URS & FDU
Conceptual requirements for a new organization
or
Corrections in organizational structure deficiencies for existing organizations.
What is the basis of the Unit Reference Sheet (URS)?
Provides a standard method of documenting the organizational structure of the Army.
What are Tables of Organization and Equipment (TOE)?
The three milestones decisions within DAS?
What are A, B, and C?
Chaired by the VCSA (approval authority delegated by CSA) to assess, validate, and prioritize all JCIDS documents before submission to the J-Staff for consideration.
What is the Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC)?
Who are the JS J8 and DA G8?
1. Personnel listing for each section by MOS & grade
2. Major and/or unique equipment for each section by LIN, nomenclature, and quantity
3. Narrative that provides: mission, assignment, capabilities, limitations, dependencies, basis of allocation, category, mobility requirement, doctrinal references, and an organization chart
What are the elements or parts that make up the URS?
Is a Requirements Document that states the planned placement of quantities of new equipment and associated items of equipment and personnel, as well as the reciprocal displacement of equipment & personnel.
What is a Basis of Issue Plan (BOIP)?
Materiel Solutions Analysis, Technology Maturation & Risk Reduction, Engineering & Manufacturing Development, Production & Deployment, and Operations & Support.
What are the five phases of the Defense Acquisition System (DAS)?
Army Capabilities and Integration Center (ARCIC),
Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC), and
Army Requirements & Resourcing Board (AR2B).
Who are the Army's Requirements "Approvers?"
ARCIC - oversees DOTMLPF analysis to recommend a solution.
AROC - considers standard, deliberate, or POM type of materiel program recommendations.
AR2B- considers fielding solutions... usually deals with more urgent or rapid acquisitions.
This term is used for items that capture the minimal operational effectiveness and suitability attributes needed to achieve the overall success during system development.
What are Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) and Key System Attributes (KSAs)?
These items are testable/measurable characteristics that are clearly defined through the contracting processes before entering the EMD phase of DAS.
TRADOC, MEDCOM, and USASOC capability developers.
Who, primarily, develops the Unit Reference Sheet (URS)?
This prescribes the doctrinal mission, required structure, and mission-essential wartime requirements (MEWR), and specifies the capabilities, limitations, and dependencies for the unit.
What is a TOE?
The phase in DAS designed to reduce risks in technology, engineering, integration, and life-cycle costs so a decision to contract and enter the next phase can be made with confidence.
What is Phase 2; Technology Maturation & Risk Reduction?
Program, Project, and Product.
What are the three types of program managers within Army's Materiel Process?
Program Managers = GO or SES
Project Managers = COL or SES [BDE Cdrs]
Product Managers = LTC or SES [BN Cdrs]
System Upgrades, System Modifications, and New Systems Support are options that are executable through which Army Decision Support System?
What is DAS?
Capabilities development, requirements determination, requirements approval, and implementation decisions processes.
What are the processes that make up the Army's Force Design Update (FDU) to develop new organizational requirements or changes to existing ones to overcome identified capability shortfalls that cannot be accommodated by doctrine, training, leadership and education, or personnel solutions?
This document, also, directs development of the BOIPFD, BOIP, and related documents by the materiel, combat, doctrine, and training developers.
What is the BOIP?
The approval authority to move from one phase of DAS to the next.
Who is the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA)?
The highest systems acquisition review Council in the Army.
What is the ASARC?
Failure in one or more of these items can result in a reevaluation of an entire system; possibly resulting in terminating an entire program.
What are key performance parameters (KPPs)?
What are TRADOC appoved by FDUs (TRADOC FDUs)?
A compilation of information about a new or improved item of equipment, is amended as the system matures, and is developed by materiel developers to initiate the BOIP development.
What is basis of issue plan feeder data (BOIPFD)?
Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) is the entry point from JCIDS to DAS; however, this item is the actual entry point for DAS.
What is the Materiel Development Document (MDD)?
The responsible party for guiding their assigned program through each of the DAS milestones, and associated materiel acquisition cost, schedule, and total system performance (i.e., programmatics).
Who is the Program Executive Officer (PEO)?
Focuses on delivering operational capabilities to the field, and compliant products to organizations. In addition, it has two sub-phases:
Low rate initial production (LRIP) and Full rate production (FRP).
What is Phase 4 of DAS; Production & Development.
LRIP - produces the min # needed to test and eval. Ensures the MAN has the needed capacity, quality, and efficiency to meet contracting demands.
