRB)reviews and coordinates on the proposed CJCS JE guidance and endorses USJFCOM’s JE campaign plan.
c.JWCA Teams.The JWCA teams may recommend additional or modified language for CJCS JE guidance either as a result of their efforts to develop operational concepts and integrating architectures or from assessments.The JWCA team leaders will coordinate on USJFCOM’s JE campaign plan and attend USJFCOM’s briefing to the JROC.
d.Joint Staff
(1)Directors,Joint Staff,J-1through J-6.Provide inputs for JE guidance development,as requested,and coordinate on USJFCOM’s JE campaign plan.

JOINT REQUIREMENTS OVERSIGHT COUNCIL PROGRAMMATIC
PROCESS FOR JOINT DOTMLF CHANGE RECOMMENDATIONS
1.Purpose.This enclosure describes the procedures and responsibilities for organizations involved in bringing joint DOTMLPF change recommendations to the JROC for consideration.
a.This guidance applies to DOTMLPF changes that are outside the scope or oversight of a new defense acquisition program.(Note: DOTMLPF changes associated with,and integral to,new defense acquisition programs are addressed in CJCSI3170-series,reference c.)
b.The procedures outlined in this enclosure may also be used for processing DOTMLPF change recommendations that require additional numbers of existing systems(without modification)produced or deployed via the JROC requirements generation system.Additionally,these procedures may be used to support acquisition of existing items or commodities(e.g.,increases to manpower,operational tempo,spare parts,fuel supply,recruiting,et
c.)to meet an established operational nee
d.
2.Introduction.As innovation,new technologies,JE,requirements reviews,combatant commanders’issues lists,warfighting lessons learned,etc.,spawn potential enhancements to operational capabilities, the JROC will review specific change recommendations for joint warfighting utility and programmatic implications.Based on the findings,the JROC will provide recommendations for the Chairman’s review and action.
3.Procedures--Integrating Joint DOTMLPF Change Recommendations into the JROC Process
a.Generating Joint DOTMLPF Change Recommendations.Recom-mendations for joint DOTMLPF changes may be received from a variety of sources including,but not limited to:
(1)Joint and Service experimentation.
(2)Assessments by JWCA teams,Senior Warfighter Forums (SWARFs),battle laboratories,JROC-directed special study groups, combatant commanders,Services,Joint Staff,OSD,and Defense agencies.
(3)Review of existing MNSs,ORDs,or CRDs.
(4)Combatant commanders’issues collection and prioritization, technology demonstrations,warfighting lessons learned,and exercises.
b.Format Standards.Joint DOTMLPF change recommendation documents will be uniform across all DOD organizations and include discussion of the following:
(1)Purpose.
(2)Background.
(3)Description.
(4)Summary of analysis process.
(5)Specific recommendation and proposed implementation plan (including priorities,benefit to joint warfighters,timing and resources).
(6)Constraints.
(7)Issues.
(8)Recommendation summary.
(9)Package disposition.
NOTE:A sample template to assist in preparing recommendations is found in Appendix A,to this enclosure).
c.Submitting Recommendations.Recommendations for joint DOTMLPF changes are prepared in accordance with the above paragraph and submitted to the Joint Staff,Force Structure,Resources,and Assessment Directorate(J-8)/Requirements and Acquisition Division (RAD)through the DOD component organization for staffing.The document will be the DOD component flag-level coordinated position and forwarded with a cover letter identifying the document,date,any schedule drivers,and a working-level point of contact.All documents entering the review process are considered draft and do not require a formal signature until after JROC consideration.
(1)Format.The submission will be an electronic copy in Microsoft Word Version6.0or higher.
(2)Electronic Database.All recommendations are submitted to the Joint Staff database for review,comment,and endorsement.The current database is the Joint Command,Control,Communications, Computers,and Intelligence(C4I)Program Assessment Tool(JCPAT); SECRET Internet Protocol Router Network website URL address is
http://206.36.228.76.The JCPAT is used by DOD components to submit documents,post comments during flag reviews,and track current status of documents.
(3)DOTMLPF Change Recommendation Priority Level.Each DOTMLPF change recommendation will be assigned a priority level based on a balanced assessment of the potential value,cost,impact,and timeframe needed for implementation.The sponsor will make the initial assessment;however,the priority level may be changed by the JROC. The following three priority levels apply:
(a)Emergency.Immediate action is required to fulfill an urgent joint warfighting requirement or correct a serious DOTMLPF deficiency.Emergency DOTMLPF recommendations will be processed as swiftly as possible and should be used on a rare and exceptional basis. The goal for implementation is90days from submittal to the Joint Staff; however,a shorter timeframe may be required.
(b)Priority.Timely action is required to meet a significant joint warfighting requirement or swiftly exploit opportunities to improve joint DOTMLPF capabilities.The goal for implementation is less than6 months from submittal to the Joint Staff.
(c)Routine.The nature of the DOTMLPF change recommendation allows resourcing through a normal PPBS cycle.The goal for implementation is less than18months from submittal to the Joint Staff.
d.Formal Change Recommendation Review Process.Once a document enters the formal JROC flag review process,it will be staffed to all combatant commanders,Services,Joint Staff,OSD,and Defense agencies for review,endorsement,and comment.
(1)Flag Review and Functional Process Owner(FPO)Endorsement
(a)J-8,RAD,will review and verify the format for accuracy and completeness.J-8will staff the draft document via Joint Requirements Oversight Council staff memorandum(JROCSM)for combatant commanders,Services,Joint Staff,OSD,and appropriate Defense agency flag review.The suspense date will normally be a minimum of30days
from transmittal date,with additional time provided if warranted by the complexity of the change recommendation or if critical comments require further analysis and adjudication.
(b)Functional process owners(J-1:Personnel;J-4:Facilities; J-7:Doctrine,Leadership/Education,and Training;J-8:Organization and Materiel)will use the JROC-approved criteria in reference f to make the following endorsement statement(FPOs will withhold endorsement of a joint DOTMLPF change recommendation until critical comments are resolved):
“The Sponsor(combatant commander,Service,and/or
agency),in coordination with the applicable FPO,has
adequately addressed potential impacts on joint,
multinational,and interagency warfighting and other
operations with respect to Joint_______________(“Training”for
example)resulting from the[implementation of this concept]
or[acquisition and employment of this system].”
(c)Flag review comments should be identified as critical, substantive,or administrative.Convincing support for critical and substantive comments will be provided in a Comment/Justification format.Definitions are provided below:
1.Critical.A critical comment indicates nonconcurrence
in the document until the comment is satisfactorily resolved.If the nonconcurrence is not resolved after flag review,the document will proceed to the JRP.The briefing to the JRP will address all unresolved issues.
2.Substantive.A substantive comment is provided because a section in the document appears to be or is potentially unnecessary,incorrect,misleading,confusing,or inconsistent with other sections.
3.Administrative.An administrative comment corrects what appears to be a typographical,format,or grammatical error.
(d)Incorporation of Flag Comments and Brief Preparation. Upon completion of flag level review,J-8,RAD,will compile and forward
all comments back to the sponsor via JROCSM for final incorporation or revision.Once the sponsor has incorporated flag-level review changes,
and has developed the JROC briefing,J-8,RAD,will schedule JROC briefings with the JROC Secretariat.Unresolved critical comments will
be briefed to the JRB and JROC.
(2)JROC Briefing and Schedule.Briefings for the JRP,JRB,and JROC will be prepared in accordance with reference g.The DOD component will provide the updated draft document and briefing slides 48hours prior to all scheduled briefs.
(3)JROC Recommendation to the Chairman.The JROC Secretary will consolidate the JROC’s recommendations(including the recommended lead Military Department,combatant command,or Defense agency)and forward a JROCM along with the sponsor’s change recommendation to the CJCS for approval.
e.Implementation of Change Recommendations.Under the direction of the Director,Joint Staff,the DOTMLPF Integration Team(an executive steering group)will support implementation(reference e). Issues that cannot be resolved by the Director may be elevated to the JROC for potential consideration as a CPA or CPR issue(reference c).
