CAPABILITIES-BASED ASSESSMENT: JCIDS2IntroductionJCIDS is a formal procedure used by the United States Department of Defense for defining acquisition requirements and evaluating ways for future defense programs, (Main, Kretser, Shearer, & Ladd, 2014). It is among the three procurement processes making up the Defence Acquisition System. The main aim of JCIDS process is to ensure that the specific capabilities that areneeded by the joint warfighters are accurately identified together with their performanceoperational requirements to successfully perform the assigned mission, (Moulton, 2015).JCIDS is a relatively new process that has been in use only from 2002 and therefore has someconstraints. Application of JCIDSAs explained by Moulton (2015), JCIDS can be used by the JROC chairman and JointChiefs of the staff in the US military to prioritize joint military capability needs throughidentifying and assessing the situation at hand. Since JCIDS is normally initiated from capability-based assessment (CBA), it helps inidentifying the operational performance and capabilities criteria that are required in missionexecution within a specified threat environment, identifying the drawbacks in the capabilitiesdelivery and the risks associated and suggest sound solutions to the capability drawbacks,(Main, Kretser , Shearer, & Ladd, 2014). Pitfalls to the CBAJCIDS uses CBA to identify capabilities and gaps. These gaps are identified throughthe analysis of the current and expected situations, [ CITATION AMo15 \l 1033 ]. However, thetypes of analysis conducted by the stakeholders to identify the capabilities and the gaps arealways not described leaving the readers with a lot of questions, [ CITATION Mai14 \l 1033 ].The system also lacks a constant criterion for prioritizing the capabilities.
